OK, some of you may know that TheWife is an actor. She's also a singer and a brilliant one at that. Not too long ago she was cast as the lead character in a concept album for a musical called Lilith. Lilith tells the story of Adam's first wife--yeah, "Adam" as in "Adam & Eve." Never knew that Adam had a first wife? Well, he did and the bitch wouldn't put up with his crap so she left him and hooked up with a bunch of demons and had their demon kids.
Of course, in the Bible it plays her like she was evil because she wouldn't be submissive--the irony is that if only Adam had let her be equal, maybe Lilith wouldn't have created humanity's enemies. Then again, it sure seems like all of the major enemies of America in the last 100 years were created by America in the first place, so really, the theme fits, but I digress.
The point is, the concept album is being released in the next month or so and you can listen to a couple of tracks from it by going to the [http://www.myspace.com/thomaskugler|composer's page] at myspace.com. The first track that will play when you get there is the overture for Lilith. To hear TheWife's song, click on "I Lilith."
The musical is a rock opera and is very reminiscent of Jesus Christ Superstar. It also reminds me a bit of the music from Phantom of the Paradise. So, [http://www.myspace.com/thomaskugler|go check it out!]
And thanks!
There's also going to be a concert performance of the musical soon and I'll be sure to post on that once I know when that will be.
So when and where can we purchase the CD?
ReplyDeleteEvery time I hear Sierra sing, I'm blown away. Good stuff!
ReplyDeleteI think it's some time soon--I'll post again about it, don't worry! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment Jen--I actually don't think that track is mixed so well--the music alone sounds really good but her voice is a little soft. Too much bass maybe? Not sure. I'm guessing the final CD will sound a little better.
