Vocalist and songwriter Laura Ann Singh presents her new album Mean Reds, a deeply personal and sonically expansive project that traverses jazz, folk, and global influences with fearless honesty. Known for her evocative voice and ability to blur genre boundaries, Singh brings listeners into an intimate conversation about vulnerability, resilience, and the beauty that can emerge from darker emotional landscapes.
Mean Reds captures a spectrum of moods—from haunting ballads drenched in longing to rhythmically charged pieces that pulse with vitality. Throughout the record, Singh’s voice serves as both anchor and guide: tender yet commanding, introspective yet outward-reaching. The album’s arrangements showcase a stunning blend of lush harmonies, delicate acoustic textures, and unexpected instrumental layers that reveal Singh’s vision as not only a performer but also a compelling storyteller.
The title, Mean Reds, takes its inspiration from an evocative expression of anxiety and restlessness—an emotional state that Singh explores with nuance rather than despair. Each track reflects a step in that exploration, unfolding like journal entries set to music. The result is an album that is as cathartic as it is artful, inviting listeners to find pieces of their own stories within hers.
