TOP members, Doc Kupka, Tom Politzer and returning member Mic Gillette add their funky horns to this cover song, another funk pop hit to be.

In keepin' his ear to the street, guitarist/producer Jerry Stucker added R&B/Soul -legend drummer, James Gadson (Bill Withers, Herbie Hancock and Quincy Jones),The funked-out organist Neil Larson (Gregg Allman, B.B. King, Whitney Houston), and the soulful playing of Reggie McBride on bass (Stevie Wonder, Al Jarreau, Keb'Mo').

Jim Santella of L.A. JAZZ SCENE MAGAZINE digs Adamo's strong original style and says, "He sings with the bold character of a man who knows how to entertain, recalling pop singers Tom Jones, David Clayton-Thomas and Brook Benton, as well as jazz singers Al Jarreau and Mark Murphy." With Tony Adamo's smooth funk vocals, the triple threat of TOP horns and the rhythm section applying pressure to the groove, this song will be the sound of the summer. Horn Driven Radio (Raoul Fernandez) will be the first U.S. radio station to break this new MP3, "This Time it's Real."

Debut Album "One Life" By Sean Murphy In August 28, 2009

August 28 usually signifies the end of summer, but it is just the beginning for pop-rock artist Sean Murphy. August 28 is the day of his highly-anticipated debut album release of "One life"; and this album could not be more appropriately titled.

Sean Murphy is definitely someone who lives life to the fullest, and continually reinforces the concept of "having one life to live, so we better live life to its fullest". And Sean Murphy really does live his life with that proclaimed passion, for he is an avid surfer and grew up in a literal paradise- Hawaii. That passion, zeal, and love for adventure is truly reflected in the lyrics of his songs. They invoke a carefree existence, where a person can live with a happy abandon, but is still able to experience human pain on the deepest level.

Sean Murphy's vocal and writing ability, and over-all amazing talent, has rewarded him with a huge following. His myspace has over 4 million hits to date, and well-seasoned artists in the industry are beginning to take notice. One of these artists is singer Bryan Adams.

Sean Murphy is also gaining high visibility in Japan where he is currently number 5 on the Japanese pop charts. He also is gaining recognition in Canada, and the Netherlands, as well as Australia. He has also piqued the interest of well-known music producer David Foster. Mr. Foster is quoted as saying," During the years, I have seen a great number of incredible talents and worked with a lot of superb artists, but rarely will you find such raw talent and passion in someone that seems to elevate music to a higher standard". It appears that Mr. Foster is not alone in his opinion however, since others in the industry are expressing this same feeling. It was this same recognition of Sean Murphy’s abilities and talent, which impressed Mike Jean and Salvatore Basil of Moonlight Entertainment Records, and eventually led to his signing with their label, and his first record deal.

Sean Murphy's style is a culmination of Dave Matthews, Jack Johnson, and Bob Dylan. Though it does seem, that he is surely in a league of his own He is sure to strike a chord within his listeners ‘hearts, and that chord should resonate for a long time- long after the music fades. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you ...Sean Murphy. Get ready for the performance of a lifetime.

Soundwrx Gets Into The 'Groove'

Soundwrx is delighted to welcome Gregory J Bennett, aka 'Groove Generator'© into the Soundwrx family. He brings with him an established catalogue of music and has an impressive list of credits to his name.

Gregory, who lives in Louisiana USA, is an award-winning innovator of 'funkafied' and hard driving rock music with a pop under-current. He has already released CD's that demonstrate his versatility and the urban dance grooves that he is known for. His musical apprenticeship began in a New Orleans school band that lead to performing with local bands and his first taste of the big time came with an invite as opening act for a Chaka Khan concert. His self-imposed education into every style of music from R&B to pop, jazz to hip-hop and easy-listening to orchestral is evident in his very individual musical style. Gregory describes this as "a delightful synthesis of sensual, seductive and provocative gumbo!" A 'Listen & Exchange Award' as one of the Top 20 Indie Composer/Producers in 2003 affirms this.

His commercial credits include music for mobile music licensing and distribution, TV advertising and U.S. cable TV soundtracks for VH-1, MTV, E! and HBO among others. He has also enjoyed success with film soundtracks, most notably 'Cain & Abel' (released by MercuryRising Films 2005 & to DVD 2007).

Soundwrx Creative Director, Craig Hopkinson: "Gregory approached us recently as another avenue to distribute his material. On auditioning his tracks it was an easy decision to invite him to join us. The music he brings both complements and expands the Soundwrx range. The power and production quality behind rock tracks such as 'Anticipate me' can't fail to evoke a response!

"Our further research informed us that he had lost most of his possessions in the wake of the Katrina hurricane, not least his music equipment. Anyone who can bounce straight back into work & production after that experience as he did, shows great strength of character – a trait that will only serve to bolster his future success.

"We are currently working on producing a compilation album for release under the Soundwrx label to include some of the 'Groove Generator' back catalogue coupled with some recently submitted material of a more ambient style that will illustrate Gregory's diversity and the continual evolution of his music."

About Soundwrx: soundwrx Limited is a new label specializing in writing music for use as stock, background music and soundtracks suitable for film, radio or television. A small independent production company working out of Portugal with connections to musicians from the UK and Europe, the United States, Russia, China and South America, their first commercial album & EP by EATcha Tribe are available on Amazon, iTunes HMV and others via their distribution partner, BFM Digital.
