Album Release Spotlight – Rrinaco

In the world of bluegrass, where tradition often reigns supreme, Corrina Rose Logston Stephens debuts her original album, “Little Songs” by Rrinaco offering a refreshing and profound personal journey. As a respected member of the band High Fidelity, Rrinaco is obviously no stranger to the genre, but with this album, Corrina steps off the traditional path to explore a sound that is uniquely her own. The collection of songs seem to feel both intimate and universally resonant.

“Little Songs” isn’t about flashy, complex melodies, or blazing instrumental solos but it finds its power in simplicity. You can tell that each word was carefully chosen by how the simple arrangement delivers that emotional punch. This album proves that you don’t have to have a lot of notes or words to say a lot.

When you listen to the album, you can find yourself relating to many of the songs, whether it is about your journey with God, uncomfortable times, a ringing in the ear or etc. All the songs are delivered in a very raw but therapeutic way. Eleven of the thirteen songs were written by Corrina Rose. “The Voice of the Southland” written by Gene Austin, Marty Bloom and Ted Koehler (P.D.) was arranged by Jeremy and Corrina to use string instruments and perform as a duet. While many fans have loved and wished for the recording of “The Voice of the Southland” from their shows, Corrina was very excited to share a favorite old hymn. “Abide With Me” written by Henry Lyte and William Monk (P.D.) has been referred to as a “funeral song” but Corrina brings it to you in a more “living” way on “Little Songs” by Rrinaco.

“The Veil Has Been Lifted”, “Two or More”, and “I have Changed” are the spiritual songs that we all love and need. “Enough of this Way”, “Get Along Somehow”, “Introvert Me” and “Not That Bad” are songs that we all can relate to. “Introvert Me” helps explain that taking time away or just time for us is okay. “Not That Bad” is that song for those who are struggling or suffering from depression, anxiety, or etc. It hopes to show that it is okay to “count your blessings” or give that little extra to help climb out of the darkness.

“Asbestos” is a light-hearted song about a serious health issue that Corrina overcame a few years back. “Elephant in the Room” describes that awkward time when friends are together, but no one wants to talk about the certain topic, ever been there?

This isn’t just an album of songs; it’s a window into years of music that was, until now, trapped inside Corrina’s mind. The collection of songs seems like a release, or a gate opening up – a pouring out of melodies and stories that were just waiting to be heard. “Little Songs” is a powerful testament to the idea that true artistry comes not from following a formula, but from bravely expressing what’s in your heart.
