​Kyshona (from the album Listen available on Tone Tree Music)
The creative flow is a non-stop current before and during the recording process for a new album in the life of the musicians with their names on the cover. Once the last chord has been added and the final word uttered, artists experience their version of Post-partum and PTSD. When Kyshona let go of her recent release, Listen, she felt that gut punch loss, explaining in a Billboard interview that ‘since completing this album, there has been a theme that keeps coming up: fear. Fear of being ignored, fear of being seen. Fear of being misunderstood. Fear of being abandoned and alone. But every night I have walked on a stage or into a space and stood in that fear, I’ve been shown that I can not only conquer them, but that those fears allow me to connect with people. That’s what I have wanted this album to be: a reflection that allows connection’. Addressing a world at large, Kyshona takes blame on a universal level, dubbing all humans “Fallen People” on the sway of sweet soul music. Listen sings/speaks the end of tolerations in the title track over a thorny bed of poking percussion, feels the pull of spirit tugging troubles away on the gospel strut of “Worried Mind”, and drifts in a dream melody as it holds out a hand for balance for “More in Common”.
 
Nashville, Tennessee-based Kyshona stayed close to home for the recording of Listen, heading into Music City’s The Bomb Shelter with studio owner, and co-producer, Andrija Tokic (St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Alabama Shakes, Hurray for the Riff Raff). The questions Kyshona is hearing as she second-guesses love come alive in the funky groove of “Too Much” as she heads for the barricades armed with inspiration in “Marching On”, and whispers promises on the gentle Folk of “My Own Grave”. Using a wide palette of sounds, Kyshona colors every word of Listen with bright emotions and the rich hues of passion, roping in dread on the snaking rock’n’roll rhythms of “Fear” and signing her commitment for change onto a declaration listing our lack of rights in “We the People”.
