An accomplished songwriter and sought-after collaborator, Persaud released her solo debut, \"Let Me in Show You\" in 2019.  Her upcoming 2022 album, \"Moody31\", unrolls a portrait of longing, romance, loss, and connection, fueled by the Toronto-based singer’s undeniably sultry voice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter casually demoing songs for over a year, Moody31 coalesced in November of 2020 at Safe Spaceship Records in Toronto with collaborator Scott McCannell. “Scott and I shared the same desire to create something new while preserving the classic warmth of the 70s soul and jazz sounds we love.”  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersaud’s voice is rich and silvery on ‘Good For Us,’ gliding over Christine Bougie’s whispery guitar lines. ‘I Got You’ has a breezy sensuality, while ‘Words for Her’ is fraught with the anticipation of saying ‘I love you’ for the first time in a blossoming romance. The title track is daring - and surprisingly - stripped-down: an instrumental featuring diminished and major 7’s that fall alongside gently lush yet anguished vocals. On each song, Persaud delivers a steady emotional build that manages both smooth melody and ardent catharsis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The record explores therapy culture, boundaries, and the creation and dissolution of various intimacies. While the music harkens back, Persaud’s honeyed vocals and inward-facing storytelling are immediate and fresh. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e “Music has been my life for 10 years. It’s only now that I feel as though I can begin to recount the past and bring my experiences into what I’m doing now. I hope Moody31 celebrates and validates the human experience in all its contradictions: how new love can be experienced alongside deep loss, how one can crave solitude and connection, simultaneously. It’s beautiful to embrace all of our moods - it’s living.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1. Good For Us\r 2. I Got You\r 3. Think of Me\r 4. Moody31\r 5. Unsung\r 6. Words For Her\r 7.
