Originally from New York, MISS VELVET has been around music since she was a child when her mom used to take her to musicals, concerts, and the opera. Enriching experiences, it seemed like the music infectiously spread through her, and soon, Miss Velvet was born. After years of plugging away with her band, full of aspirations, an opportunity to open for the legendary George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic presented itself in 2018. Exciting, soon Miss Velvet attracted broader attention with her powerful and soulful Rock-n-Roll voice.
Applying the ups and downs of everything to the music that made up the debut album two years ago, Miss Velvet now takes a bold step forward with her new EP ‘‘Triptych”. Released through Miss Velvet’s own Mother Ride Records via The Orchard / Sony, the latest release is more than music—it is a cinematic concept piece that engages the senses.
Broken into three parts, Miss Velvet confesses that ”Triptych” tells the story of betrayal, transformation, and self-liberation. There are seven tracks (three of which act as interludes between the movements), all full of raw Rock-n-Roll emotion.
Honestly, it feels like something a Classic Rock band from yesteryear, like Led Zeppelin or The Who might have recorded because they clearly distinguish between the songs and purpose. Quite inviting and old-fashioned yet modern and daring simultaneously, it is safe to say Miss Velvet took a chance with ”Triptych” and has found success.
Memorable, the three main tracks (“Pistols at Dawn,” “Strut,” and “Hallelujah”) have unique qualities at every turn. Full of unforgettable melodies, the music of ”Triptych” is almost mystical, while Miss Velvet bears her most profound emotions in a raw, sincere manner.
Overall, Miss Velvet is a lady of Rock-n-Roll with class, talent, a soulful heart, and introspection that is hard to come by.
