|    'Where Is Your Heart?' From Award-Winnin    |
|    15 Jul 17 21:27:44    |
      From: musicdish@gmail.com              There are times when life events prompt us to hide behind inner walls, and       then, methodically, to break out of loneliness, darkness and anxiety. That       journey - and its ultimate redemption - personify the sonic triptych of "Where       Is Your Heart?"              Co-written and co-produced by award-winning Ayhan Sahin with hit songwriter       Bernadette O'Reilly and released by New York City-based Young Pals Music,       "Where Is Your Heart?" is the unprecedented eighth single from the album "Pop."              As the song explores that internal pilgrimage to find strength on the other       side, its gently cascading melody, acoustic guitars, plucky piano and       rat-a-tat percussion boost the track with an inherent spirit of optimism that       helps propel its missive of        recovery.              In the lead vocal from Sahin, he sings, "When night goes never-ending, when       winter is your heaven, why is this the story of my life?/Where is your heart,       Where is your soul, Who reaches out there when you fall?/Never say never when       you're down.              "Where Is Your Heart" was recorded live with renowned New York musicians Tom       Gallaher on piano, Rob Preuss on keyboards, drummer Mike Sorrentino, and       bassist Carras Paton, with background vocals from Jerri Bocchino & Keith       Fluitt. It was mixed by Sahin        and mastered by Greg Calbi of Sterling Sound.              "This single is particularly close to my heart and to Bernadette's, reflecting       on a very real struggle that a dear friend endured," Sahin says. "The happy       ending is that through such sadness she found strength she never knew she had."              The album project, meanwhile, "took three years of planning to find the right       vocalists to go with the songs. We've been really fortunate to gather so much       talent," he adds. "It's been so gratifying—and a lot of fun—to release       each single and watch        them find their audience in diverse and often unexpected ways."              Indeed, "Pop" is the album that keeps on giving. "Where Is Your Heart?"       follows last winter's single "Hard Times," sung by multi-platinum recording       artist and American Music Award Winner Randy Jones, who is beloved as The       Village People's iconic cowboy.              The single before that, "Another Bad Mistake," features lead vocals from       beloved disco act Anita Ward, renowned for her seminal No. 1 "Ring My Bell,"       which hit the top of the Billboard Hot 100, Disco, and Soul Singles charts in       1979.              In all, the 12-track "Pop" showcases more than a dozen 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. In April, "Pop" was        awarded The Akademia Music Award for Best Rock Song for single "Drink."              The album is the first namesake project for award-winning Turkish-born Sahin.       He founded independent label Young Pals Music in 2007, through which he has       released a dozen albums over the past decade. He has worked with Olivia       Newton-John, Mexican        superstar & Broadway star Bianca Marroquín, Melba Moore, Phoebe Snow, Turkish       superstars Sezen Aksu and Sertab Erener, Sandra Bernhard and five "American       Idol" finalists.              Sahin has appeared on Univision, while his music has been featured in       Billboard, The Los Angeles Times, Playbill, MTV, Yahoo! Music and on CNN and       "The Wendy Williams Show."              https://www.facebook.com/YoungPals/       Music: http://youngpalsmusic.com/files/290694/where-is-your-hear       -eq-04-17-2017-44k-16b.mp3              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
