Jay-J's LOVE ALIVE is finally here

My good friend Jay-J has spent the last two years crafting his debut artist album, LOVE ALIVE which is a smooth collection of meaningful and positive songs about love and sensuality. I also pretty much spend the last two years talking about it on this site as I saw the album progress from a few rough ideas on his laptop to what it turned out to be today. More than just "dancefloor music", Jay-J delivers the goods and raises the bar with this strong, lyrically driven, warm and uplifting album. Not bound by any particular genre, Love Alive touches upon a wide range of music ranging from soulful house to downtempo chill to R&B and electro. Thoughtful lyrics and beautiful vocals are provided by Big "Brooklyn" Red, Michelle Shaprow, Charlene Moore, Brian "BAM" Morgan, Judy Albanese and Fabian Leo with lush sounds and edgy instrumentation performed by a slew of notable musicians including Scott Wozniak (Large/Defected) and Tim K. (Home & Garden/Collette/Lucy Woodard/OM Records).

The remixes are also coming and they are going to be hot! I again had the privilege to hear some of them and I am itching to play them out and on the radio show but I can't yet.... for now they only live in my car until the promos come out. Some of the names that are remixing for Jay-J are Miguel Migs, Jon Cutler, JT Donaldson, Giom, Ron Carroll, Morten Trust, Random Soul, Roberto De Carlo, Joshua Heath, Ethan White (Tortured Soul), DJ Meme, Deep Josh, Harley and Muscle, Christian Alvarez and many more.

Jay-J has a dedicated web page to the album on his site where you can see videos and hear radio interviews about how the album came about. You will also find there links to all the different retailers that carry the album and all of it's bonus tracks. Please visit the LOVE ALIVE page to get all the details.

As I mentioned previously Jay-J had contest which allowed fans to remix the title track from his album. The quality of all the remixes was really amazing and it was hard for him to pick the winner and the runners up but after many hours of listening to the submissions here are his 3 picks in their respective order (my favorite was #2 the Jon Milson remix):
