Esteemed musicians such as Mungo Jerry and independents have collaborated to create an album directed at raising awareness about the global environment and raising money for the Born Free Foundation.

Woodstock, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/26/2021 -- Presently, there is arguably no greater global issue than the looming threat of climate change and environmental destruction. Now, some popular public figures are stepping up to make their voices heard on the matter, and hope to make a difference with their message.

An acclaimed group of over eighty musicians including Mungo Jerry and independents like Simon Kirke of Bad Company, Ric Sanders of Fairport Convention, Francis Rossi of Status Quo, and Ian Gillan of Deep Purple, among many others, have come together to produce and release fourteen incredible songs deliberating on the state of our shared planet. Secured for world-wide mainstream distribution, Minds Behind the Music was released on November 12th, 2021 on over 600 digital platforms in 167 countries.

This album, named Minds Behind the Music to highlight its intrinsic thoughtfulness, was brought together with some of the best modern indie talent. Each song features different input and talent from the participating musicians, and listeners will be sure to want to savour every word. Concurrently, the group has delivered a new book by the same name, Minds Behind the Music, on October 29th, 2021 in an effort to call greater attention to the issues at hand.

The proceeds of the project will importantly benefit the Born Free Foundation, an international wildlife charity that campaigns to conserve the planet and protect wild animals in their natural habitat. On every level, this project reflects the amazing potential for positive influence and virtue that music could have on the world.

Through the collaboration of these musicians is a masterpiece that brings together shared and competing thoughts about the recognized beauty and health of our Earth. Every contributor has come to the table to share their perspective in a way that is meaningful to them. When you start to listen to Minds Behind the Music, you open yourself up to a host of observations and lessons about problems such as climate change, pollution, and deforestation and how they relate to politics, religion, and philosophy from the creative minds of renowned artists. Lend an ear to the messages of Suzi Quatro, Don McLean, Kenney Jones, Marcella Detroit, Ian Anderson, Simon Kirke and many more.

The thought provoking nature of both the Minds Behind the Music album and book will leave you stunned and encouraged to turn a new leaf for the betterment of our ecosystems. New singles will be continually recorded and released by artist contributors in the coming months. For more information about the project and to access the music, you can visit the website here.

Acércate is the fourth single from Labán’s forthcoming Todos Somos Dueños de Aquí album.

Tijuana, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/05/2019 -- Acercate is the fourth single from Laban's forthcoming Todos Somos Duenos de Aqui album. A song about the pain of a complicated but short relationship that leaves the artist asking for more. A warm vocal performance, intriguing guitars and the passionate sound of the saxophone make this single the perfect choice for that chill moment.

The principle of respect for human life is part of the album's concept and a central idea. Therefore, each of the songs is associated with a vital part of the human body. The function of each part is related to the song's intention. Jazz, Pop, RnB, Funk and Rock are the vibes on this album. The lyrical content goes from protest against corruption, impunity, extreme income inequality and violence to frustration and existential crisis to love relationships and friendship. It is mostly written in Spanish but it has a few special tunes in English.

About Laban
Laban was born in the border city of Tijuana, Mexico. He started playing the violin at the age of 3, he's a passionate creator and music lover. Art, humanism, entrepreneurship and industrial engineering were part of his education. He currently shares a studio with an obstinate Cretan princess-named refugee cat and he also really likes apple juice. A small but amazingly cool tour will be announced after the album is released. Soon. Stay tuned!

Pittsburgh, PA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/29/2019 -- "I can hear you, when I'm not looking at you
I can see you, without staring at you
I can feel you, we don't have to touch
I'm a differently abled man and I matter so much"
–lyrics from "Differently Abled Man"

"(Christopher) is an amazing and kind human being. People have written dissertations on him, his one therapist named her baby after him, and many of his therapists and teachers are still in his life today. But because he cannot socially interact, it makes it hard for him to make friends. You may think he isn't paying attention, but he understands every word you say, he can hear you, he sees you, he just can't verbally express it. Imagine how frustrating and lonely this can be, this is his life, everyday. My very intelligent son, stuck in this shell we call Autism. If he was able to tell us how he feels and express himself to me and to the world, I thought, what would he say? So one day I began to write…..and I wrote a song for my son." – Lisa Satira Brozek on her son and inspiration for "Differently Abled Man," Christopher Brozek

When local Pittsburgh mom Lisa Satira Brozek put pen to paper to write a touching tribute to her son, Christopher, who has Autism, she had no idea that her heart-felt words would become a worldwide music release. Enter Pittsburgh veteran musician and Top 20 iTunes charting artist, John Vento. John, along with Ron "Moondog" Esser, is a founder of Band Together Pittsburgh, a non-profit that raises awareness for those with autism, and engages them through music programs.

