| Judy Wright Releases '21st Century' Nashville recording artist Judy Wright releases '21st Century' . Judy Wright is an independent artist who has received international acclaim for her debut CD, Kiss Me A Lot (1999). Wright's musical style embraces country, jazz, blues, and rock. Wright will release her follow up album to Kiss Me A Lot in the fall of 2006 Author of the words Carrie Criado penciled her thoughts on paper. She then teamed up with good friend, Nashville singer/songwriter Judy Wright and together they collaborated on '21st Century.' It is a haunting song about conflict and uncertainty and yet the ray of promise that resides in children. "I was moved by Carrie's words, " said Wright, "and knew I could find just the right sound to capture and deliver the message." Wright cut '21st Century' as a demo, performed it live at her shows and went around pitching it to record labels, but back in 1999, the song didn't seem to click. Seven years later, Wright has decided to release '21st Century' as her latest single because she believes it will strike a chord today. "It's about a time of crisis, yes, but the song is also about possibilities and that's a good thing, " said Wright. Now living in Texas, Criado says she's just like many who are trying to make sense of all the events happening in the world. "Watching the news can be a little overwhelming at times. I hope the song will bring people comfort in the days ahead, " said Criado. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
