Ex-Terence Trent D'Arby på nettet 16.5.2001
- af Maria Ellen Bernhard
Sananda Maitreya, som indtil for 5 måneder siden hed Terence Trent D'Arby, har udgivet sit nye album uafhængigt på nettet. Sananda forklarer til Rollingstone.com, at når han udgiver albummet selv, slipper han for pladeselskabernes restriktioner.

Han sammenligner en pladeselskabsaftale med, at han bager en hel tærte, som han giver til én, som så vælger et stykke ud, der kan bruges. Sananda tilføjer, at den arbejdsdeling er en fornærmelse mod hans person.
Sanandas nye og hele "tærte" hedder 'The Wild Card' og er den første siden hans 'Vibrator' fra 1995.

Spørgsmål : "Terence Trent D'Arby / Sandana's nye album"

Nogen derude, som kan huske Terence Trent D'Arby?

Hvorom alting er, så har han taget navneforandring til Sandana og udgivet sit 5. album "The Wild Card" på sin hjemmeside som Mp3. (Grundet problemer med pladeselskabet. Hvor har jeg hørt om det før? ;-) )

Terence Trent D´Arby online under nyt navn

Terence Trent D´Arby har – gennem hele sin besynderlige karriere – været anmeldernes darling. Med sit første album, det bragende succesfulde Introducing The Hardline According To, fra 1987, blev han da også straks pladekøbernes darling – blandt andet med hits som Wishing Well, Sign Your Name og If You Let Me Stay. De efterfølgende albums gjorde sig imidlertid bedst bemærket hos anmelderne, det store publikum gad ikke hans eksperimenteren med 50er-R&B, soul, rock og pop – og det var nok lidt ufortjent.

Nu er D´Arby imidlertid tilbage igen, med et nyt album og – syret nok – et helt nyt navn. Albummet hedder The Wild Card, og D´Arby bærer nu det lidt flippede guru-navn, Sananda Maitreya. Organisationen Share International forklarer, at myten bag navnet Maitreya er, at ”han er en lærer, som en dag vil vende tilbage til verden, og hjælpe os med at løse vore problemer”. D´Arby har kaldt sig Sananda Maitreya siden 1998, og dengang forklarede han navnet således: ”Terence Trent D´Arby er blot et fartøj, hvorigennem Sananda lader sit lys skinne”, han fortalte senere – samme år – at ”Han var en holografisk udgave i den tredje dimension, af den kunstner hans fans ønskede sig han skulle være”. Gider nogen lige forklare dén? Please?

Wild Card er – helt i tråd med D´Arbys nyfundne åndelighed – allerede lagt ud til GRATIS download via sangerens tyske Internet-site, førend det (senere) vil være at finde i butikkerne, i en mere verdslig og fysisk form. Albummet kan downloades gratis, hér: http://www.pentacles.net/sananda/ - prøv det, han synger faktisk stadigvæk skidegodt!

Terence Trent D'Arby keert terug

UTRECHT 05/04/01 - Terence Trent D'Arby? Tsja... wie was dat ook alweer? In de jaren '80 was hij de grote belofte die Michael Jackson en Prince moest doen vergeten. Na zijn briljante debuutalbum Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'Arby, met daarop de hits Wishing Well, Sign Your Name en Dance Little Sister, viel hij in een artistiek gat waar hij onlangs pas weer is uitgekropen.

Eind verleden jaar trad hij op met INXS als vervanger van Michael Hutchence en nu is hij terug met een nieuw album. Hij heeft alleen geen platenmaatschappij, dus geeft hij de muziek gratis weg op internet. Fans kunnen zoeken naar een password op de site www.pentacles.net/sananda en vervolgens vanaf 8 april de 16 tracks op diezelfde site met behulp van dat password downloaden. (WOL/iMediate)

Terence Trent D'Arby financiert zelf nieuwe cd

Terence Trent D'Arby, wie kent hem nog, komt na jaren met een nieuw album. De artiest heeft zijn nieuwe cd 'The Wild Card' zelf gefinancierd en brengt het album uit op internet. Of Terence geld te veel heeft, of dat hij doodgewoon geen geldschieters kon vinden voor zijn project, is niet bekend. Een ding is wel duidelijk: Terence Trent D'Arby smacht naar een comeback.

