\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Album Coming In Spring 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

New York City-based singer-songwriter Amy Lennard has signed to Newark, NJ-based Rock Ridge Music; she will be releasing her sophomore album, If You Say Yes<\/em>, via the company\u2019s label arm in Spring 2013.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Says Lennard of the relationship with her new label:\u00a0 \u201cI am looking forward to and am very excited about releasing my record with Rock Ridge Music.\u00a0 They care about their artists, have a great roster, and have an amazing track record!\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Says Rock Ridge Music president Jason Spiewak of working with Lennard:\u00a0 \u201cWe are so excited to be Amy Lennard\u2019s label partner for her new album. \u00a0If You Say Yes<\/em> is a wonderful collection of thoughtfully recorded songs, and is a strong reflection of Amy\u2019s talent as a writer and vocalist.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Produced by Lennard and Andy Stack and engineered by Ken Rich at Grand Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the forthcoming album features 10 <\/em><\/strong>tracks, she called upon friends old and new to join her in the studio for If You Say Yes<\/em>.\u00a0 Included among the performers she worked with are drummer Jerry Marotta (Elvis Costello, Indigo Girls, Suzanne Vega), drummer Dan Vonnegut, bassist Tony Tino, acoustic guitarist Jon Gordon, and pianist Keith Cotton (Joan Osborne), who contributed a solo on the track, \u201cTake A Chance.\u201d\u00a0 Producer Stack, who is also her music director and touring partner, contributed performances on multiple instruments and backing vocals to the album.<\/p>\n

If You Say Yes<\/em> is Lennard\u2019s most optimistic work to date.\u00a0 \u201cI am at a turning point in my life,\u201d says Lennard.\u00a0 \u201cMy music is still as honest as its always been, but now it has a different bent.\u00a0 My debut album had a longing for something just out of grasp, but this is about coming upon something.\u00a0 I write songs about peace, love, longing and understanding.\u201d\u00a0 The record\u2019s filigree of mesmerizing vocal harmonies, delicate and graceful full-band interaction, and unflinching positivity was born from peace within.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Lennard built a considerable profile with transcendently soulful vocals and thematic lyrics rich with evocative nature metaphors, an all-welcoming spirituality, and a bold vulnerability. The Daily Vault<\/em> says: \u201cLennard nails the essence of everyday emotions\u00a0\u2013\u00a0the inner conflicts, the flashes of joy and sorrow and regret and desire, the fundamental uncertainty of anything in life but the moment you\u2019re inhabiting.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Cashbox.com<\/em> gushes \u201cLennard is in the league with some of the best songwriters and storytellers of our time.\u201d<\/p>\n
