   The new Robert Kramer single "Branded", a sultry,erotic pop tune destined to   
   become a favorite, is already steaming up the airwaves ahead of Valentines Day.   
      
   Its' steady moving rhythm and sensual minimalist approach is a departure from   
   Kramers' usual fare, and much removed from his last single "Place In My   
   Heart", a tender R & B track featuring Frank Zappa vocalist Napoleon Murphy   
   Brock. The new tune is    
   getting heavy rotation on internet and terrestrial radio worldwide.   
      
   This time out, Kramer seems at ease with a new, direct vocal ethic, "Branded"   
   being the first in a series of a whole string of all new material being   
   characterized as "Kramer 3.0"   
      
   "It's a total 180 for me.." he comments. "You reach a certain point as a   
   composer where you need to start taking more risks..I've felt the frustration   
   of playing it safe..this new batch of material is a complete departure from   
   the early tunes."   
      
   Stating this is the first in a series of new songs slated for a new concept   
   album titled "Shadow Logic", Kramer is choosing to take a reverse approach in   
   compiling the tracks for this next album.   
      
   "Each song is going to be completely different." says Kramer, who claims in   
   bygone eras, the pop music charts weren't just all "rock n roll" or "pop   
   music".   
      
   Pop charts used to offer the listener a variety of genres. Kramers' approach   
   is a return to that method of delivering music to the public.   
      
   "We're releasing each song individually over a period of time, allowing the   
   listener to compile the order for themselves. There's progressive rock,   
   acoustic piano power ballads, some pop, a bit of jazz/fusion..something for   
   everyone. Why lock yourself    
   into one type of music?"   
      
   With the advent of the individual mp3 digital download, the record industry   
   has, in effect, returned to the concept of the "single".   
      
   Kramer claims he's releasing each song to let it stand on its' own instead of   
   having to buy a whole album just to get the one or two songs you really want   
   from an artist.   
      
   "That's why we're calling the album "Shadow Logic". There's 14 or 15 songs   
   we've got marked for release in the next few months. It will be interesting to   
   observe the reaction as each song is revealed over a period of time, kind of   
   like waiting for the    
   next episode of your favorite tv drama. And there might be videos or special   
   tv events connected to some songs..you never know what will happen next.."
