Inspirational Keyboardist Isha Love Pours "Jars Of Waters" With New Solo Piano Release

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=177364

Los Angeles - When the fingers of Isha Love glide across the piano, a dazzling cascade of melody rushes forth spraying the atmosphere like the mist from a waterfall. "Jars of Waters," her new offering, is a fluid tapestry of 14 luscious piano solos that pour sweet liquid libations for the soul. With ten gospel-tinged jazz originals and four unique interpretations of traditional spiritual hymns, Isha Love's "Jars of Waters" is a tall refreshing glass to drink from.

A classically trained pianist, Isha Love emerges on the music scene as a source of "living water." With "Jars of Waters," Isha hopes to share and spread ever-abundant love. The inspirational solo performances on the CD transcend genres, riding the waves of jazz, classical, gospel, worship and pop. Whether she is surfing across the keys, like a boogie board bouncing above the ocean or rafting quietly down the river's bank, tickling the ivories like a paddle propelling the current, her compositions shower light and shimmer with the presence of love.

Isha reveals that she only composes when she feels led by the Spirit. In fact, each track from "Jars of Waters" emerged from a series of compelling visions she believes God used to guide her musical journey. Song titles like "Rain On Me," "I've Got Peace Like a River," "There is a Fountain," "Living Water," and the title track "Jars of Waters" reveal her personal plunge to sacred depths.

"One day as I was praying," Isha reveals, "I saw a large field with hundreds upon hundreds of empty jars. God stood at the beginning of the long line and was holding a pitcher. It contained water and God was pouring the water into the jars. He explained that the many jars represented the songs that I have within me, that are waiting to be filled – and told me that the water that fills the jars are His Spirit. During the vision, God explained that when the jars are filled with Living Water, each becomes a completed song anointed by Him. Each song is one of these 'jars of waters."

Growing up in South Korea, Isha began playing piano in kindergarten. In high school, she realized that music was her life's calling. Though proficient in classical music, she gravitated towards jazz and moved to the U.S. to attend the Berklee College of Music in Boston as a jazz and piano performance major. During that time, a friend introduced her to a church whose congregation was largely Jamaican and Isha began playing gospel music for their weekly services. Isha then started playing more worship services at numerous African American churches, where she developed a unique jazz/gospel style. She continues performing at many different churches and venues to this day.

Upon moving to Los Angeles to pursue her career, she quickly became a versatile full time session player and performance artist and booked gigs for TV commercials for companies like Honda and Nike. Andrea Crouch, Kim Burrell, Frank McComb, Lisa McClendon and the female contemporary urban jazz collective Jazz In Pink, featuring keyboardist Gail Jhonson and violinist Karen Briggs, are just a few of the talents she has shared the stage with.

Isha Love's "Jars of Waters" is a beautiful baptism of healing sound and wonder. Take a dive and receive holy refreshment at www.IshaLove.com and on iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/jars-of-waters/id915192471 and at CD Baby at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/ishalove .

Comedy Singer Red Peters New Duet With Todd Rundgren

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=177292

In late 2012, as Red Peters was busy monitoring his social media sites, he began receiving messages from fans in various cities about one of his most beloved songs. At shows across America, songwriter and record producer, Todd Rundgren and his band had been performing Red’s signature song "Blow Me (You Hardly Even Know Me)".

Peters wrote and recorded the original "Blow Me" with the Babe Marino Orchestra in the summer of 1984. Initially released as a 45 rpm single, it became a cult favorite in jukeboxes across America and a staple on underground FM radio.

Since Red had recently begun working on an album concept that involved collaborating with other artists, he approached Rundgren and asked if he would like to sing a duet of the song to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the original recording.

Rundgren ("Hello It’s Me", "I Saw The Light", "Bang The Drum All The Day") agreed, and over the next several months, after settling on a suitable musical direction and a new big band arrangement by producer, Ed Grenga, each artist recorded their vocals virtually- Rundgren in Hawaii and Peters in Boston.

The result was a new, lively spoken introduction, and a fresh and classic interpretation of the song which also features background vocals from three of the original surviving members of the Alan Pinchloaf Singers.

NYC illustrator, Timothy Shamey reprises his talents, as he has on many of Red’s music projects, creating quintessential caricatures of both performers for the cover art.

The song, will be released September 9, 2014 on Ball Bag Records. It will be available in four versions: one with the spoken intro, one without, and both bleeped. It can be downloaded wherever fine music is sold, including iTunes, amazon, etc.

1. Blow Me (You Hardly Even Know Me) 2:50
2. Blow Me (You Hardly Even Know Me) w/spoken intro 3:14
3. Blow Me (You Hardly Even Know Me) bleeped 2:50
4. Blow Me (You Hardly Even Know Me) w/spoken intro bleeped

Worldwide Groove Corporation Get Political About GMOs With Newest Dubstep Release

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=177294

Nashville, TN, USA September 2014 - Worldwide Groove Corporation, Nashville’s electronic music power duo, have very strong opinions about the lack of transparency with genetically modified ingredients in the American food supply, and they haven’t held any punches in their newest release “The Legend of the Fall”. Steeped in metaphor, this dark and haunting track depicts the fall of mankind at the hands of lunatics who refuse to rectify their “impunity, collusion, and control”.

“This affects everyone. Whether you’re gay or straight, Christian or Muslim, Conservative or Liberal... we ALL eat, so this is an issue that truly concerns every single person,” says Ellen Tift, songwriter and arranger for Worldwide Groove Corporation. “This song is one way I can creatively channel my indignation over the situation and hopefully increase public awareness about what we are all consuming unawares.”

