Exciting New Gospel Artist, Conrad Miller, Delivers Refreshing Change to Spiritual Song

  2009-03-20
 

Philadelphia, PA. – A new approach to Gospel music that brings a touching and emotional satisfaction to listeners is now available for those seeking a genuine and satisfying musical experience.  The CD, produced by GRAMMY, Stellar and Dove Award winner  Steven Ford , is called  My Journey  and is the gospel debut of singer and composer  Conrad Miller . The project is a collection of original songs by the artist offering an uplifting presentation of Gospel music in the “New Traditional” style. The first musical offering out of the gate from Millcon Music Ministries, the CD will hit stores on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 and will be marketed, promoted and distributed by Edmondson Communications, Inc.

Although the new release is his first in the gospel music realm, Conrad has had moderate success on the urban side of the music industry.  He was a member of MGM Recording Artist  The Soulful Seven , an R&B group, for 5 years.  In addition, he wrote a popular 70s tune,  Carla, My Love , originally recorded by  The Softones .  After a spiritual renewal, he began writing gospel music. But it was the sudden death of his daughter that made him realize the brevity of life and the need to get the music inside him out. Conrad has dedicated this project to the loving memory of his daughter,  Lauren Elizabeth Denise Miller , who was called home to Glory the day after her 16th birthday . 

My Journey  contains 11 original new songs and features the bouncy “Amazing,” the compelling song, “Breathe On Me,” the very inspirational track, “From Here Through Eternity,” and the rousing tribute to mothers everywhere, “Momma Prayed For Me.”  The song entitled “Jesus Is The Way” was co-written by Lauren.

Miller tapped well-known producer, Steven Ford, known for his work with artists such as  Richard Smallwood, Vickie Winans, Donnie McClurkin The Winans , and many others, to head the recording process.  According to Ford, “Conrad's approach to his musical style is a refreshing change and a demonstration of his ability to create music that shows the dynamics of one's life experiences.” 

Each of Miller's original  My Journey  songs tells a compelling and soul-captivating story, based largely upon the New Testament scripture and his life experiences.  This collection of meaningful input helps inspire and uplift listeners on their spiritual journey.  His songs range in style from “traditional quartet Gospel,” to “new traditional,” and to “contemporary Christian.”  They also draw upon some of the best-loved elements of classic Gospel music, but also include reminiscent hints of his early popular music influences.

My Journey  delivers touching, emotionally comforting and soul-searching music and lyrics.  The soon-to-be released singles can be heard at  www.MySpace.com/ConradMillerMusic . For more information about Conrad Miller, go to  www.ConradMillerMusic.com.
