Singer-Songwriter Raquel Aurilia returns to her storytelling roots with the release of her new album, "Long Way Home", recorded in Nashville with Producer Billy Smiley. "Long Way Home" will be released in the U.S. on Tuesday, January 27, 2015.
Recording Artist Raquel Aurilia is an amazing singer-songwriter who has toured opening for John Waite, B.B. King, Gin Blossoms, Eddie Money and Pat Benatar... and has worked with Grammy Award winning producer Tony Papa (James Brown, Willie Nelson, John Denver) and Gardner Cole (Madonna, Jodi Whatley), as well as Grammy nominated Billy Smiley (Johnny Cash, Bebe and Cece Winans) on her latest project, "Long Way Home".
"It was such an exciting time to be back in
the recording studio," says Raquel Aurilia. "Working with Producer
Billy Smiley in Nashville at Dark Horse Studios with such an incredibly
talented line up of Music City's finest session players to bring my latest
songs and stories to life was a wonderful experience."
"Long Way Home" is Aurilia's third
album and highlights her authentic, powerful talent as a storyteller. It offers
a Country/Pop style and features some of Nashville's top studio musicians
including: Steve Brewster (drums), Ken Lewis (drums), Byron House (upright
bass), Brennan Smiley (guitars), Blair Masters (keyboards), Sal Oliveri
(keyboards), and Andy Leftwich (violin) who have recorded with icons such as
Kenny Rogers, Garth Brooks, Brett Eldridge, Amy Grant, Dierks Bentley, Peter
Frampton, Robert Plant, Emmylou Harris, and Dolly Parton.
"Long Way Home" offers an authentic
next chapter for Raquel Aurilia with her heartfelt original self-penned songs
including: Shattered; Little Things I Love; Reach for the Stars; and the title
track Long Way Home.
Aurilia's music has been featured on MTV's hit
series "The Hills," "The City" and "Taking the
Stage." Her hit single "Feels Like" from her debut record,
"Finding My Way," cracked the ultra-competitive R&R Top 30 AC and
Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary charts at #28, and is still receiving national
air play today.
