Jeremey's CD?

Anyone have any info on it? Has it been released yet? He use to be on my FB but I got burnout on FB and deleted well over 300 peeps on there ( just didn't have time to keep up with it all so no offense to J or anyone else.) and I hardly check in now. Anyway..last I heard he had throat problems and it was delayed...so if it's not out yet, anyone know when?

He recently posted a trailer on YouTube. Think it's due out in March sometime. Sounds like it's gonna be good.

Clips sound good! I'm looking forward to purchasing it and giving it a full listen. Thanks, Ehwmatt!

I'm supposed to be thanked in the credits.

Indeed you have been sir, and thanks!

The CD will be out March 6th, and I hope you guys enjoy it. It's been something I've worked on for many many months and I'm glad everyone will finally get to hear it.

I'm looking forward to hearing it in total.

Can't have this thread without "Stay"

Jeremey, I've talked to Matt about the teaser you posted at some length and I think the vocals are fantastic, but I'm having a problem with there (seemingly) being no audible bass guitar. Could that be due to poor youtube quality/laptop speakers, or is there something more to it? It seems to be lacking a lot of groove that the bass guitar supplies, and I'm wondering if it's the album or mediocre quality sound clips. My guess is the latter.

When I originally made the post I had my daughter watching KISS from the front row on my clipboard.

Got it straight now.

I'm not gonna lie, these clips have convinced me that you really have what it takes to make it as a true pop star, Jeremey.

Dan, these were unmastered tracks - The normal EQ and compression you would expect to hear from a produced song is largely done through mastering, and it's what typically makes a song sound thick and warm.... Also, the YouTube audio from this clip is at a pretty low bit rate when compared with a CD or even an iTunes MP3. I didn't want it to be a huge file or anything, just wanted to have a sample of the tunes themselves. I play bass on most of the songs and it's one of my favorite instruments, so it's a key part of the groove of the tunes. I think you'll hear a much different sound from the finished product.

Wow, thanks Gideon, I just hope people like the tunes...At my age I won't be making any pop star waves, but I do want to make music that people can connect with.

Any plans on trying to get it onto mainstream radio? Is that possible?

That's what I was hoping to hear. Again, fantastic vocals, man.

Commercial radio literally costs hundreds of thousands of dollars in promotions, and even that isn't a guarantee it will get any airplay. Although "payola" was outlawed in the 90's - when record companies would pay program directors to play their songs - nowadays it's as prevalent as ever through independent promoters. If record companies pay all that money to a third party, then the third party works his relationship with the radio mucky mucks, that's not illegal. But it's essentially the same practice. Literally, a song like "Out Of My Head" by Theory Of A Deadman may have cost a record label a quarter of a million dollars in radio promotion just to get played on an influential commercial rock station in LA, NYC, etc. Of course that quarter of a million dollars is added on the band's tab, and they continue to live off of tour per diems and whatever songwriting royalties the writers in the band are making, while going ever deeper in debt.

Hope that isn't too much information, LOL. The short answer is, I'll be sending copies to non commercial radio stations like Class X FM in Cincinnati OH, low level FM and internet stations that still broadcast for the love of music. But I'll just be happy if people like the CD and spread the word so my fan base can grow and I can hopefully make another CD someday.

Jeremey, I just listened to this and it brought goosebumps and tears. You really conveyed the emotion of the song in your voice and this is your singing best, imo. Seriously, this is outstanding. Hauntingly beautiful. Kudos!

Thank you Phyllis I am glad you like the tune!!

Definitely a cool song that doesn't bend to some formulaic structure. The song is strong because of its uniqueness, calming depth and overall quality in just about every regard. 94/100 A-

Yep, like that he didn't go for the obvious.

Well said. It is unique. I just had a friend listen to it on my soundsystem a little while ago and they really liked it too.
