“Now you can go to a show three times a week.
“ Everyone wants to work together, everyone is an artist,” she says. She gives praise to other artists chasing their goals in Providence’s healthy music scene fellow singers like Lily Rayne, punk group Hairspray Queen, and Downtown Boys’ guitarist Joey DeFrancesco’s solo project La Neve. “His neverending support and belief in me is definitely the inspiration for me chasing this dream,” she says. Aura’s father, with whom she’s lived since she was 14, passed away earlier this year after a battle with lymphoma, a cancer that attacks the immune system. Courtesy of Iris Creamerĭenim shares the lessons that Iris has learned it’s also a tribute to one of the people who taught them to her. “Electricity” is a low vibrational, tender love song laced with hushed jazz horns, Iris waxing romantic about a boo who’s “take me to the top/tell me she’ll forget me not/because I’m the one she’s been dreaming of.” Wistful interlude “La Luna” is a brief but weighted snippet of Iris singing a lullaby to the sky. Other tracks serve as vessels for this wisdom “Fish in the Tank” is a meditation on perspective and ambition “Villains” featuring fellow Providence emcee Rosé Petal, an ode to independence. “Taking care of ourselves and each other and loving each other for our hearts and personalities, not because we have on all the latest gear.”) (“ We need to get back to basics,” she offers later in explication. “I’m not going to hop up on your dick because you’re rich,” Iris advises in the lyrics. “Pink Pistol” sets the album’s tone of healthy messaging with an anti-materialist cautionary tale to those who would wave their wrist in a woman’s face before catering to her mind. “Lemme See” is Denim’s most provocative, club-strung hip-hop track. “But I want everyone to start out knowing me as an artist with the oldest of my stuff.” That careful meting of material is impressive given her claim that she’s laid down enough material in Providence studios to fill three EPs. (She has also released several singles, including the soothingly positive “ It’s Always Sunny In Vagina.”) “I’ve advanced so much more,” she says of this curation. “This is how I felt, how my feelings were, where I was mentally.” Two years have gone by since she wrote this collection of tracks, but they are the starting point that Iris has chosen for her relationship with fans. “ I wanted it to be how my soul felt,” Iris explains. Those in search of bossy vocalists will find much to love on Denim. That her first big project has come together in such an admirable cohesion is the mark of an artist who is ready for her music to take hold in fans’ inner monologues. The 20-year-old Dominican producer also handles all her own administration, from management to graphic design.
Iris Creamer sang and produced the vast majority of the original songs on her debut album Denim. You should listen to Iris Creamer because: The producer and vocalist makes assertive club R&B whose lyrics arm you against scrubs and inner complacency.
