Rykarda Parasol Returns with Highly Anticipated Fifth Album, 'Tuesday Morning'
Rykarda Parasol, the San Francisco-based singer-songwriter, is back with her highly anticipated fifth album, Tuesday Morning, set for release on October 24, 2023. The album, which will be available on major streaming services, promises to captivate listeners with its unique blend of dark lounge rock and 60s elegance.
The lead single, "A Gigolo's Manifesto," showcases Parasol's ability to create a mesmerizing sonic experience. With a nod to the likes of Serge Gainsbourg and the Velvet Underground, the song combines haunting strings and guitar with Parasol's captivating vocals. The lyrics delve into the narrator's detached approach to a romantic love interest, adding an intriguing layer to the track.
Tuesday Morning is a testament to Parasol's personal growth and transformation since her last album. The record explores themes of recovery, the dynamics between predators and prey, and the complexities of relationships. Parasol's skills as both a physical and sonic collagist are on full display, creating a rich and immersive musical experience.
Fans of Parasol's music will appreciate the evolution of her sound, which has transitioned from dark to light while still maintaining her signature gin-tinged voice and off-center style. After taking a hiatus and relocating to Paris, France, Parasol found inspiration in her friendship with musician Marc Ottavi, resulting in three co-written songs on Tuesday Morning.
The album effortlessly captures the cool and shadowy elegance of the Velvet Underground while infusing elements of psychedelic and 60s pop. Parasol's self-made emblematic cover art adds another layer of depth to the album. Produced by Parasol herself, with recording assistance from long-time engineer/bassist Mark Pistel and production contributions from Ottavi, Tuesday Morning is a collaborative effort that showcases the talents of keyboardist Marc Capelle and drummer Danny Luehring.
Rykarda Parasol's musical journey has taken her from her hometown of San Francisco to stages across Europe. Her music reflects her diverse influences and experiences, drawing inspiration from travel, philosophy, psychology, poetry, literature, and personal encounters. With Tuesday Morning, Parasol invites listeners into her world of introspection and musical exploration, promising a captivating and thought-provoking experience.
