In this age of bland, cookie-cutter artists with manufactured sounds and store-bought personas, few artists are worth a listen. Redd Velvet is one of those few! On a mission to restore Soul/R&B to the ‘Gold Standard’ set by such artists as Al Green, Aretha Franklin, O.V. Wright, Candy Staton and others, Redd Velvet wrote this music. She delivers each song with the authority of a woman who has “been there and done that”. Just when you thought there was no real music being made by real singers and musicians, WOMANHOOD 101 is confirmation that all is not lost. Listen to the music. Learn the lessons!