When asked what began such intense outrage over this topic, Ellen named the two most influential documentaries as “Food, Inc.” and “Genetic Roulette” as well as countless articles and studies about the health risks associated with consuming genetically modified foods and the corruption in the food industry. She encourages anyone who cares about what they put into their and their family’s bodies to educate themselves and vote with their purchases at grocery stores and restaurants.

“Ellen is very passionate about this issue, as am I, and we felt that the topic matter justified a darker more gritty production approach for this track,” said Kurt Goebel, programmer and producer for Worldwide Groove Corporation. “Although it’s not our typical approach, we both agreed that a dubstep bassline was appropriate for this. We balanced it out with brighter synths up high to keep up the energy.”

“The Legend of the Fall” is the third release in Worldwide Groove Corporation’s “Year of the Groove” which began in July of 2014. WGC have publicly announced that they will put out one new electronic chillout music release a month for at least a year. Their original songs offer up individual instrumental stems for remixers, which are often offered as a free download to mailing list members. Sign up at http://www.worldwidegroovecorp.com/mailing-list/

The official release date for The Legend of the Fall is September 9, 2014.

ABOUT WGC: Worldwide Groove Corporation are Kurt Goebel and Ellen Tift, specializing in electronic pop and downtempo chillout music production, string arranging, and remixes. Their music has been featured on national television, in independent films, and used in advertising campaigns in the U.S. and Europe.

X.O.C Announces The Release Of His Alt-R&B Debut EP ‘TheBreakUp

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=177443

X.O.C announces the release of his alt-R&B debut EP ‘TheBreakUp’, available as a FREE download this October

X.O.C, the Cleveland, Ohio based composer, producer and musician, has today announced the release of his alt-R&B debut EP ‘TheBreakUp’, available as a FREE download from October 8 via his website, XOCtheOX.com.

X.O.C (pronounced ZAH-ck), was inspired to write the 4-track EP after going through a tumultuous relationship, and recorded it in isolation in his home studio. “Writing the music for this EP has been incredibly therapeutic for me, and although I don’t want to pigeonhole my music as just relationship oriented, I felt that this story needed to be told,” X.O.C states.

X.O.C is a pure alternative R&B vocalist and sings raw lyrics that are centered on heartbreak combined with moody, rhythmic, and experimental fusions, making the EP meaningful and sincere, yet dark at times as the EP title suggests.

With a sound all of his own, X.O.C cites Prince, Michael Jackson, and Timbaland as his biggest musical influences. “They just know how to make you feel, and of course, make you move,” X.O.C declares.
You can listen and download the first single ‘Get Along’ right now on X.O.C’s official website and Soundcloud page. ‘TheBreakUp’ EP will be available to download for FREE on October 8, 2014.

Fifteen Year-old Pop Prodigy, Cecilia Gault, Releases Exquisite Debut EP

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=177376

Fifteen year-old pop prodigy, Cecilia Gault, releases exquisite debut EP, Beast, a sassy, stylish, and sage commentary on love relationships and being a young girl coming up in a cosmopolitan city.

Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, and published social justice writer, Cecilia Gault is just 15 years old, but she is already making a profound impression in the entertainment business. Cecilia has been praised by New York Times music critic Vivien Schweitzer, and shared the stage with icons such as Patti Smith and Marshall Crenshaw. As an actress, she’s appeared on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and How to Make It in America, and on stage in Opera Omnia’s “Giasone.” Now, she releases her masterful debut EP, Beast, a sassy, stylish, and sage commentary on love relationships and being a young girl coming up in a cosmopolitan city. “I feel like being a young girl in New York City you have to be a beast to survive,” Cecilia says.

Beast is a bold, euphoric, and profound release. Musically, it traverses alt-rock, urban, EDM, hints of jazz and blues, and sleek modern pop. Cecilia counts as influences Bob Dylan, Lykke Li, Adele, James Blake, Tom Odell, The 1975, FKA Twigs, Banks, and The Neighbourhood. Her EP features a song cycle that begins with the dizzy joy of newfound love and chronicles the relationship’s demise and the mourning of love lost. Beast also, as mentioned, explores with panache what it means to be a young girl growing up in the concrete jungle of New York City.

The EP’s single, “Red Mustang,” is smoky and haunting, an infectious mix of smoldering vocals and playful cultural commentary. “I had a chance to spend a day with a super model, and I wrote that song imagining what it was like to have everything at your fingertips,” Cecilia says. “It’s definitely a celebratory, girl power song.” The song’s accompanying video perfectly encapsulates the song’s perspective by integrating quirky humor into luxury lifestyle imagery.” “Red Mustang” is revisited later on the EP as a transcendent dub. Elsewhere Cecilia covers euphoric dancey pop (“Velocity”) and mesmerizing slow-burn ballads (“Pills” and “Raining”).

Cecilia wrote the songs herself and plays piano on the album. She’s also an astounding vocalist, with an expansive range, sizzling nuanced phrasing, and a sophisticatedly accessible melodic sense.

Cecilia describes her background as being “a product of diversity and mixed-cultures in love and harmony.” Growing up in a bicultural household—Irish and Japanese—she was exposed to a diverse array of traditions and this openness also informed the music she was exposed to. Cecilia enjoyed attending operas and pop-rock concerts with her parents. At the young age of 7, her parents signed her up for singing lessons with the hopes that music would ease her out of being so shy. At the same time, she began playing piano. By 11, she began writing songs. Currently, Cecilia is a junior at a Manhattan performing arts school, juggling academics with her professional music career.
