A Venus Sings Weekend on WRIU

Reza Rites on WRIU, Voices of Women - Saturday, March 7, 2009:
You'll Dance, You'll Ponder, You'll Sing Out Loud

by Reza Corinne Clifton

My last two visits to WRIU have been marked by classic, smooth, or soft melodies; think Sade, Aretha, Feist, Jill Scott, Corinne Bailey Rae, and Esperanza Spalding. I love them, I do. But it's time for dance, experimentation, blurred boundaries and eccentricities; think CSS, Lykke Li, Terri Lynn, Little Jackie, Alaine, Nina Sky, and Santogold.

Now, that's not to say that I'm throwing out that good ol' blues, funk, or R&B. On the contrary; I'm currently reviewing and selecting artists like Duffy, Sharon Jones, Angie Stone, Minnie Ripperton, and Lauryn Hill.

If it's a Venus Sings weekend on WRIU's Voices of Women: Expect the Unexpected; Confront the Unfamiliar; Enjoy the Creativity. We're going for a ride this Saturday, 9- 11 AM (EST) on 90.3 FM or livestreaming at www.wriu.org.

Peace,
Reza Rites
