Aliah's song "What Is So? with its pro-peace message
and trippy "U2 sounding rave-rock" vibe is going to be on
SOUL ASYLYM - an Alternative Rock Compilation CD with
Broad Horizon Records with lots of cool musicians
(Check out Tori Allen also scheduled to be on it - from the Austin area.)
Relase Date is September 13th 2010.
She is working on the music video for "What Is So?
"What Is So?" is co-written with Justin Gray.... and was described
in an Austin Daze article as "rock with a psychedelic edge"
Sharron Jones goes on to say "cuts like "What Is So?" &
“Dig
Deep” (are) both modern stand-out
tracks,
with major commercial appeal."
"Little Shelf" is set to open an Artistic Documentary
that will be have segments on CREATIVE EVOLUTION called:
The Making Of...cocreating.us
cocreating.us

“Little
Shelf” is an Ambient Down Tempo Sung &
Spokenword
Atmospheric Performance Art Piece
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 emu 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
"Little
Shelf"
is the opening song on
Shades Of Images

Aliah's 2nd CD.
Aliah's
song "Little Shelf" was
nominated at the
2008 Hollywood Music Awards.
in the Ambient
& New Age Category.
And for an
LA Music Awards in 2007
in the
Experimental
category.
The song "Little Shelf"was also featured on
Broadjam.com's Newsletter as they launched the new
Spokenword Chart.

FROM
BROADJAM.COM NEWSLETTER:
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!”

Aliah was planning to call
her next CD: Wildflowers
Then, Sheryl Crow did...
someone
Aliah has met & admires
and she began 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 she offered blessings to both Judy & Sheryl -
and the whole idea of the Wildflowers CD title -
a new song came... and then she found a song that she loved
everything
but the title on.
She sang IN LIGHT OF NOW instead and it worked perfectly.
Like it was all planned for the moment when it came.
Now it is the
title track for the new CD - a movin' on song - called:
In Light Of Now.
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 3 CD's:
SPIRAL
On...
HOMEWORLD
SPIRAL
On...
ZOOM POP
&
SPIRAL

birthed with some of the best Austin musicians
