| Arden Kaywin Releases Debut CD  Los Angeles singer/songwriter Arden Kaywin releases Debut CD, “Quarter Life Crisis” February 21, 2006 (PEGA Records). Kaywin is that rare combination of a gifted songwriter with the vocal talent to match. Her songwriting abilities have a top 40 sensibility while maintaining honesty and a depth of lyrical insight. Kaywin’s musical style is often compared to Alanis Morissette, Kelly Clarkson and Sarah McLachlan while maintaining an original sound and integrity of her own. All songs from Quarter Life Crisis were written by Kaywin and are an ode to her personal exploration of the questions many post college graduates ask themselves after being thrust into the real world, only to realize that it is not what they expected.The CD was produced by Rudy Haeusermann ( Lisa Marie Presley, Kimberly Locke ) and mixed by Grammy nominee Rob Jacobs ( Shakira, Alanis Morissette, Bon Jovi ). The opening track, “Me With Me, ” was nominated for Pop Song of the Year by the Independent Music Awards and has been featured on the WB Network’s new hit show, “Related.” Recently, Arden was chosen by Napster to be part of their Artist in Residence program and was also the featured artist on Napster’s Pop page, making her the first unsigned artist to have been given such exposure on Napster. Over the past year Kaywin has performed at local venues around southern California and has graced the stage of landmark venues such as House of Blues, The Mint, Hotel Café, and The Viper Room. She recently made her New York City debut to a packed house at the popular Living Room nightclub in the East Village. Arden is currently preparing for her US tour in support of Quarter Life Crisis with tour dates to be announced soon. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
