Noel Lorica's- Second Glance


Three songs were limitedly previewed from this album. These three songs were already recognized highly by the music industry. Billboard & John Lennon Song Contests have honored "Second Glance" & "Passing By". Independent Music Company (IACmusic) has named "Tell Me Now" as Jazz Song of the Year. Mr. Lorica also recently played at SunFest, Fl. & recorded two 1 hour Comcasts telecasts of their "New Music Showcase" to be aired later this year. Along with his vibrant instrumental compositions, Noel has added engaging vocals to two of his songs "That's How it is" & the for mentioned "Tell Me Now", both having great universal appeal. And with Grammy ballot nominations in his debut year, this year looks like it may just surpass that accomplishment.
