Album Notes

Composer & Producer Joey Melotti plays all instruments and sings lead vocal on "My Chi-To-Be!". This is a funky driving song with an uplifting Fender Rhodes solo and funky Acoustic Piano solo (a la Herbie Hancock). Vocal features are the rap of Corey Stallings and the sweet harmonies of Sharon Hendrix. This groove guarantees to lift your 'Chi'!
