Acclaimed neo-soul and R&B singer Claire Reneé’s new single, titled “Red Lights” is off her upcoming nine-track album Wings. The album is inspired by relationships and how we cope with both the beautiful and challenging sides of them, touching on certain experiences that help us navigate through these situations.
Claire confides, “The human experience encompasses lots of different emotions. There may be some anger, sadness, clarity, visits from spirit guides, and even epiphanies. We lead out by honoring that we want to change or see change in our lives. That includes doing work on ourselves while reminding ourselves we will always push through and even find our wings. Getting to the other side brings light and even empathy to the very same ones who hurt you, couldn’t show up for you, or wronged you in the past’’. The accompanying video, directed by Dean Singleton, features Claire immersed in a red-lit bookstore as a symbol of peace and refuge.
‘Red Lights’ is a song that I wrote when l felt super frustrated and stagnant, yet I felt like I was on a hamster wheel and couldn’t get off. Everything around me seemed to be moving so quickly. It’s about taking time to slow down and sit with ourselves, sometimes even heeding to signs from our own ancestors and spirit guides.” The track features soulful melody and experimental instrumentation combined with thought-provoking lyricism.
