An Anthem Defining Cultural Revolution…
LA JOLLA, CA, Oct. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Rainband Records with great pride and passion announces the much anticipated release of its dynamic new single "Hear Freedom Ring" written by founder Jim Stajdel. This riveting song was produced by Josquin de Pres at Track Star Studios and is now available on iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, CD Baby, and many other online music stores. Part of the proceeds from all downloads will go towards the Wounded Warrior Project. Also, look in the immediate future for it to incorporate lyrics in such international languages as Farsi and Arabic!
This is a revolutionary song which transcends cultural boundaries, religious mandates, and racial enslavement in order to use music as an instrument for social change, an agent for international unity, and as a means to promote peace in chaotic mid-east countries desperately seeking transformation.
It is a powerful melody that bespeaks to the survivors and victims of tyranny in their tireless journey towards freedom. "Hear Freedom Ring" is an anthem for a world-wide movement, a Middle Eastern revolution, and the human struggle against dictatorship; it's a song to empower and uplift no matter if you are Arab, Iranian, or American.
This optimistic freedom ballad hopefully will play a pivotal role in encouraging the world not only to "hear freedom ring" but to stand together and fight for one of the highest causes, human freedom. This song could become a voice for our generation; inciting important political changes worldwide, exposing social injustices, and relying on technology (the internet) to transform cultural connections and interactions.
Created as a response to the horrific injustices witnessed in recent uprisings in the Near East, this song captivates its listeners with remarkably honest and soulful lyrics which accompany a rhythmic sophistication of tremendous vocal versatility. It is sure to become a break-out hit all over the globe, with its melodic and skilled musicianship.
This release also serves as a re-launch for the Rainband Records label, promoting an innovative 21st century approach to running a record and music publishing company. When Jim Stajdel started his label in 1996, downloads, MP3 files, iPods, iTunes, and Facebook were nonexistent. Now, with the music industry undergoing its biggest technological transformation in history, Mr. Stajdel is seizing this perfect opportunity to utilize music in reuniting the world in its search for justice and freedom.
