Lauren Henderson - RiptideVocalist, composer, and arranger Lauren Henderson is having
an exceptionally busy year. Besides a full touring schedule, which includes
performances in several European countries, she’s releasing two CDs in 2018.
Ármame, was released in March and received stellar reviews for both her vocal performance
and her original compositions. Riptide, her second recording project of the
year, is an EP comprising six of her original tunes that explore a complex and
tumultuous relationship.
She engaged
some up-and-coming jazz stars from both New York and Miami to appear on this
project. Riptide is Henderson’s fourth CD. Each of her projects stands as a
chronicle of her growth as an artist. Her music is strongly inflected with
jazz, Latin, soul, and fusion elements, and also reflects her multicultural background.
Henderson’s voice is sultry and soulful. Whether she’s singing in English or
Spanish, she has a sure sense of swing that doesn’t rely on melisma or
pyrotechnics. Her music aims for your heart rather than your head. Lauren
Henderson is a rising jazz star. She’s talented, smart, and driven to make
interesting, multicultural, multi-textural music. She’s been growing her
audiences in jazz clubs and up and down the East Coast and around Europe, and
she’ll soon be breaking into the African music market with a tour in South
Africa scheduled for early 2019.
