NYC-Based Producer & Songwriter Ayhan Sahin Releases Fourth Single 'Love Everybody' from Award-Winning Album 'Pop'

To acknowledge National Sovereignty and Children's Day in Turkey - an annual celebration that takes place each April 23 - Young Pals Music has released the new single "Love Everybody." This marks the fourth release from the upcoming album "Pop," the first full-length namesake collection from Turkish-born, New York City-based songwriter & producer Ayhan Sahin.

The album "Pop" features 12+ diverse vocalists & musicians across a myriad of styles, including R&B & soul, dance, jazz, country and of course... pop. All songs are co-written and co-produced by Sahin with hit songwriter Bernadette O'Reilly, who has also worked for three decades in artist relations, management and song placement. She delivers the lead vocal for "Love Everybody," with an upbeat rap from King James.

"This is a joyous pure pop anthem that unites all colors, all religions and all cultures in a world that remains too divided and saddled with discrimination." Sahin says. "My partner Bernadette and I wanted to celebrate all the good things in life... our friends, family, pets and beloved places... for 4 fun-filled minutes."

The production for "Love Everybody" revolves around a children's choir that delivers the message of "L.O.V.E." in each chorus: "Well you can love many people, doesn't really matter how many people you love/Cause you can love everybody, every single body/Cause every single body needs love." The track is an ideal accompaniment for elementary school instruction as well as a call for unity in what is a contentious election year in the United States. And adding to its delicious pure pop template, it's no secret that the madcap song also draws inspiration from "Does Your Mother Know" by Swedish supergroup ABBA.

"Love Everybody" follows three previous singles from "Pop": First, in December, was "New Year's Eve At Home," celebrating the joy of cozying up with loved ones, with full-on country flavor, courtesy of vocalist Christi Bauerlee. In February, rowdy break-up song "Since You've Been Gone" was issued, sung by award-winning rock singer/songwriter and film/Broadway actor David Keeley. And in March came "Drink," about celebrating with a glass raised to the joys of life, love, family and all good things. Lead vocals for "Drink" are from veteran New York City-based singer & musician Denny Blake, whose credits include the Broadway musical "Movin' Out." All songs are available for purchase on iTunes.

The album "Pop" is the first namesake project for award-winning Turkish-born songwriter & producer Sahin. In April, he was awarded The Akademia Music Award as well as The Global Music Awards for Best Rock Song for "Pop" single "Drink." Another single from "Pop" — "Since You've Been Gone" sung by David Keeley was awarded for Best Rock Ballad by The Akademia. Meanwhile, he has achieved notoriety in a range of musical genres, from pop, rock and dance to musical theater, while working with Olivia Newton-John, Mexican superstar & Broadway actress Bianca Marroquín, Melba Moore, Phoebe Snow, Turkish superstars Sezen Aksu and Sertab Erener, Sandra Bernhard and five "American Idol" finalists. He has appeared on Univision, while his music has been featured on CNN, The Los Angeles Times, Playbill, MTV, Yahoo! Music and "The Wendy Williams Show"; and heralded by USA Today, New York magazine, MTV and The New York Daily News.

In 2007, Sahin founded independent label Young Pals Music, through which he has released a dozen albums in less than a decade, including projects for Universal Records' Karine Hannah, Chilean-American singer/songwriter Promis, MTV "Making the Band" finalist Adam Shenk, acclaimed Georgian singer/songwriter Tinatin, and Sony Turkey singer/songwriter/guitarist Emre Yilmaz.

All instrumentation for "Pop" was recorded live with renowned New York musicians, including Gene Blank on guitars, synth & keyboards from Rob Preuss, Mike Sorrentino on drums, and bassist Carras Paton. It was mastered at the legendary Sterling Sound.

The Easter Bunny is sometimes depicted with clothes. In legend, the creature carries colored eggs in his basket, candy, and sometimes also toys to the homes of children, and as such shows similarities to Santa Claus or the Christkind, as they both bring gifts to children on the night before their respective holidays. The custom was first mentioned in Georg Franck von Franckenau's De ovis paschalibus (About Easter Eggs) in 1682 referring to a German tradition of an Easter Hare bringing Easter eggs for the children.

Singer-Songwriter Junior Wright Releases EP '666'

Los-Angeles based singer-songwriter Junior Wright has released his second EP, titled 666. The multi-faceted artist delivers a track-list with plenty of stylistic disparity and polarized moods, fluctuating between classic pop and R&B sounds. The album can be heard here: https://juniorwright.lnk.to/666

While tracks such as 'Without you' and 'Runaway' take the album in a decidedly melancholic direction with mournful, vulnerable vocals punctuated by piano and violins, 'Beautiful Stranger' and 'Lovestruck' bring lighter feel-good vibes to the mix. 'Role Play' and the reappearance of Wright's single 'Blood' straddle lines between sensuality and anger, adding a touch of rock and roll to the EP's diverse sound.

Junior Wright is a multi-talented singer-songwriter, dancer, and actor originally from North Carolina, currently based in Los Angeles, California. He is known for his evolving style, dancing ability, and voice, as well as his creativity in songwriting and choreographing.

Welcome 2016 With Original Single 'Let's Spend This New Year's Eve At Home' from Burgeoning Country Act Christi Bauerlee

Just add champagne. The New Year's spirit is in full swing with an originally composed new single from New York City-based Young Pals Music. "Let's Spend This New Year's Eve At Home" celebrates the joys of cozying up with loved ones via full-on country flavor, courtesy of vocalist Christi Bauerlee.

The joyous uptempo radio-ready single proclaims: "Five private parties, four invitations three club choices, too many options/Got a revelation... one night only, private celebration, Let's have this one night alone/Spend this New Year's Eve at home."

