Andrew Morstein Releases 'Honeybee and Other Love Songs' on SuperStar Records

    NASHVILLE, TN, January 21, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Andrew Morstein is regarded worldwide as a soul-inspired, classically trained vocal powerhouse. Upon graduation from the prestigious Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, a well received PBS special and global tours with the noted acapella group Gentlemans Rule, Morstein has focused his energies on a new solo EP. Digging into Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Etta James and the Stax Records of the 60's and 70's, Andrew gravitated his passion from Opera (as a Bel canto Tenor) to soul.

After 2013's successful KickStarter campaign, producing a classically driven EP called The Runaway, Andrew began seeking something different and edgier. After two years of experimenting, writing, and recording in Nashville, Andrew and his team hand-selected five songs to feature on his debut EP on SuperStar Records (SSR) of Nashville.

The EP features a new soulful arrangement of the Winwood classic "I'm a Man", to a beautiful rendition of Billy Vera's love song "At This Moment", to the Steely Dan-inspired "Blurred Vision" co-written and produced by Joe Vitale, a potential AAA radio tune for the summer of 2016, "I Made a Promise" by Tom Whall, and the EP's signature love ballad, Honeybee, written by Andrew. Reviewers and Adam Lambert fans have noted that Andrew's vocals on the cut Honeybee are eerily reminiscent of Queen's great Freddie Mercury.

This project entailed writing and working with top musicians including: Joe Vitale (The Eagles, CSN and Joe Walsh), keyboardist Billy Nobel (Tim McGraw), bassist David Santos (John Fogerty, Neville Brothers, Billy Joel, CSN), multi-instrumentalist Greg Mayo, the soul-inspired Jack Mack Horn section led by Bill Bergman, guitarist Justin Kalk, and guitarist, bassist and the EP's Executive Producer, John Heithaus, for SSR/Nashville.

Drummer, co-writer and co-Producer Joe Vitale adds: "Andrew delivers a taste of what will come of his budding career with a new sound that brings a nice edge, vivid colors, and noticeable vocal heat to the genre, while staying true to the powerful instrumental and vocal dynamics often found in America's best soul music."

A Facebook fan said it best: "(Andrew) brings to mind Gavin DeGraw and the Door's Jim Morrison. Being in league with these gentlemen is praiseworthy in my book. Can't wait to see Andrew on stage with the Jimmies Kimmel and Fallon! "

Honeybee and Other Love Songs is available at Andrew Morstein's Official Website and iTunes and other online retailers including Amazon, Google Play, JB-HIFI (Japan's largest online music retailer), Spotify, Shazam, Tidal and eMusic.

SuperStar Records/Nashville partners with emerging and experienced artists to monetize and bring their music to the world by leveraging today's technology, fan base building and social media.
