A SoundClick Urban Chart Number 1!

Three months ago I wrote a top-line (melody-line and lyrics) to an urban/R&B backing track that Isham Bachir, a new artist in Switzerland, sent me. The track, Body Beautiful, has now been recorded by Isham and is being produced up at studios internationally. (At least two different versions are expected... possibly three. Can't wait!)

The first of these finished masters Isham has placed on SoundClick (which is like MySpace but JUST for music... no hairbrush divas and other nonsense). It's global and has charts in various genres.

Isham emailed me at the end of last week to say that Body Beautiful had been submitted to the Urban Charts and out of 57,065 songs had reached number 1! Please click on the link to hear Body Beautiful... Feel free to vote/post a comment. We'd love to hear from you.


On a totally different note, just to prove that ol' Chris Breen here, can write lyrics and top-lines in very (even extremely!) diverse genres of music (no pigeon holes here!!), Hey Old Friend, a traditional country song has been featured on pod radio broadcasts 'State Side'. This track started out as a backing track that came across to me from Actor, Singer and Musician Paul Gelsomine in Norway. I wrote a top-line and then Paul adapted that to suit his voice and style. Please check out the links below to hear that song... What d'you mean you can't dance to it?

Hey Old Friend

Please check out my Lyrico website and if you're a composer/songwriter needing a co-writer, you'll find a very wide spread of styles I work in there from pensive, introspective ballads, sexy Urban/R&B, chart-style/commercial songs, power-pop, indie, rock, dance, country & country rock, jazz, musicals...

Speak soon.

All the best,

Chris
