"Detroit Record Label’s Debut Album Delivers Honest, Uncompromised Music"

DETROIT - If you’ve been wondering whatever happened to “real” music, your wait is almost over.

A fresh, new sound with a vintage vibe will resonate with genuine music enthusiasts when Marc’s Project debuts later this month. The R&B/Neo Soul compilation is the debut effort from Muse Recordings, a new Detroit-based record label. An invitation-only album release party will be held at the Detroit Yacht Club on Nov. 19 to celebrate this momentous occasion.

“Everyone complains that there’s no good music on the radio,” said Marcus Collins, a Detroit native, who co-founded Muse Recordings with Mike Muse, of Lansing. “Well the opportunity to enjoy quality music is here, because that’s what this album provides.”

Collins, 25, and Muse, 26, who runs the satellite office in New York, decided to launch an independent record label in 2002 after obtaining engineering degrees from the University of Michigan because of their desire to impact the world through the universal language of music.

“Our goal isn’t to follow what’s hot right now, instead, we aspire to set our own trends,” said Collins, who produced and co-wrote Marc’s Project. “We’re musicians first, and we care about preserving this art form. We’re all about making authentic music that is relevant to today’s listeners.

Marc’s Project features dynamic, classically trained vocalists who cross the genre boundaries of R&B, Hip-Hop, Jazz and Gospel while delivering with soul, style and sincerity. The album’s 16 tracks feature a combination of passionate music and conversational lyrics that delve into the various aspects of love in a refreshing, honest way.

“It all ties back to our mission to deliver songs that address the everyday aspects of love, life and spirit,” Collins said. “We want the music to speak for itself. The music is the message.”

Muse Recordings not only seeks to take artistic risks with its music, but to be socially conscious as well. The label recently teamed up with Sean “P-Diddy” Combs’ Citizens of Change initiative, Power Moves Inc., and international recording artist Nelly during UofM’s homecoming weekend to encourage students and alumni to vote.

“For most of the undergraduates, this was their first election,” Muse said. “It’s great that there has been such a tremendous push to get young people registered to vote but all too often we lose that momentum to actually get to the polls. We wanted to encourage current students, as well as alumni, to take advantage of this opportunity to make a difference.”

While crossing the genre boundaries of RnB, Hip-Hop, Soul, Jazz and Gospel, our artists deliver with soul, style and sincerity.Though classically trained in the areas of vocal performance,theater, and composition; it is their inherent passion for the art that gives our sound a sense of authenticity. It is our goal at Muse Recordings to offer honest music and bring the essence of soul back home to its roots...Motown.
