INDEPENDENT ARTIST MANAGEMENT COMPANY RELEASES FIRST WORLD ROCK FUSION ALBUM BY RECORDING ARTIST, SONGWRITER TINA JACKSON
Long Beach, CA -- October 22, 2003 -- Gorilla Opera today announced the release of the new music album, Songs In The Key Of Me, by independent recording artist Tina Jackson. A veteran NAACP award winning stage performer, Ms. Jackson composed the 11 tracks on the new CD, which was produced and arranged by Peter Dobson of Riddim Records.
According to reports issued in 2003 by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA),"Music is the world's universal form of communication. It touches every person of every culture on the globe to the tune of $40 billion annually, and the U.S. recording industry accounts for fully one-third of that world market." Hilary Rosen, Chairman and CEO of RIAA states, Music continues to appeal broadly to people of all ages and demographics. There is a tremendous diversity of music available to fill these needs and recent developments online make the choices for music fans even more exciting."
Gorilla Opera believes that the independent recording artist is largely accountable for this diversity and excitement. The indie approach to content creation and management of intellectual property is reshaping the industry overall.
This unsigned hero" delivers a music revolution to the world, via the Internet. Tina Jackson and other independent artists are breathing a sigh of relief into music that blows new found life into the creation process of music. Largely because they (the indies) are free from the constraints of Corporatized Music. Tina Jackson is speaking (or singing) loud and clear with this collection of favorable and flavorful concertos! Her music is a combination of mainstream and alternative adult rock influenced by blues, jazz, gospel, R&B, and bluegrass, with intercontinental accents from Africa to South America, and across grass roots and urban America. Each player on this project is a solo artist in their own right, and all are from different backgrounds, which add to the diversity and depth of this music. All of these elements combined helped in the evolution of a new genre Tina calls: World Rock Fusion."
"The heart of Tina's creative efforts can best be traced to the struggles and triumphs she has faced throughout life as a farmers daughter, single mom, business professional, and musician. When Peter Dobsons deep insight and interpretation of the artist and the artistry is added, well, all I can say is: We are very proud of this unique CD," said the Director of A&R and Gorilla Opera Vice-President David Curry.
The 11 tracks on the CD, Songs In The Key Of Me, are:
| | - -- You Figure It Out
- - Go With The Flow
- - Dark Waters
- - Canary Yellow Carerra
- - Where Do We Take It
- - Change Some Things
- - Belinda
- - Alley Cat
- - Nine One One
- - Make It Good
