Trinidad-born singer, songwriter, and composer Viren Neel has released “Reds and Blues,” his new single featuring SensaMotion.
The soulful tune glides across an inviting backbeat, as Neel charmingly croons about romance. Musically, the song sits at the cross section of reggae, soul, and old school R&B, a blending of genres that feels both innovative and natural.
“It took 3 years to make this possible,” Neel explained to his fans on Instagram, detailing how “Reds and Blues” came together with producer Loud City. “The premise was -‘What if we took early 1960s soul and put a skank beat on it?’ That’s the essence of ‘Reds and Blues.’”
“Way later on, I had the fortune to have SensaMotion sing on the track,” Neel continued. “And SensaMotion having such an established footprint in the West Coast reggae scene and collaborations with artists such as Stick Figure- that too, was an opportunity I had to hop on.”
