Gloria Estefan: "The Standards" (brand new album!)

 

 

Gloria Estefan is releasing a brand new album entitled: "The Standards." The wide release is on September 10th from Sony Masterworks. This project is the first full length album that features the great American Songbook. A labor of love for Gloria since first putting her vocals on the Frank Sinatra's Duets album in 1993 recording "Come Rain or Come Shine" and Tony Bennett's "Viva Duets" album. Both of those experiences Gloria Estefan loved and knew making an entire album would be perfection just finding the right time.

 

We give you a special listen to the album here!:

 

"The Standards" album for Gloria has her collaborating with some of the best in the business such as Dave Koz, Joshua Bell, and Laura Pausini. Many of the songs have a new lease on life with different beats for a more Afro-Cuban feel along with brand new translations bringing songs that were originally either written in English and Spanish and bringing the to life in another language in parts. Gloria puts her heart and emotions into every song as she always has and it is a thoroughly enjoyable album. The album also is getting the special treatment where Gloria recorded a PBS special which includes these standards.

Steve Grand is the "All-American Boy"

Steve Grand is the "All-American Boy"

Steve Grand just released his first single along with video for "All-American Boy." He is venturing into country music and will be considered the very first openly gay man artist in this genre. A big appreciation for this singer for placing himself in this spotlight that will surely give him a lot of recognition and water cooler conversations.

His tone is rich and the song is very relatable to many that have or are going through the same situation which is simply being in love. With lyrics such as: ""Time to be brave. The world does not see change until it sees honesty. I am taking a risk here in many ways, but really there is no choice but to be brave. To not tell this story is to let my soul die."

The music video is not just a fluffy cutsie video that many release for the first time but rather the story that one hears in the lyrics comes to life within the video. It unfolds and we see what many people no matter gay, straight, etc are going through with having a friend that you truly are developing feelings for that are more than just being a friend. We have provided the track itself along with the music which are both worthy of watching and listening to. Let us know your thoughts of this premiere single from Steve Grand which we think there will be much more from him soon!
