For
almost three decades, Martha Wash's distinctive, powerhouse voice has guided
some of pop and dance music's biggest hits straight to the top of the charts -
from the perennial classic "It's Raining Men" to #1 Billboard hits
like "Everybody, Everybody" and "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody
Dance Now)."
Considered
to be one of the music industry's most respected artists, the legendary singer
recently reclaimed her position on the top of the charts with her last single
"I'm Not Coming Down." The song quickly shot up the Billboard Dance
Chart to the #2 position. In fact, since its release last year, the Something
Good set has generated three well-received singles, including the stirring
ballad and lead single "I've Got You." Following the success of the
album's previous singles, "Dream On" promises to continue that hot
streak and has already been picked up by online outlets and mainstream radio
stations nationally and internationally and is rapidly gaining traction.
Ms. Wash
says "Dream On" is indicative of the direction she chose to take with
the entire album. "I am so proud of Something Good, because it really
showcases my versatility," says the vocalist. "I'm giving you the
dance flavor, but I'm also giving you pop, soul and a little Aerosmith…all
Martha-ized. It's been 20 years since people have heard new music from me, so I
am trying to reach everyone with this one. I want them to see how I've grown
musically."
She
continues, "This album is also special because it signifies the first
official lift-off for Purple Rose Records. My vision for this label is to
provide an opportunity, not only for my own music to be heard, but for other
artists who need a platform as well. This is me moving my career to the next
level"
Purple
Rose Records is slated to release a plethora of new music in early spring of
2015, including singles from the First Ladies of Disco (Linda Clifford, Evelyn
Champagne King & Martha Wash) and Bill Wadham (lead vocalist of 80's pop
band Animotion).
