Hey Friends, I'm proud to announce that my new album will be released to all the digital streaming platforms this summer on Tuesday September 21st 2021. The album is called ϕ (phi).

If you are a Spotify user, here is a pre-save link for the new album. Supposedly, having people pre-save the album and the singles, is very helpful for getting onto Spotify playlists, which would be a boon to its reach to new ears, so to speak—so I would be honored to have you do that, should your kind heart be so inclined:

SUNDAY September 26th 2021 - FULL BAND ALBUM RELEASE SHOW at Alex's Bar in Long Beach, CA at 8pm (more details coming soon—this is bonus info for the folks kind enough to read this far into my post; thank you for caring and for loving and supporting me).

Thank you to everyone who has been so kind and encouraging and who have requested for this live Youtube video to be on streaming music sites such as Spotify and Apple Music. I just uploaded the song today, so it should be available for streaming and purchase within the next few days on all major digital distribution outlets:

This video was WAY more work than I had originally anticipated. I mixed this myself. I know, it sounds simple. It's not—not if you're a perfectionist. I am a perfectionist. Which doesn't mean I got it perfect; it means I begrudgingly stopped working on it and that I read two books on the subject and that I spent 2 months working on it obsessively and that I did about 46 mixes of it. I will never be happy with what I did here, I fear (in the mixing department).

I AM thrilled about all the people who helped me to make this and I am thrilled that a song like this came out of me. It is one of the most popular tunes I have ever written.

4th Street Productions in Long Beach filmed the video. I can not thank you enough Damian. You are truly an artist. It was filmed live as we tracked the song live.

I am thrilled that I performed this with three other musicians who I feel are some of the best players on the planet: Frank Reina. Brad Cummings, and Tom Bremer. You guys are my musical brothers. Also, thank you to Ryan Lipman for mastering this mix of mine.

I am thrilled that Alfredo Cristinziano provided the cover art for this song. Here it is. You can find him on Instagram here: @alfredoziano

A lot of his work is very sexy. Be prepared for sexy.

Most of all, let me come around full circle and thank anyone and everyone for finding something to like in this and to those, who will, and are listening to it.

In so many way, you all remind me of a time where I would make something and then hope that my parents would proudly display it on the refrigerator. I am so thankful for the magnet between your ears if you are proudly displaying it on your refrigerator right now. God bless.

With Love,

Mike
