Only Yesterday

Seems like only yesterday

We met each other, found our way

Life it happens, we all change

A new day has come, turn the page

You know I’ll miss you

Remember all we’ve done

Look at us

Go for bust

Chapter one

CHORUS:

It’s not the end

Let’s not pretend

Come what may

It’s graduation day

As we move on, remember the best

Take my email, text me, yes!

Life it happens, we all change

A new day has come, turn the page

You know I’ll miss you

Recall what we’ve been through

Now all new

Deadlines due

Chapter two

Music artist Jerri Bokeno releases new single on Young Pals Music

will be available on iTunes on Valentine’s Day!!

Dance/Pop singer/songwriter Jerri Bokeno is releasing the deliriously ambient track “My Love Is Yours” on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2012, on Young Pals Music. The new song, perhaps her most sultry record to date will premiere simultaneously on radio and all digital music platforms.

The haunting, sensuous song was produced by Ayhan Sahin, whose credits include projects with five “American Idol” finalists and productions with such superstars as Olivia Newton-John, Sandra Bernhard, and Sezen Aksu.

Written by Bokeno, Susanne White and Sahin, it pledges never-ending love with poetic refrains sung and spoken in French and English. These three successful songwriters have joined forces to create another potential hit that universally speaks to lovers the world over.

Jerri Bokeno has collaborated and worked with superstars ranging from Phil Spector to Cher. She has served as lead vocalist for numerous dance groove groups, including El Coco, Downtown Girls and Coney Island Chorus Girls, as well as a featured vocalist for jazz aficionado David Benoit. She is thrilled to be working with Young Pals Music and looks forward to future singles and collaborations with producer and owner, Ayhan Sahin.

An accompanying music video lensed by Christopher Holmes/Holmeswood Features will showcase Bokeno in the upcoming months.

Sahin founded independent label Young Pals Music in 2007, working with international artists across the globe. Over the past five years, Young Pals has recorded, produced and released a half-dozen full-length projects for Canadian chanteuse Karine Hannah, as well as Chilean-American singer/songwriter Promis, “American Idol” Season 8 finalist Norman Gentle (the YouTube sensation “Bitch Slap”), Puerto Rican actor/singer Mitch Zorba, French artist Lybert Ramade, Russian artist Tinatin, Turkish singer/musician Emre Yilmaz and MTV “Making the Band” finalist Adam Shenk.

UPCOMING: “Swedish Style” The Musical Cast Album

Young Pals Music will release a 14-song double-disc cast soundtrack for “Swedish Style: The Musical,” inspired by the captivating tale of the break-up of Swedish super group ABBA—a lesser-known but all-important chapter in the quartet’s fabled history.

For a decade starting in 1972, ABBA released eight studio albums and a staggering 73 hit singles. In all, Benny, Björn, Frida and Agnetha have sold more than 370 million albums around the world. But all good things come to an end, and ABBA’s demise was sullied with divorce between the two couples, internal strife and ultimately, dissolution.

The dramatized theatrical production—set in the early 1980s and rapt with love, loss, friendship, heartbreak and the penance of ultimate artistic immortality—illustrates the saga of beloved pop group Opus 10’s demise, following the break-up of the quartet’s two couples. Manager Anna pleads with members Reno, Rita, Kurt and Karla to deliver a final album that propels them beyond their “bubble gum” legacy and insures legendary status in the pop pantheon. Ultimately, the group’s primary nemesis turns out to be staring them in the mirror, as they strive to conjure their original magic one more time and achieve “immortality.”

“Swedish Style” was written by Ayhan Sahin and Selcen Pamuk.

The first disc comprises a full-cast vocal production featuring a 14-member cast; while the second is instrumental-only. The 13-piece band offers a robust palette of keyboards and piano; electric, classical, flamenco and acoustic guitars; percussion, bass, violin, cello, flute and sax.

PROMIS HAS A NEW MUSIC VIDEO: “Lovesick”

Jose Promis is a Chilean-born singer/songwriter who resembles and is inspired by the troubadours of the old world, while staying firmly rooted in the 21st century. He began in the cabarets and independent theaters of Los Angeles in the mid 00s and has gone on to play throughout Europe.

“Lovesick” from the Promis album “Love Stories.” Written by Jose Promis and Ayhan Sahin, video shot and edited by Sissy Debut. Shot at Los Angeles County Museum Of Art (LACMA), as well as the Other Side cabaret in Silver Lake, Los Angeles. The original version of “Lovesick,” featuring the siren-esque vocals of Karine Hannah, appears on the Promis album “Life is Grand!” This piano ballad version, as well as an electro-R&B remix by Ian Matthews, appear on the album “Love Stories.” Enjoy!

Karine Hannah sings “New Year’s Eve At Home”

Karine Hannah sings “New Years At Home,” an uptempo frolic that lyrically concludes that despite all glamorous invitations, there’s no better way to turn the annual page than snuggling with that special someone. Here’s a song and an artist that will brighten the holidays from this year forward. From the collection “Breaking For The Holidays” released by Breaking Records in 2007.

Written by Bernadette O’Reilly, Chuck Taylor and Ayhan Sahin.