De zanger was vooral in de jaren tachtig erg succesvol met nummers als 'Wishing Well' en de ballad 'Sign Your Name'. In 1995 bracht hij nog het album 'Vibrator' uit, maar sindsdien was het stil rond de zanger. We zagen hem voor het laatst optreden bij de opening van het Olympisch Stadion in Sydney. Hij zong toen met de band INXS, kort na de dood van zanger Michael Hutchence.

D'Arby/Sananda wil door zijn muziek online aan te bieden minder onafhankelijk zijn van de platenfirma's en zijn werk eerder aan de fans geven. Naast de gratis MP3's herbergt zijn website ook spirituele poezie door de man en zijn fans. (jvr)

Terence Trent D'Arby issues album online

Terence Trent D'Arby has released a new, self-financed album on the internet.

The Wild Card is the singer's first new material since he released Violator in 1995.

D'Arby fronted INXS at a one-off concert to open the Olympic Stadium in Sydney, Australia, shortly after the death of Michael Hutchence.

The album is currently only available to download through www.pentacles.net.

ProSieben Online is the website for the German TV channel ProSieben. (Pro Seven is the rough translation of the name...)

Currently they are hosting a downloads page for the artist formerly known as ... Terence Trent D'Arby who now goes by the title The Sananda Maitreya.

Having been unable to secure a recording contract, he has decided to release his latest music for free across the internet. Therefore, if you were a fan or if you think you might be a fan, simply visit the linked page and click on the track names to download. Presumably, if enough people do this, ex-Terence will be able to demonstrate the level of interest in his music to those in a position to offer future recording contracts... thus this is free music that does good when you download it ..!!

Wild Card

TTDpromotion.com

What's a musician to do when he can't secure a record deal but still wants his music to be heard? If you're Terence Trent D'arby, you create a Web site and allow fans to download every song from your new album for free.

To promote his unreleased album, Wild Card, D'arby has made the 16 tracks available for computer savvy. This is an approach to file-sharing that even Napster opponents will enjoy. Plus, these tracks take up a hell of lot less time to download than a Napster file.

D'arby's site, www.pentacles.net/sananda, serves as both a place to download the sound files as well as way to find out whatever happened to TTD (as fans like call him). D'arby had two smash hits ("Wishing Well" and "Sign Your Name") off his 1987 album, The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'arby, that led to a devoted cult following, but little mainstream success.

Well, a lot has happened to D'arby in the past decade. Taking a cue from Prince (who he has been widely compared to), D'arby changed his name in 1998 to Sananda Matreiyeu after it came to him in a dream. He was due to release Wild Card in early 1999, but deals with Sony Records and Java Records both fell through.

That left the artist formerly known as D'arby with one option: release the album independently rather than continue to shop for record deals. And even though all of the songs are over three years old, Wild Card is a fairly entertaining collection of Hendrix-meets-Babyface grooves. As fans have always known, D'arby is a great songwriter and producer, and some of these songs rate among his best work.

"SRR 636" finds D'arby at his most raucous, laying down seductive lyrics over a bump-n-grind guitar and drum-machine mix. The mix of slightly raunchy lyrics and dance floor ready beats make this song a winner.

There are plenty of the classic TTD ballads, as well. "Love, Can You Hear Me?" and "Everything" aren't exactly in the same league as "Sign Your Name," but D'arby's smooth vocals make the material rise above mediocre.

This file-sharing approach will not revive mainstream interest in D'arby's music, especially since most of the young music-buying public were wearing Underoos when D'arby was at his peak. Nonetheless, Wild Card contains some great music, and you certainly don't see the Backstreet Boys offering free tunes.

D'Arby Reinvents Himself

Label blues send the former Terence Trend D'Arby to the Web

The artist formerly known as Terence Trent D'Arby (who five months ago officially changed his name to Sananda Maitreya) has released his new album independently on the Web. The appropriately titled The Wild Card, his fifth album, is available through www.pentacles.net and will be released through retail outlets in July. The album is Maitreya/D'Arby's first recording since 1995's TTD's Vibrator.
Maitreya says that the album was created over a nine-month period when he also recorded an additional thirteen songs that he would make available at a later date. "It just hit me that I didn't have to sacrifice this record, but I could just let people have it because what was most important for me was that people hear the songs," Maitreya says. "There's such a tremendous degree of constriction that happens in labels, especially when you consider that most of the men that are running these institutions no longer have a love or feel for music, but only an understanding of what they presume the bottom line to be."

