J.Poww’s Journey Goes International As He Inks A Deal With UK Record Label

Detroit, MI (I-Newswire) December 12, 2010 - J.Poww and Street Sounds/Universal have reached an agreement on a licensing deal that will allow the record label to feature “Amazing (#1 Baby)” and “Dolla Bill$” on the R&B Street Anthems vol.1. “Poww!...is the appropriate name as J. scores a knockout in two genres,” say Tre Carn, A&R Consultant at Street Sounds/Universal. The compilation album is set to be released Jan.24, 2011 in the U.K.

Street Sounds/Universal sought out J.Poww after seeing his single, “I’m Not In Love” from his current album, Journey of a Man, on the Soundclick R&B and Urban music charts. SoundClick is the #1 online music artist community. The song topped at #5 on the R&B Charts and #6 on the Urban Charts.

The two tracks chosen for the compilation were slated to be released on the Journey of a Man album but have since been pulled. Journey of a Man will be re-released Dec 23, 2010, with a new cover and bonus tracks to replace the tracks that were removed. “I am looking forward to taking my solo career international. There is a unique appreciation for music internationally, especially R&B. Street Sounds provides the perfect avenue for me to reach these potential fans and make a lasting impression,” says J.Poww.

Since 1982, Street Sounds/Universal has released over 80 compilation albums featuring legendary artists such as Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Luther Vandross and Teddy Pendergrass. “Amazing (#1 Baby)” will be the leading track on the latest compilation which will have approximately 30 songs from various artists.
