I just released the first single from my mixtape which is a response to Trey's song.. called Neighbors Know My Name Part 2 - feat Trey Songz and the feedback has been incredible!!!!

I'm feeling really blessed right now. I got a chance to meet a few of my idols and mentors in the business. Let's start with the Man himself, Mr. Motown, Mr. Berry Gordy Jr. What an incredible honor it was to meet and talk to him; A true music Pioneer. I also had the distinct honor to finally meet the most powerful woman in the music business today, another trailblazer and true music industry pioneer Ms Sylvia Rhone, current President of Universal Motown Records. She shared quite a few pointers with me being a female in this male dominated business that I will definitely take heed to. I look forward to working closely with her over the next several years as I finally launch my career this year as a SRC/Universal Motown Recording Artist. I truly believe this is my break out year! I have so many Great records done and have already worked with so many great song writers and producers on my project. I know that I have an great album and the feedback has been incredible; I just can't wait for the world to hear it. I hope to be meeting with my label this month to finally turn it in and to officially launch my first single. We want it to be this huge R&B Ballad called "Jaded" produced by the Lab Ratz. A female anthem that both men and women will be able to relate to and it showcases my vocal ability that will separate me from any other female singer out there.. LOL! <br />
<br />
My Buzz Single feat Maino called Love Don't Fail Me is at 2.1 Million plays on myspace and my total plays are at 6.2 million. I think that's great, what do y'all think ? Hit me back and let me know<br />
<br />
What else .. hmm.. Oh I'm lining up a few dates for a small European tour as an opening act real soon. They say they absolutely love my voice over there because I'm a "Real Singer" with a big voice.. <br />
<br />
SRC/Universal Motown Records I'm ready to make some moves this year, are y'all. It's Definitely My Turn To Win ! Debut Album, "Pickin Up The Pieces" coming soon! Can we say late Summer. Can we do that y'all ?? <br />
<br />
That's all for now.. Please keep calling your local radio station to request my current "buzz" song featuring Maino. I really need your support. You can always follow me on twitter at www.twitter.com/shireuniversal and check out my Grammy 2010 photo album on Facebook at www.facebook.com/shireuniversal. <br />
<br />
2010 is my turn TO WIN ! <br />

I really enjoyed seeing some family and old friends but as usual I am a workaholic and I am back on my grind ! As I always say "Music is my Life!" Last Friday, I released my Xmas Compilation CD called "Christmas 2K9 with Shire'(Sha-ray) & Friends" that featured songs from R-Kelly, Musiq Soulchild , Mary J Blige and other legendary artist and I got over 5,000 downloads. The 2 songs that I uploaded to my, myspace page : www.myspace.com/shireuniversal have about 58,000 plays in 2weeks, which is wonderful! <br />
<br />
I did a few more radio interviews since my last blog with a station in Greensboro, NC and Winston Salem, NC. Please go to my, myspace to hear it, its called "Radio City". They love my buzz record "Love Don't Fail Me" feat Maino down there. I also just did another 1 hour radio interview last night in Phoeniz, AZ. Shout out to my girl, J-Milly for holding me down out there. Let me see what else is going on...?? <br />
<br />
The 2 smash club records produced by the platinum producer from France that I recorded 2 weeks ago have been received very well over there and in the UK. They say they absolutely love my voice because I'm a "real Singer" and they want me to come over there to perform soon, so I am very excited about that of course. I am definitely looking forward to broadening my fan base. <br />
<br />
Hopefully in January, my label, SRC/Universal Motown will be ready to finally get behind me and support all of my hard work and effort showing them that I am worthy of my opportunity to shine and to make them a lot of money this year! I would like to see them prepare for an "official" release of a new Single (no more leak records) and put me on the schedule to finally release my Debut Album, "Pickin Up The Pieces" which is definitely finished by the way. Can u give me a release date some time in late Spring/Summer. Can we do that y'all ?? <br />
<br />
Anyway, in the meantime, Please y'all keep calling your local radio station to request my current song featuring Maino. I really need your support. You can always follow me on twitter at shireuniversal and on Facebook at shireuniversal. <br />
<br />
2010 is my turn TO WIN ! <br />

