Naama Hillman Announces Internet Only Pre-Release for New Album, Mid Air

Online, February 9, 2010 (Newswire.com) - LONDON, UK, February 2010 London based singer-songwriter-producer, Naama Hillman, is set to launch her new album, "Mid Air", in an internet only pre-release.

Her second full length album to date, "Mid Air" was written, produced and recorded by Naama in her London studio. Many friends and fellow musicians including Naama's long time collaborator and husband, Ohad Ezer (Selfish Gene, Shrugged), and Morcheeba's Paul Godfrey , have helped to add instrumental depth and detail to an album of rare subtlety, beauty and - yes - fun.

The album was mixed by Jonny Cole (Catherine Feeney, Floetry) and mastered by Alan Douches (Midlake, Ben Folds, Sufjan Stevens).

As part of the internet pre-release, the album will be available exclusively from the official website. Fans can choose to download a free 3 song sampler, get the full album in MP3 or get the full download together with a signed CD.

Sticking to the "internet only" theme, Naama will perform a live acoustic webcast on the 21st of February, which will be available to view on a dedicated Facebook application. People from all over the world will be able to access the stream via their Facebook profiles, view the acoustic set, leave comments and interact.

A long time supporter of technology and music (Naama has been a part of the YouLicense.com team bringing it from concept to reality), Naama continues to explore the artist and audience relationship as she did with her free EP, In Between the Lights; harnessing the power of viral and social media, finding new fans and keeping existing fans up to date via Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Ustream as well as a series of live videos on YouTube.

"The possibilities created by the internet are endlessly inspiring. I love the fact that I can be a part of a community that is as passionate as I am about music, art and life in general. I love the fact that I can reach such a vast audience and interact with fans and friends alike, creating something that is larger than the sum of its part. It's exciting to be a part of it" said Naama. "Creating this album was such a process of letting go; letting go of pre conceptions, letting go of expectation, so it just feels appropriate to embrace new ways of releasing music and reaching out to people."

Exploring the balance between different music influences and sounds; and the journey from one place to another; the place in the middle; "Mid Air" brings together influences from Americana and Folk music to Modern Electronic Soundscapes and everything in between - "Ameritronica".

"I feel like I've created a sound for this album and worked hard to carve out a balance between so many different musical vibes , which reflect my own personal journey in life, that I really want this album to find a place where it can breathe and not be held back by conventions of radio and commercial music" says Naama.
