SEAL to Release New Album SEAL 6: COMMITMENT, on September 28
SEAL Re-Teams with Legendary Producer David FosterInternationally acclaimed vocalist and songwriter Seal will release his sixth studio album, Seal 6: Commitment, in the U.S. on September 28th on Reprise Records. The first single is “Secret,” a deeply moving, string-laden ballad, that ranks among Seal’s finest love songs. Commitment finds the London-born, three-time Grammy Award winner re-teaming with renowned music maestro David Foster, who also produced 2008’s Soul, Seal’s stunning covers collection of soul classics.
“I asked David to produce Commitment because quite simply, he’s the most incredible person I’ve worked with in the studio for a very long time,” Seal says. “He’s one of a kind. I don’t think there’s an arranger and producer anywhere on the planet who can do what he does.”
Foster is equally complimentary of Seal. “His voice is so unique and he has such command of it — his tone and musicality are unequaled,” Foster says, adding that Seal was on a mission while in the studio making Commitment. “He was in fearless, relentless pursuit of greatness — no one was going to obscure his path. The album is full of beautiful musical surprises and his songwriting has never been better. He says it may be his best work yet and I think he may be right.”

The west coast is about to experience its first bass driven earthquake as three of the nation's top live electro, dubstep and glitch and producers join together for their first combined tour. The 11-day circuit will kick off this September in San Diego and will make its way up the coast featuring electronica artists EOTO, MiMOSA and MartyParty. Listeners can expect to be transported into another space and time with the sound and fury of the most respected dance music produced live on the scene today.Electronica music does not have humble roots. Since its inception, the driving beats have moved bodies with a tribal-like abandon; inspiring colorful dance parties with almost a trance-like effect. New technologies have given birth to entire genres of musical sub-cultures - though none have seen such significant growth as the DubStep and Glitch categories are experiencing today. Built on unusual time signatures, clipped segments of samples and occasional vocals the genre favors dark, experimental themes laced with break beats and heavy bass.

Young Raleigh Artist Jordan Okrend Forges Distinct Sound With NEW EP
Jordan Okrend is a young musician who has always wanted to inspire people with music that carries a message of hope. At the age of 19, Jordan has just released an EP that he hopes will do just that. His debut EP, “Unpredictable” contains five songs with introspective lyrics and memorable melodies that move the body and touch the soul. The EP has a contemporary feel that brings artists such as John Mayer and Jack Johnson to mind, but it also has roots and melodies that evoke The Beatles and Bob Marley.
"This is no accident. I grew up in a house where music was a constant," says Jordan. "My Dad composed jazz/new age on the piano, and the sounds of the Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Miles Davis and Bob Marley were never far off. I started taking guitar lessons at the age of 7 at Harry's Guitar Shop in Raleigh and loved it. When I started writing my first songs as a young teenager, all these musical influences were already there, but I also liked Hip Hop and Funk."