"The idea that I bake a pie, I then am contractually obligated to give the whole entire pie over to someone who then deigns to cut me a tiny slice and give it back. That's just an insult to my character."

Maitreya is currently at work with marketing companies to design alternate avenues for releasing new and different artists and styles of music to the public. "I'm very grateful that I was able to be squeezed by the pain into a greater realization," he says. "And with that in mind, we can just open up and be free to give the people what they deserve and not always the same reconstructed, regurgitated piece of music over and over again."

Trent D'Arby goes online

Sananda Maitreya, the singer formerly known as Terence Trent D'Arby, has released his first album in six years on the internet.
The Wild Card is his fifth album, made available through a German website prior to an eventual release in shops.

I am a holographic representation in the third dimension of what was requested by your souls that one of your favourite artists be.

Sananda Maitreya
The album is the singer's first since Vibrator in 1995. A long-mooted album, The Solar Return of Terence Trent D'Arby, was never released.

Between May and July 1998, D'Arby wrote to fans on the Java Records web site messageboard to inform them that he was changing his name to Sananda.

Vehicle

On 7 May 1998 he wrote: "Terence Trent D'Arby is the vehicle through which Sananda will let his light shine. I don't know what Sananda means and I have not allowed myself to find out."

On 21 August 1998 he went on to write: "I am a holographic representation in the third dimension of what was requested by your souls that one of your favourite artists be."

"I sent a portion of my soul to embody as an artist called TTD in order to favor [sic] that request."

He then later amended his name to Sananda Maitreya, and officially changed his name five months ago.

The Maitreya myth is of a world teacher who will one day return to this world to help us solve critical global problems, according to Share International.

In an interview with Rolling Stone Online, D'Arby said the album was recorded over a nine-month period during which he also recorded an additional 13 songs that he would make available at a later date.

Controversy

He is no stranger to controversy. When he debuted on the music scene in 1987, he claimed his first album Introducing the Hardline was better than the Beatles' Sergeant Pepper.

The tactic worked, however.

The album hit number one in the UK and spent more than half a year in the top half of the UK chart. It remains to be seen whether his latest marketing tactics will have a positive effect on sales of The Wild Card.

He is certainly not the first musician to release an entire album online. The Stereo MCs are previewing tracks from their album online right up until the album's release on 28 May.

There is no official date for the release of the album in shops, but it will be released in German-speaking territories prior to the rest of the world.

Just Don't Call Him the Artist Formerly Known as Terence Trent D'Arby:

I'm sure zillions of people have wondered where in the wide world the multitalented TTD has been the last few years. I happen to know, because we're old friends (and we've had some alarmingly divine conversations through the years). With his all too common tale of record-company woe finally over, he has changed his name for spiritual reasons to Sananda Maitreya and is now offering his latest album, The Wild Card, online at pentacles.net--for free!

An incredibly gifted, hysterically amusing and profoundly deep artist, Maitreya recorded the album several years ago, but it was held up by his label because it was thought too eccentric and eclectic, thus the title The Wild Card.

That's putting it mildly. Originally called The Soular Return of Terence Trent D'Arby, this exquisite hunk of music can also be found (for now) on Napster and will be released officially in July.

name game
the artist formerly known as ttd is now changing to an even sillier moniker

Remember Terence Trent D'Arby, the spindly, athletic, bendy guy who implored you to "sign your name across his heart"? Well, he's no longer the man he used to be.

In a move reminiscent of the artist formerly known as Symbol and known once more again as Prince, and Cat Stevens, who became a Muslim, renounced music and changed his name to Yusuf Islam, dear old Terence has decided to be reborn again as Sananda Maitreya.

What exact this name means, he's not divulging: "Terence Trent D'Arby is the vehicle through which Sananda will let his light shine," he wrote on a fan website, "I don't know what Sananda means and I have not allowed myself to find out. I accepted it on faith, but I know it's positive and I know it's good."

