If You Lost Your Mom Today....

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Brown) — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 20:24:00 +0000

Just wanted to tell all my fans...friends...and family Mothers Day is coming soon and if you're fortunate to still have your Mom here with you take the time to appreciate her! Let her know how much she means to you and that u appreciate what she's done for you.

My Mom left this earth July 1...and knowing that I know she knew how much I loved her cause I told her and showed her helps me to deal with her loss!

Ask yourself this question; If u lost your Mom today have u told her everything u want her to know? Have you spent quality time with her lately? If no...do it now while u still have a chance!

God Bless Ya!

The Music Business!

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Brown) — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 15:30:00 +0000

The music business!

Wow! What an adventure! I tell u...it's one of those things that u say, “well all I wanna do is sing...I didn't sign up for all the other stuff that goes along with it.” But then u look around and see other folks doing things they didn't sign up for and it makes u think well if they can do it so can I.

You gotta always consider others, have ur moment, and keep the bus movin.

"Activate or stagnate" says Gregory Griffith!

It's time to activate cause stagnating is not an option!

Thank You, Thank You & Thank You!

Soul Patrol’s CD Review For Rachel’s “Love, Life & Relationships”

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Brown) — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 18:31:00 +0000

Rachel Brown's "Love, Life and Relationships" is a songstress delight! Her vocal styles echo Mariah Carey and Heather Headley, and yet she has her own way of blasting out her melodies!

I started my listening with her cover of "Don't Ask My Neighbor" She does a great job, adding her own twist and lyrics, a haunting reminder of The Emotions, but smooth and funky enough for me to put it on repeat!

This fourteen track CD has enough great music for those who are in love, want to be in love, and have fallen out of love. Her voice is good, the songs are great!

My picks are tracks "2। Rise Again, 12. Promise of Love, 4. Don't Ask My Neighbor, and track 15. Let's Fall in Love Again"

Buy it at Amazon.com | Download it at iTunes

Enjoy, you'll like what you hear!

Mary J. Blige, Teena Marie & Rachel Brown - LIVE

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Brown) — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 21:00:00 +0000

MIAMI GARDENS, FL -- (FEBRUARY 1, 2010) -- South Florida emerging singing sensation Rachel Brown is among the confirmed artist to appear on the 2010 Jazz In The Gardens Music Festival. Rachel, who is one of South Florida’s most notable up and coming recording artist, will present songs from her debut CD, “Love, Life & Relationships,” which spawned the Billboard charting hit “Let’s Fall In Love Again.”

A mainstay in the South Florida entertainment market for nearly a decade, Brown is now developing a national following, playing venues across the U.S. in cities such as New York, Chicago, St. Louis and Dallas. Brown has also been featured at SXSW (Austin), The Black Women's Expo (Chicago), as well as opening for artists such as Mario, Tank Noel Gourdin, Chico Debarge, and 2009 "Jazz in the Gardens" headliners, Frankie Beverly & Maze.
Signed to Urban Music Group in 2007, RACHEL’s early notoriety came about due to the success of her debut single “Let’s Fall In Love Again,” which reached #1 on the Billboard R&B Single Sales Chart.

"Jazz in the Gardens," now in its 5th year, takes place on Saturday, March 20th and Sunday, March 21th at Sun Life Stadium, (formerly Dolphin/Landshark Stadium) 2269 Dan Marino Blvd, Miami Gardens, Florida 33056. The star-studded festival, hosted by radio personality Tom Joyner features headliners Mary J. Blige, John Legend, Teena Marie, Boyz To Men, Robin Thicke, Melanie Fiona and many more.

Jazz in the Gardens, a two-day weekend festival is now in its fifth year and has grown to be one of the top cultural events in America. Having something to offer all music aficionados at an affordable price, the 4th Annual Jazz in the Gardens shattered expected ticket sales, enjoying an attendance of almost 40,000, which was more than double the sales of the 2008 festival. In 2009, the Jazz in the Gardens crowd enjoyed the hip hop flavor of Common, the beautiful neo-soul melodies of Erykah Badu, the smooth R&B of Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds and the crowd-stopping soul of Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, among other a-list artists.

Happy Holidays Everyone.......

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Brown) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 19:04:00 +0000

I know i've been out of the saddle for a while....but I'm back!!! Hope everyones enjoying spending time with family and friends during this joyful season! Looking forward to a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

Thanks For Putting Gas In My Tank!

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Brown) — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 00:00:00 +0000

Hello Everyone….

I would like to say thanks to those of you who came out to show some love at the Riverfront February 20th…।we were small in number but large at heart! I really appreciate the support of my fans…u guys keep me motivated and striving to move forward in the music business!

Sometimes when you embark on a journey, you know that the trip will be long....but you may not think about when your car may become empty and you have to refuel your tank! When your tank is almost empty the car may not move as fast as it typically would if it was full. When this happens you may not see any stations in sight, but you continue on any way hoping and praying you don’t run out of gas before you find a station. Finally there’s one in sight and when you make it there you feel a sign of relief and you gain the confidence to continue on your journey!!!

I said all that to say…having the support of my fans whether small or large in number fuels my tank and gives me the confidence to continue on my journey to success!

Thank you guys soooo much for fueling my tank! I hope this inspires you to continue on your journey too! Know that you can do it! Lets do it together!

