Record Kicks is proud to present you "Release Me"
the new single by Oporto soul queen Marta Ren & The Groovelvets' that will
hit the streets next Friday 01 July.
"Release me" is the second single from Marta Ren's heavily
acclaimed debut LP "Stop, Look Listen" that came out on February 2016
on Record Kicks. The album has gained international support by Radios like BBC
6, FIP (Radio France), KCRW (Los Angeles), Triple J (Australia) and from djs
such as Craig Charles (BBC6), Dj Monk (Wax Poetics), Eddie Piller (Acid Jazz
Records), Francis Viel (Mouv/Radio France). "Release Me" comes
together with a new spectacular video shot by director Marco Oliveira at Oporto
Psychiatric Hospital and that features a cameo of Portuguese poet and rockstar
Adolfo Luxúria Canibal famous to be the singer of portuguese band Mão Morta and
French art group Mécanosphère.
Marta Ren is not a newcomer as she has been around in the
Portuguese scene since the mid 90s lending her deep and powerful voice, amongst
others, to break-beat outfit The Bombazines, recording two albums and
establishing her unique talent at clubs and festivals all around Portugal. But
Marta's passion has always been for the deepest funk and rawest soul of the
sixties, and now the time has come for her to show the world her immense
talent. With a powerful voice that would make the founding soul sisters proud,
Marta Ren is looking to rule the world and make herself a household name.
