Prophet Records Announce Release of Jamie Skylar's New Album Marmalade

Los Angeles, CA, January 23, 2018 (Newswire.com) - ​The first single It Makes Me Crazy from the new album by international performer, recording artist and Producer Jamie “Sky” Skylar will be released on Friday, January 26th, according to a spokesperson for Prophet Records.

For Skylar’s devoted fans, it’s felt like a long wait, but It Makes Me Crazy is just the first of four singles slated to drop prior to the release of the album –­ titled Marmalade – on April 27th, which will be available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and other music sites worldwide. Pre-sales for the album will begin March 23rd.

"From the first time I heard it," I said, "the world has got to hear It Makes Me Crazy," said five time Grammy® Award-winning Producer John Jones (Celine Dion; Duran Duran). "It's a tremendously important song, especially given the turbulent times we are living in, where the need to examine our priorities and to promote love, peace and brotherhood throughout the world has never been greater or more urgent. This song says it all so well and Skylar gives an inspired vocal performance worthy of recognition."

"From the first time I heard it,” I said, “the world has got to hear It Makes Me Crazy,” said five time Grammy® Award-winning Producer John Jones (Celine Dion; Duran Duran). “It’s a tremendously important song, especially given the turbulent times we are living in, where the need to examine our priorities and to promote love, peace and brotherhood throughout the world has never been greater or more urgent. This song says it all so well and Skylar gives an inspired vocal performance worthy of recognition.”

It Makes Me Crazy paints a "Lennon-esque" picture of Skylar’s trip to the Vatican with friends, where she comes face to face with the cold, hard truth about the way the church covets its wealth over the needs of its devoted poor – people who are obviously starving just outside the door and roughly shooed away by Vatican staff – which so outraged the outspoken singer, songwriter and human rights activist, she felt compelled to write about it – but before she could get to it ­– the lyrics came to her in a dream a few nights later.

Also contributing to the magic at the Hyde Street Studios (San Francisco) and LAFX (Los Angeles) were multi Grammy® Award-winning Engineer Mark Needham (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Paul Simon, Fleetwood Mac, Chris Isaak); Drums and Percussion, Ernest “Boom” Carter (Bruce Springsteen-Born to Run); Bass, Bobby Vega (Etta James, Zero); Lead and Rhythm Guitar, William (Bill) “Sputnik” Spooner (The Tubes, From Mall to Mars); Guitar and Steel Guitar, Jeff Watson (Night Ranger); and Keyboards and Strings, Co-Producer George Michalski (San Francisco, Yosemite, Barbra Streisand’s Greatest Hits, Vol. 2).

A limited tour, television and other appearances are planned to support the album, subject to Skylar’s prior filming and other commitments. Skylar and Jones will team up again later this year for the soundtrack of the upcoming feature film, The Caul of Moijan, written, produced and directed by Skylar for Skylar Film Studios, LLC. Family ties of note, also in the business, include Skylar’s son, Producer Dylan Johnson (Waterfront Property), and actors, brother Don Johnson (Miami Vice, Nash Bridges) and niece Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey).
