We are proud to announce the new and much anticipated CD, Fireleap, from artist Michelle Mays is now available. Fireleap is Michelle's third CD and has already met with much acclaim being featured in Genre Spotlights and moving up quickly in the Pop and Folk Charts.

Fireleap's season is that of Beltane and the regenerative forces that push, move, and stream forth from the lusciousness of Spring's outpouring. This CD is the ultimate Chant CD for Beltane.

In a recent review by noted Llewellyn author, Carl Neal, said this about Michelle's work and Fireleap: "Wow. Once again I am stunned by a CD. Track after track is moving and beautiful. The first two tracks alone are worth the price of admission. Somehow, every CD you create manages to bring tears to my eyes and this one is no exception. The sheer joy and energy of the music transports me away from mundane life. Michelle, you are the greatest musical treasure this state has offered the world since Woody Guthrie. The vocals, instrumentals and mixing are all superb. Track 7, "Dream Weavers", is particularly stunning. It's complex and simple at the same time. It is beauty that only true musical talent could unleash. Thanks Michelle - you're a true gem."

Each song on this CD has been hand picked or specially created for the Beltane season.

Among the nine tantalizing tracks on the CD are classics such as Yabbo, an African Chant for peace, healing and Community. Well known Musician Heather Alexander added her distinct voice to this track. The strong tribal vocals and mesmerizing drum beats will fill the mind with images of exotic places.

With permission from Starhawk, Michelle reworked the chant Snakewoman to create Snakewoman/Spiral of Life, which has already met with much critical acclaim.

From the title track, Fireleap, Michelle weaves a magical spell of enchantment for the individual, the family and world.

And what would a Beltane CD be without Gently Johnny? Many will be glad to hear that her instant classic of Gently Johnny has been leant to this CD as well.

Evoking Beltane does just what it promises in its title, while Dream Weavers takes the mind to a place only glimpsed by meditation.

Michelle also weaves the interconnection of magick, energy, and love in Making a Connection.

For the finale of this work, the ending two tracks were woven together to form a message from the Goddess. Creation... is the prelude to Michelle's own take on the classic Earth My Body. As a special surprise, the voice of Mother Earth- sounds of the Earth, recorded from our spacecraft orbiting the earth, has been added to enhance the meaning of the Earth My Body chant. These recorded sounds resemble the sounds of Nature!
