!!!! FEBRUARY 2022 BEST COVER SONG AWARD-WINNER !!!!
https://www.theakademia.com/awards/2022/AvaLemert-TakeItEasy-0000351989.html

A cover from the mid-80s, I've wanted to do this song for so long, it's not even funny! I have the original 45 still. With sequencing by Nelson Guimaraes, the original male vocal with guitar solos, is now transformed into my special signature arrangement with my tenor sax supplying the riffs and middle 8 solo, and lead vocal plus 6 harmony backing vocals by  me :-) too! So much fun, I'll update this when the track comes out and I have a pre-save and buy link to share!

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- Lover Boy

*** https://ffm.to/breakingaway_ava *** RELEASING ON TUES. JUNE 21!

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.

SAMPLE - Breaking Away

PRE-SAVE & D/L LINKS ☛☛ https://onerpm.link/815615793497 

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!

!!! 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

LYRICS:
oh yeah...  feels so good!
 Let me tell you what is real
 this ELATION that I feel
 time’s really on my side
Won’t let this moment pass me by, Oh, no!
 Everything’s going my way, feel so good
You know it makes me wanna say..,well

I’ve made up my mind!
TODAY IS MY DAY!  
TODAY IS MY DAY!

No turning back,  changes are good
They always seem to turn out like they should
Moving up,   move ahead,
Lights are green,   nothing’s red
Giving’ up, ain‘t my style
Face the world with a smile, You know it,

I’ve made up my mind!
TODAY IS MY DAY!
TODAY IS MY DAY!

  SAX SOLO

Gonna prove that I can do it
when it comes down to it
got a faith in myself, don’t need fame
don’t need wealth...
not gonna...sit on the shelf, you know i’m
gonna do it myself, YEAH! 
I don’t need help from no one else,
I’ve got it all within me, all in my soul,

I’ve made up my mind!
TODAY IS MY DAY!
 Mm, yeah,  no denying,  [today is my day}
would be lyin’ ...gonna keep on tryin’  TODAY IS MY DAY! 
Grab the bull by the horns!  TODAY IS MY DAY!
Wanna scream, wanna shout, let it all out  [today is my day} 
ooh! ‘Feel so good, gonna tell the world [today is my day}
[END TAG:] TODAY IS MY DAY!

Today Is My Day!

This original came together so fast, that I wrote the lyrics down AFTER I cut the first "test" lead vocal! I love it when something comes together in a bolt of lightning. I did very little to change it, I find, usually, in creating songs, artwork, or other "passion" projects, that reworking tends to wreck the energy of the product. Not sure how to really word what I'm thinking, I hope you catch my meaning. Anyway, I think this is more a "Funk Rock" than "R&B/Soul" would you agree? Categorizing is always the TOUGHEST part of releasing music to me, and it doesn't seem to get any easier, LOL! I hope you like it! Made with love, Ava :-)

SONG LYRICS;

Ooh, Wastin' Time
Ooh, Wastin' Time
Ooh, Wastin' Time, Yeah
Wastin' Time

Yeah!
You know you gotta give it everything
or you're just Wastin' Time (Wastin' Time)
Yes you are
You've got to give it all that you've got
or you're just Wastin' Time
Wastin' Time, yours and mine

I know you've been hurt before
You don't want to get hurt some more
Well you might get a "No" or nothing at all
But whatever you get, you stand up tall!
Now listen,

'Got to give it all that you've got
or you're just Wastin' Time
You've got to give it everything you are,
or you're just Wastin' Time
Wastin' Time, yours and mine

solo break

OOOH well you may not be a super star
Well, that's just fine.
Inside you know how good you are,
Babe, you gotta shine, gotta shine
Don't let nobody steal your glow,
Everybody wants to put on a show.
You're head and shoulders above the rest.
You know you can be your very best, if you:

You gotta give it everything
or you're just Wastin' Time (Wastin' Time)
Don't you know?
You've got to give it all that you've got
or you're just Wastin' Time
Wastin' Time, yours and mine
Don't waste it, waste your time
Oh, don't waste it! 
You've only got this moment, baby
Wastin' Time, you're Wastin' Time
Don't Waste your Time
Do your very best, don't Waste your Time

Wastin' Time
