Recently, JUKEBOX:DC’s Koosta hit up Martin’s Lounge to check out up-and-coming (read: bonafide) star Reesa Renee as she showcased her new album Reelease to invited guests. To say that she’s on her way to the top wouldn’t even do her justice; you have to check out the music for yourself. Check out the above video which recaps the event (as well as shows Reesa speaking with JUKEBOX:DC on her passion, history, career and more) and them make sure you pickup Reelease (which you can do right here).

Check out a bio and a couple of visuals below…for more info on Reesa Renee, visit her official website.
