Lori Michaels is Livin’

2008-07-25T14:40:08-06:00

If you like it when the buzz about a performer ends up being all true – stay tuned to Lori Michaels. Her full-length CD debut, “Living My Life Out Loud,” couldn’t be more aptly titled, period – and is slated for release this spring on Reform Records.
She’s been singing and dancing since she could talk and walk. But Michaels’ career launched into new orbit in 2006, following her official “Coming Out” party at the House of Blues’ Club Worship in Atlantic City. It was a House of Blues first, and a turning point for Michaels in her evolution to in-demand solo artist and nationwide headliner with her head-turning Me & The Girls shows.
In a time when coming out has evolved from something equated with fear to something much more about freedom, Michaels has freed her artistic soul to deliver “Living My Life Out Loud.” It is a testament to, above all else, her love of the song – whether that means writing, arranging and performing the vocals (lead and backgrounds), showcasing her talents on the piano/keys, or overseeing production with the best in the business to leave listeners breathless.

Amy Winehouse we hardly knew you

2008-02-11T08:45:27-06:00

Despite winning multiple Grammy’s, we’ll never hear from her again. She won the career kiss of death award...a.k.a. Best New Artist.

She showed so much potential. Oh well, we still have Lily Allen.

You can go to Amoeba’s website and get her latest single “lullabies” for free or visit her Myspace page. http://www.myspace.com/brandishearer Let me know what you guys think! Here’s what’s being said about her…

“Brandi Shearer has an irresistible voice, a smoky instrument imbued with an air of mysterious melancholy, a voice that allows every note she sings to slip beneath the surface and stir deep hidden feeling….”
