(New York, NY): Priscilla Renea's new album "Coloured" is now streaming via NPR First Listen. Out June 22 via Thirty Tigers, the album dissolves boundaries between country, R&B, soul, folk and roots, for a "truly one-of-a-kind, progressive sound" (Taste of Country) that Priscilla calls "a gumbo of pop, dirt road country and urban, mixed together with a keen sense of contemporary politics and millennial perspective."
