Billboard Top-charting artist ALYSON is celebrating Valentine's Day

promotional copy of Alyson's new music video "FOREVER" for her new song
due out via her website on Valentine's Day (February 14th) as a FREE

features 3 different exclusive versions of the song including an
original pop/dancehall track featuring dancehall master Zeb and
produced by JY &Zeb, and big room dance remixes produced by the
world-renowned production team L.E.X.
Over the past year, pop singer/songwriter ALYSON has enjoyed a string
of 4 consecutive hit singles from her debut album all topping club
&radio charts worldwide and cracking the Billboard Dance Chart's
Top 10! From "Feel You", "What're You Gonna Do", "Nothin More to Say"
and "Take a Good Look", Alyson's infectious sound and catchy hooks have
single-handedly conquered dance floors around the world.
Nominated "Best New Recording Artist" for 2005 at the Winter Music
Conference's International Music Awards in Miami, Alyson generated
enough excitement over the last year that she was named a "Top 20
Artist of 2005" by Billboard Magazine. She's performed at numerous
high-profile events, headlining this year's Boston Pride, New York
Pride and Sacramento Pride Weekends. Boston's Bay Windows Magazine
declared in its Pride Guide "Alyson is one of the biggest draws to this
year's Pride Week". Alyson shared the stage with '80s icons Debbie
Gibson and Tiffany at the Los Angeles Gay Pride concert in 2005, and
again when she headlined the 2006 Sacramento Rainbow Festival. She
collaborated with Grammy Award-winning DJ/Producer Hex Hector and
world-renowned DJ/Producers Ralphi Rosario and Eric Kupper, and is
featured on numerous music compilations distributed worldwide. She
earned a prestigious nomination for "Best Music Video" at the 2006
Hollywood Film Festival, and took home the award for "Best Music Video"
at the 2006 California Independent Film Festival for her fourth single
"Take a Good Look" from her debut album of the same name.
Now Alyson is ready to give back! While her 4th single "Take a Good
Look" continues to spin on radio nationally and internationally, the
clubland siren continues to break new ground with her original
pop/dancehall track "FOREVER" offered as a FREE DOWNLOAD via her
website to thank fans and DJs who have continuously supported her.
She joined forces with dancehall reggae master ZEB to deliver a new
version of her original pop/reggae track "Forever" from her debut album
that combines Alyson's smooth, sultry R&B vocals with Zeb's
raucous, boisterous dancehall style. Zeb has enjoyed a series of hit
original songs including the unbelievably hip and infectuous "Pet the
cat" and "Supafly Sunday" which have been heard on MTV's hit show
"Laguna Beach" and on a variety of radio stations across the U.S.
including L.A.'s 'World Famous' KROQ and 100.3 The Beat. An expert
drummer, Zeb's reggae band "Detour Posse" has toured around the world
with such artists as Sean Paul and Barrington Levy, playing for crowds
of 20,000 or more at Bob Marley Day, Reggae on the River, Jamaica's
Sunsplash and many others.

arrangements and clear melodic vocals."
MIDEM Artist: POLARITY/1
Genre: Electronica, Alternative, Experimental
The music of Polarity/1 is exactly what the name suggests:
conjoined opposites - a mash-up of new: cutting edge electronica/hip
hop/nu-jazz and old: roots music of America (blues, funk, country,
early jazz), Brazil (samba, pagode, etc.) and West African groove
science.
MIDEM Artist: MIMI & TEFT
Genre: Dance - Electronic Pop
Mimi Boncato and Chris Hughes have been writing and producing music

material, re-recorded and re-mastered songs from the band's late-70s
heyday.
MIDEM Artist: IN THEORY
Genre: Alternative / Punk / Pop
Using their catchy tunes and amazing live shows, they set the stage
for the amazing future that lies ahead. Hard hitting drums, pounding
bass, thick guitars with both lead and backup vocals coupled with
acrobatics and energy on stage, the boys can pump up a crowd of people
in a graveyard.
MIDEM Artist: KOBO TOWN
Genre: Calypso / Reggae / World
Kobo Town is a Toronto-based group whose music draws its
inspiration from traditional calypso, roots reggae and dub poetry.
Named after the vibrant and turbulent neighbourhood in old
Port-of-Spain where calypso was born, the group strives to recover the
social conscience, satirical storytelling and strong acoustic/organic
rhythms that characterized Trinidadian music in the past
MIDEM Artist: MIKO MARKS
Genre: Country
The time is right for women of color in Country music and the world