Born again guru
Yeah, like, that's really cosmic, Sananda, man! Now, Sananda/D'Arby has followed the only route open to a new age, born-again guru: he's released his latest album on the internet. The follow-up to 1995's moderately successful Vibrator, the new work is called The Wild Card and is available for download at the German magazine ProSieben Online.

And despite the obvious hideousness of Sananda's poetry (which you can find at the Sananda fan site), Wild Card really is quite good value for the price of free. A track called Shadows recalls vintage D'Arby and My Dark Places is smooth and funky, while The Inner Scream has a certain trip-hoppiness that goes well with Sananda's creamy voice, and builds to an impressive crescendo.

Another called srr 636 is a rollicking, rockin' powerhouse. And the catchy Everythang has as much hit potential as 'Sign your name...' By whatever name, there can be little doubt: this little bendy guy can sing.

However, Sananda should recall that abrupt identity changes have never helped the careers of any pop stars to date: TAFKAP sank into indulgence while Yusuf Islam disappeared altogether. And internet releases haven't helped the likes of Public Enemy and The Smashing Pumpkins. Let's hope that TAFKATTD does just a little better.

'FORMERLY KNOWN AS' THE NEW TREND
Words: Eurweb

Terence Trent D'Arby changes his name, readies new album.

*The work of a music journalist is never done. Yet another artist has switched up their name for what seems to be a plan to keep us in a state of confusion. In the footsteps of Prince, and Puff, Terence Trent D'Arby is now known as Sananda Maitreya, just in time for the release of his first album in six years.

Maitreya's CD, "The Wild Card," will first debut on the Internet and is expected to be released in stores late this year, but no official release date has been set. D'Arby's last set was "Vibrator," in 1995. Since then, the singer has been on an evolutionary journey that has brought him to the name change. According to the BBD, in '98 he wrote to fans via his website, "I am a holographic representation in the third dimension of what was requested by your souls that one of your favorite artists be. I sent a portion of my soul to embody as an artist called TTD in order to favor that request." Umm, ok.

D'Arby changed his name to Sananda Maitreya five months ago--and is releasing his first album in six years on the Internet, dubbed "Wild Card." As for INXS, they're still trudging along with their "Just For Kicks Tour" featuring guest vocalist Jon Stevens--but still have made no commitment whether or not they'll try to put Humptey Dumptey back together again for good. "While the ongoing future of INXS remains under review, the band are keen to get back on stage and play - it's that simple," says their official website...

TTDA : appelez-moi Sananda Maitreya !
Vedette à la fin des années 1980, le chanteur Terence Trent D'Arby cherche à nouveau le succès. Il s'y prend de curieuse manière !


Mais il me dit quelque chose celui-là !
Ce soir en regardant "Amour et rock'n'roll" (20h50 sur M6) vous pourrez tomber sur Terence Trent D'Arby, le chanteur qui eut un immense succès à la fin des années 80 avec son tube "Wishing Well". C'est à ce jour l'unique intrusion notable du new-yorkais dans l'univers de la fiction.
L'homme aux fameuses dreadlocks préfère la musique même si celle-ci ne lui porte plus chance. L'ancien soldat de l'US Army cherche toujours à rattraper son succès.
Depuis le début des années 1990, sa carrière stagne. Et pour cause. Son cinquième album "The Wild Card" est disponible uniquement sur internet (www.pentacles.net) avant sa mise en vente dans les bacs en juillet prochain. Terence a de surcroît changé de nom en début d'année. Il s'appelle désormais Sananda Maitreya. Avec son nouveau look (cheveux courts teintés en blond), l'artiste fait tout pour brouiller les pistes !

Sananda Maitreya: Terence Trent D'Arby verschenkt sein Album - 22.05.2001

Sananda Maitreya noch einmal als Terence Trent D'Arby

Pop
Terence Trent D'Arby verschenkt sein Album

22.05.2001 - Sein 87er Meisterwerk "Introducing the Hardline" führte über ein halbes Jahr die Charts an und praktisch jeder Song wurde zum Hit. Seit über sechs Jahren war es still um den Musiker, doch nun veröffentlicht er sein neustes Album Online.

Eine neue Intendität und eine gereifte Persönlichkeit. Terence Trent D'Arby will neue Wege gehen und schliesst seine Vergangenheit mit einem letzten Album ab.

