In Hollywood, you can end up in a movie without even knowing it! See comedy cutie Allusia as a gal-on-the-go who expounds upon her relationship with a hunk played by Shahrokh Mosavinejad after being asked the titular question by yours truly. LOL!

(UPDATED – I put a better mix of “Stay With Me” and made it downloadable)
Hey kids, I’ve been making a lot of “quick” cover tracks for my live weekly show “Unreal“, and I thought I’d post some for your perusal. Some caveats:

1. I already know I don’t have a technically amazing voice. I’m trying to learn as I go, rack up experience and aim for a more character-based sound a-la Mae West, Nina Simone or Marilyn — but based on MY character, of course, not theirs.
2. These quickie cover songs are made over the course of about two days… one day to lay down instrumental tracks and two or three vocal takes, and one day to mix said instruments and vocals.

These are a cover of “Addicted to Love”/”Simply Irresistible” sung with Detox Icunt, and my cover of Shakespeare’s Sister’s “Stay With Me”.

Compass Rose

Directed by Andrea James, this music video was incredibly fun to participate in. Cal-pal Matthew McPeck has a gorgeous thematic pop album called “Compass Rose” available now (ORDER MATTHEW’s ALBUM HERE), and he is the producer behind several of my songs like “Stunning (Matthew McPeck Death by Disco Mix)“, “Next! (Matthew McPeck Mix)” and FOUR new upcoming dance tracks(!!!).

Read more about it at his MySpace blog and hear some tracks on the main page. I honestly listen to some of Matthew’s music most every day, he’s a great guy!
