I hope everyone is having a great Thursday! I have had a bad headache all day long, so my day is not going very well in that way. Otherwise, it is good. So, I have ANOTHER giveaway for you today!!! Don’t forget to enter yesterdays blog contest if you have not already! That will be over on Saturday!!!
Here is the scoop:
I am so excited to share this wonderful CD that I had the opportunity to review! It is by the artist, Corneille, & his brand new album “The birth of Cornelius” (Motown Records). New York daily news names him as one of the hottest new stars for 2009.
So, of course, as soon as I received the package, I tore it open and put it into my cd player. I instantly fell in love with this music! It is kind of “jazzy” with touches of some good old R&B. His voice is very nice, very soothing. He sings about his life experiences, love and the heart. All things we can surely relate to!
His life story is AMAZING! He is originally from Rwanda. He scored a number of hits in Canada, France & Japan. “The Birth of Cornelius” is Corneille’s English-language debut! For his influences in music, he cites Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder & original Motown music. He is an inspiration to many. He is a Red Cross Canada spokesperson & has made a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador! (Soo cool!!) Corneille’s parents & other family members were killed in Rwanda during the genocide in 1994, and he alone, managed to escape. First to Kinshasa & then to Germany where he went to live with some family friends. If you would like to get to know Corneille better, please visit: www.corneillemusic.com. He is an amazing, strong man with a great voice and his music is truly an inspiration!
A message from Corneille:
“Music has been the place where I could go to hide and forget about the world. I couldn’t make sense of a majority of the things that happened to me, so I used music as a shield. But over time, music has become a vehicle to channel out everything that I’ve been keeping from myself for all these years. And the new album is definitely the most honest, real assessment of everything that’s happened in my life, because I’m not trying to hide as much.” –Corneille
And I really liked this too 🙂
“I look at America, and I see so much of who I am. “The identity confusion that I’ve been struggling with all my life is the same that most people here go through. When I think of America, the first thing that comes to my m ind is the sense that I might truly feel understood for the first time.”
“The Birth of Cornelius” is in stores now, from Universal Motown. It is the 50th Anniversary of Motown Records, so what a great year this is!
****WIN IT!!!!!!****
