Phoenix based Singer-songwriter Jonathan Cavier Announces Release of New Full-Length Album Blue Room On May 12

Blue Room is Cavier’s second full-length album, and the followup to 2016’s Premier release and contains the new single “When You Come Around”

Los Angeles, CA, May 10, 2017 – Pop singer-songwriter Jonathan Cavier is preparing for the release of his second solo album, Blue Room, which will be released via iTunes and all major digital outlets on May 12. Blue Room’s first single, “When You Come Around,” was recently released on April 21 and the video for the song will be released next week in advance of the full album. On “When You Come Around,” Sting’s influence can be heard as Cavier passionately sings about his desire to connect with someone special over an affective acoustic melody. There is raw emotion in both Cavier’s voice and lyrics on Blue Room showing an artist that has a deep strength in communicating emotion to his listeners. Blue Room’s sound is a continuation and maturation of the sound from Cavier’s first solo album, Premier, as both of these releases blend together pop influences from the 80s, 90s and music of today. On Blue Room, Cavier continues to “transport listeners to colorful three-minute worlds,” a process he started with the 2016 release of Premier.

Cavier’s time in the atmospheric pop duo EyeTalk gave him years of experience and exposure in countries all over the world. With the maturation of his songwriting and composition and the wide array of generational influences on Blue Room’s ten tracks, one can see an artist truly coming into his own.

In addition to his musical endeavors, Cavier is a semi-professional tennis player and a member of the USTA and IFT. Cavier says practicing and playing in tournaments is “the fountain of youth.”

Pop-Rock Singer-Songwriter Jonathan Cavier Releases Cover of “Waiting (Reprise)” Originally by George Michael

“Waiting (Reprise)” is the latest addition to the “Cavier Covers” series and is available now.

Los Angeles, CA, November 18, 2016 – The “Cavier Covers” series continues today with the release of “Waiting (Reprise),” originally by George Michael. The Phoenix-based singer songwriter Jonathan Cavier has put his own spin on the album cut, and his Cavier Cover version is now available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and all major digital outlets. Debuting in August 2016, the “Cavier Covers” series continues to highlight Jonathan’s favorite and most influential musical moments and heroes – from the Duran Duran cover “Save a Prayer” to last month’s release of Sting’s “Fields of Gold.”

Cavier’s version of “Waiting (Reprise)” is similar to the original while showcasing his unique vision for the song. Cavier says that he has “always loved [George Michael’s] vocal style,” so he honored that style with his faithful vocal takes. However he recognizes that he also “heard this song with a faster tempo and vocal harmonies,” both of which are departures from the original version and help set this latest Cavier Cover apart from the original which appeared on George Michael’s 1990 album Listen Without Prejudice (Vol. 1).

All of Jonathan Cavier’s music, from his debut solo album ‘Premier’ to the latest Cavier Cover, is available to stream on Spotify and he is continuing to post a monthly vlog series discussing everything from a day in the life of Jonathan to stories about the Cavier Covers on his YouTube channel.

About Jonathan Cavier:

Originally from Northern California, Cavier (pronounced “cav-AIR”) has been based in Phoenix, AZ for several years and up until recently was performing as Alan Clark in atmospheric pop duo EyeTalk. Over the course of ten years and five albums, this venture saw Cavier’s music reach audiences as far-flung as Italy, the UK, and Australia. After five albums and hundreds of shows played throughout the US, Jonathan Cavier has reimagined himself and has formed a new musical identity on his debut solo album Premier. In addition to his musical endeavors, Cavier is a semi-professional tennis player and a member of the USTA and IFT. Cavier says that practicing and playing in tournaments is like “the fountain of youth.”

Seven-time Billboard charting singer-songwriter Margo Rey announced today her newest single “Never2Late.”

Los Angeles, CA, April 25, 2015 – Seven-time Billboard charting singer-songwriter Margo Rey announced today her newest single “Never2Late.”

Never2Late” is an easy listening yet upbeat pop song that displays Margo’s signature melodic flair and vocals. Following her last releases, “Colours” and “Tempted,” Margo is not stopping anytime soon to write inspiring songs for her fans and collaborate with talented musicians such as John Oates on this latest release.

Never 2 Late is also the first song that I wrote the music and lyrics with John Oates simultaneously. It was a joyful experience and I’m blessed to call him my friend and songwriting partner.  John also honors this recording with his gorgeous Hall and Oates harmonies,” Margo states.

“It’s a message that kindness makes everything better because it is human nature to desire kindness and the need to be understood.”

This brand new single is the second collaboration with Oates, the first with top 20 Billboard charting “Let The Rain,” which became the theme song for non-profit organization Brides Against Breast Cancer.

