New music alert! 💿‼️🚨

Curtains of Light, the new record from Toronto jazz singer-songwriter Whitney Ross-Barris, blends jazz, choral, neo-soul, spoken word, and folk elements into an album of exciting new music that crystallizes deeply human stories of disconnection, longing, and beautiful resilience born from the last few challenging years.

Woven together with field recordings from Whitney’s daily life and featuring both in-the-pocket groove and sweeping cinematic arrangements by award-winning multi-instrumentalists Michael Shand and Drew Jurecka, Curtains of Light offers striking sonic variety from beginning to end.

From the buoyant energy of Bourgeois Reverie and the unapologetic groove of Bird of Paradise, to the soulful yearning of If I Were You and the winter winds and Northern Lights evoked by Jurecka’s strings in Curtains of Light, every track invites us to reconsider the meaning of connection, community, love, and home – and what happens to us when they are suddenly out of reach.
