On November 10, rising LA-based rocker and fashion maven Miss Velvet unveils her brand new album, Traveler, on which she worked with producer Esjay Jones.
With her new full-length project, Miss Velvet timestamps a great period of change and growth, signified first by her move to Los Angeles not too long ago, and continued via the journey in music, motherhood, and love that she’s been on in the years since. Summarizing the record, she wrote the following:“I landed in Los Angeles two years ago after a lifetime in New York City. The throws of the pandemic and a heartbreaking band breakup looming large in my rearview mirror I remember driving up the PCH and feeling all that become more distant with each mile driven, and in front of me was a new life, one of motherhood and of new beginnings with my soulmate. With all that comes with building a new life, and despite the obstacles that one faces when a musical journey ends unceremoniously, my love for making music and performing never waned and fortuitously, through a maze of relationships old and new I was introduced to Esjay Jones, a dynamite producer and songwriter. We immediately hit it off and soon after, in the midst of raising my infant daughter and building my new life out west, we wrote and recorded the album Traveler, a musical diary that will forever represent those days of new love, new life and new horizons.”Earlier this year, Miss Velvet introduced the Traveler LP and kicked off her new era with the release of two singles — “Long Way Home” and “Zumirez.” Alongside the record’s full release, she will additionally share a brand new music video for the record’s focus track, “Traveler,” directed by Gus Black.
The track is described as such: “‘Traveler’ is a song about finding the courage to move beyond loss, limitation and life’s disappointments to find a new path where freedom and possibility lie, and then having the faith to follow it. ‘I’m a traveler of possibilities.'”

Channeling the giants of classic rock with her powerhouse vocals and distinctive eye catching style, rising LA based rocker and fashion maven Miss Velvet is poised to take the rock and roll world by storm . No stranger to the stage, Miss Velvet has toured and performed in over 100 cities across 5 continents, including opening a world tour for the iconic George Clinton – who calls her voice “the definition of rock n roll.” George Clinton isn’t the only one singing Miss Velvet’s praises, with numerous music critics comparing her bold vocals and electrifying performances to the likes of Mick Jagger, Janis Joplin, and Robert Plant. Additionally, her previous releases (with her band, Miss Velvet & The Blue Wolf) have garnered two Top 20 hits on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart.
Entering a new era of self, Miss Velvet’s forthcoming solo album blurs the lines between the roles of being a rock star, an artistic explorer, and a young mother – resulting in a potent rock escapade that’s both raw and multifaceted. After moving from her native New York City to sunny Los Angeles, Miss Velvet connected with acclaimed rock producer Esjay Jones. The duo sparked a deep connection and explored themes of conditional and unconditional love, loss, and sex with a distinct focus on their shared love of classic rock music. Utilizing a respectful nod to that visceral, retro rock sound and fusing that energy with modern color, a forceful and earnest potency can be felt in every guitar riff and careening chorus of the album’s ten song journey – opening a portal for rock lovers and listeners across generations to find a home in the world the record creates. With smashing urgency and a dedication to vibrant honesty, Miss Velvet’s album is not only a personal journey but a revelation of modern femininity as she refocuses the lens through which the world views women in rock music. With an urgent rock sound pulsing through her new LP, 2023 is poised to be a powerful year for Miss Velvet as she brings us back to the golden era of classic rock.
