This is to me a stronger track than the first one I heard. The recording quality seems a bit sharper. The guitar work has some very good little touches. vocal delivery has more confidence. Yep liked this number well done

To my hearing this is suitably restrained EMO, sort of Dashboard Confessional, lovely chord setting for the voice in a straight forward clear recording. Yeah sincerely relaxing and uplifting. ftlpope

The first (title) track, “The Strength of Will” is ultra emo and poignant. Other highlights are the love power track “Spirit in the Well” and the intensely mellow “Sharp and Thrilled.” All in all a nice collection of lightness and pensive music." A&R Select quotes</p><p>Endear Romance</p> <p> </p> <p>San Carlos, Ca. - At the age of 15, AJ was handed a guitar by his mother as a trade-off for a haircut his mother did for a friend. As he began to play, the passion grew inside him. He taught himself how to play without any professional training. What began to grow in him was the desire to create rich, dynamic and thought provoking music. </p> <p> </p> <p>AJ uses acoustic sound whenever possible. This version gives you authenticity, raw emotion and a genuine view of who AJ is. Two years after writing “Drop the Anchor” in October, 2008, he began seriously focusing on writing and recording full time. His mission was <em>“to create an outlet and understanding for people who hurt, are alone, or have lost someone before”</em>.</p> <p> </p> <p>His lead single, “The Strength of Will”, is off of his new CD with the same name. His vocals are emotional. His lyrics are very powerful and one can’t help but to identify with a song like this whether you’ve lost someone or not. </p> <p> </p> <p>Other singles in this CD which are highlighted are “Spirit in the Well” and “Abandon Ship”. “Spirit in the Well” is about a love gone and the confirmation of who he truly is. “Abandon Ship” is an introspective piece, beautifully played on acoustic guitar. </p> <p> </p> <p>Endear Romance’s music is a personal mission to empowerment even if you don’t believe it’s in you. AJ portrays this through a talent in both writing and recording. </p> <p> </p> <p>Past and Present Releases:</p> <p> </p> <p>“Drop the Anchor” (2008)</p> <p>“To Cure & To Savor” (2009)</p> <p>“Alittle Action” (2009)</p> <p>“The Strength of Will” (2009/10)</p> <p>“Downtown to the City” (2010)</p> <p> </p> <p>Endear Romance’s music is available digitally and physically and can be listened to and/or purchased by logging onto most iStore along with the following websites:</p> <p><a href="http://www.myspace.com/endearromance">www.myspace.com/endearromance</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.myspace.com/_ajwesolek">www.myspace.com/_ajwesolek</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.promofm.com/">www.promofm.com</a> (search: Endear Romance)</p> <p> </p> <p>Endear Romance is currently working with A & R Select for publishing, licensing and/or placement opportunities. </p> <p>If you are looking for additional information please contact his PR firm:</p> <p>A & R Select</p> <p>West Hollywood, Ca.</p> <p>323-924-5897</p> <p>www.arselect.com</p> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 260px;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><img src="http://img01.fanbridge.com/images/widget/small/jointhemailingist260_black.png" alt="" width="260" height="30" /></td></tr> <tr><td><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="260" height="32" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="align" value="middle"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"></param><param name="quality" value="high"></param><param name="bgcolor" value="#333333"></param><param name="flashvars" value="wid=small-4bb51aed42c9a-sbz&list_id=136859"></param><param name="src" value="http://widget.fanbridge.com/widgetz_small_black.swf"></param><param name="name" value="WidgetMailBlack"></param><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="260" height="32" src="http://widget.fanbridge.com/widgetz_small_black.swf" name="WidgetMailBlack" flashvars="wid=small-4bb51aed42c9a-sbz&list_id=136859" bgcolor="#333333" quality="high" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" align="middle"> </embed></object></td></tr> <tr><td><a href="http://www.fanbridge.com/b.php?id=136859&loc=learn/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img01.fanbridge.com/images/widget/small/poweredbyFB_260_black.png" border="0" alt="" width="260" height="15" /></a></td></tr></table>
