Dear Monica Mania Readers,

I've recently created a new blog entitled Musicians' Galore where I celebrate my favorite songwriters and producers by compiling some of their biggest hits (and personal favorites of mine) in a single Mixtape. [It will be updated at the 1^st of each month].

Another new feature of the blog is entitled *Artist of the Week* where I'll be choosing a performer that deserves FULL recognition for his/her work. Head over there and check out which artist I've chosen for this week. [It will be updated every Sunday].

If you're an artist, songwriter or producer who'd like to be featured in Musicians' Galore, please don't hesitate to send me your material (released or unreleased) at supa_monica@yahoo.com

Hope you'll enjoy this blog as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Love always,

Hamada

Ciara Harris has delayed the release of her highly-anticipated conceptual album, "Fantasy Ride", from December 2008 till early 2009. The singer/songwriter reportedly booked additional recording sessions with Jim Jonsin (Beyonce Knowles, Christina Milian), Bloodshy & Avant: Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg (Jordin Sparks, Lindsay Lohan) and Scott Storch (Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera), so all we can do is wait for the outcome, which I'm sure is going to be worthwhile.

Be on the lookout for her duet with Enrique Iglesias, "Takin' Back My Love", taken from the Latin crooner's "Greatest Hits" compilation, due on 11^th November via Interscope Records. The track was co-written and produced by Nadir "Red One" Khayat (Toni Braxton, Brandy Norwood).
