More than a title for the song, "Breaking Away" aptly describes Ava Lemert's new direction for her music making. In this song, she flexes her vocal, and production chops, "Breaking Away" from the misconception that she is simply a "jazz saxophonist." Ava also recorded, mixed, and mastered the song herself in her Citrus Heights studio, My Blue Heaven.
"Breaking Away" is a rather obscure song from 1981 by the band, Balance. Ava's version of the energetic, 80s rocker, has a bit faster tempo, great for exercising to, and six vocal harmonies, all sung by Ava herself! This is a new arrangement of a dusty gem from the days of leg warmers, and Miami Vice. It's both nostalgic, and refreshing with the "realness" of the soaring, powerful vocals by Ava Lemert

To all the people out there that comment, "They just don't make real music anymore," I want you to know that we are, you just don't see us on the awards shows! It doesn't mean it's no good, it's just not the trend. I don't auto-tune, I don't rap, I love harmony, a good melody, rich instrumentation, and a sexy sax riff or two! If you feel me, then, have I got some music to share with you!

SAMPLE - Breaking Away

"Winter Song" at times sounds like an instrumental that might have been made by #BrianFerry or #RoxyMusic with it's swirling, sultry harmonizing saxophone lines that phase in, around, and above each other. It's as if they are lovers in a dance, very dream-like, with an intoxicating, driving tom-drum beat behind them. Chill, but also, intensely passionate.

LYRICS:

Ooh!

Are you ready?

Want some truth?
You gotta let me be free.

Got to make up my own mind
to live in Liberty.

Liars hide, and the news is fake.
Well, there's only so much deceiving
that I can take!

Well,
Better make it right before it's too late,
Is it too late?

Light the dark, clean the slate.
Well, you know we're running out of time,
Did we seal our fate?

You know, it's time that we take a stand, 
Before it's too late!
Oh no, tell me,
It's not too late!
Here we go!

(sax solo)

Oh!
I'm wide awake!
And it's plain to see,
Yeah,
All the spin and propaganda, yeah,
It's tyranny!

Do you hear me?
Stop sleepin'
Before it's too late!
Before it's too late (it's not too late)

You know it's time that we take a stand,
Before it's too late! (It's not too late)
Tell me, it's not too late

It's (Not) Too Late

A big, bold version of the blues classic, Ava takes the WHOLE stage here: with an aggressive power lead vocal, equally gritty, searing saxophone riff and solo, as well as three soulful backing vocals, give this both a bright sound, with a vintage soul roundness. Absolutely a stunner in the digital age, with NO auto-tune required nor used!

Happy Birthday @GeorgeHarrison February 25th! I created a recording of one of my favorite songs of his. It is one of the first Beatles albums I owned as a kid, born after the group had disbanded, but I love all his music, from these early "touring" years to the time that he went Home. #ThankYouGeorge for inspiring a dorky little California girl to pursue my love of writing and recording music, exploring harmony and the fullness of life in this great big Universe. You are so loved, forever... <3 Ava

ABOUT THE SOUND:
This was intentionally recorded and mixed for vinyl/mono and I did my best to give it a bit of all right, in the sense that to honor the sound of "pre-CD" sampled recording, I added vinyl effects, as well as mastering for mono vinyl release! Anyway, I had fun adding in the needle drop and the de-centering, pop/hiss and at the end, after the fade, you can hear the needle going onto the paper... I hope you like my loving tribute :-)

Do You Want to Know a Secret

Do You Want To Know A Secret

45 Second samples from each track of "Neo-Exotica" this will be my first #GRAMMY Awards entry for Best World Music - Album" and the track "Jungle Funk" for Instrumental Composition. 
What is “Neo-Exotica?” A new, retro-inspired genre of music by Ava Lemert.
If you love the "Ultra Lounge" series by Rhino Records that features worldly googie music from the mid-century martini set you'll love Ava's "Neo-Exotica" 
How does it sound? Think of the romance of forbidden beaches, tiki,gods guarding sacred temples in misty jungles teeming with wild things. Hear the rhythm of drenching salty surf, warm tropical sun and you sipping a fancy cocktail with a little umbrella sticking out enjoying it all! It's lush —replete with field recordings of Kookaburra birds, lions and stirrings of the Yucatan rainforest. Ava uses sounds of instruments you may not know even exist, such as African traditional instruments like the urdu, ngoni, or the lute-like Aud from Armenia, there's the Chinese dizi flute and the other-worldly sounding Erhu, ringing sitar-like Jaipur and even drums made with Cling-Wrap! Blended in with the very exotic are more familiar rhythms such as funky dancehall and Reggae, Bossa Nova and a fiery Tango that features Ava's smoldering spicy saxophones in a dance of passion in "Gypsy Tango."

!!! FEBRUARY 2022 BEST POP SONG AWARD-WINNER !!!
https://www.theakademia.com/awards/2022/AvaLemert-TodayIsMyDay-0000351988.html

This is as of today, my favorite song that I've written! "Today Is My Day!" was re-imagined after being discovered on an old cassette tape of demo songs I made nearly 30 years ago! It has a new theme, new lyrics, a whole new middle 8 section, and a very different sound and production! Let me know if you'd be interested in hearing the old original, it's rough, but might be interesting to hear where some of my old songs that I've "rebirthed" since my return to my music-making, sound like? The song was originally "You're What I Want" and it was about being frustrated with not getting a response from a "love interest." Well, there are lots of those, and it struck me, that in January when this was started in the production phase, that I should completely rethink and update the song's lyrics and feel. So, after it took me a while to get the old words out of my mind, I thought, "What do I need, what does the world need now? A song of empowerment, of hope, and inner strength for these times."
There you have it, from there, it was pretty easy, just a few tweaks to get the hook and verses, but they tumbled out, once I got the hook, I felt pretty positive. That's a good sign, don't you agree?
I hope you'll like it so far, and maybe even help me get it out to the world, share it and let people who might get a lift from it, to find me, listen and see if it helps!
Thank you for your support and time :-)
Ava

All my life, I have been waitin’
All my life, I have been searchin’
for a love... mm, as sweet as you, yeah

Every day, I have been prayin’
All my friends... all they’ve been sayin’
“Girl, you know he is out there

Well, I know it... I’m gonna show it
That I need him, oh, it’s glowin’ -
that happy day, when he - Looks - my way...

I have been waiting for you
everyday, I have known you
in my heart, oh let me show you my love
(I’ve been waiting for you)

The time is NOW... I can feel it
The time is NOW, oh I can’t escape
When I see you, look my way,
There's just some things that I wanna say,
like,
I’ve been waiting all my life,
oh yeah, I wanna be your wife
through all of life’s struggle and strife
with you....

Oh! All my life, I have been waiting for you
All my life, I have been praying for you,
and forever, I’ll be here for you, and for always

All my life, I have been waiting for you
All my life, I have been praying for you,
and here you are, I'll be here for you,

All my life... I've been waiting for you.
