      <title>Hip Hop Lyricist Tigers Craving Stars Releases First Album, "Inside Out"</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 01/07/2015 --  California hip hop artist Tigers Craving Stars has released his long-awaited debut album titled, "Inside Out." A project that was years in the making, "Inside Out" is a fairly expressive album that sheds light on Tigers Craving Stars&apos; passion for music while highlighting the ins-and-outs of his life experiences. The album features 14-tracks including the single, "Missouri Loves Company" and is now available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Google Play and other online music retailers.

Produced by Brainfire Technology and mastered by Jesse Barrera (The JB Cave), "Inside Out," features an assembly of talented vocalists and artists from across the country.

      <title>Amy Kress Announces Release Date for "Secret Music" Album</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 12/16/2014 --  With the recently released, "Numb" single under her belt, Colorado area singer and songwriter Amy Kress has announced the official release date for her much anticipated first album, "Secret Music." A exceptionally talented vocalist and overall musician, Amy&apos;s new project invites you to experience part of her life&apos;s journey presented through a collection of 14 songs that touch on love, happiness and inspiration. "Secret Music," debuts on Tuesday, January 13th and will be available at all major music outlets including iTunes, Amazon and Spotify. You can pre-order the album now on iTunes and receive the previously released singles for free at: <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://buff.ly/1AAhX8H" href="http://buff.ly/1AAhX8H">http://buff.ly/1AAhX8H</a><br />
<br />
Produced by The Spot Studios (Denver, CO), "Secret Music" explores much of Amy&apos;s creativity as she wrote the album and was directly involved in its production. "The Secret Music refers to the fact that it was largely written without me playing it for friends or family," said Amy. "Many friends didn&apos;t even know I was recording or if they did it was just thought of as a quirky hobby of mine."<br />
<br />
Currently, Kress - who has been busy promoting the album with several performance dates throughout the city - is continuing to serve as an inspiration for others by pursuing her dream, in spite of her ongoing battle with breast cancer. She dedicates time to blog about her journey on CaringBridge.com and her own website, and is a voice for others in her community. The concept of Secret Music also served as a form of healing and therapy for Kress. <br />
<br />
With four previously released singles from the album and a seemingly effortless live performance at Herman&apos;s Hideaway of her second single, "The Crush" (check it out at <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://buff.ly/1swUyGF" href="http://buff.ly/1swUyGF">http://buff.ly/1swUyGF</a>), Amy Kress has created quite a stir. She has received glowing reviews noting her incredibly enticing voice and the heart-felt messages embedded within her music. A recent review from Tim Wenger of Colorado Music Buzz states, "... I was treated to an unusually personal and eccentric collection of songs that exposed the heart of a woman exploring mindful expression without boundary. Her voice is soft, but maintains authority over the backing music. The music itself varies greatly from track to track - this is not one of those records where every song sounds the same."<br />
<br />
About Amy Kress<br />
"The healer told me that I wasn&apos;t fulfilling what my soul needed. I was, in her words, a flower in the desert that had no water. I was starving for something to feed my soul and I needed to make a change. I needed to express myself. I needed to create and I needed to put it out there. The most important thing she said to me is that not everyone is ready to hear what I have to put out there. Don&apos;t worry about it. The people that are, are the ones I&apos;m playing for." – Amy Kress<br />
<br />
Life is what happens between the lines and at times it&apos;s hard to handle much less share with others. All of the great artists manage to bridge this gap though and Amy Kress is one of the few with this unique gift. Kress is the unlikely star; the mother, the wife, the survivor, and her story is an inspiring one.<br />

