Eileen Torrez Releases Powerful New Single “The Kind”

Oakland-based singer-songwriter Eileen Torrez has released a new single titled “The Kind” from her latest album, Water + Salt. This track seamlessly blends R&B and hip-hop, featuring smooth beats and atmospheric layers of electro-pop ambiance that beautifully complement Torrez’s ethereal vocals. Her lyrics are sharp and poetic, demanding attention and inspiring hope.

“The Kind” was written during the height of the Trump presidency and finalized during the COVID-19 pandemic. Torrez describes the song as a “voice that needed to speak through me.” It speaks to themes of resilience, anti-capitalism, and women’s empowerment, all central to Torrez’s music.
Water + Salt is a testament to Torrez’s artistry and introspection, with each of the 12 tracks showcasing her signature blend of folk-pop and R&B. The album is a coming-of-age statement that offers hope and encouragement, even in the darkest times. “The Kind” is a powerful addition to the album and a call to action for listeners to stand up for justice and resist the destruction of our world.
