"HOLDING ON"  -  CD SINGLE - SELINA ALBRIGHT

9/28/2020

"I'll keep holding on till the whole world knows I matter. I feel myself getting stronger. My life is a gift I won't give away!" -Selina Albright 

Picture
These words serve as the foundation for the new CD Single "Holding On," that will be released on October 16, 2020 by R&B Vocalist Selina Albright. Her Press Release says the lyrics "express the discouragement and fatigue felt by Black people all over the world working against the oppression of systemic racism..

​
The year 2020 is not the first time Black people have tried to convince non-Black people that our lives matter, and we will keep coming back to the outcry of this message until we are recognized, treated, respected, and valued not only as whole humans, but also rightfully as contributors of rich culture, excellence, creativity, innovation, style, and intellect."

WHAT MIGHT YOU FEEL AS A LISTENER?

Picture

You may be struck by the simplicity of the words of "Holding On," but also by the emotional response they evoke.  In essence, they remind us of the struggles black people have endured for over 400 years; the disappointments felt, when the world keeps screaming, "You don't matter!"  Yet . . . that still, small voice inside says, "You do matter . . . believe it . . . because it is the belief that keeps you moving, it's the patience  . . . you rely on, the inner strength . . . you draw on, and the faith you cling to. . . that's gonna' get you there.  Keep "holding on," you can make it!"   

WHO IS SELINA ALBRIGHT?

Picture

Selina Albright is a nationally, internationally-known, independent, singer-songwriter, whose versatility allows her to sing in several genres, but many fans see her as an R&B/Jazz artist.  She is a native of Los Angeles, CA, with a singing style  reminiscent of Ella Fitzgerald, Minnie Ripperton and Whitney Houston.   So, on October 16, 2020, get your copy from Apple, Amazon or Pandora, and be inspired!
​
​Music is in her soul, and if the name Albright sounds familiar, it is . . . Selina is the daughter of world-renowned, contemporary, Jazz Saxophonist Gerald Albright.  While her single "Discovering," is inspired by the birth of her child earlier this year, "Holding On" addresses cultural and social issues black Americans have lived and died with for centuries. 

​Other recordings include: You and I, Brighter and Sun Comes Up.

Picture

EAMTRADIO.COM is delighted Ms. Albright has included us as one of the online stations to add "Holding On" to its Playlist.

EAMTRADIO is Humbled by Ms. Albright's Response:

"My God, my God!! I’m so honored by this!!! WOW!!!!! Such great compliments!!!!
Thank you, Mamie, for making the newsletter for your listeners - AMAZING!!!!! I appreciate every word.
You just made my whole day a little brighter!!! Thanks again!!!! And please let me know how your EAMT listeners receive the song."
Sincerely,
Selina Albright

DJs  NOT ONLY PLAY MUSIC THEY . . .

EAMTRADIO DJS

DJs and radio personalities can be valuable informational sources as they spin tunes.  One source says this about DJs:

"DJS (Disc Jockey) are extremely important to the music Industry. They directly play music in front of the audience and interact with them on a regular basis than other type of musicians. Disc Jockey clearly stands the taste of fan whereby engaging in direct and regular interaction."

Talk Show Host Martha Jean (The Queen) is credited with calming the tensions of many blacks during the 1967 Detroit Riot.  She urged them to go home or be shot.  It is also reported that she visited a house containing members of "The Black Panthers" surrounded by Detroit Policemen, and led them to safety.  After going inside of the house and speaking with them, she urged them to give themselves up to police and was told, "They're going to shoot us!"  Her reply, "They'll have to shoot me first."  Trust, compassion and generally proving to people that you care, are qualities that make a DJ special.

RADIO PERSONALITY  FRANKIE DARCELL

Picture
Then ... there was Frankie Darcell with "Talk of the Town" on WMXD-FM (MIX 92.3)  . . . her voice could be heard throughout the store of RIO BOUTIQUE, Downtown Detroit.  If you wanted the news on "everyday matters," tune-in to Frankie.  Even if you did not know here, listening to her, made you feel you did.  She was a friend, confidant and "girl friend."  It was a sad day to see her go in 2012.

RADIO/TV PERSONALITY HORACE SHEFFIELD III

Picture
Radio/TV Personality Horace Sheffield III talks not only on the "air waves," but in the pulpit as well.  Another "handle' is Minister Sheffield, Pastor of New Destiny Christian Fellowship Church.  He is an on-air radio personality for 1200 AM/WCHB, as the host of On The Line and an on-air television personality for Channel 38/WADL, as the host of Real Talk Weekly. 
 


Whether your topic is racism, schools, family values or a host of other topics, having a microphone gives you an opportunity to make a difference in the world . . . a voice to say "This is what I believe, what do you believe?"  The memorial of Congressman John Robert Lewis has shown us that ordinary people can do extraordinary things.  It only takes courage, determination, desire and knowledge that every person matters.  As Lewis discovered, sometimes battles are lost, but in the end the war is won.  Are you daring? Gallant or Fearful?  You decide!  Do you have a story?  Do you wish to help others tell their stories?  If the answer to any of these questions is "Yes," grab a mic, and . . .sound your voice!  It's your time!

The Sound of Silence ...

Listen...What Do You Hear?   Nothing...

Picture
Artist: Pabloberto

Music:  Not Happening Today
​

Musicians in the Metropolitan Area of Detroit and across the State of Michigan are listening to the "sound of silence" because clubs, churches, organizations and venues that require music are closed--closed on orders of Governor Gretchen Whitmer.  Her "Stay Home, Stay Safe" order comes in the wake of the coronavirus spreading rapidly in Michigan.  Hospital beds are running scare as hospitals scramble to take care of patients.

​How Are Musicians Handling "No Work?"

Like everybody else...trying to "make ends meet."  It looks like the Stimulus Package will pass soon, so, maybe after the virus is under control, a sense of normalcy will resume.  Also, once the stimulus money gets in your hands, "catch-up." In the meantime, what do musicians do?  Well...if you have computer skills, consider setting the groundwork for an online business, and when the economy gets better, manage it between gigs.  That can be another source of income.  Take a look at the list of resources below:

Colonel Leon Wright ... Now ... DJ Leon Wright



DJ LEON WRIGHT: As a licensed radio DJ, "working the microphone" is not foreign to Leon Wright. . . it's returning to something he once knew and loved.  That's because his specialty is AIR STEM CAT Technology, serving as an information technology specialist for the United States Army.

From 2000 until today, Wright has set-up and operated sound audio boards for several churches.  Thus, he will join EAMT RADIO with a workable knowledge of the technological world.

Once DJ Wright hits the "air waves," he will reach into his Jazz repertoire of music and spin sounds.  He may also draw on his experience as a chaplain and add a few sacred sounds.

So. . . watch your mailboxes for the day he will officially join "EAMT - The PLACE 2B!"