      <title>Gypsy Funk Band Come Back Alice Release New "Coraline" Single and Music Video</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 12/03/2014 --  With the emergence of new sounds and musical styles fueling the industry, the uniquely crafted musical contributions from Southern gypsy funk band Come Back Alice have grabbed the attention of both music enthusiasts and industry personnel. The Florida based band has announced the release of their latest single, "Coraline," - a wonderful fusion of the lead singer&apos;s handsomely sultry vocals along with the live fiddle and the band&apos;s exceptional rhythmic contributions make "Coraline" a fan favorite. The single is now available at <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="ComeBackAlice.com" href="http://ComeBackAlice.com">ComeBackAlice.com</a><br />
<br />
Come Back Alice consists of band members Tony Tyler (lead vocalist/guitar), Dani Jaye (vocals, violin, guitar), John Werner (bass) and Yral Morris (drums), all of which bring their own diverse style to the band. An official music video for "Coraline" was filmed in Florida by Lightwave Media and features an almost fairy-tale themed visual of Coraline sweeping through various scenes, seemingly following a path of destined destruction. The video captures its antagonist trying to lure Coraline with unsuspecting obstacles and she tries to rob Coraline of her beauty. In the lyrics, Tony Tyler, the band&apos;s lead vocalist warns, "Coraline this place can be unkind, pull you low or push you high."<br />
<br />
"Coraline represents the two sides that we all seem to posses," said Tyler. "Everyone can relate to being pushed and pulled in one one way or another -- we all have our moments, ups and downs."<br />
<br />
Come Back Alice&apos;s non-conforming musical style paired with their energetic live performances have made them one of the most popular and sought-after bands in the area. With a musical style that&apos;s truly their own, highlighting an exceptional mix of soulful vocals, melodic guitars, gypsy violin and funky bass &amp; drums, the band&apos;s known for their ability to stand out. The music video for "Coraline," is available on YouTube at: <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://buff.ly/1uLKuH8" href="http://buff.ly/1uLKuH8">http://buff.ly/1uLKuH8</a><br />
<br />

They&apos;ve played such venues as: Suwannee Hulaween and Suwannee Springfest, Ribfest, Earthdance, Whigfest, Orange Blossom Jamboree, Bands on the Sand, WMNF Tropical Heatwave, Thunder by the Bay, Van Wezel, State Theatre, House of Blues in Downtown Disney, Dunedin Marti Gras, Giving Hunger the Blues and The Funky Biscuit in Boca Raton among many others.<br />
<br />
With recent performances at Bear Creek Festival in North Florida and Skipper&apos;s Smokehouse in Tampa, Come Back Alice is hitting the road for another series of performances at The Big House in Macon, Georgia, opening for Col. Bruce Hampton on Friday, December 5th and in St.Petersburg, Florida at Downtown River Jam on Saturday, December 6th and headlining at Jannus Landing on Saturday, December 20th. The band is also gearing up for the national release of their new album which is slated to debut this spring.<br />
<br />
About Come Back Alice<br />
Structured largely from improvisational influences, the band found their unique sound by allowing each member to artistically express their individual style(s).

      <title>Highly Anticipated Beautiful Births Informative Documentary Is Now Available on DVD</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 11/19/2014 --  Emerging filmmaker Jacqui Blue has announced the official release of her highly anticipated documentary film, "Beautiful Births." With the recent success of the film&apos;s premiere screenings this summer, Beautiful Births is quickly unfolding into a national discussion about the natural birthing process. Several topics in the film highlight common misconceptions about natural birth and offer an honest platform that explores the Midwifery Model of Care. The Beautiful Births documentary is now available on DVD at: <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://buff.ly/1sEyGCf" href="http://buff.ly/1sEyGCf">http://buff.ly/1sEyGCf</a> To receive a 10% discount off your purchase enter code: BBD10SPOT at checkout. The film will be released digitally and online in the coming months.<br />
<br />
Jacqui Blue discusses Beautiful Births:<br />
<br />
"This is and has been a very grass roots project that was created with passion and will likely continue to be a grass roots outreach in my approach to getting it seen by the masses as I continue to reach out to the birthing communities across the country. My objective with this film is not to tell anyone where or how they should give birth and at no point is the hospital system demonized in my film. But I want to help empower women and give them the information that mainstream media and their doctors within the US medical system fail to tell them," said Jacqui. "That was my intention with this film because every time I turn on the television to watch anything about pregnancy and childbirth, it&apos;s always full of fear tactics and is not realistic for the average woman. So instead of waiting for someone else to make a film about birth the way I wanted to see it, I did it myself. And I hope that no matter where or how a woman chooses to give birth, after watching my film she&apos;ll be better informed on what it is she wants as well as what is available to her that she may not have known about before."<br />
<br />
Her debut film, Beautiful Births is educational documentary about the natural process of pregnancy, labor and child birth that is different from the mainstream medical way that most women in America have come to think of as "normal." Three women share their birth stories of in and out of hospital experiences. In this film, information is given on an array of topics such as why diet matters during pregnancy, cesarean section and the option of vaginal birth after cesarean section. It also touches on the dangers and risks posed by early inductions and interventions in childbirth. The film&apos;s mini prelude on Youtube has received over 4 million views and counting; <br />
<br />

