Pop/Soul Songstress DEBRA ARLYN has undergone a musical and personal transformation. After 5 years of shining in the Northwest Indie scene thanks to her catchy love songs, the multi award winning songwriter went on hiatus, getting married and having a baby. Now, her 2012 new album “Hush”, recorded in Nashville, TN, showcases Arlyn’s newly found musical depth and earned motherly wisdom. The title track “Hush’ holds the title of “Song of the Year” in the international song contest of the same name. Add that to Arlyn’s 11 previous international song contest wins, and there is no denying Arlyn’s songwriting stands out.
Debra has also been famously hailed as ‘the girl with the incredible voice” and colleges, festivals, music venues and churches have been captivated by her outstanding, soaring live vocals. Her music has been featured in TV shows, movies and received rave reviews from magazines, newspapers, social media sites, and industry personnel. There is no doubt that this singer/songwriters latest effort will push her career to the next level, as one can’t help but be moved by the surprises in Debra’s story. To listen top to bottom to the record “Hush” is to experience Arlyn’s growth, profound talent, and return to the music scene with a fresh purpose. Debra Arlyn’s voice, words, melodies and music, deserve to be heard.
