AVIS HARRELL RELEASES A NEW A PATRIOTIC R&B SINGLE

Los Angeles, California â Nearly a year after her debut solo release, âSelf Containedâ, Avis Harrell returns with âIâll Be Here When You Returnâ, a deluxe single release dedicated to the troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. The smooth mid-tempo ballad is paired with Harrellâs take on âAmerica The Beautifulâ, a song Harrell recorded as a Raelette with Ray Charles. To complete the package, a music video/mini movie for both songs is included. The deluxe edition release is available at www.cdbaby.com/avis2.


âIâll Be Here When You Returnâ is inspired by âWish You Were Here With Meâ, a Vietnam-era ballad Harrell performed with her sisters, as The Fawns. âWish You Were Here With Meâ became an underground soul classic, telling a story of a young womanâs devotion to her lover overseas fighting in the war and is still being played today on local radio stations in Washington D.C. Harrell revisits the theme with a slightly more mature groove. The vibraphone shades on âIâll Be Here When You Returnâ offer a subtle tribute to âWish You Were Here With Meâ.

Her recording of âAmerica The Beautiful.â Offers full gospel fervor with a contemporary edge to the song whose definitive rendition was recorded by her former boss and mentor, Ray Charles. The song is Harrellâs tip of the hat to her time with Ray Charles. Once again, she has arranged, played & produced a project that Iâm sure will be enjoyed for years to come.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this release will be donated toward food and supplies for the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
