Jennifer Edison Brings the Detroit 'Motown' Soul to the 'Get Crunk' Streets of Atlanta This Fall with Her Multidimensional New Album
Bringing together every facet of R&B music from soul to hip hop to pop and everything in between, Jennifer Edison's new album "A Thousand Wings" is what many are calling "the real deal." This singer, songwriter and producer is sure to break ground with her album slated for release this fall right here in Atlanta by her independent label The Song of Songs Records.
 Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) -- The Detroit-based singer-songwriter and producer, Jennifer Edison, will release her new album "A Thousand Wings" in Atlanta, GA this fall. The album was produced by herself and her older brother Charles Edison and also features songs by Houston-based producer Derrick "Platinum Child" Hines.
"It's all about family," Jennifer says. "But don't get me wrong, if my brother wasn't good he wouldn't be producing on my album just because he's family. It's just such an amazing blessing to have someone so talented be right here in the family. We are like the perfect team with the craziest chemistry and I think that the album definitely reflects that."
"A Thousand Wings" is a journey from Jennifer Edison, one that takes its listeners through the good, the bad and the ugly of life and relationships using a dynamic range of melodies both musically and vocally. She explores the depths of R&B music with elements of Pop, and Hip-Hop and meticulously combines them together to form her classic R&B sound. The first single to be released, I'm Out, has that "Crunk-n-B" feel that combines a Hip Hop beat with R&B vocals and is already in Atlanta clubs and hitting radio soon. The sweet harmonies of the tear-jerking Acapella track, No Matter What, caps off the album and pays special tribute to the soldiers and all of the heroes of the world inspiring those who go through trying times to keep fighting and never give up no matter what.
"Inspiration is so important to me and paying tribute to those that inspire me and millions of others all around the world is simply an honor," Jennifer affirms. "That's what I try to do with my music. I want to give back inspiration to the world the way the people of the world have inspired me, from musicians to doctors, fireman, soldiers, teachers and everyone out there striving to make a difference in this world. I want to inspire people with my music and make a difference in the lives of those that hear it."
"A Thousand Wings" is Jennifer's second CD, following up on her debut internet only release "JLE That's Me". The strong reviews and encouragement from the first CD provided the impetus for the even more ambitious follow-up.
"I'm definitely ready to take it to that next level. I love what I do and my greatest joy would be to share it with the world."
About The Song of Songs Records:
The Song of Songs Records is an independent record label based in Detroit, Michigan specializing in the release of R&B and Pop artists. The Song of Songs will release Jennifer's new album in stores in Atlanta this fall. For more information and updates visit her website at www.JenniferEdison.com.

Jake Coco Set To Perform At The Beauty Of California Awards Ceremony In Celebration Of THe Miss California Pageant
 (PRWEB) -- Jake Coco, the hot young musical genius that first took Hollywood by storm earlier this year at the “Children Uniting Nations Oscar Viewing Party”, where he brought the house down in front of a star studded audience that included guests such as Babyface Edmonds, Paula Abdul, Missy Elliott, Wyclef Jean, Wesley Snipes, Chris Tucker, Chaka Khan, Dean Cain, Pairs Hilton, and Ruben Studdard, is set to perform tracks from his highly anticipated debut album “Broken Hearts & Fairy Tales” at the Beauty of California Awards Ceremony in celebration of the Miss California pageant September 10, 2005.
The Beauty of California embodies the unique landscape, distinct business, progressive ideas, and the beautiful spirit of the people of California! The Miss California pageant is part of Donald Trump's Miss Universe Origination.
With influences like Elvis Costello, Elton John, Billy Joel, James Taylor and Butch Walker, it's no wonder why the gifted musician, singer, and songwriter is taking the music industry by storm. With his soulful eyes, refreshing boy next-door looks, and passionate voice that sounds well beyond his twenty one years, it's no wonder the Miss California Organization contacted him to perform.
“It’s pretty much every guy's dream to perform a talent that he is good at, for a large group of beautiful woman,” says Jake Coco about the Beauty of California event. “It is a great privilege to be asked, I only hope the Californian delegates like my music”
This Cleveland born singer/songwriter not only wrote and produced every song on “Broken Hearts & Fairy Tales,” Jake also played all instruments on the album and can play twenty-seven instruments by ear. “Broken Hearts & Fairy Tales”, is a raw and unfiltered view of the lessons Jake has learned in life, thus far. With the complexity of many different relationships that have come and gone over time, including girlfriends, best friends and his nonexistent biological father, Jake’s music is not only touching and heartfelt, it’s descriptive and true to the human emotion.
Jake Coco recently completed filming the music video for the first single “Graceland” off the “Broken Hearts and Fairy Tales” album. “Shooting the Graceland music video was the coolest experience,” says Jake Coco. “The energy level was so high, we filmed almost non-stop for three days, had over one hundred and twenty extras in a club with no A/C, lost and found a twenty thousand dollar necklace that was on loan, and lost power in the middle of filming. I loved every minute of it. I even got some of the press that was there to cover the shoot into the video,” .The Graceland music video will feature cameos by Jake’s celebrity friends Trevor Pennick from the boy band “O-Town”, Tim Kennedy for the music group “All 4 One”, actor Sam Sarpong form the MTV show “Yo Mamma”, actress Nzinga Blake form the upcoming Showtime series “Barbershop”, actress Lauren C. Mayhew from the upcoming film “American Pie 4”, and Tara Gerard winner of the fox reality show “Paradise Hotel” (you can view the entire Graceland music video at www.jakecoco.com)

Detroit Rock Band Jackie Blue to Help Hurricane Katrina victims
Jackie Blue, a rock band based in Detroit and well known for their community work, has partnered with CDBaby.com and the American Red Cross to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. All profits from the sale of its CDs purchased through CDBaby.com will go to the American Red Cross.
(PRWEB) -- Jackie Blue, a rock band based in Detroit and well known for their community work, has partnered with CDBaby.com and the American Red Cross to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. All profits from the sale of our CDs purchased through CDBaby.com will go to the American Red Cross.
Tom Libertiny, Jackie Blue's bass player and a native of Florida, understands all too well what the people are going through--from the first hit of Katrina in Florida to the devastation along the coast of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. "Growing up in Florida, I was aware of the damage caused by hurricanes especially by the flooding water, but I've never seen anything like what we're now witnessing."
He went on to say that, "while communicating with friends about ways to help the survivors of Katrina, one suggested that our song 'City Nights' seemed an appropriate anthem for New Orleans: Carrie's vocals reflect the heartbreak of people lost in the storm and its aftermath while the music reflects the hope for a bright future for the people and city.
At the same time, he happened to receive an E-mail from Derek Sivers, the founder of CDBaby.com (online music store) offering an easy method for musicians to donate the proceeds from selling their CDs on CDBaby.com to the American Red Cross. This sealed the deal for the band and now the profits that would normally go to Jackie Blue will instead go directly to the American Red Cross to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
To all of the people of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, we dedicate our song "City Nights" to you.
