CURTIS STIGERS TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM HOORAY FOR LOVE, APRIL 29, 2014, ON CONCORD RECORDS Posted: 12 Feb 2014 01:42 PM PST Curtis Stigers is set to release his eleventh album "Hooray For Love," April 29, 2014, his eighth for Concord Records. The album includes classics from the Great American Songbook including such gems from the repertoire as George and Ira Gershwin's "Love is Here to Stay," Jerome Kern's "The Way You Look Tonight," and "If I Were A Bell," from Guys and Dolls, as well as three songs written or co-written by Stigers, including the title track, "Hooray For Love," "Give Your Heart to Me," and "A Matter of Time." Of his new album, Stigers comments, "On almost all of my Concord records, I've done a standard or two and lot of songs by modern songwriters.  This time around, I've flipped it and recorded mostly standards with a few modern songs." A seamless combination of old and new songs, a classic pop album recorded with jazz musicians and a jazz sensibility, Hooray for Love is a celebration of this universal human condition. "I set out for this album to be like an old Nat King Cole record from the 50's. I've had a lot of people ask me to do more standards, not critics or record companies, but friends. So, I had a running list of songs that I love and have always wanted to record. This time it really made sense."

NEW RELEASES - JAHEIM, MILLIE JACKSON, PINK MARTINI Posted: 09 Aug 2013 01:31 PM PDT JAHEIM - APPRECIATION DAY After a long hiatus, the super crooner is back by popular demand. When asked about his return, Jaheim mentioned that he's anxious to get back to his fans, "It's been so long since I've had a chance to create music from my heart for the fans that have loved and supported me from the start. I decided to call the project 'Appreciation Day' because that's exactly what this album is. My show of appreciation to them." The lead single off the albun is "Age Ain't A Factor" and the album featuress smash hits like: "Chase Forever," "Sticks and Stones" and "Morning," a call back to the Shirley Murdock classic. A vocalist in the tradition of such greats as Teddy Pendergrass and Luther Vandross, Jaheim has released three albums over five years: his 2001 debut, "Ghetto Love"; 2002's sophomore set, "Still Ghetto" -- both of which reached RIAA platinum status; and 2006's "Ghetto Classics." During that time, he also scored nominations for the BET and Soul Train Music Awards. In 2007, the chart-topping artist returned with his Atlantic Records debut, "The Makings of a Man." No stranger to personal loss and struggle, Jaheim promises to make "Appreciation Day" more than just the name of an album, but an invitation for him and his fans to show those that mean the most to them, how much they care. "It's a feel good album with very special messages hidden in every song. I'm looking forward to this journey with my fans."
