"Across The Sea" EP Available Now!

Hi Everyone,

The official release for "Across The Sea" is finally here on Abora Recordings!  This uplifting trance EP (incl. Intro, Original, and Orchestral mixes) is available for purchase on Beatport, itunes and Amazon.

About "Across The Sea":

"Original mix is a peaceful journey through the waters of uplifting trance, influenced by progressive, trance, electro, and even a tiny bit of dubstep. With a melody like this, all you have to do is sit, close your eyes, and relax! If that is not enough, there is a beautifully crafted orchestral mix that includes soaring strings, serene vocals, and harp arpeggios. The release is also accompanied by an intro mix that sets the emotional stage. We hope that you will really enjoy this release!"

I had a lot of fun working on it.  Thank you for all the wonderful feedback so far.  If you like the track, please support the release.

Thanks and enjoy!

New Bandcamp Music Store - Now Operating!

Hey Everyone,

After some procrastination, I finally finished setting up my bandcamp music store:

http://kellyandrew.bandcamp.com

It contains all of my releases to date with free full-length streams to all of my music.  Full-length albums can be downloaded for as little as $7 and $1 for a single song.  Physical copies can be purchased there too.

For any new upcoming releases, I will be updating there.  In the meantime, enjoy the good music.

HMMA Nominated Track, "Retribution" Release Date!

Hey Everyone,

It's official! The Hollywood Music in Media Awards nominated track, "Retribution" single will be released on CDBaby and Bandcamp available for purchase, November 23. Other stores like iTunes, Rhapsody, and many other internet stores will follow shortly afterwards.

I've spent a total of 9 full days working on the track.  My favorite thing about it is that it tells the story pretty clearly: A man wrongly accused for a crime he didn't commit and in the end, justice prevails.

I hope you come and support this epic orchestral single release.

Late Summer Update

Hi Everyone,

Little update from me.  I know things have been a little quiet around here ... that means a lot of new music is in the works and preparing for live performances.  I've been practicing on the piano/keyboards daily as part of my preparation.

There is a good possibility for an upcoming album, but nothing's official yet.  I hope to get this finalized by the end of this year or early next.  I know it sounds like a ways out, but not to worry, the quality will be there; it'll be worth the wait.

Right now, I'm making some final tweaks to next couple of Trance releases.  Beyond those, I plan to put Trance on hold for a while.  I need some time to focus on getting my other music finished and get them performance ready.  However, I do plan to release more in the future.

Thanks everyone for sticking around!  I'm truly grateful for your support.  Expect activity to pick up here very soon.

Finally, if you haven't done so yet, please feel free to follow me on twitter.  I'm active there.  http://www.twitter.com/kelly_andrew

Digital Distribution Transition + Update

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update from me. There is going to be a blackout time to buy my songs digitally on iTunes, Rhapsody, etc. sometime between June 20 and July 10 while I'm transitioning digital distributors. So if you want to buy my songs digitally, you need to do so before June 20, or wait until after July 10.

During the blackout time, however, physical CDs will be available still on CDBaby:
http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/KellyAndrew
 
Once I get the new digital distributor squared away, everything should be back up on iTunes, Rhapsody, etc. for digital downloads. I will let you know as soon as it does.

Also, I'm preparing some new music that I will be releasing very soon. I have about 4 songs done with another 12-15 in the pipeline waiting to get done. This includes "The Incursion" Trance/Orchestral single as well as a future project I'm preparing. More to come.
