Teaneck, NJ (PRWEB) April 05, 2012

The latest album from British troubadour Jon Allen, entitled “Sweet Defeat,” will find its way to America on April 10th via the new indie label startup, OK!Good Records. “Sweet Defeat” was originally released in the UK in May of 2011 and now seeks further success across the pond. Impatient fans don’t have to wait for the official release date to hear the album, OK!Good Records has pre-released the album on their website (http://www.okgoodrecords.com), where it can be streamed for free or purchased in both physical CD and digital form. The US version of the album will also contain two bonus tracks: “Sarah,” featuring Mark Knopfler of the Dire Straits and “When the Morning Comes,” featuring fellow British singer/songwriter Amy Smith.

Sweet Defeat is Jon Allen’s sophomore effort, who found success early on when his song “Going Home” was featured in a 2008 UK advertisement for Land Rover. With the song a commercial success via tens of thousands of downloads, Allen’s critical acclaim continued to grow in England with rave reviews, an appearance on Later With Jools Holland and five singles playlisted on BBC Radio 2.

The Devon born, raspy voiced singer/songwriter will now make an impression in 2012 with the US release of his new album, Sweet Defeat. Produced by Tristan Longworth, Sweet Defeat is backed by the same raw emotional intensity that has become so distinctive of Jon Allen, frequently drawing comparisons to a young Rod Stewart. Showing an impressive air of confidence and maturity in his songwriting, the album tells about love in all stages – from the initial attraction and passion to heartbreak and loss of hope. Sweet Defeat seamlessly transitions from solo acoustic, finger picked songs to upbeat and instantly memorable band anthems.

With so much influence pulled from traditional American folk, blues and classic rock, American listeners will be hard pressed to detect any evidence of British origin in Jon Allen’s music, as indicated by BBC Music in a review of Sweat Defeat, “While his passport may substantiate the on-paper Britishness of this Hampshire-born artist, his yarns and philosophies paint a picture of a grizzled American folk musician, decades of abandon behind him.”

Schiller’s new album, “Timeline: The Very Best of 1998 – 2011,” chronicles over a decade of musical success for the critically acclaimed German electronic music artist. Released by indie label startup OK!Good Records in North America on Tuesday, March 13th 2012, the new album features 18 of the best and most important songs of Schiller’s career from prior albums such as “Zeitgeist,” “Voyage,” “Day and Night,” and “Desire.”

Schiller, aka Christopher von Deylen, is one of the most prolific and hard-working musicians in the electronic music genre. With over 650,000 albums sold since 1998 (and counting) and multiple sold out live tours, Schiller’s worldwide acclaim continues to grow. Schiller’s ethereal “global pop”, as his fans and the press have coined the style, gives the listener a feeling of floating in a dream world. Inspired by electronic classics such as Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, and Jean-Michel Jarre, von Deylen is known for creating visionary sounds that are way ahead of their time.

2011 proved to be a successful year for the German musician, composer and producer, as his 6th studio album, “Breathless”, was released in the US, followed by a series of sold out live shows throughout Europe and Russia. Now in 2012, “Timeline: The Very Best of 1998-2011,” reflects back on Schiller’s long musical history, which includes an enormous amount of collaborations with other artists. This list touts names such as Nadia Ali, Colbie Caillat, September, Lang Lang, Anggun, Kim Sanders, Mike Oldfield, Moya Brennan, Xavier Naidoo, Heppner and more.

Schiller’s “Timeline: The Very Best of 1998-2011,” is currently available for purchase and free streaming on http://www.okgoodrecords.com. Fans may also find the album on iTunes, Amazon and at other major retailers.
