ACCLAIMED SINGER SONGWRITER BRANDON MCHOSE RELEASES NEW HEARTFELT BALLAD “GOODBYE” AVAILABLE NOW ON ITUNES!



August 28, 2012, Los Angeles, CA…After the success of his 2012 EP release, Late Night, independent singer/songwriter Brandon Mchose returns to the spotlight once again with his new radio single “Goodbye”.  Tugging on his fans heartstrings, Brandon lays it all on the table with this deep ballad “Goodbye” which is now available on iTunes. Accompanying Brandon’s newest single is the official video to the track and which can also be viewed on Brandon McHose’s YouTube Page.
Brandon McHose encompasses the word “multi-tasker” as he continues to tour, promote his recent EP, and prepare for his next EP release set for 2013. Somewhere in his busy schedule he found time to give his fans another single and music video which certainly lives up to his highly regarded reputation. Earlier this year Hellhound Music called Brandon “a bit of an anomaly, equally adept in finger-picking an acoustic guitar or in spanning the breadth and array of music”. Indie Music Digest states “the guitar work from McHose is masterful”.  Not taking the kind words lightly Brandon says that it is his goal to continue to surprise his already loyal fans.
Teaming up with fellow musicians Chris Maresh, Wayne Salzmann and David Boyle, Brandon recalls the recording session as relaxing, comfortable and a great place to produce something he is proud of.  Taking in the large ceilings, the vintage gear, and the musical energy of previous artists who have recorded there including Gavin Degraw and Justin Timberlake, Brandon was able to create “Goodbye” in just two days. He recalls the two days of recording by referencing the positive vibes of his band mates as well as the feel of an old historic church as the combination that created a touch so magical and special that is embedded into the recording.
A combination of blissful pop and rock guitar riffs and the emotional lyrics behind “Goodbye to You” make the track a memorizing ballad. Drawing the lyrics and emotion behind the song from a personal experience Brandon channels the energy into soaring vocals and hypnotizing harmonies. Shooting the newest video in the Church House Studios shows the softer side of McHose, with the simple white walls and high vaulted ceilings the video showcases the music and the artist.  Countering the deeper emotions of the song, the video has a refreshing feeling with light, space and positive energy. Stripping away the show aspects that often inundate the music industry, McHose shows his fan base how his music is truly created.
2012 has been a monumental year for Brandon McHose. With the release of Brandon’s EP, “Late Night”, resulted in success from radio, extensive touring opportunities nationwide and industry professionals raving about his latest recordings.  MuzikReviews.com called Brandon “an artist to watch” while the Examiner said the “world is ready for a new sensitive singer/songwriter”.  Brandon’s upbeat tracks and rocking vocals and consistent nonstop touring around the United States and frequent releasing of new music and singles are factors that set him apart from the traditional singer/songwriters of today and a talented musician and vocalist to be on the lookout for in the future.
