HOLIDAY ALBUM “WHEN YOU’RE IN LOVE AT CHRISTMAS TIME” AVAILABLE NOW

November 13, 2012 (Los Angeles, CA):  Living legend Walter "Bunny" Sigler continues to share songs that prove his passion for music goes well beyond his beloved soul songs.  Bunny’s songwriting for tracks like Instant Funk's "I Got My Mind Made Up", Patti Labelle's "Somebody Loves You Baby", The Whispers' "Bingo", Jackie Moore's "Sweet Charlie Babe" and The O'Jays "Sunshine" are what put him on the musical map.  Not only is Bunny skilled with the pen, but he is also a world-renowned singer bringing his warm, powerhouse vocals to the holiday season.  His newest album, When You're In Love At Christmas Time, showcases Sigler's musical gift to make any song jingle with a commanding soulful flare.

This soul-stirring album features twelve classic Christmas tracks like "Ave Maria", "White Christmas" and the single, "Little Drummer Boy".  One of Bunny’s favorite holiday tunes, "Little Drummer Boy" showcases his laid-back and soulful sound.  Bunny's rendition brings to mind an oversized chair, a roaring fire and eggnog in hand.  Sigler knows how to set the scene for Christmas.

"O Holy Night", another popular track, finds Sigler delivering his signature vocal style on the sacred song. "I've been singing 'O Holy Night' all my life", Sigler says. "I knew that if I ever planned to record a Christmas song, it would be 'O Holy Night,'" he shares.  Each song is perfectly executed and sure to have all its listeners in the holiday spirit.

This Philadelphia native began his singing career in churches all over the metropolitan area with songs like "O Lord My God" and "The Lord's Prayer".  When You’re In Love At Christmas Time shows that it's more than just the music that captivates his heart; it's a testimony of his relationship with Jesus Christ.  "I'm in this for real," says Sigler. "Although I've sung urban music, I never stopped singing sacred music. For me, it's all about ministry."

Bunny Sigler is a rare breed of pure talent. His the holiday album When You're In Love At Christmas Time will be penned as a timeless Christmas classic and it will certainly be a repeat album for many seasons to come.

“Music should bring pleasure, it should be elegant and relaxing. I want people to fall in love and make babies as they listen to my songs. It’s all about friendship, pleasure, romance, love and beauty.”

November 20, 2012 (Los Angeles, CA): This Canadian singer-songwriter is a breath of fresh air emerging with a Latin flair from a cultured background, distinguishing herself from contemporary artists. Joining forces with Mark Portmann, known for working with Michael Buble and Barbara Streisand, Roxanna has produced a polished and luxurious rich sound.  Her upcoming album release will provide a seamless, mastered mix of adult contemporary, classic pop, world, and a taste of flamenco.  Her first single though provides a little preview of Roxanna’s sultry vocals that make her truly “unforgettable”.

“Unforgotten” takes you on a personal journey of an empathetic story, with her accompanied music video. Featuring Days of Our Lives actor, James Scott, the direction perfectly fits with the dramatic storyline and emotional lyrics.  Roxanna teamed up with industry pros producer Matthew Rolston, credited for working with Michael Jackson, Beyonce, and Jewel -- the video transports you back to the stylish 50s. Just from the first few bars of music, you’ll be mystified by the music…the guitar rhythm invites you to continue to listen to this story she is singing to you.  This song is truly universal, anyone that has experienced heartbreak will be able to identify with the message.

Roxanna entered into the music world wanting to pay homage to Julio Iglesias (even covering his song “Como Tu” for the first time heard in the English version “Only You” on her album Exotica due out February 26, 2013).  Spain and the country’s music also inspired Roxanna in what she wanted to achieve creatively.  Because of her love for Spanish culture, she has decided to release an alternate Spanish version of the single “Unforgotten” titled “Para Siempre.”
