Pieces Of Me

CAROL ALBERT / PIECES OF ME - Pieces of Me is her fourth full length smooth jazz album since becoming one of the genre's most popular core artists in 2017 and her 11th Full length Album. Genre: SMOOTH JAZZ. DIGIPAK - In a genre where song and album titles are often charming afterthought phrases not meaningfully connected to the music, one of Carol Albert's most remarkable trademarks has been writing and recording songs and albums whose names chronicle, express and reflect on different chapters in her life and the world around her. Inspired in part by an introspective poem the pianist/composer wrote while walking in the woods near her home in North Georgia, the ultra-melodic, stylistically and rhythmically eclectic Pieces of Me is her fourth full length smooth jazz album since becoming one of the genre's most popular core artists in 2017 and her 11th Full length Album. Thematically bookended by different versions of the title track, it's an infectious, emotionally relatable collection sharing a journey that captures an artful balance of the great, high spirited joyful moments of life and slightly darker moods representing those challenging pieces of life where we face sorrow and struggle. - With Producers Carol Albert, Paul Brown, Euge Groove, Roberto Vally and Lew Laing, Carol's successful collaborative flow continues on "Pieces of Me". Paul Brown, the two-time Grammy winning guitarist, producer and mega hitmaker, produced six of the tracks: the opening version of 'Pieces of Me", "Pink Flamango" and "Vertical Horizon" featuring Brown's guitar complementing the pianist's dynamic melodies, "City Walk", "Neptune Passion" and "Losing Myself". The album's first lead single "Sunshine Yellow," produced by Carol and bassist Roberto Vally and featuring guitarist Peter White, mixed and mastered by Euge Groove, was released in early 2024. It has been one of the pianist's biggest chart hits to date, reaching #1 on the Billboard, Mediabase and Smooth Jazz Network charts and becoming SJ Network's top song of the year, Billboard's #3 and Mediabase's #2 song of the year. The second single, the Euge Groove produced "Seaside Story" hit the Top Ten on Billboard, Mediabase and Smooth Jazz Network. Carol and Vally also collaborate on two other tracks, including the co-production of the reprise of "Pieces of Me
