Scheduled for release on October 9th via Merge Records, this new project builds upon the foundation of her previous works, New Breed and Second Line, delivering a deeply realized sonic world rooted in rich cultural history.
This latest collection is more than just music; it is an immersive artistic endeavor where Richard steps into the role of King Creole, actively rebuilding her beloved hometown of New Orleans through her unique lens. The album doesn’t merely reflect the city—it constructs it, offering a perspective that feels both nostalgic and powerfully utopian.
Creole Culture is presented as a breathtaking soundscape, capturing the complex rhythm and spirit of the Crescent City. It explores the layers of New Orleans identity, transforming familiar sounds into an uplifting, almost dreamlike atmosphere.
Listeners can expect an experience that is simultaneously soulful and revolutionary. Richard uses her artistry to craft a narrative that celebrates the resilience and beauty of New Orleans while painting it with vivid, contemporary colors.
The forthcoming release promises to be a journey for anyone who appreciates music woven deeply with cultural heritage. It’s an invitation to explore the city’s history through a sound that is uniquely her own—a celebration where the past meets a luminous future.
Mark your calendars for October 9th and prepare to step into the intoxicating rhythm of Creole Culture.
