"Stay Afloat" Embrace the Race's 3rd online release effortlessly turns over a new leaf.The genres of choice include: slow rock, ambient, chill-out, electro and Asian music. Stay Afloat includes easy -to-follow tracks like "Music to my Ears," "Bright Shiny Day," which are clean-cut and distinguished. There are also vibrant beats as in "Sky Falling." and "Rainy Season," which get the toes tapping. While peeling away layers from the individual tracks one realizes, there is a progression and dominant harmony to each melodic track. Each song though instrumental, communicates the beauty and essence of staying one's course amid peril. On the vast ocean, we remain the captains of our own destinies. This album is clearly my most accessible and creative release. Why not set sail today. . . http://embracetherace.bandcamp.com/album/stay-afloat-2013 A special thanks to all who have supported this project.