Still on my grind ! Music is my Life! I have been recording non-stop for the past 2 weeks; one smash record after another. I am happy to say that I finally finished my Xmas CD Compilation called "Christmas 2K9 with Shire'(Sha-ray) & Friends" with featured songs from R-Kelly, Musiq Soulchild , Mary J Blige and others. I uploaded two songs from it to my, myspace page : www.myspace.com/shireuniversal over the weekend and I already got 12k PLAYS on each song, That is terrific! The full CD will be available for Free Downloads everywhere this Friday 12/18/2K9. Make sure that you get your copy before the Holiday. <br />
<br />
I also recorded 2 smash up tempo club type records over the weekend produced by a platinum producer from France who absolutely just loves my voice. He wants me to come over there after the new year to do some touring so I am very excited about that and I am definitely looking forward to broadening my fan base. Hopefully my label, SRC/Universal Motown will be ready to get things moving with me and supporting all of my efforts by preparing for the release of a new Single and my Album, which is finished by the way, just waiting for all of the clearances and paperwork to be done. <br />
<br />
Let me see what else is going on... <br />
<br />
I have a few more radio interviews to do this week with a station in Greensboro, NC and Winston Salem, NC. They tell me that they love my record "Love Don't Fail Me" feat Maino down there. Which by the way has almost 2 million plays on my, myspace page.. Whoa !! <br />
<br />
Also please check out my radio interview on the Vincent Tucker radio show in Dallas, TX. ? They love me down there TOO! They have been playing my record in full rotation for the past 2 months. click link to listen http://vincenttuckerradioshow.podomatic.com/entry/2009-12-02T19_03_51-08_00<br />

Mine was full of surprises and more work dropped in my lap. But work is good! Back on my grind ! Music is my Life! As i said in my last Blog I have so much to talk about but I can't do it all in one blog ! I just recorded 2 smash up tempo records over the weekend produced by a very well known producer and he was in NY shopping the song to different labels, like Def Jam, Capitol, J Reords and others and people have been going crazy over it. I even sent them to my publisher Ron Moss @ Rondor/Universal and even he loves it. Yeahh!! Shout out to Ron.. thanks for the advice !! <br />
<br />
I am now finishing up a Xmas Compilation CD (Mixtape) of my rendition of a few of my favorite Xmas songs along with a few guest appearances by some music Friends, such as Colby O'Donis, Sir Charles (New Uni/Motown Artist), Joe and others. I will have the CD available for download on this site, myspace, facebook, etc. I will be doing another mixtape at the top of next year and it will be available by Grammy weekend, and then hopefully my label will be ready to get things in order to begin supporting my record and preparing for the release of a new Single and my Album. <br />
<br />
Let me see what else is going on... <br />

I'm sorry for that but I'm back!! Back on my grind ! Still fighting for my love of music ! I have so much to talk about but I can't do it all in one blog ! It will have to be done over the next several days.. Let's start with the lala.com site<br />
<br />
I am still holding on to one of the top spots. This week I am at the #4 spot as SRC Records' top songs on the lala website.(click link below to view) <br />
http://www.lala.com/#browse/label/SRC%20Records <br />
However, for the 10th week in a row, I am still #1 as SRC's top rated song on the site. (click link) http://www.lala.com/#bestsellers/label/SRC_Records/more/webSong::sort=topRated. <br />
<br />
On to other news, I am still pushing my "buzz" single "Love Don't Fail Me" feat Maino. I am sure that by now I've missed out on plenty of sales on this record because the response has still been amazing; but please continue to be patient. I am hopeful to still get it on lala and itunes soon. We are still dealing with the politics of this business. For example, I just did another radio interview on the Vincent Tucker radio show in Dallas, TX and they love me down there. They have been playing my record in full rotation for the past 2 months. click link to listen http://vincenttuckerradioshow.podomatic.com/entry/2009-12-02T19_03_51-08_00<br />
<br />
Please y'all keep calling your local radio station to request my song. I really need your support. I am hoping to be doing a Xmas EP of about 6 of your favorite Xmas classic songs and servicing them out to radio in the next week or two. This is all for now.. so much more to say but I will save some for tomorrow.. Have a blessed weekend ! Oh and congrats to my labelmate Melanie Fiona for her Grammy Nomination.. next year is my turn ! Good Luck Mel<br />
<br />
Love<br />