Vento suggested Pittsburgh rock royalty, David Granati for production and guitar duties. Joining David Granati in the studio was his brother, and another member of Pittsburgh's version of The Wrecking Crew, Hermie Granati (keyboards.) Brother and sister, Christopher Brozek (drums) and Caitlin Nicole (vocals) rounded out the recording line-up. Caitlin, who had always been Christopher's voice, growing up, sang the melody written by family friend, Kelsey Roche.

"Differently Abled Man" will help raise awareness for those on the Autism Spectrum, with a portion of the proceeds going to the organization. The song will have its official launch at the Pittsburgh Blues and Roots Festival on July 27th and 28th, at the Syria Shrine Center. The single will be available in digital and physical CDs around the world through MTS Records.

Watch the music video at https://youtu.be/gWJkH9Fs3XM.

"I have watched my son, Christopher struggle on a daily basis with communication," said Lisa Satira Brozek. "He has trouble expressing himself and putting words into a sentence. He generally needs time to process information that he hears and then also needs time to respond. This can be very frustrating for him, not being able to put his thoughts into a complete sentence."

About Band Together Pittsburgh
The purpose of Band Together Pittsburgh (a recognized 501 (c) 3 non profit organization) is to employ the power of music to engage youth on the autism spectrum and their families. Music has the proven capacity to enhance social interactions, build and develop communication skills, and improve motor/sensory, emotional, and academic/cognitive functioning. PLUS it's FUN!

"No Genre," to be released August 13th 2019, is mainly EDM, Future Bass & Trap music mixed with Reggae, Rap and Pop Vocals.

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/16/2019 -- DJ Dirty Vibezs brings his world renown sound to an album with no boundaries. DJ Dirty Vibezs' busy schedule DJing in NYC, at some of their most prominent clubs, has only polished his talent. His amazing knowledge and combination of genres and styles can be heard in many of the City's hottest clubs. For a taste of some of that energy he has mixes online for listeners eager to hear what gets the dance floor in constant motion: https://www.dirtyvibezs.com/mixes.

Being boundless expands beyond sonics: Billboard Magazine recently discovered that EDM started in Jamaica, in the form of Dub and sound systems. Dub music is still very relevant since most of Skrillex's music includes samples from Dub music. This is why Dirty Vibezs believes the concept and title of his new 'NO GENRE' album will bring EDM music home to its roots. On 'NO GENRE' he enlists the help of Kodat, Nevada's rising star in EDM/House and Trap. Their relationship began towards the end of 2018 through direct messages on Instagram, sharing tracks back and forth and working on numerous collaborations. Kodat, who dropped out of college to pursue music, dove in head first and dedicated his life to sharpening his craft.

'NO GENRE,' set to be released August 13th 2019, is mainly EDM, Future Bass & Trap music mixed with Reggae, Rap and Pop Vocals. If fans of music were intrigued by the combination of Country and Rap on the hit, 'Old Town Road,' then they should prepare to unravel another musical mystery with 'NO GENRE.' It is an amalgamation of everything exciting in dance music.

Nashville, TN -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/12/2019 -- In April 2018, Jeremy Parsons released his imaginative music video for "Why Is the Bluebird Blue."

The song is taken from the album, "Things I Need to Say."

"This song is very important to me as it was written and made in a very rough time in my life," says Parsons. "Everything felt out of my control and unstable. It was nice to be able to write the bright side from a dark and realistic perspective. It was important to me that the video reflect that too. P.J. Schenkel, as always, was able to use his genius to perfectly bring that to life. You never know what's going to happen in life or even where the day might go but you can always get through it on your feet and make it work. I hope this video makes you laugh and smile as much as we all did when we were making it."

P.J. Schenkel added, "Sometimes in the grind you forget how lucky of a person you are; this project absolutely sent me a reminder. I always enjoy being creative, but I'll always love being creative with Mr. Jeremy Parsons. We've been working together for almost 10 years now, and this was the perfect project to describe how we do [it]. We worked hard for this video, but it was hilarious and fun the entire way through.

Star Com Media is committed to bringing back the days when an artist could simply walk into a station and leave their music with a DJ. If the DJ liked what he heard, he'd play it and his listeners would decide if the song was a keeper. That is 'Pure radio', not this BS, that if you aren't in the top 20 your music never gets airplay."

SCMTV, launched on September 25th, has already proven that it is the NEW MTV and CMT of today.
