cd cover
RAD. - Live in Japan

Certainly the first ingredient to this Live CD is rhythm. The mean grooves and intricate interplay that rad. and her band weave through night after night lure listeners in effortlessly. A natural entertainer as much as a fierce instrumentalist, rad. commands the stage from the very first minute of her show.

cd cover
RAD. - East Babe

Growing up in the East Bay city of Oakland's notorious Fruitvale District in the 1970's, both area and era shaped rad.'s musical taste and esthetic. rad. remains true to the art of the ALBUM, identifying roots of today's dance music and weaving them into her own trunk of funk. In this context rad. digs deeper, goes for essence - minimalist at times, orchestral when needed.

cd cover
RAD. - Live at the New Morning, Paris

Music insiders have known for a long time that rad. live is a special treat. Her unique funked up blend of Jazz, Soul and Latin styles, tricky rhythms and time signatures performed with ease by her seasoned band are a thrill to witness in a club. After hearing this CD PRINCE asked rad. to join his band.

cd cover
RAD. - Make Every Second Count

rad.'s music is always a sophisticated blend of styles with that rad. specific sound. No different on this album, the petite dynamo keyboardist-vocalist, unveils eleven tracks to be stoked about. Co-produced with long time collaborator Michael Kirsch, this CD is reminiscent of her energetically funkified earlier albums.

cd cover
RAD. - Higher Plane

A thoughtful mixture of soul, latin and funk, rad. manages to mesh gut-wrenching groove and intellect with her own musical signature. Higher Plane will ease you from a loud Saturday night into a sunny Sunday morning, and still allow you to be painfully hip.

cd cover
RAD. - Gotta Be

Joining rad. for this album on the California sessions were players Ray Obiedo on guitar, David Garibaldi on drums, Michael Spiro on congas and Bobby Vega on bass, the Tower of Power Horn Section and Roger Troutman. The Hamburg session was recorded with musicians from Hamburg and London. A classic.

cd cover
RAD. - radified

rad.'s 1992 debut album. A purely analog assault on the early 90s digital music world. This album instantly put rad. on the map and earned her record of the month in many European Music magazines.
