A new single, “Lights Out”, will be released September 28, 2010 by recording artists Fallon and Felisha

Leave a comment

A new single, “Lights Out”, will be released September 28, 2010 by recording artists Fallon and Felisha. “Lights Out” is a club-banging, fist-pumping tribute to being young and alive. It sets the party mood for anyone who wants to dance and embrace the moment. As Fallon describes it, “It’s one of my favorite songs to perform. I think our fans will appreciate the energy!”

Fallon and Felisha have had an impact on the music industry for many years. They started their careers alongside their sisters, Farrah and Neosha, in the popular R&B group, Cherish. Their debut album “Unappreciated”, received much critical acclaim. It was certified gold and debuted at number four on the Billboard 200, making them one of only a few R&B girl groups to hit the charts top five in almost a year. Their hit single, “Do It To It,” landed the number twelve spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 and was listed on many other Billboard charts including the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

The twins are currently building on the success and experience they had with the group Cherish and are now expanding their artistic genius toward a broader audience. In Felisha’s words,” I’ve always had a love and passion for pop music. Music, to me, is supposed to reflect who you really are, reaching across genres, and relating to individuals from all walks of life”.

Through their lyrics, they share insight into being young and dealing with relationships. They are inspired by an eclectic mix of artists, and drawing upon that inspiration they are ready to relate to a diverse group of people. In this new decade of a continuously changing music industry, Fallon and Felisha are ready to begin a new era.

The new single “Lights Out” will be available for downloads on iTunes, Amazon Mp3, Rhapsody, Napster, MySpace, eMusic and www.fallonandfelisha.com online store. The official website is also set to launch September 28, 2010.

Lucid Dream During Coma Possible, Claims St. Louis Author

Leave a comment

Coma Story, a novel based on Diego Garcia depopulation, explores the link between dreams and creative problem solving.

St. Louis, MO, September 02, 2010 — Bringing together lucid dream concept and creative problem solving, at first, sounds illogical. Lucid dreaming has been researched scientifically, and its existence is well established. However, the power of the subconscious during coma is impossible to determine. Coma Story, ( http://www.ComaStory.com ) a novel by Dr. Stephen Thompson, attempts to take its readers exactly to that dimension of alternate reality.
The novel centers on the Chagossians, who were forcibly relocated by British, to make way for a military base. The narrator, a coma survivor, along with Diego Garcia native, conspires to gain back the British-controlled islands without violence. The narrator’s fascinating coma journey, and challenging the superpowers, explores the link between conscious dreaming and creative problem solving. Coma Story welcomes readers into a remarkable double-life, and guides through a mind-opening voyage.

Coma Story is available at Amazon.com (ISBN: 978-1453696774). More details can be found at http://www.ComaStory.com.

About the Author:
Stephen Manoj Thompson, Ph,D., is an award wining, Indian-born American author, with a special interest in school dropout issues. He has a doctorate in Management Information Systems. Before moving to St. Louis, he lived in Singapore. Stephen came to public attention in 2008 for his acclaimed Land of Opportunity Forever. By his own account, Stephen Thompson is an accidental social writer. His first book was named a finalist for the Independent Booksellers Book of the Year Award. Thompson’s Coma Story, ( http://www.ComaStory.com ) which centers on the forced displacement of Chagos natives, integrates coma with lucid dreaming to set the tone for a clever read.

New single So in Love on digital sale!

Leave a comment

Singer, songwriter and composer Moh Dediouf is a world traveller. Born in Dakar in 1974, his influence is international. Through his music he has proven to be the personal manifesto of/for the Africa renewal.

From his early years in Dakar to his life in Europe, Moh Dediouf explored multiple influences (pop/rock, house music), that he blends with his African roots, thus creating a unique sound.

His debut, self-produced album, released in 2007, has already gained recognition: Moh is the first French artist to win the First Prize in the World Music Category at the International Songwriting Competition. His song Adouna was chosen among more than 15000 tracks and 100 countries.

Moh Dediouf is now working on his second album, Smile Way of Life, a humanistic project that gathers artists from the African continent but also North Africa, Switzerland, France…

And the winner is…

His talent was rewarded again this year, his track Africaaa being the only song from a French artist to be featured on the 2010 official World Cup Compilation Hello Afrika. The lyrics, which are both in Wolof and in English, convey the energy and the diversity of the African continent. Africaa has received full attention because it represents the richness of African music and symbolizes the African unity that so many artists want to promote.

I have a dream

A hopeless dream? Not so sure… A wind of renewal is blowing on Africa, putting African artists together, including Moh dediouf, all willing to reinvent the continent in their own way by promoting its cultural strengths. With his track So in Love, which is a hymn to universal love and a true call for brotherhood, the artist makes his mark for bringing peace to Africa.

Release of the single So in Love: 15th august 2010

In today’s Internet the real time information is already playing a significant role in how businesses and people access and consume the information online. Technologies online have emerged up to the point where 2 minutes may sometimes be the difference between having tens of thousands of people not only seen your PR announcement, but creating a long tail of reactions across the vast real time online space adding up to your overall online presence/reputation and your message being buried down among millions of other identical pieces of information.

Considering how crucial the real time information for the average business and web user appears to be, one can only imagine how great the impact of the real time information flow over the public relations business online can be.

That’s why we think it is about time for RealTimePressRelease.com — real time press release distribution online.
