MAE EDWARDS’ ETHEREAL ROCK SOUND EARNS HER A SECOND
HOLLYWOOD MUSIC IN MEDIA AWARD (HMMA) NOMINATION FOR HER
EMPOWERING FUTURE ANTHEM ‘FACE IN THE CROWD’

 

LOS ANGELES – The multi-talented songwriter, performer and author Mae Edwards (www.maeedwards.com [3]) picked up her second Hollywood Music In Media Award [4] (HMMA) nomination for her upbeat and empowering song, Face In The Crowd [5] in the Adult Contemporary/AAA category. The 7th Annual HMMAs will take place Thursday, November 20, 2014 at The Fonda Theatre in Hollywood.  The HMMAs honor music from visual mediums, individuals who create and produce it, and both mainstream and independent musicians from around the globe.

The ethereal indie rocker scored her first HMMA in February in the Adult Contemporary/AAA category for her single Anything Anymore from the first CD of the set No Prayers Could Ever Save Me From the Love You Never Gave Me. Mae recently released her highly anticipated new full-length recording Hieroglyphs of Emotion to iTunes and Amazon on April 7.

Hieroglyphs of Emotion is the second disc in a four CD, 45 track year-long rollout of provocative, cutting edge music connected to an ambitious multi-media project that includes the ethereal indie rocker’s lushly illustrated hardcover book “Starlette & Saint: A Memoir on Dualism.”

The volume includes lyrics and chord charts for every song and beautiful spiritual prose commenting on them. Her commentaries reflect her years-long studies into numerous spiritual traditions (Christianity, Buddhism) as well as thought provoking references to world history, psychology, folklore, U.S. travel destinations and popular film.

Released December 1, 2013, Edwards’ first disc in the series, No Prayers Could Ever Save Me From the Love You Never Gave Me, has received across the board critical praise. Devon Cathlin of Surf Rock Music described it as, “Pure shining brilliance – and, in this case, using both shining and brilliance is NOT a redundancy, but an understatement!”

Tony Pinizzotto of Edge On The Net [6]  has called the book, “. . . a strong multi-leveled Spiritual Rock . . . (and) a valid representation of the pendulum of spirituality we occur on a daily basis.”

As 2014 progresses, Edwards plans to release the next two discs in the series, Elements in Continuity/Essays On Parallelism (Disc 3) and finally, Grace (Disc 4).

Adding depth, gravitas and edge to fresh recordings of these pieces, she co-produced them with Johnny Karlsson, a onetime Swedish guitar wunderkind best known for his extensive work in TV, film and game music.

The tracks were later mixed by Eric Greedy, whose pop/rock resume includes everyone from Ringo Starr and Robbie Robertson to Barbra Streisand, Smashing Pumpkins and Kelly Clarkson.

The songs and book are also available digitally, with musical tracks downloadable as mp3s from www.maeedwards.com [3], iTunes [7], Amazon [8] and iTunes/Bookstore [9].
