Get ready to vibe with Lorna Reid, the jazz singer-songwriter who’s about to drop something truly special. Her new album “I Will Tell Your Story” is on the horizon, led by the chill, soulful single “Sweet Baby Blues,” dropping November 23, 2024. If you’re into late-night grooves with a touch of heart, this one’s for you.

“Sweet Baby Blues” shakes up Reid’s usual full-band swing with a stripped-back sound that lets her raw talent shine. Co-written with Darden Smith during a creative retreat in the picturesque Scottish Highlands, this track is your perfect 2 am jam, featuring smooth piano vibes and a sax solo that hits just right.

The album “I Will Tell Your Story” blends jazz, blues, and soul with influences spanning from jazz legends like Ella Fitzgerald to the eclectic vibes of Joni Mitchell and punk pioneers like X-Ray Spex. It’s a sonic journey that takes you from chill, introspective ballads to tracks that’ll have you moving to the beat.

Entirely recorded in Scotland, the album enlists some serious musical heavyweights. With production from the likes of Boo Hewerdine and contributions from musicians such as Louise Clare Marshall and Gustaf Ljunggren, it’s got that fresh, polished feel. Catch the single “Sweet Baby Blues” coming out of Castle Sounds Studio for those crystal-clear vibes.

Lorna Reid’s not just about the music; she’s about experiences. Her wide-ranging influences and exploratory spirit mean that her tunes are full of character and global flavor. Remember her genre-bending 2013 album “Falling Like Dew”? It set stages on fire, including the Rochester NY International Jazz Festival, by shaking up the standard jazz scene.

Live gigs to hype up the new album start in March 2025, with stops at Linlithgow Jazz Club and Ayr Jazz Club, and later in the year at the Northwest Castle Jazz Weekend. They’re the perfect spots to catch Lorna Reid in her element.

Expect “I Will Tell Your Story” to drop in March 2025, delivering all the vibes you need. Get into “Sweet Baby Blues” first, and let Lorna Reid’s soulful sounds lead your playlist into the new year!
