She says, \u201cI heard \u2018In The Air Tonight\u2019 as a child, and from day one, it was a dream of mine to record a cover version of it.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>I was a child musician and singer. There is just something about it, and I waited for the right time to do it! When I spoke with Vernon Reid about playing on this track, he said that he also has a special memory associated with it and having him on guitar on the track is an honor!&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the track, Vix demonstrates she has a wonderful voice, sultry, deep, and powerful. The track is well suited to her style because she manages to get power and emotion behind her vocal lines. Reid enhances the track with his masterful guitar, starting with a dynamic intro harmonizing with the subtle vocals, and at other times, majestically soaring out from the background.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It is always good when an artist takes an original track, puts their own twist on it, yet remains faithful to the essence of the original and this is what Vix has achieved here. The track is undeniably Collins yet also undeniably interpreted singularly by Vix. While the drumming on the original could only be Mr Collins, Vix does a good job of bringing her own musculature to the rhythm. She brings \u2018In The Air Tonight\u2019 into current relevance, making it as relevant now as when it was first released.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"In the Air Tonight\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OR82NENCpAM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Jenn.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Jenn.jpg 800w, https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Jenn-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Jenn-768x439.jpg 768w, https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Jenn-330x190.jpg 330w, https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Jenn-105x60.jpg 105w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"909\" src=\"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vernon.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vernon.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vernon-264x300.jpeg 264w, https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vernon-768x873.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vernon-53x60.jpeg 53w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jenn Vix\u00a0is a multi-instrumentalist from Rhode Island, who plays bass, lead guitar, drums, and sings.
