(3 Customer Reviews)
Everything Changed is Abra Moore's first album in six years. The struggle to bring it to life -- from the shambles of another record deal and the tumultuous life occurrences addressed in its songs -- places it automatically outside the realm of the simple ambition required to advance one's career by issuing a new pop album. As such, it is necessary to forgo the standard critical language in addressing it, and to meet it on its own terms and speak its language: that of the human heart, exposed, raw, and desiring wholeness. What is contained within these 13 songs is something mercurial, enigmatic; in essence, it is a work of desire but not covetousness. These songs communicate directly to anyone who has ever experienced wholesale, soul-threatening brokenness and wears the exquisite scar that informs everyday life in its aftermath. Inside the album's booklet, on its first facing page, is a photograph of Moore either entering or emerging from kissing her image in a mirror. It contains no vanity or narcissism. Instead, it expresses honest, ego-less self-regard and beatific love. It is nearly holy in its expression, because it understands that in order to extend oneself to others, one has to accept and embrace the truth and beauty of her own countenance in frailty and vulnerability, as well as in strength and purpose. The music on this record fleshes out this archetype with spiritual and emotional depth and dimension. Moore worked with producer and multi-instrumentalist Jay Joyce on Everything Changed. The end result not only extended her aesthetic reach, but raised his creative watermark as well. Using everything at her disposal, including standard rock instrumentation, ornate strings, keyboard and percussion treatments, electronic beats and textures, and wonderfully subtle atmospherics, Moore strips the considerable quirky charm displayed on her earlier records to the bone; in its place is naked, tender, and sometime frightening emotion, presented with painstaking attention to detail and lush arrangements not to soften the impact, but to celebrate it fearlessly. Ultimately, everything on Everything Changed is a love song that reveals its many faces to be sure, but also its shadows. On "I Do," with its gorgeous cornet and piano intro, love is expressed as solidarity and faith. "No Fear" is love as invitat

Everything Changed album
$16.45 The Peacemakers are a collection of Hip Hop artist from Nashville Tennessee. We say that they are a group of conscious rappers, but actually The Peacemakers are the trail blazers of the next era in hip hop music. This record was commissioned by the community of Nashville, for communities across the whole nation. 'Let's End the Violence, Enough is Enough Volume I, is the very first installment of issue based hip hop (rap if you prefer). The Peacemakers are Paul Sweeney (P Sweeney), Lonnie Greenlee (Executive Producer) Daryll Hawkins ("Daryll Hawk"), Leslie Davis ("LO") and Micah Parkerson ("Mic Wheed"). Formally three solo artist. Drawn to the notion that the will of the people are changing and what the community wants to hear is just good music. The call was made by a well respected member of the community and community activist, Lonnie Greenlee (Executive Producer). Mr. Greenlee wanted to create a hip hop album that would start to inspire, educate and praise young black boys and girls again. Instead of the same ole rap he craved for a new spin on the words we delivered to our children and hip hop lover alike. So he asked several local hip hop recording artist to participate in what he has dubbed, 'Let's End the Violence Enough is Enough Become a Peacemaker Campaign". And creating (from scratch) an underground issued based rap album was the project. The call was made but only answered by the young men who now make up The Peacemakers ("rap group").The Peacemakers, however, are everyone in the community. Not just our community but your community as well. A Peacemaker is only a person (white, black, red, man, woman, child) who believes in peace, believes in equality, and believes in a simple Pledge: 'I pledge not to kill, I pledge not to steal, I pledge not rob, I Pledge not to destroy, I pledge to PROTECT and SERVE my community. ' This CD was birth out of the idea ...
