For those unaware, Neo soul singer Rebecca Jade shares her songbook on her brand new album, A Shade of Jade this coming October 14th, 2022.

Vocalist Rebecca Jade has carried a journal in her backpack ever since she was a college athlete at UC Berkley. She journaled her thoughts, feelings, reflections and experiences in the form of poetry and song lyrics.

However, although she sang and came up with the album title A Shade of Jade, she didn’t consider herself to be a songwriter and didn’t have the confidence to put out original material, so she just toted the notebook around thinking one day.

That day has arrived. Jade opened the pages of her journal to create the R&B, jazz and pop songs that she wrote and co-produced with Carnell Harrell for A Shade of Jade, which will be released via LadyJade Music.

1. Show Me
2. Please Come Home
3. My Reason (ft. Dave Koz)
4. What’s It Gonna Be
5. Drift Away
6. Thankful
7. Beautiful Lies
8. Bottle Up Magic (ft. Eric Darius)
9. Other Side of the Moon
10. Insane

This expertly sculptured, heartfelt and organic new album opens on the soulfully-charged grooves within Show Me and the lushly orchestrated tones of Please Come Home and follows those up seamlessly with the euphonious My Reason (featuring Grammy Award Nominated, Multi-Platinum selling jazz icon Dave Koz), the absolutely beautiful, mid-tempo soul rhythms within What’s It Gonna Be, and the delicate, wispy gossamer of Drift Away.

Up next on this simply divine, veritably heavenly album is the atmospheric Thankful and the soaring Beautiful Lies and they are in turn followed by an old school bluesy jazz vibe within Bottle Up Magic (featuring International jazz recording artist, Eric Darius), the album coming to an all too soon close on the R&B hipsway of Other Side of the Moon and the smoothly funky Insane.

The bare bones of a couple of the songs on this album have been sitting and waiting patiently to come to life in a lyric book from many years ago, Rebecca reveals. I knew in my heart that I had something to say that might resonate with others.

I have had the title for this album since college, and I wasn’t even doing music at the time. With this being my first album that I wrote and co-produced, I feel like it represents who I am because I have so many different styles of music that have influenced me and make their way into my music. This album is one of, hopefully, many ’shades of me’.

Rebecca’s songs on A Shade of Jade are personal, visceral, emotional and motivational. Melody-rich harmonies emoted skillfully with warmth, passion, urgency and ardor, her voice reflects the authentic heart and soul of a confident and courageous woman; an artist desiring to connect with listeners via intimate stories, resonate themes and messages of hope and inspiration.

Rebecca dares to make herself vulnerable, loves, desires and fantasizes freely, confronts brazenly, celebrates with gratitude in the face of loss, and empowers strength and resilience.
