What began as a wonderful West Coast Shades Of Images Promotional Tour
became a longer stay in Southern California to follow through on some amazing opportunities.

Currently, Aliah is following through on some opportunities in Northern California
and has now re-located there.

Aliah's song "Little Shelf" was
nominated at the

2008 Hollywood Music Awards
.
in the Ambient & New Age Category.

And for 2 LA Music Awards in 2007 in
Female Vocals & the Experimental
category.

The song "Little Shelf" Aliah was also featured on
Broadjam.com's Newsletter as they launched the new
Spokenword Chart.


They put her bio and a link to the song
"Little Shelf" and her Broadjam industry site
in the newsletter and Aliah has been
getting emails from Broadjam listeners who are also musicians.

Words Of Wisdom

The advent of the printing press may have shifted the focus from oral poetry to written poetry, but the talented Broadjam artists who perform spoken word remind us that the oral tradition holds a significant place in creative communication.

First, check out Aliah Selah's song "Little Shelf" for a unique mix of spoken word and singing. The voice matches extremely well with the instrumentation and beat of the piece. The sensual vocals and the abstract theme contribute to the mysterious tone of the song.

Then later added this quote.

“Very seductive vocals, meshing well with the underlying guitar and percussion work. Nice lyrical approach as well. The vocal work here would shine with electronica backing as well. This is undoubtedly above the edge here!”

- Broadjam Member, Studio Musician


“Little Shelf” is an Ambient Down Tempo Spokenword
Atmospheric Performance Art
like
tune that came out as a jam that magically happened
at the end of Aliah's recording session from her 1st CD
Acoustic Perfume.

Later, she and producer Mitch Watkins
added his guitar over dubs and her vocals -
all magically done in one takes as well.
And when she was advised that such a song did not belong on an AAA CD -
Aliah put it first - as an atmospheric opening setting the vibe for her next CD
Shades of Images
.

DJ's liked the song - they just didn't know where it fit.
They said it was in the style of "Alternative Jazz"
but that there was nothing out there like it in "Alternative Jazz"...
then after putting it on Broadjam it reached:

#1 on in California's Top 10 List

#1 on The West Top 10 List

#1 in Productions -
"Other Tempo" Top 10 List

and #2 in Productions -
"Female Vocals" Top 10 List

Musicians should check out Broadjam, Buzzplay, and TAXI. & Sonicbids.
These organizations are really dedicated to helping
musicians to get their music out to places where it counts
& support them every step of the way.

With the attention of "Little Shelf"
in Europe and on Broadjam.com
and with Aliah's dance background -
many people have suggested Aliah
do some recordings more in the direction of electronica.

She worked with DJ
Finbarr Massi

on "I See Your Eyes"
a song that the two of them co-wrote.

Aliah has been inspired by Electronica & getting more & more into it.
She sees it blends with the Universal Eclectic Jazz Rock Funk Fusion...
of the jamband SPIRAL and then add video to it... and out comes
a special blend of Aliah & her soulmate/bandmate/life partner & husband Paz + what the other musician brought + something else... we are in pre-production
with ZOOM POP - birthed with some of the best Austin musicians.

You can see these videos coming soon...
with the birth of their new TV Show that they will be production with
their son Zack - who started playing electric guitar now & studying Kung Fu.

Together as a family - they are in pre-production with a new
Evolutionary Comedy, Music & Activism TV show called:

"Little Shelf"
is the opening song on
Shades Of Images


Aliah's 2nd CD.


A Shades Of Images review:

"A vocal beauty and lyrical talent
that brings to mind the
haunting mystery of the old
Jefferson Airplane.
Rich with her marvelous blend
of vibrant rock and
soothing mystical ballads,
it will help to heal the pain of letting go."

-Chiwah
The Light Connection
February 2005


Well speaking of letting go....
Aliah was planning to call
her next CD: Wildflowers

Then, Sheryl Crow did...
someone Aliah has met & admires
and she was looking for a
new title for her next CD ever since.

Aliah says, "Sheryl's Wildflowers CD is wonderful -
she is continuing to write really touching songs that ring
of insightful honesty - down there in songwriter heaven (Nashville).
Judy Collins had a Wildflowers CD in the 60's too-
remember her hauntingly beautiful voice?
They are both free spirits who offer the wildchild spirit -
kindly to a world who needs more of that.
And as I offered blessings to both Judy & Sheryl -
and the whole idea of the Wildflowers CD title -
a new song came... and now it is the title track
for the new CD - a movin' on song - called:
In Light Of Now."




HEAR Aliah ROCK:
Besides the title track "Livin' In The Shade" - there are 2 other funk rock songs that feature Aliah on Tenor Sax: "Starchild" & "Fridge Poetry"
from her Livin' In The Shade EP that will also to be included in
The Rockaholix movie




The title track tells how
we all want - a perfect golden tan while...
"Livin' In The Shade".


Some of Aliah's Rock songs have been
recognized at Broadjam as well:


"Living In The Shade"- reached #1
on the Rock - Roots/Rock 'n' Roll Top 10 List

"Starchild" reached #2 on the
Rock - Roots/Rock 'n' Roll Top 10 List

"Evergald" reached the #2 Jazz - Fusion
Top 10 List


Part reality - part life-calling -
and part rock & roll fantasy...
