Trilogy Records announces the release of
"We Need You" by Steve Holt.
Toronto, Canada - Trilogy Records announced today the release of "We
Need You", the first single from the new CD "The Dream"
by Steve Holt.
Steve Holt is a Juno award nominee with 4 albums to his credit and has
long been considered one of Canada's great pianists. Now Steve has crossed
over into mainstream pop-rock music with the making of his latest recording
"The Dream".
The first single from the upcoming album, "We Need You" was
written by Steve during the early part of 2001. It is the story of one
man's disillusionment with the things of the world and his turning toward
a higher ideal. It is a message that is especially appropriate to the
world today. "We Need You" is in full commercial release across
Canada and in select international markets on Trilogy Records International,
and distributed by Unidisc Music.
"We Need You" has already created a positive stir in the
Middle East. Recently the song came to the attention of a prominent figure
in the Islamic world, Iranian-born Aqdas Al-Moulok, a former journalist
and recent member of Pope John Paul II's delegation at the "Day of
Prayer for Peace in the World". During a 90 minute panel-interview
on Radio Monte Carlo broadcast throughout the Middle East, Aqdas arranged
for "We Need You" to be played. She then spoke of the song,
describing it as having "a great yet simple message…"
The full CD - "The Dream" - slated for release later this
spring, is filled with potent songwriting and performances, with eight
out of eleven tracks penned by Steve. The album also includes a remarkable
remake of the Beatles' "Let It Be" and the classic "Can't
Find My Way Home" by Blind Faith, the latter being included as a
bonus track on the "We Need You" single. The CD was produced
by acclaimed engineer/producer Darius Szczepaniak (Barenaked Ladies, Jann
Arden, Chantal Kreviazuk).