WOW, so much to say..I just got back from LA since Thursday of last week..I attended a screening for a new TV Series that I have a small role in and it was very exciting to seeing all of the cast members.. I will also be writing some new songs to incorporate into the show, Yeah!! I know that GOD is at work in my life right now, because things are turning around. I am continuing to push my single "Love Don't Fail Me" feat Maino. I am gonna be working wit my boy Maino again for his new project real soon. Big shout out goes out to him again for his new record with Alicia Keys "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart" feat Maino and the new street anthem " I'm Tryna Win" Feat Maino and Jim Jones.. Keep Hustling Maino cuz I know I am! I definitely wish my label would piggy-back my song on the back his new songs ! Oh well.. All I can say is hopefully I have my label's blessing and support in 2010. I Just gotta keep on pushing on my own and hopefully I will finally get that album date for early 2010.

I will be in LA later this week (Thursday)attending a screening for a new TV Series on Showtime that I will have a small role in. I pray that I nail this role so that they can increase it to a bigger role or maybe even a main character. They've already confirmed incorporating some of my music into the show, Yeah!! I may also be shooting an interview on the Brian McKnight show while I'm in LA; just waiting on the clearance from my label. I know that GOD is at work in my life right now and I am very prayerful that it will all work out. <br />
<br />
On the music side, I am continuing to push my single "Love Don't Fail Me" feat Maino. In fact I just spoke to my boy Maino and a big shout out goes to him for his new record with Alicia Keys "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart" feat Maino. He is continuing to "Hustle Hard" and so am I. I wish I could piggy-back my song on the back of their song cuz I know that it's gonna be a huge success! All I can say is hopefully I have the blessing and support of my label in 2010. Just gotta keep on pushing on my own and hopefully I will finally get that album date for early 2010. To all my fans please don't forget 2 call your local radio stations to request my song! Until next time .. <br />
<br />
Much Love <br />

This week I am at the #3 spot as SRC Records' best selling web song on the lala.com website.(click link below to view) <br />
http://www.lala.com/#browse/label/SRC%20Records <br />
However, for the 8th week in a row, I am still #1 as SRC's top rated song on the site. (click link) http://www.lala.com/#bestsellers/label/SRC_Records/more/webSong::sort=topRated. <br />
I also moved up 4 spots on the R&B Best Selling Songs Chart, from #14 to #10. And once again, u must remember that this chart includes all other Artist from all other major labels but the big difference is that they all have major label push and budgets behind them. <br />
(Click link below to view) <br />
http://www.lala.com/#bestsellers/genre/R%26B/more/webSong::sort=topRated<br />
<br />
Hopefully my label will get my single "Love Don't Fail Me" feat Maino added to lala.com, iTunes and all other retail outlets for sale before the Holiday. I am sure that by now I've missed out on some early sales on this record; but please continue to be patient. We are still dealing with the politics of this business. If it was based strictly on talent, I would be all over the radio and performing all over the country by now. Anyway, Please Don't forget to keep calling your local radio station to request my new song. I really need your support. Oh and by the way I did do another interview last night with a station in Sacramento, CA.. I think? Stay Tuned I will post that up asap! Until Next Time, <br />
<br />
With Love<br />

I have definitely been on my grind working on some new projects and writing and collaborating with other artist and producers on some upcoming projects. Speaking of that I am a little sad because I was supposed to be performing this Friday in NY at Gramercy Theatre with Ruthless Record's Stevie Stone and Royce Da 5'9 of Slaughterhouse on the "KOD TOUR". I am featured on both of their record's for their upcoming albums, however that show was cancelled. Stay tuned because I may be doing a few other cities with them. I'm keeping my fingers crossed with that and look forward to 2010 and the release of their albums and of course my own called "Pickin Up The Pieces" <br />
<br />
In the meantime I am continuing to push my single "Love Don't Fail Me" feat Maino. I just did another interview with Hows My Rolling Radio and howsmyrolling.net. I gave kudos to my label President Steve Rifkind for taken a chance and believing in me. I talked about my place in the music biz and why the game needs me ..LOL! We need real artist and real singers back in the game and my urban appeal and my story will relate to every young woman in the "hood" across america and the world! As usual they were very impressed when I sang my song live for them. However, the ongoing question is always "when is the single gonna be available for sale and when is the album coming out." All I can say is hopefully the single will be available before the holiday and the album early 2010. To listen to the interiview go to this Direct Link:<br />

