The Capitol single release! @10pm, Renu album release @11:45pm

Out of Austin, Texas, The Capitol leads the funk back into the popular music landscape. The Capitol sound is a mix of old and new; a rebirth of the glory age of the funk of the 1970s when large ensembles like Earth, Wind, & Fire, and Tower of Power dominated the nation's airwaves. The Capitol's brand of funk is tailored to today's listener through careful attention to pop-inspired songwriting while paying mind to the modern influence of hip-hop, R&B, and Neo-Soul.

Get ready to groove with RENU, the sensational R&B/acid jazz collective hailing from Austin, Texas. Spearheaded by the incomparable saxophonist Renuka Jayasinghe, this much-anticipated solo project marks a new chapter in her musical journey. Having already left an indelible mark on the music scene with her mesmerizing saxophone performances, Renuka has now assembled a stellar ensemble featuring talents from Wild Child, Sir Woman, Tomar & the FC's, Glass Bandit, and Allisen & the Wy's Guys.
Born out of mutual admiration and shared musical passion, RENU is a fusion of soulful rhythms and infectious grooves that captivate audiences from the first note. With original compositions that evoke the spirit of Erykah Badu's groove, the magnetic charisma of D'Angelo, and the intricate harmonies reminiscent of Hiatus Kaiyote, RENU offers a fresh take on contemporary R&B.
