Happy New Year!!!
A
very special thanks
to all of my fans
and supporters for
your continued support.
Especially
to my new European
and Japan
fan base abroad.
You have shown unbelievable
support for my new
Just Doing Me CD.
I have read
all of your
email's and requests
for a European Tour
and we're certainly
working on it for
2010.
Because
of you, this independently
released cd
is proving
to have staying
power with consistent
and increased digital
downloads and online
CD Sales. The inspirational
track 1 titled,
I've Got A
Feeling
and the soulful,
track 3 titled,
Anything (in
the world)
have received very
promising amounts
of downloads. This
2009 release is
crossing over into
2010 with endless
possilities. A very
special thank you
to Di-Lee, DJ Funk-O-Nots
and everyone who
have been very instrumental
in promoting my
music abroad.
In
a recent interview
I was asked "what
is the best part
about being a singer-songwriter
and recording artist"
I replied,
"drawing from
the inspiration
which inspires my
creations and realizing
how much my music
impacts others...not
to mention the endless
possibilities".
"Other
artists are always
looking for new
music to record".
"Movie
Producers features
music for
soundtracks.
Advertising and
Marketing Agencies
often incorporate
music with their
advertisements,
especially in TV
Commercials".
"Because
of this, there's
always the possibility
of my music being
picked up".
The
Washington Post's
favorable CD Review
wrote that
"Marilyn Ashford
Brown's music seems
almost tailored
made to suit her".
This Just
Doing Me CD
however, has music
that could easily
suit other industry
artists. For
Beyounce's
next CD, the
sassy, track 8 titled,
How Much
would be a great
fit for her sassy
voice and repertooire.
The soulful,
Track titled,
Anything (in the
world) makes
an easy fit for
Fantasia's upcoming
CD.
One
earlier inspirational
track from the 2007
Still Standing
CD titled, The
Jesus In Me
would make a
perfect fit
for Kirk Franklin's
contempoary style
and would have been
awesome for Whitney
Houston's comeback
cd. It's the
kind of song that
would have shined
on someone who has
faced so many trials
and tribulations.
Songs have been
re-recorded many
times by various
artists.. I believe
that Diane
Schurr would
be proud of my rendition
of her Louisiana
Sunday Afternoon
just as Earth, Wind
& Fire would
hopefully be proud
of my earlier rendition
of Can't Hide Love.
Yes, the possibilities
ARE endless especially
for 2010.
Without
your support I could
not do this... With
God, All Things
Are Possible.

No matter what folks may have you believe, there is actually no such
thing as an ‘overnight success.' For every comedian who gets
that career-defining film cameo, there are others who are just as
hilarious and camera-ready still struggling in the clubs. For every
performer who's debut release hits number one, there are peers who are
equally as talented, yet don't get their shine until that well-produced
or better-promoted sophomore set. Exemplifying this reality is singer
and songwriter Marilyn Ashford Brown, whose third CD, Just Doing Me!, finally packages her gifts in the crisp, contemporary wrapping that they deserve.

THE
WASHINGTON POST
SAYS "Marilyn
Ashford Brown isn't
the sort of R&B
vocalist who need
to rely on songwriters
for inspiration,
and her output almost
always seems tailor-made
to suit her talents
and capitalize
on her influences".
"In
the end, Ashford-Brown
covers a lot of
ground with personality
and assurance to
spare.
Mike Joyce The Washington Post. Read full review.
The
U.K. loves Marilyn
Ashford Brown's
new CD, and she
loves them. The
"Still Standing"
CD sales took
her music
to faraway places
never imagined.
Such places
like the U.K. ,
Germany , Tokyo
, The UKraine
and Canada . It
appears that
her new, "Just
Doing Me" CD
will surpass it".
Is a
European Tour in
the future?
"The
CD Buzz" has
is that Recording
Artist, Marilyn
Ashford Brown has
one of the hottest
New Independent
CD Releases
for 2009). She's
making her own way
in the Recording
Industry by going
at it independently
and it's finally
pay off. After
years of knocking
on the doors of
record executives,
she's giving them
something to stop
and take notice.
Will
Music Mogul, Clive
Davis finally give
her the much anticipated
major distribution
deal that she's
so long prayed for?