Der Name war nur noch ein fremdbestimmtes Bild
Vor drei Jahren gab Terence Trent D'Arby seine Namensänderung in einem Brief auf Javarecords bekannt. Seit einigen Monaten ist die Änderung offiziell ausformuliet, der Musiker heisst Sananda Maittreya. In seinem Brief macht er klar, was ihn dazu bewegte und in Interviews bestätigt er die Aussage: Terence Trent D'Arby passte nicht mehr zu ihm, der Name war nur noch wie Bild, das sich andere von ihm machten. Er sagt von sich, dass sein früherer Name nur für einen Abschnitt seines Lebens gedacht war und sein wirklicher Name, der ihm durch Träume offenbart wurde, seit jeher Sananda war.

Das vollständige Album als Geschenk
Sechs Jahre sind vergangen seit seinem letzten Album "Vibrator", jetzt veröffentlicht der Anti-Star sein fünftes Album "The Wild Card" auf dem Internet. Seine Motivation dazu war vor allem seine Stücke loslassen zu können und das Album ist natürlich auch als ein Geschenk gedacht, an die Fans, die ihm all die Jahre die Treue hielten. Alle 16 Tracks können im MP3 Format auf der Pro 7 Seite heruntergeladen werden. Dieses Album wird übrigens seine letzte Veröffentlichung unter dem Namen Terence Trent D'Arby sein und soll zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt auch im Handel erscheinen.

Egal was kommen wird
Neuer Name, neue Pläne. " The Solar Return of Sananda" wird sein nächstes Album heissen. Der Musiker verrät noch nicht in wie fern sich die Musik verändern wird, vielmehr ist es ihm selbst noch nicht klar, er lässt sich auf alles ein. Er möchte einfach seinen Intuitionen folgen, egal wie auch immer sich das anhören wird, denn die Vermarktung ist schliesslich nicht seine Sache, meint er nur dazu. Sananda ist auch der Meinung, seine Stimme habe sich wesentlich verändert. Am besten hört man rein, in die neuen Stücke und feine Unterschiede werden einen nicht entgehen.

Das Album zum Downloaden

Ein ganzes Album geschenkt!
(Martin) Kennt Ihr noch Terence Trent D'Arby? Mit Hits wie "Sign Your Name" oder "Dance Little Sister" konnte er mehrmals die Spitze der Charts erklimmen.

Jetzt ist alles neu. Zum einen: Der Name. Terence heißt nicht mehr Terence sondern Sananda. Und Trent D'Arby heißt nicht mehr Trent D'Arby sondern trägt den klangvollen Namen Maitreya. Also insgesamt Sananda Maitreya. Glückwunsch. Jegliche Verwandtschaft mit den Namensspielchen von Prince oder TAFKAP oder Ähnlichkeiten mit anderen lebenden Personen sind wohl ungewollt.

Neu ist dann allerdings auch sein Album. Zwar scheint Sananda (wir duzen ihn einfach mal) nicht die passende Plattenfirma gefunden zu haben, aber das soll uns nicht weiter stören. Das Album mit dem Titel "The Wild Card" gibt's nämlich völlig kostenlos, aber nicht umsonst komplett im Netz. Wenn Ihr dem Link unten folgt, kann der Download-Spass beginnen. Toll, was?

Terence Trent D'Arby: Neuer Name und Songs im Netz
Sananda Maitreya, bis vor kurzem unter dem Namen Terence Trent D'Arby bekannt, stellt sein Album "The Wild Card" als Download im Internet zur Verfügung. Als Grund gab er dem amerikanischen "Rolling Stone" an, dass "die Plattenfirmen zu viele Einschränkungen auferlegen" und dass es ihm einfach am wichtigsten ist, dass "die Leute meine Musik hören".

Wer ist Sananda Maitreya
Der neueste Trend bei Musikern: Den altbekannten Namen ablegen. Puff Daddy hat's getan, um uns vor zu machen, dass er als P. Diddy ein ganz Lieber geworden ist. Vermutlich glaubt das auch Terence Trent D'Arby, der sich inzwischen Sananda Maitreya nennt. Seine Theorie: "In ein paar Jahren ist es völlig normal, dass man seinen Namen wie Kleidung abstreifen wird." Ganz gewollt kommt der Namenswechsel aber wohl trotzdem nicht. Im Interview sagt Maitreya, dass er nur dadurch sein "Integrität und Vision schützen" kann.

