Album Notes

From a fan-

I was always in search of a CD that would be nice to make love to.
It would start out with a jazzy tune with a good vocal track so we could talk about the song a little while we kissed each other's necks and smile.

Then I would want to have an upbeat tune so we could shake a bit to break the ice...kind of a warm up tune, the next track would be in a romance language...like spanish, this is where we begin to get passionate and start the fire.

The next few tracks I wanted a nice rockin steady beat while we get our groove on and we showcase each others talents over and over again.

....and finally as a grand finale I would want to hear a sweet love song, while we lay wrapped in each other's arms,exausted.

This is what this CD does.
It takes you from one spectrum to another, slightly enhancing whatever you do.

Even if you're alone and thinking of someone you'd like to be with...it's all good because Music saves the soul!



******* More about the music! *********

The original music of Shades is a blend taken from the rich cultures of New York City.
The nitty-gritty beats of the ghetto syncopating into the classy elegance of 5th avenue.
Love songs with pain but with evident happiness forthcoming.
Songs of isolation developing into self discovery.
Raw music to heat and heal the soul...played by musicians who have been around and bring experience and expertise to this project.
We leave it in your hands...lovers of good music.
Like the shadings of an emotional painting we hope to play into your hearts.
The music is a fine blend of R&B Pop with a jazzy-Latin feel.
