New Single from Shannon Kennedy, ‘Only One’
Latest Release from Shannon Kennedy is the Final Single Before The Full Album Becomes Available

Los Angeles, CA - September 17, 2011 – ‘Only One,’ the latest release by saxophonist and vocalist Shannon Kennedy gives listeners an inside look into her upcoming album, ‘Behind Your Eyes’ as she steps out more than ever as a compelling lead vocalist, producer and composer. This exciting new single, Only One, is now available on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/only-one-single/id460500669

Falling in Love for the First Time

After the success of the first two singles from the album, ‘Falling Slowly’ and ‘No One to Catch Me,’ this up and coming artist continues to shine. Co-produced by both Shannon Kennedy and U-Nam (#1 Hit ‘Street Life’ in 2007), ‘Only One’ is a little bit pop, a little bit country, and comes packed with a whole lot of originality.

The song features John Gregorius on acoustic and electric guitars, Kurt Hamernick on drums, U-Nam on bass and additional keyboards, and Shannon Kennedy as the vocalist, keyboardist and on additional guitars.

The single already has been receiving airplay on several online stations and has been featured and reviewed on several music sites. The full album is due out later in 2011 and will feature a collection of new and original music. Summer 2011, Shannon Kennedy made her onstage debut as a vocalist at Nisei Week in Los Angeles, launching her tour of the new material throughout the US and more as further dates materialize. ‘Only One’ is now available through most online retailers such as iTunes, CDBaby and Rhapsody.

A preview of Shannon Kennedy’s upcoming EP ‘L’Hiver’ already receiving positive
results

Kennedy’s explorations in new format proving popular amongst music listeners

Los Angeles, CA - January 30, 2011 – After the success of her first EP in the
neo-classical genre, L’Automne, Kennedy releases the first single from her new
EP L’Hiver to an excited audience. As part of an experimental series, Shannon
Kennedy has been exploring a new style of composition unfamiliar to her smooth
jazz and pop background, confirming her versatility and talent as a composer and
artist. The Lost Voyage is the most powerful of her programmatic, contemporary
classical music yet, and makes for an exhilarating introduction of what’s to come.

Les Saisons – A Programmatic Soundtrack to the Composer’s Life

The music from Les Saisons, is based on true events from the composer’s life,
giving listeners an inside look into the personal, real, and uninhibited emotions of
Shannon Kennedy through her music. The debut EP, L’Automne, featured music
inspired by a fairy-tale trip to Paris (Maisons-Alfort), an upcoming move to Ireland
(Gaelic Spring), a heroic confession of love (Manu’s Theme), and a pensive, yet
romantic expression of emotion and self-reflection (I Am). Revealing the struggle
and fear of one leaving one’s home and moving to another country is The Lost
Voyage, the first single from her follow-up EP L’Hiver, due Summer 2011.

Prior to the release of the single, a promotional video was created and posted online to glowing reviews. United States: ‘Awesome song....!!!! Love it, can not wait to hear more;’ United Kingdom: ‘Sounds pretty epic;’ Portugal: ‘I'm so looking forward to it;’ and United States: ‘love it, great job;’ confirming the excitement and anticipation of its release by listeners across the globe.

Alicia Doyle of AllMusicReview.com also noticed Kennedy’s developed maturity and ability as a composer. ‘Shannon Kennedy's latest creation, "The Lost Voyage" shows a sophistication and elegance that belies her omnivorous appreciation and understanding of the worlds of music. A mixture of folk, classical and filmic stylistic characteristics, the dramatic work reveals the artist's compositional maturation. The work is dominated by a steady driving ostinato in combination with powerful and dense harmonies. This ominous ostinato theme is dark and in the narrative seems relentless, however periodically the foreboding tone is unexpectedly contrasted with welcome sections of sonic of repite. The eclectic orchestration, the filmic drama, and the edgy ostinato serve to make this a highly descriptive, visually inspiring soundscape.’

The Lost Voyage is now available on iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby and other online music retailers. You can visit www.shannon-kennedy.com for more information on the composer and the music. In addition to The Lost Voyage, up coming music by Shannon Kennedy include Fashionable – a new single with K.A.S.E. 87 due Feb 2011, L’Hiver her follow-up EP due Summer 2011, and Behind Your Eyes due Winter 2011.