Vocalist Bauerlee is renowned as a singer, actress and model, with appearances in such TV shows and films as "Something about Mary," "Days of Our Lives," "Lawless," "Jake 2.0," "Family Law," "Striptease" and "Gilmore Girls." She has performed on "Jay Leno," "The Late Night Show" and the Grand Ole Opry; and notably, is also known to much of America—without seeing her face—as the vocalist behind the theme song for CBS-TV's hit series "Family Law," where she sings a cover of the Edwin Starr classic "War."

As a contestant on the beloved "Star Search," Bauerlee was seen and heard on 250 syndicated TV stations around the country. In addition to being invited to record background vocals for Neil Young, solo achievements include the 2010 single and accompanying music video for the country-flavored "Show Me Who You Are."

"New Years Eve At Home" was produced and written by Ayhan Sahin—the founder & executive producer of Young Pals Music—and industry veteran Bernadette O'Reilly, with additional lyrics from award-winning Billboard writer & editor Chuck Taylor. Musicians comprise: Mike Sorrentino on drums, bassist Carras Paton, guitarist Boo Refiners, Rob Preuss on keyboards, Tom Gallaher on piano, and saxist Carras Paton. Jerri Bocchino and Keith Fluitt provide backing vocals.

Bauerlee and Sahin's initial meeting defines the essence of serendipity. Both were vacationing in Costa Rico, when she overheard him talking about his 15 years of songwriting and production over dinner at the next table. When he rose, she asked if he was Turkish—because she had previously hosted a TV show in Istanbul. They remained closely in touch, and when Bauerlee made it to New York from her Nashville base in 2015, their bond was etched... through the magic of music collaboration.

"New Year's" is the launch single from "Pop," the debut solo album from Sahin. The 10-track collective brings together 12+ diverse vocalists and musicians, blending organic instrumentation amid a myriad of styles, including R&B & soul, dance, jazz, country and of course... pop. All songs are written and co-produced with O'Reilly, who has also worked for three decades in artist relations, management and hit song placement.

The "Pop" album is due for release in first-quarter 2016.

MusicDishTV Review: Raquel Aurilia "Shattered"

Raquel Aurilia's, "Shattered" is a powerful, raw and vulnerable song. She sings of her intense heartbreak and the way love can strip us down until we are broken. Her country aesthetic and sounds are beautiful and a soft musical delight.

With the song coming straight out of Nashville it has all the makings of great country songs. A strong love story, an inner strength and the possibility that something is just around the corner.

The video clip is what makes this song pop the most however. Only focusing on Raquel's face and upper body, the zoomed in effect really demonstrates the way she is physically and emotionally shattered from this love.

At times in the video clip, her face has been hand drawn upon to look broken up and fragile. This only adds to the power of the up close shots and the simple backdrop. Raquel's heartbreak is the main focus. It isn't a fancy video clip. However, maybe that is the point. There is nothing fancy or exciting about heartbreak. It really does shatter the soul.

Aurilia has worked with Grammy award-winner Tony Papa (Willie Nelson, John Denver), Gardner Cole (Madonna, Jody Watley), Wade Martin (Art Kelly, 50 cent) and Grammy nominee Billy Smiley (WhiteHeart). Her latest release, "Long Way Home", became available 2015.

Drew Patrick's Debut Single "We Generate A Spark" Set To Ignite Dance Floors Friday

From the throbbing drums to the fresh vocals of newcomer Drew Patrick comes a dynamic mix of pop and electronic dance music destined to move the body, melt the heart, and set fire to the soul.



Drew Patrick's single "We Generate A Spark" will be released Friday at a private party and available that same day on iTunes, Amazon, and other online digital outlets.



"I'm so excited about this song. I want to be a positive energy for people and a spark of inspiration," he says, excitement bubbling from his enthusiasm.



At only 18 years old, the talented singer and songwriter has created an ambitious inferno of lyrics and song destined to connect with all ages. "It's a song for anyone who has ever been in love and felt the undeniable attraction that begins with a single spark," he says.



That spark rapidly spirals: "You come, my one desire. You lit my heart on fire ... The sparks ignite the shadows, no need to be afraid of the dark - we generate a spark ... You looked into my eyes, tore away my disguise ...."



Patrick describes his music as: "Very dancey ... Disney-esque."



It's like a blend of Justin Bieber's and Selena Gomez' youthful enthusiasm and current sounds mixed with the dynamic thrill of Patrick's idol, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.



Patrick's producer, Robert Eibach, of Del Oro Music in Studio City, says: "I had a great time working with Drew on his debut single, because not only is he a unique and talented young artist, but he has a fresh and upbeat approach to writing catchy and relatable songs."



Patrick began writing music at the age of 12. He moved from Florida to Los Angeles when he was 14, with his mom and younger sister, Valerie, in order to pursue his dreams of music and acting.



He began with musical theater and modeling, but also managed to combine his love of the arts with academics and participation in a variety of athletics.



"I played every sport. If I do something I'm going to do it well and enjoy it," he says.



After graduating, in June, from Brighton Hall, a private school for acting and music professionals in Burbank, he opted to defer the college education he plans to eventually pursue, and go after his dream of performing and recording his songs.



According to Patrick, collaborating with his producer, Eibach on "You Generate A Spark" has enabled him to grow as a musician and enhanced his abilities.



"I'm so comfortable working with Robert. He can sculpt my songs and he lets me have a lot of creativity," says Patrick.



Despite his youth, the blonde California teen writes and sings for all people of all ages.

"I relate to all people, because everyone has felt this, this undeniable attraction," he says. "It's a feeling not just I have felt. It's universal."
