Jazz Vocalist Kris Russell Releases New Single, 'Down in Brazil,' Along With New Tristeza Fragrance
LAS VEGAS, May 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Jazz Vocalist Kris Russell will release her newest single titled 'Down in Brazil,' a contemporary bossa nova with music and lyrics written by Jazz singer and award winning artist and composer Michael Franks, with a new arrangement by Kris Russell and the Mystery Jazz Ensemble. It will be featured on smoothjazz.com, Global Radio and other radio stations in the USA and around the world on May 15, 2017.
Kris is excited and eager to build on the momentum from her first single released last year, a sophisticated, sultry, symphonic bossa nova with arrangement by Richard Rome, of Cole Porter's classic Jazz Standard, 'I Concentrate On You.' With the introduction of this newest single, Kris endeavored to record a more contemporary sound and song from a contemporary artist, yet still include the sound and instrumentation of traditional bossa nova that she loves so much.
Brazil, with its pulsating, rhythmic sounds, incredible food, gorgeous sandy beaches, unique smells, vibrant colors and beautiful music, inspired Kris to create her newest CD 'Down in Brazil,' and also inspired her to design her new trademark signature perfume that she is releasing at the same time as her new single for family, friends and fans. The perfume's name was inspired by a recording Sergio Mendez did of the classic Brazilian song 'Tristeza,' which in Portuguese means 'no more sadness.'
"It's impossible to listen to the Brazilian classic song 'Tristeza' and remain unhappy and sad. It's a beautiful uplifting song, so inspirational and filled with such joy and happiness," says Kris.
Her Tristeza fragrance and new single will be available on her website at www.krisrusselljazz.com and other social media sites.

The signature perfume will be available on her site in beautiful 2 oz. bottles as well, and will be sold at her live music performances.
After reading the master perfumer Roja Dove's classic, "The Essence of Perfume," Kris began designing beautiful perfumes and will create one just for you if you like, as she just wants share her passion and art. Details will be available soon on her website! "Creating perfume is a skill as well as an art, just as creating and performing music is a skill and art, and I'm excited to be creating and sharing with everyone some of the art and the music I love!"
