Robert Lauri and Mitch Hiller: Release of the Single Oh No - Extract of a New Album

    PARIS, FRANCE, January 27, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Oh No is the new single from a new album to be released in summer. The single will be available in mid February on the main downloading sites.

This is not the first time that Robert Lauri and Mitch Hiller have joined forces. They have known each other for a long time and decided to pool their talents and creativity once again to bring us Oh No. This is the first track of a series of new songs on the album which will be out in summer.

On this album, Robert Lauri is the composer, arranger and performer, and Mitch Hiller the lyricist. Their pooled talents have yielded pure magic. Very present, almost spellbinding, Robert Lauri's voice is like a key that opens the door to an authentic and original world created by Mitch Hiller's lyrics. Furthermore, Robert Lauri's look in the video by Anna Clara Passarelli bolsters the overall effect. The mystery and suspense emanating from the clip empower Oh No to move the soul.

Robert Lauri has been a writer, composer and performer from a very young age. He has penned several hits throughout a long career which spanned ten years at Warner France. He has performed at the most prestigious international venues such as the Zenith, Olympia and Palais des Congres in France, and has also taken part in the Telethon in the US and Canada. Robert Lauri is an eclectic musician with an international aura. He has mastered a wide variety of musical genres and his musical creativity seems to have no bounds. His sensitivity and openness to the world and to others make him a visionary melodist. He is ever prolific and treats us regularly to the range of his creative force. The diversity and wealth of his musical creations were much in evidence in 2011. The albums Western and Country and Power in Heaven were widely acclaimed and confirmed both his major musical talent and his capacity to innovate without respite. Every title is a passport to a new destination... to another world.

Mitch Hiller has written more than two hundred recorded songs. He has performed throughout Europe, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, the Caribbean and the US. He has also worked as vocal coach and/or as a singer for major labels such as EMI, Sony (Epic and Columbia), WEA, Polydor, as well as for other labels in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and the United States. He has worked in particular as a singer for such producers as Gus Dugeon, Chris Neil and Martin Ware. He has sung and arranged vocals on TV shows like Spitting Image, kytv and Heartbeat. He has performed on a number of cartoons including the long running 'Wisdom of the Gnomes" which was shown in the UK, U.S.A, Canada, Australia and other English speaking territories. Mitch Hiller has also worked on recordings and/or live works for internationally renowned artists as Don Myrick and Louis Saterfield of Earth Wind and Fire, Chicken Shack, Chaka Khan, Billy Ocean, Luis Miguel as well as playing guitar, piano and singing with The Foundations for a number of years.

The Oh No clip was created by a talented Italian artist, Anna Clara Passarelli. This is not the first video editing she does for Robert Lauri - far from it. What is different this time is that she has also taken the photos that she uses in it. The atmosphere that this video exudes is perfectly in tune with the song and strengthens the mysterious world created by the music and lyrics. All the music videos by Anna Clara Passarelli cover the songs featured on Robert Lauri's websites in harmony. The Oh No clip showcases Anna's talent again.
