Krystle Warren is a Light in Dark Times on Spirited New Single "Thanks and Praise" [Premiere]

If you're a fan of uncut soul and spirited r&b, Krystle Warren should not escape your gaze or rotation. Later this summer, the globetrotting vocalist and musician will perform at the soon-to-be-complete Electric Garden Studios, home of Black Messiah co-pilot Ben Kane and some of the baddest hired hands on the planet, along with Chris Dave, Emily King and Kendra Foster. Now a cross-pond resident taking shelter in the warm embrace of France, Warren is ready to unveil her own new chapter, gearing up for the release of her forthcoming album, Three The Hard Way.

As a taste of what's to come, Warren has blessed us with the premiere of the project's first single, "Thanks and Praise." Here, Warren proves to be a light in dark times, wielding a muscular voice over a calming country funk ballad, burning slow to ease your aching heart. Hear Krystle Warren's latest below and hold tight for her next transmission in the weeks and months ahead. Pick up your copy of "Thanks and Praise" via Bandcamp today. Tune into NPR's All Things Considered this afternoon for details on the new project.
