The Movement (LJK)

The Movement (LJK)

Three hot new artists have come together to record their first studio album, THE MOVEMENT(LJK), at the prestigious New Vision Studios in Asheville, North Carolina. One year after meeting each other in the studio, doing separate projects, Lovechilde, Jemiah and Kormelo (LJK) started conversing about how great it would be to work together.Though sometimes it seemed as if it could never happen, due to their individual constraints and obligations, here they are performing and promoting their new release.

One of the reasons they chose to record together was because they always seemed to be on the same page in regards to stage and studio performances. Lovechilde had already formed a band he labeled the Super-band and they were blowing away those fortunate enough to hear their warm and colorful sound. Working with Jemiah and Kormelo could only enhance what was there and make it better. Now their crowd pleasing performances consistently fill dance floors and rock stages.

Lovechilde has been writing, arranging, producing and performing music for many years, working with such R&B funk-sters Cameo and the gospel group Terry Letman & Friends. He’s now one of the most in demand writers and produces in Western Carolina. Whether it’s a pop, R&B, rock, alternative or hip-hop production, he does it well. Jemiah “The Princess” is an astonishing new vocalist found singing in church by Label Owner / Producer Terry Letman. When the idea of including a female artist came up, she was the first and only name brought to the table. Classically trained in voice, piano and clarinet she sounds like an angel and effortlessly performs perfection. Kormelo has been the lead singer for several regional groups like Qwest and 2BTrue, and has opened for many acts such as Eight Ball & MJG, Ludacris, G-Dep and Juvenile. After attending The Recording Workshop in Ohio (Late 2002) he received an audio engineering certificate and established Lost Tribe Productions. Together they have created a classic. THE MOVEMENT is beyond neo-soul but a close cousin to Earth, Wind and Fire meets Mary J. Blige (Soulhop).

Some of the songs, like “Unstoppable,” “I’m Gone,” “Let’s Get Away” and “Everyday Everyway” depict a divers array of R&B styles. Other songs, like “Work It Out,” “Good Times” and “Let’s Get Rowdy” (a reggae influenced hit) are eclectic urban / pop bangers. “I Really Miss You” (a crossover hit) was written with mainstream radio in mind. All the songs are great on CD but are ultra incredible live. When performed along with the Super-band they are just infectious to making you move.

Throughout the next year Lovechilde, Jemiah and Kormelo will be touring and performing any and everywhere possible. They will also finish recording their solo albums during the short breaks.

We hope you enjoy THE MOVEMENT and have fun at the shows
