Following the success of MoodSwing in 2022, Redman returns with his latest project Where Are We. An album of songs about specific places in the USA, it is both a celebration and a critique of America, as much as it's also a project of ballads, standards, romance, social reflection, melodic invention, improvisation and even tribute. Above all, it is a meditation on power and the importance of place.
