Russian Red - “I Love Your Glasses” - 2008
Russian Red is Lourdes Hernández, a singer-songwriter, performer, and artist from Madrid. Russian Red first came to prominence in her native Spain with the release of her 2008 debut album, 'I Love Your Glasses', produced by Fernando Vacas in eureka studios and published by eureka discos SL.
Lourdes' passion for music was obvious since a very early age, but wasn't public until her high school classmates and a teacher encouraged her to sing for other people and it is then when she realized that music can be something important in her life. She was only eighteen at that time.
Two years later, Lourdes shares moments of solitude with her guitar, and with no expectation whatsoever, starts composing music for her own lyrics. 2006 is the year in which she decides to play in bars of the city she comes from - Madrid - and it is in "Tres Tristes Trastes" where a new Lourdes sings a first set of songs under a new artistic name. That day Russian Red was born.
Soon Russian Red opens her myspace account, and it is there where, for the first time, her songs gain life through the thousands of fans that are daily captivated by her simple and emotional songs: 70.000 visits before the release of her album “I Love Your Glasses”, 1.555.000 visits twelve months afterwards. Now Russian Red is nearly a mass phenomenon, on the verge of turning into a project of international weight.
Russian Red stands for the new generation of contemporary musicians. Her ability to compose in English and her innate capability for melodies have turned this project headed by Lourdes Hernández into one of the hopes for a most demanding generation relay, a music that surpasses all frontiers. Her debut 'I Love Your Glasses' is an album with great songs, written entirely by Lourdes and with a near perfect production.