http://www.lala.com/#browse/label/SRC%20Records <br />
However I am still #1 as SRC's top rated song. (click link) http://www.lala.com/#bestsellers/label/SRC_Records/more/webSong::sort=topRated. <br />
I did move up 3 spots on the R&B Best Selling Songs Chart, from #17 to #14. And remember this chart includes all other Artist from all other major labels but the big difference is they all have major label push and budgets behind them.<br />

<br />
I am still hopeful that my label will soon get my single "Love Don't Fail Me" feat Maino added to lala.com, iTunes and all other retail outlets for sale. I am sure that by now I am missing out on some early sales on this record; but please continue to be patient. We are still dealing with the politics of this business. If it was based strictly on talent, I would be all over the radio and performing all over the country by now. Anyway, Please Don't forget to keep calling your local radio station to request my new song. I really need your support. Until Next Time, have a great weekend! <br />

Sorry for missing my daily blogg yesterday, but I have been swamped with working on some new projects and writing and collaborating with other artist and producers on some upcoming projects. Stay tuned because 2010 is gonna be my year, musically and hopefully some acting; I'm keeping my fingers crossed with that. I will be in LA in a few weeks to nail a role on a new show that may also be using some of my songs on the show. I am very prayerful that it will all work out. <br />
<br />
In the meantime I am continuing to push my single "Love Don't Fail Me" feat Maino. In fact i just did another interview with BKS Radio on Saturday Night and of course they were very impressed with my music and my story plus when I sang the song live for them it blew them away. However, the ongoing question is always when is the single gonna be available for sale and when is the album coming out. All I can say is hopefully early 2010. To listen to the interiview go to this site: http://bksent.com/index.php/bks1radio. <br />
<br />
Tonight I will be doing another radio interview in NYC with Ms Drama. Check her out at www.msdramatv.com. I hope she don't start too much drama with me but we'll see, it should be fun ! Just gotta keep on pushing my record "Love Don't Fail Me" feat Maino on my own and hopefully I will finally get that album date for early 2010. Make sure you listen to it all and don't forget 2 call your local radio stations to request ME ! We'll talk later.<br />
<br />
With Love <br />

People are really responding well to my new record; online everywhere, and in the clubs and on radio. FYI, This week I've been given the Artist Spolight of The Week Award on musicfeen.com's website.

Just doing my daily check in, but this blog will be short and sweet I promise. Basically, I just wanted y'all to know that the Program Director, CJ Riddick @ WYTT 99.5 JAMZ in Virginia that added my song Love Don't Fail Me a couple weeks ago, has been showing me some mad love! A Big shout out goes out to CJ, Thanks so much! He sent the playlist to CK and it is getting 24 spins per week down there. WOW, that's med/heavy rotation and just think.. Universal Motown hasn't even kicked in yet with their promotions. I can't wait to see what happens when they do.. I think I could have a top 5 record with the right push behind it. Anyway, just wanted to keep y'all updated.. <br />
Until Next Time<br />
God Bless<br />
<br />

Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Well Friday I had a really great interview with Nick D of 90.9FM WQFS in Greensboro, NC "Radio City". We talked about the state of the music biz and what I think I bring to the business, my short & long term goals and of course my new single "Love Don't Fail Me" , which he assures me they are playing in rotation down there and the release of my debut album "Pickin Up The Pieces" hopefully due out early 2010. <br />
From there I had to go to Atlantic City for an appearance at Jay Z's 40/40 Club. Then on Saturday, I was back in the studio writing and recording and I did this crazy hook called "Aint Da Same Game" for this West Coast Producer/Rapper named "EA-Ski". He hit my manager CK after he got it going CRAZY!!!! So I guess he was really happy..He said its gonna be his first single..so we'll see.. <br />
Sunday i just wanna forget about.. Both My Ravens and Eagles Lost, so needless to say it wasn't a good day!<br />
<br />
Until Next Time<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
