Written by MS P
At last, having waited for what seems like years, trawling through demo C.D’s attending gigs in pubs and back rooms of social man’s clubs at least Britain’s untouched raw talent has surfaced in the shape of Irene Aserie, a perfect example of the many talented singer songwriter / musicians the UK has to offer, but alas due to bureaucracy within the industry we rarely get to hear in the main forum. Thanks to Hit Hot productions Birmingham, Irene steps forward to take claim her rightful place on the British Music Industries main stage
Irene Aserie is one of Britain’s newest neo-soul singers to take the industry by storm. Irene hails from Birmingham in the Midlands, has just released her debut album marking a huge step in the career of this multi-talented singer-songwriter.
The album “State of the Heart” of eleven original songs form Irene, plus 3 bonus tracks, each drawing on various influences from the past, many unexplored by other artists.You will hear tracks reminiscent of the Isley Brothers, of Jimi Hendrix of classical music, of cool jazz, 60’s pop, Motown and Philly soul. Irene’s heartfelt vocals float above the music expressing her innermost emotions in a rare display of honesty. The album was recorded at Hit Hot production studios in Birmingham. It was produced by Chris Hytch founder of Hit Hot productions, and Birmingham’s answer to impresario Simon Cowell .
The theme of the album underlies the changes that Irene has gone through over the recent years, the biggest of which being the changes within her own circle of family and friends. These changes have allowed her to explore fresh sounds, and develop her musical styles and vocal abilities.
Irene, is a versatile young lady , who whilst studying full time to become a broadcast journalist , has managed a music career alongside being a dedicated wife and mother to two young children.
Irene started writing songs at the young age of 14, and went on also at a young age to become an actress, performing onstage at venues which include the MAC, The Rep and Ending burgh’s Fringe Festival. She has sung at venues and show cased right across the Midlands and as far abroad as St Kitts and Nevis and can regularly be heard on the “One Love” showcase which she also hosts.
Television appearances include the BBC as a reporter on popular Children’s TV programme “Why Don’t You”, as a contestant on “Facing the Music” hosted by vocal coaches Carrie and David Grant, and as a finalist on MTV’s Hugo Urban Rules.
Irene has said of her work, “I try to write music that has a clear and concise message, something that everyone can relate too. I feel its time for real music to make a comeback to the mainstream. The time has come for true musicians like my self to grasp the platform to share their music and entertain positively.
From the age of 14, I have written songs to soulful melodies that speak to the heart, mind and soul. “Since then, my style has developed and I’ve incorporated other sounds and genres which have all made their way into “State of the Heart”. The album is a reflection of my inspiring influences over the years and the changes that I have experienced recently in my life.
Irene refuses to restrict her influences to one genre. Instead, saying she has been influenced by numerous artists and genres of music from across the globe, including India Arie, Bob Marley , Lauryn Hill, Aretha Franklin, Beverly Knight and Stevie Wonder to name but a few.
Fans, and indeed those new to the name Irene Aserie are encouraged to visit Irene’s Myspace website, which provides all you need to know about this young singer songwriter. You can also sign up to her mailing list and be privy to information regarding upcoming gigs and new releases first.
