For the realization of Re: Reyn and La Kidda buried themselves into rooms with instruments and audio recording stuff and recorded, recorded and recorded. The Ultimate musical Playground with nobody watching over his or her shoulders, Re: has become a pop album, with singer-songwriter La Kidda right in the middle of it. Less rocking than her work with her former band Handsome 3some - check their release QUAB on CD Baby - more song-orientated and electronic. It jumps from techno-beating "Love Will Come My Way" to Prince-like ballad "Best Thing" and story telling "Cats or Dogs" and "Kitchen Song". As Dutch magazine OOR already described once as La Kidda's style, she can be a sweet little angel at one time and turn suddenly into a vixen-to-be-avoided.
As soon as La Kidda had said goodbye to her guitar-playing and singing role in Handsome 3some, she wrote and recorded these songs with Reyn just to have some fun. This resulted in an indie release with La Kidda as the CEO of her own label Labelized.
Producer Reyn? Hey Nerdies: HE is the guy that composed your ultimate Commodore 64 tunes! Last Ninja, Flimbo's Quest, Dutch Breeze: Flip the Flop and Unreal, that's him. Besides pop music, Reyn has written and/or produced a couple of film scores for some independent movies. And secretly, that is his biggest passion. On the album Re:, the track "Zzzzz" reveals this obviously.
Other musicians appearing on Re:
Marcel "Kokos" van As - pre-production/drums/vocals/Fender Rhodes - drummer Handsome 3some. Is now playing with Iain Matthews; working on his own project Kokos - instrumental jazzy beats
Matto Kranenburg - bass/vocals - Now playing with one of Holland's best selling acts Kane, www.kane.nl, used to play with La Kidda's former band Handsome 3some. "All Or Nothing" is very 'Matto'.
Eni-less - Composer of Zzzz- La Kidda heard a demo of this very talented producer/turntablist from Rotterdam and turned one of his tunes into Zzzz. In reverse, she'll be appearing on the first solo-album of Eni-less, expected in 2003.
Bart Wijtman - bass - In the Netherlands known for his role in "Hasjee Royaal" - www.hasjee.nl, a funny musical act which is Bart's main thing. One should almost forget that this guy is a very talented and extremely funky bass player. So La Kidda asked him for a feature on her album...
