Eve Minor Takes Ex Rated Debut Into The Pop Stratosphere

John Mitty Tuesday, June 11, 2013

Valley Stream, NY (June 11, 2013) – It was announced today that the Long Island, NY based Eve Minor, whose music has been described as "experimenting with techno flavored art pop, like MNDR meets Madonna", has released her debut album entitled Ex-Rated on Soundcloud and other major music sites. You can preview the tracks here: http://www.soundcloud.com/eveminor.

From her bio: "…Controversial? Me? Never."

Eve Minor coyly begins describing her latest tasty creation Dirty Pop; a fusion of Grunge, Punk, EDM, hip hop and metal. EP, Ex Rated , is "super fun, and playful…" the songstress continues, having her lyrics described as “very tongue and cheek,” by Patrick Erlmich (The Cutting Room).

Eve Minor, isn’t just a name, "it’s, it’s own key," combining minor and major melodies with guitar feedback through a youthful, girl next door lens.

"I'm a Freak, but you love it…" the curvaceous instrumentalist chants, in a deviant party-goer anthem."…I like to keep my art part mystery…" Eve continues, with a long-lashed wink, "it’s superficial, and then you take a step back and go woah, I wonder what that means’ - that’s art."

Ex rated was recorded in L.A.’s well-accredited Moonshine studios (Korn, Beyonce, Michael Jackson, 2Pac.) alongside acclaimed producers/engineers; an indie album with top notch effort.

Under the direction of BMI writers, Samantha Cox and Brandon Haus, and vocal advice and instruction from coaches Cari Cole (Courtney Love, Journey…) , Don Lawrence (Mick Jagger, Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga…), and music director Marvin Floyd (Ashanti); Eve has been relentless in her progression as an artist, "I won’t stop…I love it…".

"Im a Freak, for the underground…" Minor says, talking about her eclectic musical influences; growing up with a strong love for Slipknot and Choking Victim. Her musical taste was reshaped along the way, with influential house artists, Benni Benassi and DeadMau5 , "I like him (deadMau5) because I can relate, he’s an amazing producer and performer; that’s what I strive for in my work , pushing bounds…plus he‘s got that head…"

Taking DeadMau5 as a source of inspiration , energy and fun with a raw-punkist attitude, Eve Minor is sure to "Please".

She goes on to describe some framework for her pieces, with a shy giggle, "They’re actually more than just party songs… some of them are meant as presents…I guess that‘s my romantic side…", she turned away and blushed.

Believing in yourself, letting love and having a good time, "it’s about living for Now, dwelling on the past is boring and the future isn’t told…"

That’s what Ex Rated is all about and what Eve Minor stands for as an artist. Being who you are and living for the moment! F*ck yeah!
