Urgency
© 2008 Ross Christopher Donaldson


VERSE 1

I saw the sun
Give birth to the day
And this could be the one
Urgently

Like mimicking Paul's cry
Or storming England's shore
Yeah, this could be the one
Urgency


CHORUS
Urgency…


VERSE 2
So here we are again
Living the day
This could be the one for me
Urgency

CHORUS
Urgency…

Peace,
Ross

LiveFMG - Album Review

Here's a recent review of the new album, from LiveFMG:

As I quest the realm of the internet prospecting for music to fill my show, I occasionally stumble upon something shiny and sparkly. Ross Christopher’s sixth studio album Boxes And Human Fog caught me quite by surprise. Mr. Christopher, the acclaimed musician that has sold thousands of albums internationally, unleashes soaring vocals that proclaims this music ROCKS without ever pushing the boundary of getting screechy.

Without being self indulgent, “Urgency” transports the listener from a catchy riff into a jam reminiscent of a dark tunnel and then back out on the other side - a musical journey well worth taking. The acoustic beginning of “Doubt Brings Hope” suggests that the music is going to slow down, but the songs crescendo highlighted by a U2-esque machine gun drum line begs to differ.

The song “War on War” sums up the entire album for this reviewer. The song combines Mr. Christopher’s powerful vocals along with an almost anthem like beat that builds throughout the song. In addition, the artist flexes his lyrical writing muscle with this infectious chant, “I'm declaring a war on war / Cause war's a dirty dirty whore / Who soliders on to break and bleed / And kills all humanity.”

The six months Mr. Christopher spent writing and recording Boxes And Human Fog at Silo Tree Studios and Ardent Records was obviously time well spent. Records like Boxes And Human Fog are why I mine the internet. In this reviewer’s humble opinion Ross Christopher’s Boxes And Human Fog is very shiny gold nugget.

ALBUM COVER REVEALED!

Here it is folks!

I'm really happy with how it turned out. There were several drafts; one of which (for a couple months anyway) was going to be the cover. But in the end, this one seemed to propel the music and experience forward in the most representative way.

This is your last weekend to PRE-ORDER the new album for $5!
Monday, the price doubles...

poster #2

Here's the 2nd poster to emerge from my photo shoot with Brandon Schultz (Kansas City). Check out BRS PHOTOGRAPHY HERE!

I really like the mood and minimalism of both posters. From a "live show" perspective, it serves as the calm before the storm (in the total concert experience).

Tomorrow I'll show off the album art, so be sure to check back in.

Thanks for reading & peace!
Ross

poster #1

Here's the 1st poster to emerge. Brandon Schultz took the pic & directed the shoot. His stuff is incredible. Check out BRS PHOTOGRAPHY HERE!

More posters in time...

Peace,
Ross

the new album art...

Welp, I'm not divulging it just yet. Sorry, you'll have to be patient, but when I do, I'll be unveiling the 2 new promo posters as well. It is finished however. The CD art is being printed as we speak/write/read, and the CDs are being pressed! I'm so excited to get copies into your hands...

Speaking of, there's only 1 more week to PRE-ORDER for only $5, before the price doubles.

I hope all is well.

Peace,
Ross

RC gone to the Opera + my best critics response!

It was a whirlwind trip to Memphis and back, but we made it to Ardent Records and got the new album mastered. I know I'm biased, but it sound AMAZING! Its huge folks, really huge...

As always, the kind folks at Ardent treated me well (more studio vids to come), and the BBQ was epic!

Here's a couple quick vids...#1 is RC gone to the opera, and #2 are my best critics reacting to the master.





If you liked what you saw/heard, PRE-ORDER IT HERE!!!
Peace,
Ross

It is Finished...

Today I wrapped my album, BOXES & HUMAN FOG!

The recording...done.
The mixing...done.
The exhaustive listening and tweaking...done.

I could (potentially) do these 3 steps over and over and over again...always hearing something to fix, thinking of new parts to add, etc. But today I felt a final sense of completeness and am ready to step away from this album.

Now its off to Memphis, TN to get the album mastered at Ardent Records. Once they do the final mastering/magical touches to eq's, levels, panning, etc, it goes off to duplication!

In the mean time, you can PRE-ORDER it HERE for only $5.

Peace & thanks for all of the support!
