So in an interesting turn of events…I was recently contacted about a really interesting blogging opportunity. I’ll share some more details with you soon. I’m really excited! My blog is definitely picking up steam and now I’m really motivated. There was a time when I wasn’t sure if I’d come back to it.
In other news, one of my favorite dance singers, Kim Sozzi has a new album coming out next week! I’ve been a fan of Kim Sozzi ever since I first heard her dance jam “Feelin’ Me,” remixed brilliantly by Hex Hector. In the course of trying to figure out who this girl with the fantastic voice was, I learned that she had songs on both the “Dawson’s Creek” soundtrack as well as the soundtrack to “Teaching Mrs. Tingle” (starring Katie Holmes).
Sozzi’s soundtrack contributions definitely fell into the pop genre, but it wasn’t until she broke out as a dance singer that I really started “feeling her.”While Kim’s debut album Life Goes On never did see the light of day – she’s been hard at work since then, churning out the dance hits. “Feelin’ Me” hit #4 on the 2001 Billboard dance charts. After a brief stint in Europe (going by the name Kim Styles), Kim returned to the U.S. and joined forces with the New York-based MYNT. Singing on songs like “How Did You Know,” “Stay,” and “Back In Love” Kim solidified her place in my dance-music loving mind. After the MYNT album was released, she left the group…actually, to my knowledge, MYNT itself has since disbanded.
Sozzi is now signed to Ultra Records and is set to release her album, Just One Day on July 21st. The album is available as a digital download now on iTunes & Masterbeat, but if you want the physical CD – it’s out on Tuesday. Included on this album are some of her recent dance hits “Like A Star,” “Break Up,” “Alone” and her new hit single “Feel Your Love.” Check out this album preview on YouTube.
