Digital music artist TeamRHI has
released his newest LP album, the RedRecords debut release
appropriately titled “Introduction.” The record includes 12
original tracks comprising 50 minutes of listening. These tracks have
a surprising variety and scope, showcasing not only the elasticity of
composer, performer, and producer TeamRHI himself (who is also
founder and head of RedRecords), but also introducing many of the
talented people in the myriad genres RedRecords will be publishing in
the months and years to come. For this reason as well as many others,
“Introduction” promises to be one of TeamRHI's most capital
albums, and very likely the release that defines RedRecords during
the period of its inception.
The music of “Introduction” is
largely upbeat and dance minded, but there is a dark side to the
record that can be surprising at times. The album has at its heart
and core the personality of composer TeamRHI, which tends toward the
melodic with ambient undertones, but which personality was also under
emotional turmoil at the time of the record's writing. It is also
notable that at least one of the album's tracks was composed when
TeamRHI was a mere 12 years old.
RHI himself writes of this, “I
released my first single, 'Blasta [Track 9],' with Zeyphyre when I
was 13. It was released three days after my father’s suicide, which
led me to alter many of my other songs to a darker, more sad state.
These songs were previously high-tempo dance songs with incredible
riffs, and with this my streak of genre-mashing began. I started to
add guitars and piano to synthpop and dance music, and I began to try
out new synthesizers that I’ve never heard before to use as
counter-melodies or harmonies in many of my songs.” TeamRHI was not
alone, however, nor is he now. He comments, “Many of my friends are
also musical, so I began my own label – RedRecords – to showcase
their talent.”
And the LP “Introduction” does this
job extremely well. “Cyanide” features pristine, warm, natural
vocals by TeamRHI and RedRecords friend Jillian Gilburne. “I Love
Suburbia” features vocals by Mariel Sokolov, whose voice is
gorgeous cutting through the space-age effects sparkled onto her by
RHI. “New Jazz” features Jillian and Alexa, as well as some very
interesting chord progressions by RHI, and of course RedRecords
collaborating mastermind Zeyphyre appears with RHI on “Blasta.”
Indeed it does, and if the incoming releases from RedRecords are half the album that TeamRHI's “Introduction” is, then the music world is going to be hearing an awful lot about RedRecords for years to come.
