Hollywood, CA – June 12, 2024 – Renowned singer-songwriter Kimberly Brewer steps into the spotlight with her sultry new single “Tasting Sunshine,” released on July 8 via Kimberlily Records. Best known for her high-profile support vocals for legends like Stevie Wonder, Vanessa Williams, and the late Teena Marie, Brewer is now captivating audiences with her music.
“Tasting Sunshine” is a masterful blend of jazzy vocal licks and a bluesy backbeat, featuring Brewer’s whispery alto voice in a duet with Mark Kibble, a founding member of the Grammy-winning sextet Take 6. Adding to the track’s allure are the soulful alto saxophone strains of Gerald Albright. Both Kibble and Albright are longtime friends of Brewer from her early years in the music industry.
Brewer shares the inspiration behind her song, stating, “I wrote this song a long time ago. Any particular person didn’t inspire it. The idea of tasting sunshine just came to me, making me think about the euphoria of a kiss and finding your soulmate. In a way, it’s about my imaginary husband.”
The song’s lyrics delve into the power of imagination and the profound connection one feels when meeting their true love:
Imagination is such an amazing thing/how I imagined myself with you before I ever saw your face In the prison of my mind, you provided me the key/You helped me open up the door to set my spirit free
Produced by the prolific Chris “Big Dog” Davis and executive produced by Byron Miller, “Tasting Sunshine” was previously recorded by Lynne Fiddmont in a different arrangement. This new, slower rhythm version marks Brewer’s third single, following her cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Don’t Make Me Wait Too Long” and the title track of her forthcoming album, “Just That Sweet To Me.”
Kimberly Brewer, originally from Hackensack, New Jersey, moved to California with dreams of making it big in the music industry. She reflects on the journey of being an independent artist, stating, “As women, we sometimes adopt a persona of independence because we lack that person in our lives. ‘Tasting Sunshine’ expresses my longing for a love that feels euphoric when I find my soulmate.”
