| << RED RUBY STARS
Modern Icon/Ropeadope Records release 'Red Ruby Stars', Debbie Deane’s much anticipated third album,is a meditation on longing, heart-break, anger, guilt, recovery and forgiveness. In 12 songs that fuse Debbie’s soulful and sophisticated jazz harmonies with intimate, autobiographical songwriting, Debbie writes unflinchingly about the break-up of a marriage, her ex's addiction and passing, the loss of a loved one on 9/11, the need for prayer and forgiveness, and letting go. On Red Ruby Stars, Debbie sings--sometimes with gospel power, sometimes in a sensuous funk groove—-of emotional survival as she declares her intention to be happy, to love, and to thrive.
