BITTER:SWEET'S NEW CD, "The Remix Game" with FREE DOWNLOAD/TOURDATES!

Los Angeles--August 6, 2007-- Since the release of The The Mating Game in 2006, it’s hard to imagine a night on the town without the intoxicating electronica of Bitter:Sweet. Now, with The Remix Game, to be released August 7, 2007 by Quango Music Group, a handful of today’s best euphonious mixologists come together to offer their interpretations of the original album. Add to that an upcoming live show in a city near you, and you’ll be drinking from Bitter:Sweet’s mood enhancing cup well into 2008.

On this seductive trip-hop album, Bitter:Sweet’s debut The Mating Game is revamped by today’s top sonic impressionists. Many of the songs on this album are rare gems that have been available only on 12” vinyl or for digital download. Alloyed by the golden touch of musical alchemists like Thievery Corporation, AtJazz, Skeewiff, Nicola Conte, and Fort Knox Five; this torrid soundtrack will illuminate the night.

Bitter:Sweet combines the musical savvy of Kiran Shahani and the sultry vocals of Shana Halligan. Kiran emerged on the scene as a founding member of The Supreme Beings of Leisure. Signed to Chris Blackwell’s Palm Pictures, the band sold over a quarter million records worldwide. Shana is, of course, no stranger to the music industry. She has been a respected part of the Los Angeles music scene her whole life and grew-up in a household with father, Dick Halligan (Blood, Sweat & Tears). Together, Kiran and Shana have created Bitter:Sweet, one of the most seductive renditions of retro swank and hot beats since James Bond was Sean Connery.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COUNTRY SINGER/SONGWRITER KELLIE COFFEY RELEASES

MUCH ANTICIPATED NEW ALBUM “WALK ON”

Video Single “I Would Die For That” Exploding on YouTube

Over 70,000 Hits in Four Weeks

Los Angeles, CA- The Academy of Country Music’s Top New Female of 2003, Kellie Coffey, is back with a new independent album entitled “Walk On.” The follow-up release to her debut album, “When You Lie Next to Me,” was produced by Wayne Kirkpatrick (Little Big Town) and features 12 tracks, 11 co-written by Coffey. The video for the first single, “I Would Die For That,” is exploding on YouTube with over 70,000 hits in only four weeks.

“Walk On,” is the kind of deep introspective album that most artists aspire to make. “We wrote songs about our life experience and what moved us,” Coffey said of her co-writers. “It was probably the purest creative experience of my life.” The new album represents more than one dream come true; Coffey became pregnant and gave birth to her baby boy during the writing and recording of the album.

Coffey was inspired to write the powerful ballad “I Would Die For That,” because of her own struggles with infertility. The video is garnering attention from around the globe as couples relate to her heartfelt, thought provoking lyrics and soaring vocals. “I’ve been humbled by the response and stories I’ve been told. This song is giving a voice to women and couples who are struggling to have a baby,” said Coffey.

From the gospel tinged “Walk On,” to the playful and humorous “Everything She Never Wanted,” and “Bandwagon,” the album mirrors Kellie’s life. “Walk On” is a soulful anthem for overcoming adversity. “Everything She Never Wanted” is a funny take on a driven career woman who finds that being a wife and mom, the things she never wanted to be, are what she really wanted to be all along. “Bandwagon” takes a lighthearted look at the modern obsession of needing to be a part of the latest craze. From cellphones, to handbags, to designer coffees, to the latest diet, the lyrics make you laugh and think at the same time. With backing vocals by Dan Tyminski (Union Station, O Brother Where Art Thou) and a band made up of some of the best pickers in Nashville, this has the makings of an instant country classic.

The final cut on the album, “There You Go Again”, was recorded in one take. Almost unheard of in an age of computer assisted recording. Right after Kellie and co-writer/producer Wayne Kirkpatrick finished writing the song, they decided to cut a quick piano vocal demo. Months later when they were preparing to cut the master track, they listened down to the “demo” and decided not to touch the vocal or piano track they recorded in the inspired moments after writing the song. They simply called Jonathan Yudkin, Nashville’s premier fiddle player and violinist, to lay down a string quartet. The results are stunning.

Oklahoma native Coffey entered the country music scene in 2001 with her top 10 single, “When You Lie Next To Me,” which remained on the chart for over a year. Her album of the same name entered the country sales chart at #5. She followed that with the top 15 single, “At the End Of The Day.” Coffey toured with Kenny Chesney for over a year on his “Senoritas and Margaritas” tour and opened for Geroge Strait on his 2004 tour. She received a Top New Country Female American Music Award nomination, and the ACM win in the same category. She has appeared on multiple ACM, CMA and CMT Shows.

“Walk On” is available online at www.kelliecoffey.com, CDBaby.com, Amazaon.com, the iTunes Music Store and other download stores on the web.