Peace and love,
Rachel

The Power Of Faith

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Brown) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 02:17:00 +0000

Its funny how life can be!

Its like walking down a long dark road....you may be able to see whats right in front of you but you don't always know what's coming!

What you do know is that no matter how hard you try to prepare for whats coming, it may not always work out as you plan. Nevertheless you prepare anyway, believing that things will work out for the good of those who love the Lord!

Having faith is such a powerful thing! I had faith that we would all come together and elect our first African American President into office...and so it is! I have faith that God is ordering his steps and the stimulus package that they are putting together will work and those that are out of work will be working very soon! Those that are about to lose their homes will hopefully be able to keep them at a very affordable rate!

I also believe that God is a healer....he will heal the bodies of those who are sick....and he will heal our great country! So why don't you have faith with me and lets join together and keep praying for those in need of healing and that God continues to bless our great president ....God Bless America!

Peace and Love,
Rachel

On your mark, get set, ready GO!

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Brown) — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 23:00:00 +0000

Hello Everyone....

I'm excited to say that we just experienced HISTORY and what a remarkable feeling it was! President Barack Obama is in the house....with that said I'd like to say the work has now begun and WE should do everything possible to make his reign in office a smooth one. We must work extra hard to continue to reach higher highs and deeper depths! Like the song says "I don't feel no ways tired, come too far from where I started from, nobody told me the road would be easy, but I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me!" We have no limitations now...so lets get out and make all our dreams come true!

On your mark, get set, ready GO..................................................

Love Ya,
Peace and Love

Rachel Adopts A Family This Christmas Season

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Brown) — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 06:21:00 +0000

Urban Music Group News Release

Urban Music Group recording artist Rachel Brown understands the significance of the proverbial saying, “to whom much is given, much is expected.” That is why Brown, whose debut single reached #1 on the Billboard R&B singles sales chart, will donate a $250 Visa gift card to a special family this Christmas season in hopes of brightening their holiday.

Brown wants her “Every Little Bit Helps” campaign to bring holiday cheer to a family that otherwise wouldn’t be able to celebrate a nice traditional Christmas celebration. “Being with your family is wonderful during the holiday season,” states the chart topping singer. But for some families, being together and not being able to enjoy a nice traditional holiday meal or to have gifts for the children to open can dampen the holiday spirit. That’s why I wanted to do something, even if it’s a small amount, because with the economy the way it is right now I do believe every little bit helps.”

Through her website blog, Brown is asking all of her fans from across the nation to recommend families that are in need. She has a special committee that will read through the nominations and select the family with the most compelling story and present them with the Visa gift card on December 15th.

“I’ve been blessed this year,” states Brown. “I recorded and released my first CD, which was a dream come true for me. I was blessed to have a song that went #1 on the singles sales chart. I’ve been able to pursue my dreams full time, and I’ve got wonderful fans that have supported me along the way. So, I’m truly fortunate. Now, I want to give something back. I want to bless someone, just as I have been blessed. Most of all, I hope I can inspire someone to do the same, no matter how big or small because every little bit does help. I think that is what the spirit of Christmas is all about.”

Would you like to suggest a family that can use some assistance this holiday season? Visit Rachel’s website at www.rachelbrownlive.com to submit their story.

Brown is a up and coming R&B singer/songwriter that has been lauded for the positive messages she delivers through her music। Her critically acclaimed debut CD entitled “Love, Life & Relationships” spawned the hit single “Let’s Fall In Love Again,” which rose to #1 on the Billboard R&B Singles Sales Chart in 2007।

To nominate a family, simply reply to this blog post your contact email, and the story of the family you are nominating। Names and locations of the family nominated are not needed at this time। Should your story be selected, you will be contacted via email. You will have 24hours to respond to the email or the next family will be selected. Once you are contacted via email a member from the selection committee will speak with you personally by phone to get the family information needed to present the visa card. We are asking each person to nominate only the families that are in need of assistance to make their Christmas a special one.

For more information of additional questions, contact icharles@theurbanmusicgroup.com

Thoughts & Prayers For Jennifer

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Brown) — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 17:50:00 +0000

I'd like to send out my deepest sympathy to one of the greatest singers of our time "Jennifer Hudson". Words cannot express what she's probably experiencing during what is undoubtably the worst time of her life right now. I'm sure it's extremely hard for her and her family and I'm asking that all of us continue to keep them in our thoughts and prayers so that she can get through these hard times! God Bless You and we love you Jennifer!

Peace and Love,
Rachel

Rock The Vote!

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Brown) — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:00:00 +0000

As you know this is an election year and we have a very important election in 2008. We’ve already made history by electing our very first African American to represent the democratic party as a candidate for President of the United States. Our next step is to make sure he’s elected to be the first black President. How awesome will that be for our children and our children’s children to know that they can truly become anything they’d like to become and to actually have a role model that has set the example for them?

What a truly amazing feeling that will be. So with that said, lets make sure we register to vote! And once you register, or if you are already registered, let your voice be heard!

Become a part of history by electing Barack Obama for President and lets get ready for CHANGE!

God knows we could sure use it!!

OBAMA FOR AMERICA!!!!

Peace and Love,

Rachel Brown
