NEW YORK, September 19, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Alt-folk-pop singer-songwriter Rachael Sage has released a heartfelt new video for “No Regrets” from her new album, The Other Side (out via MPress Records). The video premiered in M Music & Musicians (US) and Music-News (UK). Inspired by a poem written by her Dad, who Sage credits for her love of music and joie de vivre, Sage collaborated with her father to write the ultimate homage to simple gratitude. As intimate as it is universal, “No Regrets” gives thanks for the many little things that define life in all of its beautiful and aching joy, featuring Jack Petruzzelli on guitar (Rufus Wainwright) and Russ Johnson on trumpet (Elvis Costello).

Watch the video for “No Regrets” HERE.

Directed by Nick Clark and filmed by Mike Flanagan, the video captures the bond between Rachael and her Dad as they enjoy the small things that make a life – strolling through Central Park, journaling together, savoring a cold drink, and simply reveling in a loved one’s company. Sage illustrates this in the lyrics: I love life – no take-backs/Ping-pong tables knowing all the facts/College buddies drinking ice cream floats/Coal Miner’s Daughter and The Rolling Stones. Familiar scenes of NYC’s skyline are the background to this simple story of an exuberant, ping-pong-filled, and happy day in the life of a father and daughter (both of whom are in cancer remission), sharing their passion for life and creativity.

Sage discusses the song, saying: “No Regrets is the first song I’ve ever written based on someone else’s poem, and that someone happened to be my wonderful Dad. He had written a few poetic lines on a little notepad while he was recovering from lymphoma, and they were so touching to me that I didn’t ask for permission – I just started immediately setting them to music. Thankfully his health returned fully within some months, and due in large part to music. I asked him what other things he’d like me to include in the song that inspired him the most, and the list was much longer than I could ever incorporate, but ultimately he was very pleased I focused on his friendships, his affection for ping-pong and Loretta Lynn – and his strong penchant for rhyming!”

Sage’s latest studio album is the most grounded of her illustrious career. The Other Side‘s 15 tracks of emotionally charged and intricately woven music recall the classic, retro-warmth of the ’70s and ’80s, and are as instantly hummable as they are lyrically poignant. With memorable Americana-infused pop hooks and folk-fueled poeticism, Sage’s timeless writing reminds us what’s most important is always worth waiting for, via songs steeped in just the right amount of best-is-yet-to-come optimism.

The digital album, vinyl and deluxe physical CD – featuring 12 paintings by Sage, photographs by renowned Studio 54 photographer Bill Bernstein, along with a Bonus Disc of alternate mixes – can be streamed/ordered at: mpress.lnk.to/TheOtherSide

An Immigrant Experience Through Poetry

MIAMI, September 14, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Released a month before Hispanic Heritage Month, Renzo Del Castillo’s “Still” is a collection of poems that reflects an all-too relatable tale for all immigrants.

After migrating to Florida from Peru as a child, Del Castillo built a life in a new country with a foundation forged in his native land, caught in the space between cultures. This led him to write “Still” [Indie Earth Publishing, $24.99], an exploration of the immigrant experience through reflections of memory and transition, an adaptation to new cultures and geographies through the ethnographic lens of Miami. His story, told in verse, is that of many immigrants.

“Still” is a collection of poems that focuses on the immigrant experience: a family’s journey from Lima, Peru to Miami, Florida as political refugees and asylum seekers and the impact that had on the life of a boy as he grew into a man.

“We left Peru when I was five because my family had received death threats from a terrorist organization. We went from being comfortable to starting from zero. I knew I would have to adapt to make a life worth living,” says Del Castillo.

As we enter National Hispanic Heritage Month, Still provides a read that is as timely as it is pertinent. With poems in three languages, the book looks to bridge the divide between cultures, highlighting Hispanics’ shared experience in his poetry. When the reader finds something to relate to in these pages, a dialogue starts and shows people aren’t that different underneath it all.

That heritage of terror and exile that sometimes underlies these poems gives them a sense of history within the lyric confusions of a single life. There is an intimate tone, used to remind the reader that imagination triumphs over, or sometimes through, adversity. “Still” was released July 30, 2023, and is available wherever books are sold (ISBN: 979-8988037996).

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Renzo Del Castillo holds a B.A. in English from University of Florida, specializing in Victorian Literature, and an M.A. in Mass Communications, specializing in Intercultural Communications. Del Castillo has been published in Literary Yard, the Acentos Review, the Scarlet Leaf Review, and the Ekphrastic Review. He lives in Miami, where his family also resides.

