Vernon Reid - Hoodoo Telemetry

Vernon Reid — Hoodoo Telemetry 

Limited edition purple colored vinyl

The virtuosic talisman Vernon Reid has announced details of his new solo album Hoodoo Telemetry, which will be released on October 3, 2025 on Artone / The Players Club Records.

If you've followed the beats of his half-century career, you'll know Vernon Reid as an artist who paints in every color. Depending on the era you dive into and the album on your turntable, you'll find the New York polymath pinballing between jazz, metal, punk, funk, electronica and hip-hop, cutting heads with collaborators as eclectic as Mick Jagger and Public Enemy, endlessly shedding his skin yet always speaking his truth.

Globally celebrated as a giant of electric guitar (he was recently hailed by Rolling Stone as being among the top 50 players of all-time), Reid's Grammy Award-winning records with alt-rock trailblazers, Living Colour, still sound as fresh and fierce as when Cult Of Personality hijacked the Billboard chart in the late-'80s. But to take the pulse of the zeitgeist as he sees it — and hear his fearless musicality in microcosm — you need only drop the needle on his new solo album.

Hoodoo Telemetry isn't a linear piece, but a thrillingly tangled tapestry of genres, collaborators and material from different time periods.
