LEJEND “THE QUOTE”

Lejend says about the new single. “I also wanted to speak on my current struggles and challenges and my attitude and approach to those issues, and let listeners know I have solutions for problems and that is what society is lacking currently. I want to make statements with my music. I heard the beat from J.Lew and it came together organically. When we started conceptualizing the video, we wanted something street level and raw representing the everyday gritty struggle of the common folks.” Ears & Eyes To The World drops fall in conjunction with his new T-shirt line Natural Selection.

CHRIS CORNELL REISSUES FIRST SOLO ALBUM

When GRAMMY-winning, GOLDEN GLOBE® nominated singer/songwriter and rock icon Chris Cornell was about to release his 1999 solo debut on Interscope/A&M/Geffen Records, he was dissuaded from his first choice for the title, Euphoria Mourning, and reluctantly dubbed it Euphoria Morning. Now, 16 years later, Universal Music Enterprises is correcting that admitted misjudgment, re-releasing the re-mastered album under its original name on August 14, for the first time on vinyl as well as reissuing digitally and on CD. Euphoria Mourning will be pressed on 180 gram vinyl and include a download card featuring 320 kbps MP4 audio ripped directly from the vinyl.

“The title of the record has been restored to its original spelling,” notes Cornell. “Which was changed before release after I listened to some bad advice.”
