Blue Hawk Records latest compilation album is underway and the Faces of Fourteen are finally here!
Studio time is being booked as the newly accepted artists are perfecting their tracks for future listeners far and wide. This album is beaming with the originality from artists of many backgrounds, majors, and styles never heard before at Blue Hawk Records. From EDM to Neo Soul, there are varying sounds and artistic perspectives for every audience.
The compilation albums are released at the end of each semester on major platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and iTunes. Blue Hawk Records is pleased to announce the artists who will be featured on the upcoming album: Kristen Wilczewski, Francesca Fuentes, Max Adolf, Mani Kissling, William Biedebach, Roman Smith, and Justin Richards.
Featured guitarist, Max Adolf described his experiences as a performer, “I’ve always found that there is a lot of joy in music when shared.” Adolf has paired up with junior Francesca Fuentes for their song, “Jealousy.” The two began working together just this year when Francesca heard Max on the 13th Blue Hawk Album, Superstition. When she showed him the original she had been writing they decided to combine their talents.
“He started adding his own flavor to the arrangement and we were having so much fun with it we decided to audition. This song is different from my previous releases ‘P.T.L.’ & ‘Rock W Me,’ so I’m anxious to start working” Fuentes said.
Max also commented on the success of their duo, “We have really great musical chemistry… I am really excited to get some of that out there for people to see.” The song uses a serenading melody to tell the story of two women in love with the same man. Senior Music Industry majors, Mani Kissling and William Biedebach “B.J.” are also bringing their talent into the spotlight this semester with their song, “Into The Jungle.” Mani expressed her excitement to be involved in this project, “We’ve been making music for a little bit now and figured it would be cool to get one of our songs on the album. So we’re pretty pumped to be given the opportunity!”
With the wheels now turning, the Industry program and featured artists are preparing to record, perform, and release an album that is sure to be a new favorite. So keep an eye out for the album release and get a taste of the refreshing talent around Monmouth University’s music community!