<br />
Beautiful Births is a wonderfully produced film which does a great job of presenting the truth about natural birth which has been well received by natural birth advocates and media alike:<br />
<br />
"I was so blessed to be given a privilege to watch the whole documentary. I was so touched and moved by it. It highlighted stories and beautiful photographs of women who were giving birth the natural way. I could relate although I gave birth twice in a hospital. I found women who shared their stories in the film admirable. They had the guts to go back to basics. I believe that men should watch this to better understand what women are going through during pregnancy and delivery." - AllRoundPinayMama.com<br />
<br />
"The stories the women share in the film are touching and powerful. Some of the stories I could relate to from my own hospital experiences, mostly the fact that often, you don&apos;t feel in control of your birth. Jacqui Blue does a wonderful job in opening our eyes to the realization that women do have other options and can have the birthing experience they desire." - B-is4.blogspot.com<br />
<br />

Filmed and directed by mother, filmmaker and artist Jacqui Blue, the film&apos;s primary goal is to inform and educate women about natural childbirth using the Midwifery Model of Care and to act as a resource guide that allows women to be aware of their other options.<br />

Having had a Cesarean section with her twins, followed by two very different but successful hospital VBACs, which was then followed by a water birth in a birth center, Jacqui developed a passion for natural birth and fell into "alternative" or "attachment" parenting styles. When she became annoyed with the programming available to women about pregnancy and birth, she decided it was about time for someone to make a film that showed another, a different, a more natural way to bring children into the world.<br />

      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 11/19/2014 --  With the release of her forthcoming album, "Secret Music" slated to debut in January, singer-songwriter Amy Kress has released the first single, "Numb" from the highly anticipated project.

The new single is now available on iTunes at: <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://bit.ly/1vnhBSI" href="http://bit.ly/1vnhBSI">http://bit.ly/1vnhBSI</a><br />
<br />

<br />
Written by Amy, her new single introduces a dynamically talented artist whose creativity extends beyond songwriting. As a musician, she is directly involved with the production, sound and vocal arrangements of her music.<br />
<br />
"From my one note piano melody he [Sawyer] created the Numb you hear today. The chorus gave me chills the first time I heard it. It was big and hard-hitting and so much MORE than anything I had ever written before. I had tears in my eyes the first time I heard the finished track." – Amy Kress, regarding the production of Numb.<br />
<br />
The track is a sacred song of searching for the answer, wanting and needing to be made whole again. With lyrics such as, "I cease to care whom I hurt with my selfish insistence that I am empty, I am hollow," Kress, careful with her words says this is about, "not wanting people to know when I&apos;m hurt or lonely and not wanting to hurt their feelings by declaring them inadequate to fulfill my desires."<br />
<br />
In addition to her upcoming album, Amy Kress has continued to be an inspiration through her ongoing battle with breast cancer; As an advocate, she dedicates her time to blog about her journey on CaringBridge.com and is a voice for others in her community. A Denver native, Amy is using her life experiences to encourage others to continue doing what they love in the midst of life&apos;s challenges.<br />
<br />
Amy Kress<br />
<br />
"The healer told me that I wasn&apos;t fulfilling what my soul needed. I was, in her words, a flower in the desert that had no water. I was starving for something to feed my soul and I needed to make a change. I needed to express myself. I needed to create and I needed to put it out there. The most important thing she said to me is that not everyone is ready to hear what I have to put out there. Don&apos;t worry about it. The people that are, are the ones I&apos;m playing for." – Amy Kress<br />
<br />
Life is what happens between the lines and at times it&apos;s hard to handle much less share with others. All of the great artists manage to bridge this gap though and Amy Kress is one of few the with this unique gift. Kress is the unlikely star; the mother, the wife, the survivor, and her story is an inspiring one.<br />

      <title>Philosopha Drops Work Single and Music Video from Forthcoming Too Dope Album</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>