Designed and painted by acclaimed Philadelphia mural artist, Glossblack

TAMPA, Fla., September 14, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
The Motor Enclave (TME) unveiled Tampa Bay’s newest mural today, on the I-75 side of its 37,000 square foot Event Center just North of the I-4 interchange. The mural was designed and executed by prominent Philadelphia-based muralist Glossblack. Branded as the “Motomural,” the nearly 5,000 square foot mural is destined to become a landmark at this main interchange to Tampa and Orlando that sees over 142,000 vehicles a day.

The Motor Enclave founder, Brad Oleshansky, collaborated with Glossblack closely on the project, keeping it under wraps until painting began on September 1st. The mural features a combination of motorsports-themed iconography, vintage roadside references and a few related to Tampa history and culture. 

“The goal of this mural is to pay homage to many things at once; The Motor Enclave branding, classic Americana, motorsports, patina & graffiti elements, and of course a nod to Tampa. It’s a ‘favorite things’ mural for TME that speaks to how unique they are,” said Jimmy McMenamin of Glossblack. “Much of my artwork revolves around balancing color while creating building blocks that tell a larger story. I love all things typography, vintage signage, neon lettering, dynamic shadow/lighting, and retro Americana. For that reason, working with TME was the perfect fit.”

“I am thrilled to have this piece of the project come to fruition. It’s been a fun process working with Glossblack to make this project come to life,” said Oleshansky. “It’s been just as fun keeping the artwork a surprise for my team here at TME. But the wait is finally over and what better way to show off our soon-to-open Event Center.”

The Motomural is now visible for all to see on the West side of I-75 just North of the I-4 interchange.

In 2008, he created Glossblack, LLC as a way to offer his artistic skills to business owners, homeowners, corporations, etc. Glossblack’s client list is extensive, having provided wall art for the likes of Disney, Google, Comcast, Red Bull, Under Armour, 76ers, Eagles, Gap, Budweiser, & Dunkin.

New Series Underscores Christian Meditation as Integral to Focused Spiritual Life

LOS ANGELES, September 13, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Pray.com, the No. 1 app for prayer and faith-based content, is excited to announce the launch of “Meditative Prayers” with Dr. Tim and Zach Clinton, focused on combating common struggles, including mental health and relationship issues, with meditative prayer. The Clintons encourage listeners to join them for these meditative prayers that will “help you step out of the pit you may find yourself in and into the purpose and potential God has prepared for your life.”  

Mental Health issues are rampant among all sectors of society – including people of devout faith – and come in a variety of forms and degrees. And while one in five adults in the United States live with a mental illness, many do not receive the care they need. Studies have shown that prayer can be helpful with mental health issues, especially conditions such as mild stress or anxiety that aren’t categorized as serious mental illness. This new series underscores Christian meditation as an integral aspect of spiritual self-care, facilitating an unwavering focus on God’s divine presence and the timeless wisdom in His Word.

“When you learn to integrate spiritual disciplines into the most mundane moments of every day, the presence of the Lord gives you strength to overcome the struggles that once seemed impossible,” said series host Dr. Tim Clinton. “We believe that ‘Meditative Prayers’ will be a great tool to help restore peace of mind and center listeners’ focus on the problem solver rather than the problem.” 

Dr. Tim Clinton is a renowned therapist and president of the American Association of Christian Counselors, the largest and most diverse Christian counseling association in the world. His son Zach serves as vice president and is founder and host of the Built Different podcast. 

“I’m excited to be partnering with my dad on this project, as we each bring a different perspective to many of the issues affecting listeners across both our generations,” Zach said. “We are especially grateful to Pray.com for recognizing the need for this kind of content and working with us to produce such a quality project. We know it will be of immense help to everyone who hears it.” 

Some of the themes that will be addressed on the show include anxiety, relationships, anger, parenting, stress and 25 others. There are 210 episodes in the series – seven focused on each theme – releasing weekdays beginning this month. The topics and tone will resonate with both men and women and across all ages. “Meditative Prayers” seeks to lift some of the burdens people are carrying, providing spiritual care aligned with common struggles, taking a holistic approach to renewal of mind, body and spirit.   

“We are honored to release ‘Meditative Prayers,’ enriched by the profound insights and expertise of Dr. Tim and Zach Clinton,” said Pray.com VP of Content Max Bard. “This series applies biblical wisdom and spiritual disciplines to draw listeners closer to God, build on relationships, and improve mental health.”

In addition to “Meditative Prayers,” Pray.com hosts podcasts from leading Christian pastors and speakers, daily prayers and Bible-based resources to aid listeners wherever they may be in their spiritual growth journeys.
