(PRWEB) March 30, 2004 -- Todays pop artists are becoming increasingly known for a single specialized trait: the ability to pump out radio hits" by the dozen. In an age of modern pop, it is expected that pop stars will be nothing more than puppets, with producers and studio executives holding the strings. The music of top 40 and popular radio formats is big business, and the marketing formula behind recent artists is almost as visible as the glitter and flashy veneers that adorn both their costumes and their songs. Fortunately for appreciators of the popular genre, independent pop is making a comeback as the creative answer to advertisements cleverly disguised as CDs, and one of its foremost artists has just released an album that will relieve their ears. With her very own brand of pop -- and an abundance of the soul music fans have been missing -- Javelyn is launching her new record, Cut to the Chase, early this April. The album, complete with upbeat melodies, haunting ballads, and of course, Javelyns silky vocals, is the refreshing retake on pop music that listeners have grown accustomed to living without.

The most impressive aspect of Cut to the Chase is the incredible diversity of styles throughout. Rather than the average spry ballad/power pop mix found on many mainstream recordings, Javelyn hops from one format to another, utilizing acoustic feels, drawling dreamscapes, even piano or synthesizer-led lines that are as uplifting as they are relaxing. The reverberating sounds of Cut to the Chases title track draw listeners in, bouncing on the strings of a light guitar line under Javelyns encompassing voice. Conversely, the driving beat and strong social message behind Familiar Face carries listeners through the track, blending powerful vocals, electric guitar, and an ethereal undertone to create a truly evocative piece. Javelyns more genuine approach to pop music gives her a unique sound; while remaining light and animated, the songs have a spiritual quality that seems to give them more substance. Only from You, another upbeat track, again carries a positive message and a bouncy feel. Using real emotions within her lyrics is Javelyns way of keeping her music sincere, and without the filler" mentality that many songs are written from. "Basically, most of my songs are very personal," she states about her themes, I write a lot of them to me, to my own soul, to get through some rough times, to cheer up, to encourage, to reprimand." She is determined not to be the kind of musician that writes simply to put out another record: I'm not one of those artists who have 500 songs sitting on the back shelf. I only write when I'm inspired or can't hold in what I have to say any longer."

Growing up in LA with a loving family and positive support, its no surprise that Lady J" should feel compelled to deliver her emotions and her messages to the world. She has modeled, acted, and even played in cover bands, but Javelyn says that her real interest lies in her original music and unique ideas. Audiences respond to her approach, readily identifying with her songs and her upbeat attitude. Though she continues to expand her musical understanding and scope by collaborating with other writers and arrangers for some of her songs, the message and direction of her music remains the same. With her first album, Lady J: Music for the Soul, Javelyn gathered rave reviews for her individual style and intelligent writing, and she has continued in that same vein in her second full-length release, Cut to the Chase. Not only does she persist in the style that garners her the most attention; she carries on in the way that makes her happiest: writing her own music, singing her own songs, and moving audiences in her own inspiring way.

Javelyns unique and expressive style gives her a spot all her own within the pop genre, and allows her to pour all of herself into the music she creates, rather than subjecting her work to the whims of an executive board. For her, music is no more a financial enterprise than the emotions she crafts her songs from, and such quality is undeniably apparent in her new album, Cut to the Chase. As MusicDish publishes, This is music for the soul. If you listen to the words and let the music take you away from your troubles, the spirit of each song will heal you and bring a smile to your face." Cut to the Chase is a remarkable album, and any enthusiast of pop or rock, truly any music fan in general, should pick up a copy of this release for their collection.

Javelyns Cut to the Chase will be available for sale at her website (www.javelyn.net) in early April. To request an interview with Javelyn, please contact Rainmaker PR.
