New Release - Optimistic Bliss By Ricky Persaud Jr - Is Simply Wickedly Cool (Bongo Boy Records)

Pensacola, Florida's Ebony D. Weatherspoon aka Raven Salve' is ready for success, and she wants you to know it. The 28-year-old Escambia, County, Southern Soul, Gospel and R&B singer is creating a strong buzz with the release of her hit single "Jelly Roll." The single is off her freshmen album "Lets Dance The Mix" released earlier, in February 2016.

Now she's planning on creating more than a strong buzz with the upcoming release of the EP "Metamorphosis," set for release by July 2018, and distributed by Tune Core. A single "Rock With Me" is scheduled for release by November 2017.

When asked why people should care about her music, Raven Salve' is quick to respond, "People should care about me and my music because I care about me and my music. How can I expect anyone else to care if I don't? My music expresses how much I'm encouraged by others and how I draw strength from them. Since God made me as a one of a kind person with my own distinctive approach, I have been set apart from other indie artists. My exceptional style accentuates my personality and that's what produces the uniqueness of the symphonic soul sound."

Singer/Songwriter Halie Loren Launches Kickstarter Campaign For New Album

Internationally acclaimed singer and independent recording artist Halie Loren is teaming with famed British music producer Troy Miller (Jamie Cullum, Gregory Porter, Becca Stevens) to release a Kickstarter-funded studio album project, aptly titled, "Halie Loren is making a new album." http://bit.ly/HalieLoren

Loren first achieved international prominence with three jazz albums charting at No. 1 on Billboard Japan's Top 20. The new Kickstarter campaign will enable her fans to hear her voice backed by top studio musicians with industry-leading production values.

The new album will be distributed in Asia by JVC Kenwood Victor Entertainment and throughout the rest of the world by Justin Time Records. "We are gratified to see so many of Halie's fans who have committed to over one-half of the goal in only the first week," said Justin Time's president, Jim West. "This recording is a big undertaking with top-notch participants, and we are proud to be one of the channels in releasing it around the world in 2018."

The pledge period ends on September 30, and backers have the opportunity to receive gifts such signed pre-release CDs, silk-screened T-shirts, Halie Loren original artwork, concerts in your home, and eco-themed options.

In addition to covers of popular songs and jazz standards, all nine of her previous albums have featured one or more of her own originals, fitting in so seamlessly that not all fans realized they were hers. The new project will turn the spotlight entirely on her original material, and will be her most personal artistic statement to date.

"I have long dreamed of making this album, and finally felt brave enough to make this leap because of the immense outpouring of support that my fans have shown for my original music," said Loren. "This project feels so true and necessary for me as an artist, and I'm beyond excited to share it with the world. I'm truly grateful to all the people who are supporting me and this music."

Contributions will go toward production, studio time, recording engineering, mixing, mastering, artwork and photography, and promotion. Go to http://bit.ly/HalieLoren to see a video from Halie Loren and learn more about the "Halie Loren is making a new album" Kickstarter campaign.

Wreckshop Nation Releases Big Moe 4 Ever, A Tribute Documentary To A Legendary Southern Hip Hop Artist

Wreckshop Nation, known at the time of Big Moe's breakthrough as "Wreckshop Records," has compiled footage that provides insight into the life of one of the biggest names in southern hip hop. The documentary includes appearances by famous hip hop artists, along with friends and family of Big Moe, whose real name is Kenneth Doniell Moore.

Even those who have not been exposed to Big Moe's music have more than likely heard his influence on the hip hop community through songs from other artists. Rappers like A$AP Rocky, Drake, and Young Thug have all drawn influence from the lyrical themes that Big Moe incorporated in many of his tracks. Big Moe is famously one who coined the term "rap-singing," a unique way of delivery that was essentially half rap and half singing.

Before receiving national acclaim for his breakthrough singles Mann! and Barre Baby, Big Moe was well-known as a prominent member of the Screwed Up Click, a Houston-based rap collective led by the famed DJ Screw. DJ Screw would take existing tracks and drastically lower the pitch and tempo. The end result was an ambient, chilled-out song that members of the Screwed Up Click would rap over. Big Moe was particularly well-known for improvising soulful hooks and melodies.

Special guests who appear in the documentary include Paul Wall, Tight Eyez, Lil Keke, and Chamillionaire among many others. Big Moe's friends and family also recount what he was like growing up, his rise to fame, and the impact he had on Houston's community.

The documentary serves not only as a memorial for one of the most driving forces in the history of Houston hip hop, but also displays the positive impact that he provided to those around him.