Margo’s alternative pop songs have captured a worldwide audience with her unforgettable melodies, groove oriented arrangements and enduring, socially conscious lyrics that always blend a variety of organic sounds with every bit of emotion. The Indie Music Digest says, “Her musical/vocal style is cut from the cloth of Celine Dion, Bonnie Raitt and Shania Twain.”

Therapist Andrew Walen’s New Book is a Lifeline for Men with Eating Disorders

Man Up to Eating Disorders Shares Author’s Experience to Help Others Struggling with Body Issues

Columbia, MD, August 21, 2014 — Starting early in his childhood, psychotherapist Andrew Walen, LCSW-C, struggled with body image. The first sentence of his recently released new book, Man Up to Eating Disorders, available on Amazon in both paperback and e-book format, captures the shame he felt about his weight and appearance in a few powerful words: “Ever since I was a kid, I’ve struggled with thinking I am ugly and fat.” That shame led Walen to develop serious eating and body image disorders that lasted well into adulthood.

Walen, who founded The Body Image Therapy Center in Columbia, Maryland and practices psychotherapy there, wrote the memoir and self-help book to help other men and boys struggling with eating, exercise and body image disorders understand that they are not alone and that, with support, there is a way to overcome these issues. In the book, he shares his experiences with anorexia, binge eating, exercise bulimia, the underlying origins of these issues in his life and his process of recovery and self-acceptance.

“This book is to help guys come together, create their own tribe, talk recovery in their own language,” explains Walen. “Straight, gay, black, white, Asian, Hispanic, whatever your background – if it’s anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, compulsive exercise, steroid abuse or some combination of any or all of the above; we are all part of the same brotherhood. We are all dealing with the same core issues of belonging, perfectionism, control, identity, independence, and insecurity. The book is for all men looking for some way to break the shame cycle of their disorder and find real connection to themselves and their loved ones.”

In his practice, Walen specializes in working with men with eating disorders, substance abuse, body image issues, anxiety and depression. He has appeared on the Today Show and Baltimore/DC area TV and radio stations, as well as in the New York Times as an expert in the field of eating disorders. In addition, he is the author of numerous articles and leader of workshops on eating disorders, body image disturbance, exercise addiction, and binge eating disorder.

Six years after her highly praised album, “The Shape of Things”, the release of two singles, and a recent 5-week tour in Europe, Sheila Swift is ready to release her much anticipated EP, “The Striving is Over”.

In this new EP, Sheila proves that she is not just a one trick pony coming from “Daisy”, but a well-rounded, all natural musical artist.

“The Striving is Over”, is Sheila Swift’s most personal album yet. The EP presents three original tracks by Swift, written throughout her life that have been long waiting to be released. The musically talented songwriter uncovers herself in this album, presenting songs inspired during personal life experiences. In her EP, each track delivers its own uplifting positive message.

This album holds themes revolving around life. The songs in the album cover themes such as tension in marital life, letting go of the past and moving forward, while remembering about the good in life and reconnecting to one’s own roots. Sheila Swift proves her artistic creativity by adding a natural flow in the order of tracks in “The Striving is Over”. Track after track, the three song EP tells a story. From the first track to the last, the emotional and powerful lyrics, that Sheila’s vocals give life to, depict defining moments for her.

In “Stay”, the beautiful, acoustic guitar solos build while harmonizing with Swift’s powerful vocals. There is no doubt her southern roots are portrayed in this EP. Swift intertwines a touch of arousing country with rock into both other tracks, “Let Go” and “Home”. It is in both tracks where Swift releases positive and inspiring messages to her listeners. Lyrics such as, “you got to let it go”, speaking of the past, Sheila encourages moving forward in life. Sheila depicts fond memories of the south in “Home”, a reminiscence of her life growing up in the south, Sheila sings, “take me home”. Each track with its very own personal touch and artistic expression, Sheila portrays her love for music and life.

Following “The Striving is Over”, Sheila Swift has more musical endeavors up her sleeve with a vinyl album release by the end of the year.

Sheila Swift has evolved into a fully-fledged rock singer, largely leaving behind the pop-rock leanings of her previous work in favor of a more pure rock sound which shines through on the new material. Sheila played at the South By Southwest Music Festival, in Austin, Texas, as well as a showcase at House of Blues Houston and has finished a 5 week European tour in Germany and the Netherlands, with guitarist Ben Jarrad, where ecstatic fans described her as a mix of Gwen Stefani and Neil Young. A multi-talented artist, Sheila also incorporates her passion for the arts in her music.
