I have an open ear to listen to all genres of music, I really dig discovering new bands, when I first started my eZine back in August of 2007 I got an email from a person named Nink Nink saying check out Carmen.

I went to Carmens myspace page and check out her music what can I say I fell in love with her lyrics and discovered that there is alot of soul and that each songs is like a breath of fresh air with different beats different sounds.

Something I picked up on in Carmens music her lyrics and style portray imagery you feel the emmotion in her songs and you can see a picture of what shes conveying in her lyrics. One can easily relate to her songs they are original and real. I immediately bought my treasured CD Carmen Chiles SOULution and jewel to have in my CD collection, the artwork is fabulous.







Her debut album “SOULution” was released in August 2007, and within four months Carmen signed a licensing and distribution deal for the CD with Amplitude Records International.

The struggles that she faced while getting to this point are clearly reflected in the album as she so eloquently expresses her great appreciation for the unsung hero’s in today's society thus allowing her listeners to relate to the many struggles that we all face everyday.

Hear Me Feel Me Understand Me” was inspired by a complete stranger. A hard working man who Carmen happened to see washing the windows of a bank late one night; hence the first lines of the song, “Oh why’d you wipe me clean like a window pane, now they see.

I feel that my journey and all the struggles and obstacles I’ve had to overcome in making ‘SOULution’ are really not that different than the struggles and obstacles we all deal with everyday. The key is to look deep within yourself for the answers. ~Carmen Chiles

“SOULution” is available now on iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster and Sony Connect.
