The album features Margo’s new smash single, “Between Us” as well as her chart-topping hit, “Let the Rain.” The latter, co-written by Ms. Rey and the legendary John Oates, remained on the charts for an astonishing 21 weeks, making it a “Hot Shot Debut” on Billboard Mainstream AC Charts as well as earning her kudos in “Billboard” magazine’s “Bubble Under” column. The duo also teamed up on the stunning cut, “Saturn Returns.” Oates sings on both tracks and he provides an ideal complement to Rey’s powerful yet nuanced vocals. Listeners closest to it claim that “Habit” is its own brand of sonic luxury and Rey emerges as a force of nature — in heels no less.

Margo has a diverse and loyal fan base and, given her track record, her following is understandable. In less than a two-year span she has delivered five hits in diverse genres that include Adult Contemporary as well as Dance and Pop. She also charted two #1 Dance hits and, if that’s not enough, Rey also generated an original Christmas hit. 

Reflecting on the direction of “Habit,” Margo explains:  “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.” Ms. Rey employed a technique as simple as it is novel in today’s recording environment. She gathered extraordinary musicians in a room and they recorded (equally extraordinary) music together. If that doesn’t sound radical, it should — and “Habit” underscores the point. It’s a CD that never leaves the human vibe behind. It revels in it and, if anything, deepens it.

Margo has produced a collection of songs that reverberates with a gamut of emotions. Greed, love, lust, doubt, remorse, obsession and crazed vulnerability are all present — in abundance. “I hope listeners respond to the penetrating pulse in each of these songs. They’re an exploration of my contradictory feelings over the past two years. Roll all of those emotional tangents into a set list and you have, well, something that I hope will become a “Habit.”

The album unleashes thirteen songs, all of which are original. One exception is a gorgeous cover of The Zombie’s hit, “She’s Not There.” If you think you’ve heard the song before, think again. This version has more down-under burn than most people can handle. But it gets better.

every time I’m missing you… yeah, yeah	 
friends become lovers, too soon too separated 	
sharing a moment, but can’t perpetuate it			
paths temporarily meet 					
a love like you and i, it’s either yours or mine
it’s time for do or die, this is not how it was meant to be
you’ve become a habit to me				
it’s clear to us we need to be free
you’ve become a habit to me
it’s clear to us we need to be free
cause every time i’m missing you i put up a fight
 	every time you call my name i run to your side
wouldn’t you agree… that you’ve become a habit to me
every time I’m missing you… 
i want to love you but now i’ve got to leave you	
creating a memory of the things we never did do			
paths temporarily meet 					
a love like you and i, it’s either yours or mine
it’s time for do or die, this is not how it was meant to be

you’ve become a habit to me				
it’s clear to us we need to be free
you’ve become a habit to me
it’s clear to us we need to be free
because every time i’m missing you i put up a fight
every time you call my name i run to your side
wouldn’t you agree… that you’ve become a habit to me

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

Let The Rain

we are not alone you and i 
trying to make a home, but there something that stands between us
is it what draws us near, you and I, or is it just the fear
that something may come between us
and if i gave my life to you would it make things right? 
would i have your promise too that it’ll be alright? 
what if i held you so close to me you wouldn’t see my faults 
and could you ever look at me the same if you knew my thoughts 
i wanna give myself to you without the fear of it all
you kiss me on my mouth, ooh and it’s so sublime, 
but do you ever doubt that nothin’ can come between us
and if i gave my breath to you would it make things right?
would i have your promise too that it’ll be alright?
what if i held you so close to me you wouldn’t see my faults 
and could you ever look at me the same if you knew my thoughts 
i wanna give myself to you without the fear of it all
all the space between our dreams and reality 
only the truth will set us free, whatever you want
whatever you need, i want to give myself to you
without the fear of it all
	and if i gave my breath to you, would i have your promise too?
what if i held you so close to me you wouldn’t see my faults 
and could you ever look at me the same if you knew my thoughts 
i wanna give myself to you without the fear of it all
oh, what if i held you so close to me you wouldn’t see my faults 
and could you ever look at me the same if you knew my thoughts 
i wanna give myself to you without the fear of it all
fear of it all, fear of it all

Between Us (2012)

who'd a thought we've arrive at this place
pushing shoving tryin' to claim our own space
slammin' doors and screamin' at you
raising fists, throwing daggers too
blame's just a game that nobody wins
gotta get back, gotta get back
wash away all of our sins
pace all night like a caged animal
want off this ride it’s a bad carnival
you damage me; i hurt you back
we both retreat to plan our attack.
blame's just a game that nobody wins
gotta get back, gotta get back
wash away all of our sins
i have one million reasons
for what i do to keep your love around
throw out your indecision
let your heart resound
blame's just a game that nobody wins
gotta get back, gotta get back
wash away all of our sins
i'm so ashamed of the things that i do
let my emotions get the worst of you
could've taken the high road, now i'm taking the low road
too loud, too proud to give up and lose
blame's just a game that nobody wins
gotta get back, gotta get back
wash away all of our sins
i’ve got to get myself back, i’ve got to get myself back
i got to, get back gotta get back, get back gotta get back
blame’s just a game

Get Back

i saw you there don’t act like you don’t see me
my dress was fine and my shoes were fierce 
are you tryin’ out a brand new psychology acting like you don’t notice me
you look like your table hoppin’ maybe just girl boppin’
and i’m checkin’ out who’ll flirt back with me
i saw you and i couldn’t breathe your behavior had infected me 
i saw you and i couldn’t believe the coward you turned out, out to be
i thought they were my friends but i say never, never again, never again 
two fools are enough, enough for one calamity, never again, you keep bad company 
what you did hurts don’t you see, i know you never danced, you never danced with,
never danced, never danced with me
i saw you and i couldn’t breathe your behavior had infected me
i saw you and i couldn’t believe the coward you turned out, out to be
i saw you there. don’t act like you don’t see me, don’t act like you don’t see me
don’t act like you don’t see me, the coward you turned out to be
i saw you there don’t act like you don’t see me
my dress was fine and my shoes were off (ya know)
makin’ your rounds in a vacant playground starvin’ for some attention 
oh, oh! you are a slave in this twisted charade full of lovers lies and rejection
i saw you and i couldn’t breathe your behavior had infected me 
i saw you and you saw me, but pretended that you didn’t see
i saw you in all your misery, tryin’ hard to get back at me   
i saw you and i couldn’t believe the coward you turned out to be
never again, never again, never,never,never, never again, never again!

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.
