Gloria Miller

Perky Record Company is thrilled to announce the release of Gloria Miller’s debut Jazz Album, Let Go!

Let Go is a musical journey through love, loss and recovery. Gloria is a prolific songwriter, and each song comes from a deeply personal place covering an eclectic range of genres including, Swing Jazz, Smooth Jazz, Latin Jazz, R&B and Blues.

It’s been over 10 years since Gloria’s last release and this long-awaited album shows her growth as a singer and songwriter.  Production began on this project in May, 2009 and consists of 10 original songs. This recording was a collaborative effort with extremely talented musicians whose work has been associated with the likes of Natalie Cole, Diana Krall and Michael Buble.

Highlights include He’s The One which is a comedic look at how fantasy often gets confused with reality where love is concerned.  Then there’s the Anita Baker-inspired Your Touch that is bound to be a Smooth Jazz favorite.  No CD is complete without the proverbial “brag” song and Gloria does this very subtly with Shine which includes a play on her nickname … Glo. 

“I wrote this album on the heels of a devastating breakup and I saw writing it as a chance to pour out everything I was feeling as I travelled the road to healing. Often pain and suffering causes us to grow,” Gloria reflects.  “Ironically, when I was recording Let Go & Let God, a memoir of the breakup, I had just gotten engaged to the guy who broke my heart and inspired the song.  Needless to say, the tears flowed in the studio during the playback … both tears of sadness in remembering and tears of joy in letting go of the past.”

Let Go was pre-released exclusively to Gloria’s mailing list and the early reviews have been promising.

"Wow, what a voice! Thank you so much for giving me a "peek" at your soon to be released CD. Very, nice! I wish you great success..."
