Does Rita De Los Angeles look like someone who shot a man in Reno?
Her voice, marked by a smoky, husky quality, is deeply expressive, delivering the kind of intensity that makes listeners feel the story she’s telling.
This isn’t just a song—it’s a vivid commentary on domestic violence, a topic that has personally impacted Rita’s family, fueling her mission to raise awareness through her music.
The song doesn’t hold back. With a straightforward, stripped-down blues approach, Rita creates a haunting sense of reality.
The lyrics and her vocal delivery invite listeners to consider what might be hidden behind closed doors—a reminder of the unseen struggles that some endure within the supposed safety of their homes.
Her delivery captures the essence of real-life blues: authentic, unapologetic, and urgent.
Shade of Blue goes beyond music; it’s an effort to make a difference. Rita has pledged 100% of her first-year streaming royalties to Laura’s House, a shelter and support organization for victims of domestic violence.
Based in Orange County, California, where Rita spent her childhood, Laura’s House has helped over 7,500 people since 1994. Through her talent and activism, Rita De Los Angeles brings attention to a crucial issue, making Shade of Blue a poignant tribute to resilience and solidarity.
