Shoshana's record finally has a release date!

Yes!! This woman is amazing!

I know I'll be purchasing one. I think this could do EXTREMELY well on the adult contemporary charts. If she can get on The View and Regis and Kelly. She'd sell this album to those middle aged women.

It's a great song!

Guess we never know...there might be better material we've yet to hear...

It's all in the promotion, so if she can manage to appear on the top day time TV shows, she should be on the right track.

Ellen is quite the one to give rising talent a chance.

The View is usually good with musical theatre promotion, as are Regis + Kelly on occasion.

SNL? Guest star as the 'live act' on those kind of shows.

Then get her ass to the UK and promote the hell out of it haha.

Her myspace has her down as 'unsigned' last time I checked.

I believe she's signed with Brian McKnight's label (or at least she was if she's not anymore)... not a coincidence that she sang with him on the Lady of Soul Awards.

She is also performing at the "Kingdom" party at Anaheim's House of Blues as part of Gay Days Anaheim at Disneyland the first Saturday in October.

The cover art reminds me A LOT of Leona Lewis' CD cover...

Hurm, does anyone remember all the money that went into marketing Idina Menzel's album? And how it was playing in every movie theater and every mall, and it didn't make Idina a household name?

It's all a matter of luck and timing, and are people ready to see a nice Jewish Girl from the Northwest sing soul/r&b? Don't mean to be a pessimist but the cards are not stacked in her favor.

The thing about Idina's album was that its nice, but not really a mainstream sound.

I doubt Shoshana will have mainstream success (even though its deserved) with her record, but she has a much better chance because it's more 'now' and has a soulful and r&b sound...while Idina's sounded like a musical theatre star doing pop.

Yay Shoshana. Her show at Joe's Pub was crazy. In, you know, the good way.

Shoshana's songs are way more catchy. I have Idina's album and honestly, I like only 2 songs and even so, they sound pretty similar. I still firmly believe Idina should do more jazz, rather than pop.

And just that day I was randomly checking out Sho's singles off her myspace and my housemate passed by and he was like, "Woah, who's that? It's awesome." Well perhaps, with more airtime on the radio, ppl will start noticing her singles first before they know who Shoshana is, because granted she isnt very popular. Her first single is critical.

With idina's case, it was more like "Oh, Star of smash hit RENT and WICKED - here's her CD." But her pop songs pale in comparison to what the pop industry can offer. Plus, she isnt that popular out of MT circles either.

Maybe that could make all the difference? Just hope it works out for her too, she deserves it.
