The album “Back In The Groove” is now available as a download on iTunes (worldwide), on Amazon.com and wherever good music is sold!

The album is also available as a CD from CD Baby.  This is a small-run, strictly limited edition, destined to become a collector’s item.  They’re all at CD Baby and when they sell out, don’t ask me: that will be it!

13 tracks – “Whatever You Do”, “Today”, “One of These Days” (feat. Maria Willson) + 8 brand new songs and 2 remixes!

There’s some pop, some rock, some ballads, some dance!...  Vocals by Maria Willson, PJ Lequerica, Kelly Webb, Priscilla Slade, and yours truly, SuperCool-Guy!… a CD for all seasons: get yours today! :-)

Every month, I will be featuring one track from the album on this blog.

This month: “Tierra del Fuego”…

Delta Goodrem is not only breathtakingly beautiful…

She’s multi-talented and a top singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist, writing or co-writing almost all of her songs. 

Australian Female Artist of the 2000s

Her three studio albums (2003’s “Innocent Eyes”, 2004’s “Mistaken Identity” and 2007’s “Delta”) have all reached no.1 in her native Australia, spawned eight no.1 singles, and sold over 6 million copies worldwide, making her one of the top-selling Australian artists of the last decade.

But life hasn’t always been all song and dance for the Australian beauty...

In 2003, at the very young age of 18 and while she should have been enjoying her top spot on the charts, she was diagnosed with cancer (Hodgkin's lymphoma), which she battled and eventually overcame. 

Countdown to the 4^th Album…

Maaya Sakamoto (坂本真綾) is perhaps best known as one of Japan’s top “voice actresses”, with an impressive and ever-expanding list of anime and video game roles to her credit (some personal favorites: young Motoko Kusanagi in the two “Ghost in the Shell” feature films and “Stand Alone Complex” series, Aerith Gainsborough in “Final Fantasy VII Advent Children”, and Lightning in “Final Fantasy XIII” and “XIII-2”).

She is also a popular singer of “Anime” songs (“Escaflowne”, “Wolf’s Rain”, “RahXhephon”, and many, many more).

Since 1997, she has also built a successful career as a pop singer, with no less than 7 full-length albums, 3 “mini-albums”, and 3 compilations reprising her anime work and other singles.  She’s only 31 and just getting started…

Maaya Sakamoto’s voice is incredibly pure and crystalline.  You don’t need to know Japanese to appreciate her singing (she also has a few songs in English).  She also brings an innocence and dream-like quality to her music that I find very refreshing.

To me, Maaya Sakamoto has the purest and most beautiful voice in pop today – in any language.
