Artists:R-Three
From WWR
|
R-Three, based in northern California, is an independent music project with a rotating line-up of collaborators centered on the words, music and production stylings of singer and driving creative force Rhett Redelings.
At the core, the R-Three project is about truth: Finding it, understanding it and telling it, no matter how personal, painful, unfashionable or challenging it may be. Known as much for unusual and genre defying song arrangements as the lyrics in those songs, the music of R-Three is about the inner processes, asking and struggling with the big questions while trying to bring something new and genuine to the musical landscape. Regarding the atypical approach to arrangement that characterizes most R-Three songs, Rhett Redelings had this to say:
“I believe that we appreciate art when the delivery or presentation of that art jars us and frees us from our preconceptions and expectations just a little bit, so we can experience it for what it is instead of comparing it to our previous experiences. In music, I attempt to do this by making unexpected sound choices, collaborating with artists who are coming from a very different place than I am and by using atypical time signatures, unusual arrangements and musical explorations that deviate just a little bit from the pop formula, so long as it serves the song and keeps the energy where it should be. I do this not to be clever, or elitist, or weird but because I believe you can only really appreciate a new experience if it feels both familiar and, at the same time, brand new.”
The artists who contribute musical elements and performances are encouraged to challenge the initial framework of the songs they work on, to add their own ideas and interpretations and to compliment or contrast the works of other contributors; leaving it to Redelings to pull it all together into something that serves and enhances each song in a hopefully fresh, compelling and universally resonant way.
R-Three is not a rock band, nor is it strictly Redelings’ solo project. R-Three does not conform to expectations, respect genre lines or seek to find and perfect the formula for perfectly seamless or marketable pop music. R-Three is trying to make a kind of music you’ve never heard before and push the envelope just a little bit while still delivering catchy hooks, infectious beats and memorable lyrics.
R-Three doesn’t make rock, pop, electronica or alternative anything. R-Three makes what can best be described as “smart-pop”.
