Serious Voice Uplifts Black Woman With A New Project Titled ‘Beautiful’

Recording Artist from CHH community releases new music project with an approach that may surprise her fan base and provide all listeners with a new perspective of her sound.

Brooklyn, NY – USA | September 07, 2021 — Brooklyn recording artist Serious Voice is back with a stellar new project dubbed “Beautiful”, affirming women, showing the bravery it takes to accept their insecurities but stand in the strength that only they as women can bring to social issue family, and business and doing it all while singing like never.

Brigitte James known creatively as “Serious Voice”, is an award-winning artist that has been working on several projects over the last year including her talk show “Success Stories with Serious Voice” that is broadcasting in six cities nationwide with many more to come. Serious is putting the finishing touches on her documentary titled, “Rap Queen”, but Serious could not keep her music fans waiting any longer! She had to give the people what they have been waiting for, going on five years. BARS!

Serious has taken some of this time to perfect her craft of lyricism and is ready to present her sophomore project to the world. “Beautiful” drops on all platforms on September 9,2021 and features several talented high-octane rap queens and showcases Serious Voice in a new light.

If you were to go back and listen to Serious’ debut album Shofar you will immediately recognize the stark difference in the artist she was and the artist she has become. “I had to grow as a rapper, and I am more conscious of what’s going on around us here in this country and abroad” Serious shares. Shofar was released under her label Serious PPL Music in 2016 and executive produced by MooreBeats. Serious garnered a placement on Spike Lee’s, “She’s’ Gotta Have It” with worship song “WOAH”, toured across the country for an entire year performing “Anthem” a fan favorite off the same album.

“Beautiful” has been a labor of love and patience. With patience and determination “Serious Voice” has birthed a multi-track album that is fitting of its title “Beautiful”! This album celebrates the beauty in being a black woman. It captures the beauty in learning to love and accept yourself for exactly who God created you to be. This album celebrates the beauty there is in having faith and spirituality while trying to remain grounded in all aspects of life.

The title track “Beautiful” is an anthem that reminds us to tell one another often that you see the beauty in them, not only in the physical but in your acts of service and love. On your worse day “Beautiful” will make you look at things with a more positive attitude encouraging you to find the beauty in even the most challenging situations.

“Hear Me Roar” is a powerful collaboration between six amazing women from all different backgrounds and walks of life. This song celebrates women in a way that recognizes their strength but also allows for them to be the gentle, nurturing and emotional creatures God created women to be. The ladies go from a prospective of being the backbone of their families, acknowledging their flaws and but standing strong in their beauty.

If you are looking to add some positivity, beauty, faith, and positive self-affirmations to your playlist be sure to download “Beautiful” by Serous Voice on all platforms September 9, 2021 and join her in celebrating her project release September 11, 2021 in Richmond Hill, NY.

Dousic is an interactive social media platform that engages users with a diverse discovery experience. In the Dousic community the public can personalize their content and creators can monetize their products.

“With Dousic we wanted to create a social media platform for people like photographers, models, authors and musicians, so that they have total control of their destiny by owning their brands and products via the website and the App. In addition, Dousic is a fully functioning social media platform giving users a wide variety of connectivity such as chat, audio or video calls, all in one convenient location”, said Michael Ferguson, DMG Executive Vice President/Founder.

A movie buff from a young age, he eagerly awaited the release of the latest Bollywood movies, and sat back to listen to and learn the lyrics to songs while most of the audience used it as an interval. The first step of his musical career was in 1966, when he performed with a group of local musicians in a stage show, Young Talents’ Night at the Don Bosco Hall in Mangalore, following which, he has today completed over 10,000 performances, including 1,002 stage shows, across the country.

Dastaan is a soulful reminiscent by Santhosh Hegde to his wife, and pillar of support for almost four decades, Suman. In tribute to her birth anniversary, the musical concert would be held at the Chowdaiah Memorial Hall, in Malleswaram, Bangalore, and would involve engaging performances by Santhosh Hegde himself, along with other talented artists. Presented in remembrance to Suman Hegde and the love and inspiration she brought into the lives of her loved ones, the evening promises to be a magical trip down to the Golden Yesteryears of Bollywood Music.

Joining him in his performance would be his daughter, Mithila Hegde, a filmmaker by profession, who has been performing alongside him since the age of 9. He will also be accompanied by Ahmed Ali, a popular Hindustani/Sufi artiste from Kolkata who has learned his craft from renowned Hindustani vocalist, Ustad Abdul Rashid Khan. The evening would also feature Priya Yadav, who is an acclaimed, versatile vocalist based out of Bangalore. The band accompanying the artist would be a Kerala-based 15-member orchestra that has performed with the likes of Yesudas, S. Janaki, and Unnikrishnan, to name a few.

The concert will be hosted by the multi-faceted Vasanthi Hariprakash, who remains the much loved voice of the Breakfast Show on RadioCity 91.1FM.

Jerry Velona Releases New Album Entitled Love Radio

Boston based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jerry Velona has released his sixth album entitled Love Radio. The record contains 9 tracks ranging from rock to funk, soul, country and blues.

Boston, MA, USA (November 12, 2014) — Boston based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jerry Velona has released his sixth album entitled Love Radio. The record contains 9 tracks ranging from rock to funk, soul, country and blues.

Love Radio features six original compositions by Velona as well as three covers including the lead track, Looking for Lewis and Clark composed by Sid Griffin and a hit for his band The Long Ryders in the mid 1980’s. Velona updated some of the song’s lyrics with Griffin’s permission and about Velona’s version he commented: “Jerry Velona once again proves his musical worth in a balls-to-the-wall cover version of the Long Ryders’ ‘Looking For Lewis & Clark’, a pounding yet melodic take which begs the question: where are the great and fearless leaders of the present day? Velona’s committed vocal and approach to the lyric may not provide a complete set of answers but oh Mercy, they frame the question so very, very well.” A video for the song can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmAAaMoalag&feature=youtu.be.

The record features an assortment of some of the finest musicians in the Boston area including several faculty members of Velona’s alma mater The Berklee College of Music. Local singer Debbie Pierre is featured on background vocals on many of the tracks as well as the lead vocal on The Ghetto (ain’t going back). Hip hop artist and spoken word poet J Ivy is also featured on the same track which was adapted from the Donny Hathaway tune Ghetto first recorded in the 1970’s.

“I’ve spent a great deal of time over the past couple of years composing, arranging and recording these songs,” said Velona, “I’m very proud of the record and I think some of the tracks represent my best work to date.”

Velona produced the record in addition to singing most of the tracks and playing drums and percussion on many of them. The songs were recorded at Woolly Mammoth Sound in Waltham, MA and Q Division Studios in Somerville, MA. Mastering was done by Bill Bromfield at Clockwise Records, Nashville.

In addition to Looking for Lewis and Clark, Love Radio features several straight-ahead rock tracks including the humorous When I Wake Up, the semi-biographical First to Last and the subtly political The Bureau of Whatever.

Other highlights include the deft funk of Our Own Devices which Velona playfully describes as, “our ode to analog fun.” The album also features the bluesy Just Don’t Feel Like Christmas about which Velona says, “I was trying to express the melancholy that often accompanies the Christmas season.” The record is balanced out by covers of the Robbie Robertson song Forbidden Fruit and the somewhat obscure soul chestnut Baby What’cha Got (for me) recorded by the late soul singer Darrell Banks in l967.

Love Radio is available for sale at CDBaby.com http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/jerryvelona5. More information on Velona and the release can be obtained at http://www.jerryvelona.com.

Jerry Velona is a Boston area singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He’s played and sung in a number of Boston bands and has written songs which have appeared on HBO, MTV and elsewhere. His voice has been featured in commercials and the theme song for the independent film “Lifestyles of the Poor and Unknown”. He can be reached through his website at jerry@jerryvelona.com.
