Though Alyson has tasted the Top 10 with her first two singles “Feel You” and “What’re You Gonna Do,” both fell short of pole position on Billboard’s Hot Dance Music/Club Airplay charts.

“Nothin’ More to Say,” the newcomer’s third time out, could be the charm.

“You hope every single you put out will hit #1,” says Alyson. “So far, though, the #1 has eluded me.”

Alyson hopes to build on her growing popularity and name recognition among club audiences and DJs with “Nothin’ More to Say.” To add extra fuel to the fire, the self-made star called in the big guns for the remixes - including Grammy Award-winning producer Hex Hector.

“We have a lot of awesome mixes on this single,” Alyson notes. “Hex’s mix is amazing. Eric Kupper and Norty Cotto are turning out amazing mixes.” As for whether it has what it takes to go “all the way,” Alyson says, “You can only hope!”

The 25-year old singer and former personal trainer says “Nothin’” was originally written as an emotive slowjam about lost love. Alyson notes the “chorus was just crying out for the dancefloor.” “The ballad is part one of the song,” Alyson explains. “The remix is part two. Together they tell a really powerful story.” Early speculation was that “Nothin’” would have a flavor reminiscent of Deborah Cox, a favorite of both Alyson and Hector. “People thought that because it was a ballad remixed by Hex, it would sound like her,” she says.

Alyson debuted the song live the first night of West Hollywood club Avalon’s “Ken” night performing the song live with Hex. As Alyson knew would be the case, the song proved to be nothing like Cox.

“It’s actually quite a different style as far as the remix style for Hex,” the singer describes. “He’s moving in a really interesting direction musically, so it actually sounds very different than his past remixes.”

The “Nothin’ More to Say” CD maxi-single with all mixes of the track is available now. In the near-term, fans clamoring for the track can find it in both its original ballad and Hex’s extended remix versions on Alyson’s debut CD Take a Good Look. The 15 tracks on Take a Good Look, which hit stores this Spring, showcase a wide array of styles The singer sounds equally comfortable performing breezy pop numbers like the Islands-flavored “Forever” and R&B-tinged “Baby Come Back.” Many of the cuts are found in both their original forms and, later, remixed for club airplay.

Unquestionably, Alyson is most at home on the dancefloor. Awaiting immediate DJ attention is the Randolph Club Mix of the CD’s title track. Sizzling “Didn’t Ya Think,” another uptempo confection, bears an uncanny likeness to Kim Wilde’s mid-80s chartopper “You Keep Me Hangin’ On.”

The singer is rightfully proud of the album, not only for its success to date but because of its commercial availability in general. Unlike most artists, who are discovered, produced and promoted by a record label, Alyson did it all on her own. On the surface, it seems Alyson’s career has been built on a series of chance encounters. However, the singer - who appears to be as talented in business as she is musically - says she left little to “chance.”

“It was more like really doing the research about the industry, about how it works and getting out there and meeting the people who are doing it,” she says of the process by which she marketed herself and the record label she formed to promote her music. Alyson made calls too numerous to count. She flew across the U.S. to meet promoters, publicists and owners of regional record pools - little-known organizations which provide club DJs around the country with the latest in mainstream and independently-produced music.

“It was definitely deliberate meetings over the course of a number of months,” says Alyson, but does admit “some of it was definitely chance.” “Whenever you’re talking to someone, you never know who they’re going to refer you to or what they’re going to advise you about,” she says.

As the performer and business woman develops her own career, heading her own independent record label has its perks. Alyson envisions the opportunity to help others break into the industry.

“There are just so many amazing and talented people who, for various reasons, can’t get their stuff out there,” she says. “I would love to nurture and help new artists get their music heard.”

For the West Hollywood resident, it’s first things first though. With Take a Good Look still fresh in stores, and with appearances in the works to promote “Nothin’ More to Say,” Alyson is focused on her own music career at the moment.

“We’ll probably release a few more singles off Take a Good Look,” she shares regarding the future. “And we’re already working on my second album, which will be out next year.”

Meanwhile, as her music is now starting to reach the masses, Alyson truly enjoys performing for gay crowds. “The gay audience has been such a huge support to me,” she says. “I appreciate it so much, and I really love them for it!”
