A Studio Guest and New Music: Reviewing the November 14 Venus Sings Radio Show

KINGSTON, RI - Since moving to twice a month on WRIU, Venus Sings Radio has been full of fun. As a member of the crew producing Voices of Women, I've made it a point to design Venus Sings Radio as a sub-space for new, exclusive, and underrepresented music (by women) in the genres of neo-soul, hip hop, reggae, and world rhythms, and even poetry from time to time. In addition to bringing you their work , I've been presenting the artists directly, through studio visits and exclusive interviews.

Saturday, November 14 was no different.

Ready to talk about a new album she's released and excited to engage with the families of WRIU and Venus Sings Radio, Kim Trusty joined me in the studio to talk shop, music, and inspiration. She gave listeners early access to her CD, "I Will Be Waiting," while I picked and played new pieces from Ceu and Sara Tavares.
