I Wanna Go Down?

Alright, so I did it. "Down" has finally been resurrected -- TWICE... First, and probably the most hilarious of the two -- the upcoming single and video by Dan Diamond feat. Nicole... "I Wanna Go Down." While I'll be singing the chorus, Dan and Nicole turned this tune into a duet. An attempt at new words and verses; it's perfect for the "OTHER" crowd. The mainstream "Miami DANCE" club crowd.

There will be a video -- yes, you heard me.. A music video. In fact, I'm flying to Las Vegas in Mid-March to shoot my scenes... I'll be playing a few characters in the video -- thanks to Dan, who really wanted to pay tribute to me. Gotta love him!

At the same time, I recreated my OWN version. Yes, it's featured on the album "Bittersoulfulsweet." And no, I don't think our versions will "clash..." In fact, I think that one will totally enhance the other. This is gonna be one GREAT year for me -- it's already proven to be great so far.

Thank you all for your continued support and blessings... I promise not to let you down. And NO, that's not political bullshit. It's just me being real...

MUAH!

Discovery

I was searching through my music VAULT... and stumbled across this song. I recorded it back in 1997. It was written for my daddy, on the 10-year anniversary of his death.

Being curious, I listened to it. I smiled at how poetic I was, in describing my feelings. I LAUGHED because the music is so influenced by "WENDY & LISA." (I love them...)

Anyway, the song is called "Still Winds Blow." I'm a bit shy, because I never released this song. This was a musical "diary entry," if you will; for nobody's ears except mine, my Dad's and God. But I still thought I would share it with you.

The lyrics are below. Journey with me, back into time... (and I like the little cassette tape player as well... how nostalgic.)

With love, AC...

"Still Winds Blow"
(written and performed by Aaron-Carl)


Somewhere inside the spirit garden,
is the soul of a man whose fire continues to rage
inside of me...
For without me, he went on to become an angel.

Still lies the wind that blew life into me.
Never to wake from the blistering peace...

For he sleeps where still winds blow...
Daddy sleeps where still winds blow...

Somewhere inside the spirit garden,
is the soul of a man...
Forever calm is the storm that once used to be.
Without me, he went on to become an angel.

As I lay down to watch him sleep,
I'm torn with disbelief...

For he sleeps where still winds blow...
Daddy sleeps where still winds blow...

As I lay down to watch him sleep,
I'm torn with disbelief...
For he sleeps where still winds blow.
Daddy sleeps where still wind blow...
Do I go where still winds blow?

Experience, Part 2

Tonight.. . 7pm - 9pm EST. Make sure you have Quicktime... See u there?

MUAH!!! AC

Anticipation...

Bittersoulfulsweet... That's been my life lately. Bitter, Soulful and Sweet. But today, I'm BUZZING with anticipation... Every time I think I'm finished with this album, something else happens to inspire me to do better. OH MY GOD, I'm so happy right now! Khan of Finland and I did a sexy duet... it's called "Forbidden." Now, you KNEW I wasn't going to Berlin without running into my Khan!!! But yes, I've played this song nearly 100 times already.. I can't wait for y'all to hear it. It's sexy. I can't describe it any other way.

My radio show is tomorrow -- this time I won't be so nervous, and I swear I won't talk so much. LOL... I listened to the archive, and I couldn't stop laughing! "uh.. this is Aaron-Carl.. " Oh really? LOL!!!

I'm also finishing up the duet that I did with Veronique. I can't say this one is sexy.... But it IS powerful. That girl had me singing like CRAZY! But alright, I won't tease y'all. Not yet, anyway. Don't ask me what the LEAD single from the album is, because right now, I don't know it. But you know me. Tomorrow, this could all change, and everything will fall into place. And I promised myself (and the world) that Bittersoulfulsweet would be available early of 08. Well, March is a perfect time.

I must admit... Working with other producers and singers is a lot of FUN! DJ Nasty, Gerald Mitchell, Khan, Veronique -- yes, this album's gonna be hot. ...or is it bitter? soulful? sweet? (All of the above, bitches.. LOL... ) I love y'all.

Big hugs and LOTS of love..

PSA: Ron Murphy Funeral Arrangements and Memorial Fund

Per the family of Ron Murphy, I am forwarding the funeral arrangements to those who knew and loved him...

Memorial services will be held on SATURDAY, Jan 26 2008 at SANTEIU FUNERAL HOME
1139 Inkster Road,
Garden City, Michigan 48135
Services are open to the public from 6 pm - 9 pm.
In lieu of flowers, please send a donation.

An official page has been set up for the Ron Murphy Memorial Fund. You can make your donation (via PayPal or credit card) by visiting http://www.wallshaker.com/rmfdonate.htm

All donations will be forwarded directly to the family of Ron Murphy to help pay for expenses, etc. If you cannot make it to the funeral, or aren't in the area, I strongly urge you to show your support and donate to the Ron Murphy Memorial Fund.

Like many people in this music industry, Ron had no insurance. As this is a VERY trying time for the family, the very least we can do is give a little to support the man who has done SO MUCH for Detroit's music scene.

Much love and respect,
Aaron-Carl
