of Debut Album "Of Light and Angels"
(Hollywood, CA) Nigerian-born singer-songwriter Gloria Maduka launches "Love
Illusion" ahead of her debut album "Of Love and Angels." The
album is an eclectic mix of alternative rock, pop, reggae, and soul, with her
unique style of delivery blending all the tracks on the album together.
The ‘Of Light and Angels’ album is a testimony that anyone can
go as far as they can dream. The first single release from the album, ‘Love
Illusion’, has already been heard across airwaves. Maduka chose as a first
single ‘Love Illusion’ based on feedback from fans who stated that
the song spoke directly to their own personal situations. It has a simple but
powerful message throughout the lyrics: matters of the heart are to be taken
seriously as it is easier to fall in love than to fall out of it. Maduka wanted
her debut single to be one that her fans would fall in love with.
“It is a very personal album that speaks about life and love experiences”
– Said Maduka. “The assortment of the stories contributes to the
overall vibe of the album. The songs have been a work-in-progress for many years
as I traveled through my own journey of life to develop an album that my fans
would be able to identify within their own experiences.”
Maduka, who has formed The Gloria Maduka Foundation, an organization created
exclusively for charitable purposes to aid helpless children, the elderly and
individuals with physical and mental limitations, has developed a unique trademark
which is enhanced by her ability to also write and sing in Yoruba and Spanish.
Her techniques with the conga, bongo, and djembe among other percussion instruments
set her apart from other female artists. Consequently, her passion for percussion
has been infused into her music and is heard throughout her music.
Aside from her impending album and single releases, Maduka has performed a
special song ‘Into The Light’, for the soundtrack of the horror
movie ‘Mansion of Blood’ starring award winning actors Gary Busey,
Robert Picardo and Terry Moore set to be in theatres worldwide October 2011.
