Oluali Records Release New Single Vibrations from Anicetuss and Michael Shynes

Minneapolis, MN, October 02, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Vibrations is the new single from artist and producer Anicetuss, managed by Oluali Records, with the North American artist Michael Shynes. This track shows the versatility of Anicetuss exploring new sounds and the investment of the label in different styles, has promised in its launch. This track was totally produced during pandemic times and it shows that the resilience of the artists is everything and that sometimes we need to be in a hard situation to recognize that it is possible to produce and collaborate through communication and platforms created for this purpose.

This way of working gives even more emphasis to the promises made by Oluali Records during its presentation and represents this release, an electronic journey with a message that is adequate to the current context and to the feelings we should share amongst each other.

The fact that Michael Shynes is a Midwest born singer songwriter with a Platinum Record in Poland, in many ways, sums up the unlikelihood of his career perfectly. Being a self taught musician from a small town, he seemed to build a career out of nothing more than pure hustle and soulful songwriting. And he was also a son who had lost his father, quit his day job, and chased an unlikely dream. And even though the music itself may be difficult to define (often oscillating from Folk to Pop to R&B to Country and then back again), the intent behind it is the unifying ingredient. The unmistakable truth that it never strives to be anything less than genuine and authentic.

After losing his father to an autoimmune disease when Shynes was 25, he decided to honor his Dad's legacy by chasing the ambitions he had been putting off. At that time he was working at a residential treatment center for teens, and playing the occasional show on the weekend. "It was important work, and shaped who I am today in a lot of ways. But the stark reality of realizing how quickly life can change, made me realize how I wanted to spend my time here."

This was also at a time when he was falling in love, adopting a daughter, and trying to build a home. “I think it benefited me in a lot of ways as there were no excuses. I had mouths to feed. What crippled me when music was a journey strictly for myself, was the idea the there had to be some deep meaning in everything. Once it was simply about providing for my family, that’s when I was able to see everything through the lens of simply building our lives together.”

Shynes would often get noticed as a strong local candidate to open up for National acts as they came through town, and even ended up on a tour with platinum recording artist Howie Day. "That was transformative as I was playing in theaters full of people who had no obligation to buy into what I was selling on stage. But I realized I could hold their attention with just the stories and the songs. That was a landmark experience."

Now Shynes has worked to become one of the most sought after performers in the Midwest. Recently selling out his first theater shows, and building a fully immersive live performance concept that includes up to a nine piece band paired with a video and light show. Blending shades of multiple genres over an acoustic and full band landscape, his songs are ripe with lyrical depth rarely paired with such mainstream appeal. The thing that seems to separate Shynes is unquestionably his vocal stylings. With a range and falsetto that is nothing short of captivating, his acoustic finger picking style acts as the perfect bed of warmth on which his soulful lyrics can rest.
