Rocking Out In NY With Shimmerplanet
Shimmerplanet's debut CD, "Welcome to Shimmerplanet", was
produced by Blake Morgan (Lenny Kravitz, Patti Rothberg, Mike
Errico) and mastered by Phil "Butcher Brothers" Nicolo
(Aerosmith, The Police).
Shimmerplanet is the talented duo of Carolyn Eufrasio and John
Fischer, both classically trained musicians who branched out
into singing rock and roll at NY clubs. The result can be heard
in the compelling lyrics and powerful vocals combined with
horns, electronic influences and aggressive electric guitar.
"I was delighted to listen to a dark, lush, beautifully crafted
album with overtones of trip-hop, Kid A Radiohead, and Moby." -
Matt Sherman, Reviewer

NEW R&B ARTIST "JLE" CAPTURES A UNIQUE SIDE OF THE RYTHEM &
BLUES GENRE WITH HER MOTOWN ROOTED RELEASE "That's Me".
Critics and fans agree that JLE, the great niece of Florence
Ballard of The Supremes, delivers the smoother side of R&B in
songs that are both meaningful and inspirational.
This twist on R&B brings back the old school flavor together
with modern urban R&B and has an emphasis on a lyrical content
that seeks to reach listeners of all ages. "Edison's voice
courts the elements of R & B, hip-hop and rock melody to come up
with a debut album that you can tell aspires to reach the
massive ear reach of Michael Jackson land", says Tamara Harris -
Manhunt.com.
The resulting project "That's Me" started with a musical family
dedicated to the creation, writing and production of music from
the heart. This debut album with all lyrics written and
arranged by the artist herself Jennifer L Edison, whose initials
have spawned her artist name recognized as "JLE", has a special
family chemistry with all music written and produced by brother,
Charles Edison, and father, Raymond Edison. "My main focus is
to write music that can inspire or influence its listener in a
positive way", says singer/songwriter JLE. "Music is a medicine
even if it can just inspire you to have a good time and R&B has
been a genre that has definitely had a strong influence on me so
in this album I wanted do music that is both fun and
inspirational".
When asked about this musical family entity JLE says, "We just
have a great chemistry together and it goes beyond the blood.
Even if we weren't related we'd still be musically attached at
the hip". The creativity of this production team resulted in a
16 song album that reaches deep into the smoother side of
Hip-hop, R&B and rock melody. "The thing that I love the most
is that my brother and father have a musical style that is so
different from one another. My brother, Charles, is known
around town as the beat-master and can do just about any style
of music and my father, Raymond, is a classic
pianist/keyboardist and brings emotion, meaning and soul into
every key he hits on the piano, so the end result is so great.
I'm just glad I get to write and sing to their music for free".
JLE and her musical family come from Detroit, Michigan home of
the Motown. Although they have all played together for many
years their venture into this family team started in 2001 where
they cultivated their independent label The Song of Songs
Records. They are all professionals at their craft and have
many years of experience behind them.
In a genre where originality and creativity is a make or break
aspect, the JLE "That's Me" album satisfies that criteria in a
simple and heartfelt way. With words from listeners submitted
on the home of JLEMusic.com and Garageband.com that read, "I
would listen to you all day. This album is truly beautiful as
well as inspiring to the soul.... You're a goldmine waiting to
be found", one might with confidence conclude that "That's Me"
definitely has a home to claim inside the music industry.
