A radiant folk sounds emanates across “Runnin’,” a stellar new single from NYC-based singer/songwriter Kat Reinhert. The lyrical drive within celebrates a sense of renewal — “not running away, running toward something new,” — and feels poignantly reective of its time period, written during the pandemic.

New York City-based jazz singer-songwriter Kat Reinhert is no newcomer to the music industry: As a much sought-after music educator with one self-produced full-length record and two more on the way, Reinhert makes music for the soul; classy, colorful, and cozy.

On her upcoming album, Spark, releasing this August, Reinhert presents 13 instrumentally lush, vocally exquisite, lyrically moving tracks exuding with the gentlest production, allowing for tender treatment of the instruments, which are all so full in their own way. Opening track “Walk Into The Rain” is a bubbling, mellow song that highlights Reinhert’s gorgeous range and dabbles in coffee shop jazz while “Paper Bag” sounds like gears turning, with a unique pop-jazz rhythm and quizzical lyrics. The slightly haunting bossa nova “How Do You Know” launches at listeners with its moody instrumentation as lyrics like “Is love a verb or is love a word you must say?” make our heads spin in the best way. Including a special cover of Canadian rock band Rush’s hit song “Limelight”, Spark covers all the bases, providing twinkling classical melodies, poignant lyrics, and slick jazz rhythms.

Kat Reinhert proves on Spark that she is as versatile as she is signature, combining modern orchestral instrumentals with classical jazz influences, unafraid to experiment with tempo and song form, exhibiting a fearlessness that makes her music wonderfully one-of-a-kind.
