If you have caught City Lights’ weekend show, you’ve probably heard Atlanta musician Adron. Her song “Pyramids,” from her 2011 album “Organismo,” is our theme music. Needless to say, we are big fans here. Adron’s follow-up album, titled “Water Music,” is finally finished and will be out later this summer.
The music draws on a variety of influences, primarily Brazilian pop music from the 1960s, artists like Luiz Bonfá and Astrud Gilberto. But the young musician also admits a love for what she calls “very cheeseball adult contemporary.”
“I’m a ginormous Michael McDonald fan,” she says. She was also able to tour with Donald Fagen in 2017, which she calls “the craziest thing that ever happened to me.”
Some of the latter influence can be heard in one of the albums’ songs, “Your Habitat,” which she premiered on “City Lights.”
She describes the recording process for “Water Music” as having been a long, epic, ambitious studio project. She says that’s partly due to the attention to detail in the recording, but owes largely to the difficulties in getting it released.
