About the Album
Curtains of Light, the upcoming record from Toronto
jazz singer-songwriter Whitney Ross-Barris , blends
jazz, choral, neo-soul, spoken word, and folk
elements into an album of exciting new music that
crystallizes deeply human stories of disconnection,
longing, and beautiful resilience born from the last
few challenging years.
Woven together with field recordings from Whitney’s
daily life and featuring both in-the-pocket groove and
sweeping cinematic arrangements by award-winning
multi-instrumentalists Michael Shand and Drew
Jurecka, Curtains of Light offers striking sonic variety
from beginning to end.
From the buoyant energy of Bourgeois Reverie and
the unapologetic groove of Bird of Paradise, to the
soulful yearning of If I Were You and the winter winds
and Northern Lights evoked by Jurecka’s strings in
Curtains of Light, every track invites us to reconsider
the meaning of connection, community, love, and
home – and what happens to us when they are
suddenly out of reach.
Curtains of Light was released on Friday,
November 21st 2025.
