hello my dearest friends! It has been 4 long years since the release of my last album. After something like 13 albums, I’ve been super conflicted about what type of music I’d like to put out there. As many of you know, I sing anything from pop to r&b, pop-rock and even broadway. Basically, the only thing I don’t do is rap. Yup, sorry, I can’t rap to save my life! So for my next album, I’d like for all you guys to decide what you would like to hear me sing for you. That’s right! All of you, my friends and fans who’ve been with me all these years know me best. You guys get to suggest your favorite songs or anything you think I might sing well. Just write me a reply to this message and include as many song suggestions as you like. even just one song will do or ten songs if you like! I will take note of all your suggestions and votes and by the end of 1 month, I will come up with the top 10 most requested songs. Barring any complications with acquiring the rights to a song, those top ten songs will be in my new album. Oh if you have any original compositions you would like to give me, you may e-mail a demo and lyrics to orphanim@aol.com. You never know, you may be the composer of my next hit! The title of the album will be “BY REQUEST”. This will be my new album dedicated to you! Please tell all your friends about this and have them vote, too. I will ask my celebrity friends to vote as well. It’s all in your hands, guys! Counting on you all to help create this new album and make it a hit! Can’t wait to hear from you! - RACHEL