<br />
Produced by Dave the King, the video was directed by Phil Jordan and depicts one aspect of the urban street life scenario; Hustling to make ends meet and finding a way to persevere when the road gets rough. "Work" is an honest reflection of a time in Philosopha&apos;s past where the "all or nothing" approach was a real part of his every day life. Both artist combine lyrically to offer two sides of what it means to "work" - in the streets, and in life.<br />

      <title>Rapper Drew Godson Teams with Pat Streater for a Free'd Style (The Son's Revenge) Single</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/06/2014 --  Brooklyn rapper Drew Godson has released the first of his upcoming promotional singles; "A Free&apos;d Style (The Son&apos;s Revenge)" is Drew&apos;s latest effort in which he displays a non-traditional approach by creating a song structured without a hook or chorus. The new single is available on Soundcloud at: <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://buff.ly/XxU1FQ" href="http://buff.ly/XxU1FQ">http://buff.ly/XxU1FQ</a><br />
<br />
Produced by his Brooklyn counterpart, upcoming film director/music producer Pat Streater, the track gives a clear message about the emerging lyricist&apos;s past and present lifestyle. Through Drew&apos;s label, RAP.WELL RECORDS, the two are working on his forthcoming EP which will include a combination of Streater&apos;s classic hip hop production fused with Drew&apos;s East Flatbush-styled rap.<br />
<br />
"The duality of a hip hop prospect, the battle between good &amp; evil, the story of hip hop&apos;s love child," says Drew. "The tale of God&apos;s rebellious son."<br />
<br />
Inspired by Nas, Rakim and Jay-Z, Drew aims to deliver thought-provoking content through his refurbished backpack rapping style. The new single, "A Free&apos;d Style (The Son&apos;s Revenge)" makes a strong statement of his arrival in the rap game. He is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on the new EP.<br />
<br />
About Drew Godson<br />
With an older brother, father, and sister being musicians in the family, music is absolutely in the bloodline for Drew, who was really moved to pursue music after seeing Kanye West. Right then and there he knew that Kanye would change the game, without a million gold chains and an earnest hard hitting sound. The one album that really moved Drew forever and took him to the oasis that he feels is hip hop in all its glorification, was Kanye&apos;s "College Dropout"; as he claims it was the &apos;embodiment of the culture on a silver round disk&apos;. Nas&apos;s "Illmatic", Jay Z&apos;s "Reasonable Doubt", and Rakim&apos;s "18th Letter" were also very influential to Drew, and he considers them all classics. Influences are instrumental in shaping sound and future performances, a true valuable part of the intricate development of an artist.<br />

      <title>F14 Life's Abe Readies the Prequel EP</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 07/30/2014 --  Dubbed the "Dynamically Odd Duo" lifestyle music brand F14?s Abe Alem and Wayne Valentine are gearing up for the release of their latest EP, "The Prequel". The 7-track effort offers an intimate glimpse inside the mind of an eclectic artist from the Midwest influenced by the late 90s through early 2000 hip hop era. "The Prequel" is currently available on Soundcloud at: <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://buff.ly/1uA9LH5" href="http://buff.ly/1uA9LH5">http://buff.ly/1uA9LH5</a><br />
<br />
Produced by the other half of F14, Wayne Valentine, "The Prequel" features southern influences with a splash of post modern sounds. It is a stark contrast from Abe&apos;s previous project, "February", which was rooted in the moments of his love life of past and present relationships with women leading up to the point of its release in February 2014, thus the title, "February".<br />
<br />
"In The Prequel, I captured the moments in my life where I had fun," says Abe. "And the moments where I needed to vent my frustrations and some of my ambitions up to the point of the project&apos;s release."<br />
<br />
Each track has its own special message and produced accordingly by Wayne Valentine, also an emerging musician and audio engineer. In the tracks, "Too Deep", Abe touches on not needing extra people on the team, and in "Quality," he reiterates the point. He adds, "By using our intelligence, we compensate for the lack of extra worker bees that other teams have."<br />
<br />
Abe will be performing a few singles from the EP on Friday, August 1st in Kansas City at Power &amp; Light District with Black Oxygen and Strange Music&apos;s Kutt Calhoun. With the new release at their heels and the increasing momentum of F14 Life, Abe and Wayne Valentine are becoming noticeable trendsetters as more fans hop aboard to support their movement.
