    Pop AC

The Rolling Stones’ songs, “Heaven” and “Miss You”, inspired the concept of my new album, “Habit”. I needed to create something that was lusciously gritty yet ambient. I made it with what I call, lo-fi elements (70’s recording nostalgia) because my ears were saturated and overstimulated with the cloned and brittle sounds of the current pop culture environment. I wanted my voice to sound like me, not the software that it was recorded on.

“Habit” is a collection of songs with a penetrating pulse that defines my human condition of late. The album’s 13 songs are a setlist that reflects the myriad of contrasting events and emotions I had during the creation of “Habit”.  Everyone has a habit or two, be it positive or negative. A habit can be the ultimate distraction, what slowly kills you, or what sets you free so, choose your habits wisely. I hope you start with mine. Margo Rey

Never 2 Late feat. John Oates

  • Artist

    Margo Rey + John Oates

  • Released

    March 31, 2015

  • Genre

    Adult Contemporary Pop

Never 2 Late is an upbeat AC pop song that displays Margo’s signature melodic flair and vocals. Following her last releases, “Colours” and “Tempted,” Margo is not stopping anytime soon to write inspiring songs for her fans and collaborated once again with Rock n Roll Hall of Fame songwriter, John Oates on this latest release. The song is one of several that the duo has penned together but, the first song that she and John crafted the music and lyrics simultaneously. “It was a joyful experience and I’m blessed to call him my friend and songwriting partner. John also honors this recording with his gorgeous Hall and Oates harmonies. It’s a message that kindness makes everything better because it is human nature to desire kindness and the need to be understood.” said Margo in a 2015 interview with Indie Music Digest.

Margo’s alternative pop songs have captured a worldwide audience with her unforgettable melodies, groove-oriented arrangements and enduring, socially conscious lyrics that always blend a variety of organic sounds with every bit of emotion. The Indie Music Digest says, “Her musical/vocal style is cut from the cloth of Celine Dion, Bonnie Raitt and Shania Twain.”
