May 18, 2021 Boca Raton, Florida…FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE….
Today,
Southern Florida Singing sensation and Songwriter Leiza Michaels announced the
release of NuevosEstándares, the Spanish version of her2020 classic “New
Standards”. She and Starburst Records
also announced they will be hosting a CD Release Party at The Pavilion Grille
in Boca Raton, Florida on Sunday, June 27 from 6:00-9:00 PM.
Both Leiza
and Jay Carney, Founder/CEO of Starburst Records are huge fans of the old Jazz
Standards. During the summer of 2019
they collaborated on a collection of six brand new songs that embody the vibe
and style of popular songs from the Great American Songbook, exemplifying songs
by such luminaries as Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Irving Berlin and many
other composers that had hit songs from Broadway Musicals. They recorded the
first English version of this album in Nashville in January of 2020 and have
followed up in 2021 with a re-write of each song in Spanish being released on over
40 music streaming platforms on Friday, May 28. The songs on “New Standards”
have been streaming globally since mid-2020.
They can be heard on Spotify, Itunes, Amazon Music Plus as well as all
major digital streaming sites. This album, “NuevosEstandares” however has been
released early exclusively on Bandcamp at starburstrecords.bandcamp.com. Leiza & Jay enlisted the talent of
Enrique Duarte of Mexico to translate this great collection of songs into
Spanish, which he accomplished with elegance capturing the depth and meanings
in a new prose!
New York
Native, Leiza Michaels has been performing Jazz Standards &Popular songs
from The Great American Songbook for many years throughout Europe & the USA
and most recently throughout Southern Florida over the past 10 years. When we composed these songs we also felt
this was the perfect genre of music to further important social causes. The song
Pure White Snow is an homage to Billie Holiday focusing upon on the struggle this
gifted artist had with drug addiction, an addiction that faces many and can
hinder progress through life. Also our
songs Charm Me and Natural focus upon spousal abuse, eradicating violence
against women and forced marriages. The
greatest “crowd pleaser” of the album appears to be Some Kinda Girl/Chica
especial owing to it coming into closest proximity to modern pop of the album’s
songs. Leiza was especially excited
about rerecording her CD in Spanish so she could connect with her Latin
heritage.
Here are the
titles of each song:
