I close my eyes and tell myself
When I feel judged by someone else
That love, love, love begins with me
I dig in deep and must reveal
the secret for my heart to heal
No lies, lies, lies or make believe

My stones and sticks, I Pitch em quick and get in the way of myself again

And then I say

I am not afraid 
I know how to be brave
In a million shades of gray 
my colors never fade
Bitter words can't stain
Wash out or strip away
In the best and worst if days
My colours never fade

Mending all my imperfections
Unravels me in all directions
and its hard, hard, hard so hard to breathe
Can't pave my road with good intentions
Frightened by my own inventions
Oh, When, when, when will I believe

 So brick by brick
I lay it thick and paint up my face for the world again
and then I sing

I am not afraid
I know how to be brave
In the best and worst of days
My colours never fade
Impossible they say
The odds cannot be played
But my dreams come true in spades when
My colours never 
Fade, fade
Brighten my way
To a better day
never fade, never fade
I am not afraid 
I know how to be brave
In a million shades of gray 
my colors never fade
Bitter words can't stain
Wash out or strip away
In the best and worst if days
My colours never fade
I am not afraid
I know how to be brave
In the best and worst of days
My colours never fade
Impossible they say
The odds cannot be played
But my dreams come true in spades when
My colours never 
Fade

Margo Rey - Colours

Last night's conversation running through my head.
A silent meditation of what I should have said.
Have we pushed to the end, when neither one of us will bend?

Kill and complicate a simple point of view.
Talk intoxicated like love junkies do.
Waiting for the bell to sound, 'cause I can't go another round.

All of the moments that we left undone and the words that we should've said,
It's never too late to be kind to each other and be happy
Never 2 late

I don't believe we've reached the point of no return.
Always thought us smart enough to live and learn.
When we acted like friends, life was so easy then.

All of the moments that we left undone and the words that we should've said,
It's never too late to be kind to each other and be happy
Never 2 late

Can't control a life of told you so.
So baby don't let go and keep on holding on.
All of the moments that we left undone and the words that we should've said,
It's never too late to be kind to each other and be happy
Never 2 late


"Never 2 Late" feat. John Oates

03 This Masquerade

Remarkably and uniquely arranged by Oscar Hernandez into Latin Jazz - "Angel Eyes" conjures a romantic, cinema-like unfolding of red lips, chilled cocktails and the sheer thrill of living. It’s nearly unbearably beautiful. But buckle up. “Angel Eyes” is just the beginning.

02 Angel Eyes

The original prelude to "Angel Eyes" that is not often found in the recording of this magnificent standard that now has new life thanks to Rey's undeniably powerful voice. As the name suggests, “Prelude” is a warm introduction to what is to come in the later songs on the formidable Latin Jazz album, “The Roots of Rey.” It’s a warm flirtation that promises a hot consummation. It’s akin to a look, a walk, a gesture that’s undeniably irresistible.

01 Prelude

shuffling down the avenue					
the raindrops fall like honeydew 
a beat taps out on one and two 
and I am groovin’ in my shoes
with nothing to lose
	high heels clicking to that beat 				
while ladies scurry in the street
a hurried pace and tapping feet
they all have someone else to meet
  	so let them run and hide, I like a cloudy sky
       	and let the rain wash over me
	winds blow round a plastic bag, a pile of leaves 
and a dirty mag children yelling playing tag
a man lights up to take a drag, whatta drag
so let them run and hide, I like a cloudy sky
       	and let the rain wash over me
		and in my darkest hour, I'm sanctified...	
	rainbow pools of gasoline another city washes clean	
sparkling like a beauty queen.....
	so let them run and hide, I'll pray for cloudy skies
       	and let the rain wash over me
let the rain wash over me 
let the rain sanctify me
let the rain wash over me 
let the rain sanctify me

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste 
A flannel for my face 
Pajamas, a hairbrush 
New shoes and a case 
I said to my reflection 
Let's get out of this place 
Past the church and the steeple 
The laundry on the hill 
The billboards and the buildings 
Memories of it still 
Keep calling (keep calling) and calling (and calling)
But forget it all 
I know I will 

Chorus:
Tempted by the fruit of another 
Tempted but the truth is discovered 
What's been going on 
Now that you have gone 
There's no other 
Tempted by the fruit of another 
Tempted but the truth is discovered 

I'm at the car park, the airport 
The baggage carousel 
The people keep on crowding 
I'm wishing I was well 
I said it's no occasion 
It's no story I could tell 

At my bedside empty pocket 
A foot without a sock 
Your body gets much closer 
I fumble for the clock 
Alarmed by the seduction 
I wish it would stop 

Chorus 

I bought a novel, some perfume 
A fortune all for you 
But it's not my conscience 
Hating to be untrue 
I asked of my reflection 
What is there to do?

Chorus

Tempted by the fruit of another 
Tempted but the truth is discovered

Mexican born, singer-songwriter, Margo Rey was raised in a multi-cultural environment in Dallas, Texas by two remarkable Mexican immigrant parents Alejandro Reymundo & Amparo Jurado de Reymundo who raised five outstanding artistic children who have made there mark in the world with their artistic expression.She surrounds herself in a fantastic extended loving family of friends and fellow artists. She is a recording artist for Organica Music Group (OMG/Fontana/Universal). OMG was founded by Margo, her husband, comedian, Ron "Tater-Salad" White and Record company pro, Michael Blakey. Margo is making her artistic and global dreams come true by spreading awareness and education through her art, humor, public speaking and philanthropy all in the name of making a positive difference in the world and lives of others. She speaks four languages and has sung in eight languages. She has not just survived but thrived through cancer twice and has her own video series called "Chemo-Glam". She has charted her songs on Billboard and MediaBase in Adult Contemporary (AC) Pop/ Dance & Holiday music charts 6 times in the last 24 months with her original compositions and arrangements, Habit, Get Back, Let The Rain, Between Us, This Holiday Night and most recently, Tempted. 

Her Artist statement:

"I came to name my music style, "Organica" "Organica", is my sound and my genre. It is based on living in the moment on stage. Allowing the music and improvisation to be a living breathing organism that is ever changing throughout the performance with reciprocity from the audience. I literally saw its birth one night on stage while performing one of my compositions with one of the many incarnations of Jazz bands I had assembled. I created my sound which is an unorthodox hybrid of adult Pop music that is deeply rooted in Jazz, thick RnB grooves,
ambient guitars and keys with lush vocal arrangements. It is all
created by humans not machines.... I want to sound like me, the artist, not like the software with which it was recorded."

Thanks so much for listening to my music that I call Organica™. Organica is a ferociously nuanced hybrid of Alternative Pop that is deeply rooted in lush vocals, ambient guitars, with thick, dynamic grooves all created by humans not machines. Yummy!

I wanted something ‘lo-fi’ as opposed to the cloned sounds of today’s pop culture environment. I needed my music to sound like me rather than the equipment it was recorded on. Plus, I feel a huge affinity — love affair even — for the singer/songwriter era of the seventies and eighties. Habit is a collection of songs with a penetrating pulse that defines my human condition of late. Put together the myriad of contrasting emotions of my past two years in a set list, and you have Habit.

As for the title and the title song, everyone’s got a Habit (or two). Be it positive or negative, a habit can be the ultimate distraction, what slowly kills you, or what sets you free. So, choose your Habit wisely. I hope you start with mine.  Margo Rey

A lot of great things have happened to me since the release of my last album, My Heart’s Desire and a couple songs that I wrote that were re-mixed into dance singles by some of the top DJ’s in the biz.

Music has always been my clearest form of expression. I believe it is one of the most beautiful ways humanity can truly communicate – its vibration is universal and transcends boundaries, languages and cultures.  It’s my great fortune to be signed with a phenomenal record label, Organica Music Group/Universal, which has allowed me to share the experience of my music and passion with you. Thanks to all who share in my groove.
