You can listen now to the first song of the Metamorphosis Birthday Series. In this case is I Wanna Fly, produced by Frankie Biggz and with lyrics by Frankie, Amy Hartwig and myself. This song is absolutely my favorite of the album, because it's very dear to me, talks about my struggles in Spain doing this kind of music. Not to mention that this song has a sample from my dear friend Jeff Lorber, from his song "Rain Dance". Also very beautiful because it has quotes from radio shows and podcasts that I was at. Here you have the lyrics of the song. Enjoy!

I WANNA FLY

(J. Lorber, F. Lucio, I. Bauzá, A. Hartwig)

Here's a little story I've got to tell you

About the time my dreams almost fell through

Negativity all around me had me thinking

I could never make it

Always took it as a lesson to me

To only deal in reality

'Cause no one would ever wanna take a chance on me

SEGWAY

And so I fantasize and metamorphosize

Thinking of ways that I could turn it around

And this is all that I wanna do right

I just can't let this feeling go

Something's telling me is now or never so

CHORUS

I wanna fly

I wanna fly and touch the sky

I wanna be a butterfly and just fly

I wanna fly I wanna

Spread my wings and let the wind take me so high

Because'

Life in Spain back then seemed hopeless

I was afraid, all alone and helpless

And even when I tried to ask some questions

Everybody had the same old answers:

'You're too white for this, too fat for that

You're from Barcelona, What's up with that?'

It became pretty obvious I had to room to dream

SEGWAY

CHORUS

It doesn't matter where I go

People all around me will

Have their own opinions

If I look to God I know

He will make a way for me to fly

CHORUS (x2)

Hiii!!

The thing is I don´t have much to tell you guys, but I would like to write you once a week to tell you little things that happen in my artistic life... is that cool?

For some reasons that we won't discuss here we had to say goodbye to our old guitar player and hello to Jason Davis, our new guitar and member of our improved band, The Music.  We are working on a new show for these next dates in March (I still don't know concrete dates, but as soon as I do I will let you know for sure!). We are adding some more covers and I have to learn all these crazy lyrics, oh no! LOL!

More news, Metamorphosis turned 1 year old last Wednesday, so we are trying to set a "birthday listening party" in the next few weeks, I will let you know about it as soon as we know something... Seems like crazy that it's been a year already since we were in London, wow! Time flies! To celebrate I am gonna give you something as well,  each week for this month and March I am going to be uploading one by one the songs of  "Metamorphosis" that didn't make it to be singles to Reverbnation & Myspace. Starting next Monday February 8th with ¨I Wanna Fly¨. Plus, I will be sending you the lyrics so you can follow as well. This way those who don't have the album will be able to listen to it and maybe decide to buy it !

That's all for now guys, lots of practice, recording and more... By the way, for those artists that read me, my producer Frankie Biggz, is offering FREE and constructive critiques for new artists. So if you're an artist, producer or have a band and want to have a proffesional opinion about your songs, go ahead! Don't be shy and submit your song/s at  www.musicxray.com!

Here you have a list of the radios that have added my music lately:

- IKnowJimbo (USA) - Listen live on Monday, February 22nd.

- WestsideWill (USA)

XOXOXO,

Hello everbody:

I know that I've been lost for a looong time, but weeks fly when you're busy! Between coming back to the US and having to deal with the jet lag, plus recording new projects and my car dying... it's been almost a month, I'll try not to repeat this behaviour, LOL...

We have a lot of new projects, first the recording of my new album, and at the same time we just  signed with the booking agency D. Bailey Management to help us giging around the US. So we are going to be visiting every Blue Martini around... So last week all the band discussed new material for our live shows, like new cover tunes so everybody can dance and sing when they come see IreneB & The Music.

Plus, last week we were recording, and no, I am not talking about my album, but I cannot reveal much about this... just telling you we have a couple interesting collaborations in a legend's album!

More news, Mr. Trey Mills was here in Orlando, you might remember him because he produced my second single, 'Are You The One For Me?', plus he's worked for people like Michael Jackson, Brian Mcknight, Boyz II Men, etc. . We had the opportunity to hang out with him and talk a little bit more about this new record, and surprise! He already has more songs on the way... so ir you liked  'Are You The One For Me?' get ready, we have more coming!

Luckily, the cold is gone in Florida, we got to like under 30, that is a lot for the Sunshine State! Can you believe it?  Now it's sunshine again and I can go jog outside in the morning, because I really hate it when in the treadmill... so boring!!

Anywayz, not a lot more to tell you guys, here you have a little article that they wrote about me, even though they say I'm brazilian... LOL! Just a mistake, no problem!! I wish I could dance like brazilians!! 

- Latin Jazz's Freshest Face: IreneB

Last but not least, here you have the podcasts & radios that added me lately:

- Fuxyz Radio (Spain)
- IKnowJimbo (USA)
- Latina Ladies Entertainers by Saul Barbosa (Texas, USA)
- WestsideWill (USA)
