Soulful vocalist Ruthie Foster’s latest work, Let It Burn, is a deeply intimate recording: a smoky mix of original songs coupled with inventive interpretations of an unexpected collection of covers – ranging from Adele to Los Lobos, and from The Black Keys to Johnny Cash. Recorded in New Orleans at the legendary Piety Street Studio, with a small group of A-List musicians that includes George Porter Jr. of the legendary Meters, Ruthie takes the listener on the most personal visit yet with her deeply moving vocals.

More On This Album
After collaborating in the studio and live on their most recent project (GAYNGS), it became apparent to vocalist Channy Leaneach (formerly Casselle) and producer Ryan Olson that they should form a collective of their own. Olson’s pop sensibilities and electronic adventurism would prove to be the perfect vehicle for Channy’s recent evolution from a roots-folk band vocalist to a R&B-bred performer. Thus, POLIÇA was born.

As astute students of the history of rock n’ roll and purveyors of a sound that cross-references the British Invasion with ‘70s southern U.S. rock, Zeus demonstrates a band with an innate ability to create powerful and infectious music and do so as though it’s an entirely natural process. The instrument-swapping Mike O’Brien, Carlin Nicholson, Neil Quin and Rob Drake – have wasted no time earning high profile fans and collaborators, from members of Broken Social Scene to Bahamas.
