FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
The singer and songwriter from
California's Bay Area known as Simply Undrea has released her latest
EP record album, titled, “Gravitas.” The album is comprised of
seven original tracks for an approximate total listening time of half
an hour. The album has been released on the Darma Productions music
record label and includes the remarkable single, “Free.” Composed
entirely for guitar and vocals, “Gravitas” represents one of the
most pure music recordings of 2013, and the most significant official
release from Simply Undrea to date.
Simply Undrea cites as main artistic
influences such artists as Aaliyah, Arrows to Athens, Coldplay, Kyler
England, Japanese composer Nobuo Uematsu, and Japanese
singer-songwriter, Utada Hikaru.
“I got involved with music at an
early age because my mother helped cultivate the natural abilities
she saw within me,” writes Simply Undrea. “I gravitated towards
the stereo and the vinyl player that we owned, so she gave me a
cassette tape recorder. She taught me how to use it so that I could
sing to it and hear what I had taped. I quickly fell in love with it
and would sing Anita Baker songs into it often.”
“Gravitas,” the title of her new
EP, is defined as “dignity, seriousness, or solemnity of manner”
by Dictionary.com. This ambiance is present in Simply Undrea's record
in the form of carefully penned lyrics that evoke senses of human
togetherness, conscientiousness, and compassion. This style of
writing comes from her long history of exploring herself in the
literary arts.
“As I got older,” she comments, “I
started expressing myself through snippets of poetry. “My Mother
always encouraged me to put myself out there and to share what I had
written.”
As may seem intuitive, poetry was the
gateway that lead Undrea to music.
She writes, “After high school, I
became very dedicated to my craft and I started producing my own
instrumentals. Eventually those poems became full-songs and I’ve
been creating material and singing ever since!”
Simply Undrea's single, “I Thought,”
hit KPOO 89.5 FM's No. 1 chart position in San Francisco when she was
only 19.
“Gravitas” by Simply Undrea is
available online worldwide beginning 9 December 2013.
