   NYC-Based Producer & Songwriter Ayhan Sa

   From: sunofmusic@gmail.com   
      
   To acknowledge National Sovereignty and Children's Day in Turkey - an annual   
   celebration that takes place each April 23 - Young Pals Music has released the   
   new single "Love Everybody." This marks the fourth release from the upcoming   
   album "Pop," the    
   first full-length namesake collection from Turkish-born, New York City-based   
   songwriter & producer Ayhan Sahin.   
      
   The album "Pop" features 12+ diverse vocalists & musicians across a myriad of   
   styles, including R&B & soul, dance, jazz, country and of course... pop. All   
   songs are co-written and co-produced by Sahin with hit songwriter Bernadette   
   O'Reilly, who has also    
   worked for three decades in artist relations, management and song placement.   
   She delivers the lead vocal for "Love Everybody," with an upbeat rap from King   
   James.   
      
   "This is a joyous pure pop anthem that unites all colors, all religions and   
   all cultures in a world that remains too divided and saddled with   
   discrimination." Sahin says. "My partner Bernadette and I wanted to celebrate   
   all the good things in life... our    
   friends, family, pets and beloved places... for 4 fun-filled minutes."   
      
   The production for "Love Everybody" revolves around a children's choir that   
   delivers the message of "L.O.V.E." in each chorus: "Well you can love many   
   people, doesn't really matter how many people you love/Cause you can love   
   everybody, every single body/   
   Cause every single body needs love." The track is an ideal accompaniment for   
   elementary school instruction as well as a call for unity in what is a   
   contentious election year in the United States. And adding to its delicious   
   pure pop template, it's no    
   secret that the madcap song also draws inspiration from "Does Your Mother   
   Know" by Swedish supergroup ABBA.   
      
   "Love Everybody" follows three previous singles from "Pop": First, in   
   December, was "New Year's Eve At Home," celebrating the joy of cozying up with   
   loved ones, with full-on country flavor, courtesy of vocalist Christi   
   Bauerlee. In February, rowdy break-   
   up song "Since You've Been Gone" was issued, sung by award-winning rock   
   singer/songwriter and film/Broadway actor David Keeley. And in March came   
   "Drink," about celebrating with a glass raised to the joys of life, love,   
   family and all good things. Lead    
   vocals for "Drink" are from veteran New York City-based singer & musician   
   Denny Blake, whose credits include the Broadway musical "Movin' Out." All   
   songs are available for purchase on iTunes.   
      
   The album "Pop" is the first namesake project for award-winning Turkish-born   
   songwriter & producer Sahin. In April, he was awarded The Akademia Music Award   
   as well as The Global Music Awards for Best Rock Song for "Pop" single   
   "Drink." Another single    
   from "Pop" -- "Since You've Been Gone" sung by David Keeley was awarded for   
   Best Rock Ballad by The Akademia. Meanwhile, he has achieved notoriety in a   
   range of musical genres, from pop, rock and dance to musical theater, while   
   working with Olivia Newton-   
   John, Mexican superstar & Broadway actress Bianca Marroquín, Melba Moore,   
   Phoebe Snow, Turkish superstars Sezen Aksu and Sertab Erener, Sandra Bernhard   
   and five "American Idol" finalists. He has appeared on Univision, while his   
   music has been featured on    
   CNN, The Los Angeles Times, Playbill, MTV, Yahoo! Music and "The Wendy   
   Williams Show"; and heralded by USA Today, New York magazine, MTV and The New   
   York Daily News.   
      
   In 2007, Sahin founded independent label Young Pals Music, through which he   
   has released a dozen albums in less than a decade, including projects for   
   Universal Records' Karine Hannah, Chilean-American singer/songwriter Promis,   
   MTV "Making the Band"    
   finalist Adam Shenk, acclaimed Georgian singer/songwriter Tinatin, and Sony   
   Turkey singer/songwriter/guitarist Emre Yilmaz.   
      
   All instrumentation for "Pop" was recorded live with renowned New York   
   musicians, including Gene Blank on guitars, synth & keyboards from Rob Preuss,   
   Mike Sorrentino on drums, and bassist Carras Paton. It was mastered at the   
   legendary Sterling Sound.
