On February 14, 2015 Eugene Marlow’s MEII Enterprises indie label released the fifth digital only, mini-album from the “In Their Own Voice” series. This album features the talent of vocalist Jenn Jade singing “Sin Mi” (Without Mi) based on a bolero style composition by Eugene Marlow and lyrics by Rachel Cordeiro. Eugene Marlow's Heritage Ensemble is featured. “Sin Mi”— music by Eugene Marlow, lyrics by Rachel Cordeiro, vocalist Jenn Jade Ledesna—is a lament in a bolero/ballad mode from a woman’s perspective on the breakup of a relationship. Sin Mi/Spanish lyrics En este momento no soy nadie Sin tus labios y tu amor Tu presencia y tu olor Estoy esperando que sin mi Tu veas que asi Tu sientes la soledad Y necesitas a regresar Bridge to end: Antes que las memorias Se desvuelvan en nuestras manos Quiero aguantarte con ellas de Nuevo Without Me/English lyrics In this moment I am nobody Without your lips and your love Your presence and your scent I am waiting that without me You will see, like that- You feel lonely And you need to return Bridge: Before the memories Dissolve in our hands I want to hold you in them once more The first album in the series—released in mid-July 2014--featured French lyricist/songstress Amelie Cherubin on three tracks with original music by composer/producer Eugene Marlow. The second mini-album featured songstress/lyricist Anne Mironchik (“A Perfect Storm”). Marlow’s Heritage Ensemble is featured on both these albums. The third mini-album also featured Shira Lissek singing "Go Like the Wind" with lyrics by Ellen Woloshin. The fourth track in the series was “For the Children” with lyrics by Janet Lawson. This song inspires adults and parents to support children in their quest to be true to themselves.
