Colorized

Talk about creative visualization! Capping a prolific decade as a recording artist, U.S. Air Force veteran and composer/saxophonist R.L. Walker’s latest album COLORIZED invites listeners to create mental images of the compelling eight-song journey. His hope is that this will help listeners connect with the emotions he conveys as he mood swings from popping mid-tempo funk and crunch-grooving jams to sweetly reflective ballads (including an ultra-sexy Whispers cover). As Walker, who developed his alternately crisp/edgy and silky soul vibes in South Korean clubs and talent shows while stationed overseas, says, “Music gives color to the air of the moment.” With tracks produced by Walker and longtime collaborator Lew Laing, Jr., the sonically exciting set includes tracks featuring special guests vocalist Castella, Gerey Johnson on acoustic guitar and bassist Christian de Mesones.