Terence Trent D'Arby: Neues Album im Netz

Mit Welthits wie "Sign Your Name" und "Whishing Well" ist Terence Trent D'Arby in den Achtzigerjahren bekannt geworden. Unter seinem neuen Künstlernamen Sananda Maitreya veröffentlicht der New Yorker Musiker am 8. April sein neues Album im Internet. Wer sich jedoch bereits jetzt einen Eindruck von Maitreyas Songs machen will, kann sich das Stück "Shadows" kostenlos downloaden . Der Track ist ganz im typischen R'n'B-Pop-Stil der alten D'Arby-Nummern gehalten. Wie callasong.de aus gut unterrichteten Insider-Kreisen erfuhr, arbeitet Sananda auch schon an einem anderen Album, denn die Songs, die sich im Internet finden, werden nicht auf CD erhältlich sein.

Terence Trent D`Arby aka Sananda Maitreya

"Shadow"

aus dem Album "The Wild Card"

Terence Trent D’Arby ist von uns gegangen und wurde als Sananda Maitreya wiedergeboren. Spirituell und textlich mag Terence sich neu erschaffen haben, musikalisch allerdings klingt er wie zu Beginn seiner Karriere.

Aber damals war er Terence, heute ist er Senior Maitreya. Einer alten buddhistischen Legende zufolge kehrt Maitreya, ein mächtiger Philosoph, auf die Erde zurück und befreit die Menschheit von allen belastenden Problemen. Nun stellte Terence Trent D’Arby in den vergangenen Jahren nicht wirklich ein Problem dar, denn er wurde ja kaum beachtet. Aber um einer möglichen Beseitigung zu entgehen, taufte er sich kurzerhand selbt Maitreya. Des Wohlklangs wegen nahm er den Vornamen Sananda mit dazu an, laut einem Interview ohne einen Schimmer zu haben, was er bedeutet. Wir wissen es: Dahinter verbirgt sich niemand anderes als Jesus...Terrys erste große Tat als singender Prophet war es, die Menschen davor zu bewahren, unnötige Ausgaben für sein neues Album „Wild Card“ zu tätigen. Er bot das Album über die Homepage eines deutschen Fernsehsenders feil. Das ist eine noble Geste und darum kann man ihn auch nicht all zu sehr tadeln. Denn der göttliche Funken, der ihn einst zu Klassikern wie „If you let me stay" oder „Sign Your Name“ bewogen hat, findet sich jetzt ausschließlich in seinem Namen wieder. Immerhin nähert sich Tafkat (The Artist formerly known as Terence) musikalisch jenen Frühtagen. Warum lohnt sich dann überhaupt ein Download? Vielleicht um festzustellen, das Musik nicht dadurch besser wird, das man sich die Nase operiert, die Brüste vergrößern lässt oder eben den Namen ändert. (os)

Ritorna Terence Trent D'Arby, per ora solo sul Web

Ritorna Terence Trent D’Arby con un album distribuito sul Web. L’artista che cinque mesi fa ha ufficialmente cambiato il suo nome in Sananda Maitreya, ha reso disponibile il suo quinto LP “The wild card” sul Web all’indirizzo www.pentacles.net ed entro luglio lo farà uscire nei negozi. Il disco segna il ritorno di Maitreya/D’Arby dopo “Vibrator” del 1995. L’artista, intervistato da Rollingstone, ha spiegato che i brani sono stati registrati in un arco di tempo di 9 mesi, nel quale sono state completate altre 13 canzoni che saranno pubblicate successivamente.
Nel corso dell’intervista, Maitreya non ha avuto parole troppo tenere con il music-biz: “C’è una grande costrizione all’interno della case discografiche, specialmente se si considera che la maggior parte delle persone che vi lavora, non ha un grande amore per la musica, ma semplicemente una conoscenza di cosa può funzionare”.
L’artista ora è al lavoro con delle società di marketing per creare nuovi percorsi musicali e scoprire nuovi talenti da offrire al pubblico: “Sono davvero contento di lavorare in un contesto che mi offre la possibilità di dare al pubblico quello che cerca e non gli stessi pezzi ascoltati e riascoltati tante volte” ha commentato il cantante.

Sul sito web l’artista ha anche lasciato un messaggio ai suoi fan, annunciando di essere “rinato”, sia artisticamente che umanamente.

Terence Trent D'Arby: album gratis sul Web
Terence Trent D'Arby alias Sananda Maitreya, come ha ufficialmente annunciato di volersi fare chiamare cinque mesi fa, ha deciso di rendere disponibile gratuitamente il suo nuovo album sul Web. Il titolo dell’album è "The Wild Card", il quinto dell’artista americano da "Vibrator" del 1995, è disponibile gratis sul sito www.pentacles.net mentre sarà negli scaffali dei negozi solo a luglio.

In un’intervista a Rollingstone, Maitreya ha giustificato la sua decisione sostenendo di aver composto l’album in nove mesi, in un periodo in cui stava registrando altre tredici canzoni che aveva pensato di rendere disponibili successivamente:"Ho pensato di non dover sacrificare questo disco e che potevo permettere che i fan lo avessero perché per me la cosa più importante è che la gente ascolti le canzoni".

"C’è un alto grado di costrizione nell’industria discografica - ha proseguito l'artista soul - specie se si pensa che la maggior parte delle persone a capo di queste compagnie non nutrono più alcun amore per la musica, ma badano solo ai supposti risultati in termini commerciali". Una forma di protesta nei confronti dello strapotere delle major che sembra accomunarlo a molti artisti indipendenti:"L’idea che io sia l’autore di un’opera, e che poi sia contrattualmente obbligato a consegnarla a qualcuno che si degna di rendermene una minuscola fetta, beh è un insulto al mio carattere".

La decisione di quello che un tempo era conosciuto come Terence Trent D’Arby, una delle più belle voci della black music degli ultimi vent’anni, cade in un periodo di crisi del free downloading, un declino iniziato con la parabola discendente di Napster a seguito della causa multimiliardaria intentata dalle major per violazione del copyright. L’artista è attualmente impegnato in collaborazione con delle società di marketing nel progetto di per trovare canali di distribuzione e di promozione alternativi a quelli ufficiali, monopolizzati dalla grande industria musicale. "Sono soddisfatto di lavorare per far sì che la gente abbia la musica che merita e non sempre la stessa ricetta ricostruita e rimasticata". Ipse dixit.

Terence Trent D'Arby torna annunciandosi come "prescelto" Sananda Maitreya, alias Terence Trent D'Arby, ha realizzato un album dopo sei anni di assoluto silenzio. Intorno a lui sta crescendo una leggenda.

The Wild Card - il suo quinto album - sarà disponibile su un sito tedesco e solo in un secondo momento si penserà a farlo arrivare nei negozi, questa la grande novità - più o meno- del ritorno di TTDA alla musica.

L'artista ha anche approfittato del web per comunicare ai suoi fan il cambio di nome: "Terence Trent D'Arby - ha detto - è il veicolo attraverso il quale Sananda lascierà brillare la sua luce". Era il maggio del 1998 e a giugno seguì un altro annuncio: "Sono una rappresentazione grafica in tre dimensioni di quello che serve alle vostre anime....

Il mito di Maitreya parla di un maestro che un giorno tornerà a questo mondo per aiutarci a risolvere i problemi critici del pianeta... ma Terence sei sicuro di essere proprio tu il prescelto?

Domanda da 100 milioni: chi si cela dietro il nome di Sananda Maitreya? Difficile rispondere, anche perché si tratta di un personaggio che ha visto crecere la sua fortuna musicale nella seconda metà degli anni 80 per poi scemare nel tempo, stiamo parlando Terence Trent D’Arby. L’artista, il cui ultimo lavoro risale al 1995 (Vibrator), ha reso disponibile "The wild card", il quinto album della sua carriera e primo con il nuovo nome, all’indirizzo web www.pentacles.net e solo a luglio sarà messo in vendita nei negozi. In bocca al lupo a Maitreya!

Terence Trent D'Arby

Il quasi dimenticato autore di "Dance little sister" torna con un nuovo album e un nuovo nome. Per ora, solo sul web.

A sei anni dallo sfortunato "Vibrator" torna Terence Trent D'Arby con un nuovo album distribuito al momento solo su internet.
L'apprezzatissimo cantautore di brani come "Dance little sister", "Sign your name" e "Delicate", gradualmente dimenticato dal grande pubblico che aveva apprezzato il suo brillante esordio, ha deciso di rendere disponibile il nuovo lavoro "The wild card" solo tramite download al sito http://www.pentacles.net.

L'album potrebbe arrivare nei normali punti vendita a luglio. A segnare il momento di svolta della carriera di D'Arby e' arrivata cinque mesi fa anche la notizia del cambiamento ufficiale del nome del cantante, che ora si fa chiamare Sananda Maitreya. "The wild card" e' nato da nove mesi di lavoro, durante i quali D'Arby-Maitreya ha registrato altre 13 canzoni che spera di poter rendere disponibili in futuro.

{Non ho dovuto fare sacrifici per questo disco - ha spiegato il cantante - la cosa più importante è che la gente potesse ascoltare i brani. Nelle case discografiche ci sono problemi enormi, soprattutto considerando che la maggior parte delle persone che guidano queste istituzioni non hanno più alcun sentimento per la musica}. L'ultima apparizione pubblica rilevante di Terence Trent D'Arby fu dopo la morte di Michael Hutchence che aveva portato alla sua esibizione all'Olympic Stadium di Sydney insieme al resto degli INXS.

Según ha confesado el propio Maitreya al Rolling Stone, esta decisión no ha necesitado mucha meditación dada la situación en que ha desembocado la industria últimamente. "Hay un altísimo nivel de constricción en los sellos discográficos. Especialmente cuando compruebas que la gente que rige los destinos de la industria hace ya tiempo que dejó de tener ilusión o interés por la música.

D'Arby retorna como Sananda Maitreya
O artista que, nos bons tempos de fama, era conhecido como Terence Trent D'Arby (há cinco meses atrás ele mudou seu nome artístico para Sananda Maitreya) lançou seu novo álbum de forma independente e totalmente digital.

Devidamente intitulado 'The Wild Card', seu quinto disco de estúdio está disponível no website www.pentacles.net e será enviado para as lojas normais em julho.

The album is Maitreya/D'Arby's first recording since 1995's TTD's Vibrator. Maitreya disse que o álbum, o primeiro que ele lança desde 'Vibrator' de 1995 (ainda sob o nome de Terence trent D'Arby), foi gerado durante nove meses quando ele também gravou outras trinta canções que ele pretende lançar mais tarde. "Neste disco não tive de fazer concessões," desabafa, "mas o mais importante para mim era que as pessoas pudessem ouvir as canções. Nas gravadoras exite um tremendo grau de pressão, especialmente quando você considera que a maioria dos homens que comandas estas intituições não tem nenhum amor ou sentimento pela música, só entendem o que eles presumem ser a linha fundamental a ser seguida."
"É como se eu tivesse assado uma torta, e fosse contratualmente obrigado a entregá-la inteira para alguém que então digna-se a cortá um pedaço e dá-lo para mim. Isso é um insulto ao meu caráter."

No momento, Maitreya está conversando com empresas de marketing para desenvolver formas alternativas de divulgação e lançamento de novos e diferentes artistas e estilos de música para o público. "Sou muito grato pelos sofrimentos que passei para uma realização maior," diz. "E com isso em minha mente, nós podemos ter a liberdade de dar às pessoas o que elas merecem e nem sempre a mesma música reconstruída e regurgitada centenas e centenas de vezes."

Terence Trent D´Arby släpper ny skiva på nätet.

Terence Trent D´Arby, som slog stort i slutet av 1980-talet med låtar som "Wishing well" och "Sign your name", är tillbaka med en ny skiva. Men denna gång heter han Sananda Maitreya och skivan släpps på Internet. Albumet heter "The Wild Card" och är hans första sedan "Vibrator" 1995. Den kommer att läggas ut på en tysk hemsida innan den når skivhandeln. Anledningen till namnbytet är enligt Terence Trent D´Arby att namnet Sananda färdats inom honom under en längre tid. "Jag vet inte vad Sananda betyder och jag har inte tillåtit mig at ta reda på det", skriver han och tillägger:
"Jag är den holografiska återgivningen i den tredje dimensionen av vad era själar önskar att en av era favoritartister ska vara." (PM)
