FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JOSIE AIELLO ‘S BACK ON THE SCENE WITH THE NEW ALBUM, WHERE I AM CHICAGO, June 1, 2007 ― Josie Aiello, one of the most sought after musical artists, is back on the scene with her soulful vocals, signature arrangements, undeniable lyrics and infectious melodies on her new CD, Where I Am, the highly-anticipated follow-up to her debut, Unkunvenshunal Girl released in 2001 on Quincy Jones’ Qwest / Warner Bros. label. The radio-friendly lead single, “Even If” highlights Josie’s 14-track journey through pop, R&B and world music influences to signify her all-new sound.

C Major) takes Josie to church with music, lyrics and production on the smooth opening track, “My Prayer.” The album also features Chicago sensations LaDee Flipside; the retro soul vocals of Devin Thompson; the rapper J. Stokes; and the soaring voices of Pastor Chris Harris and 14-year-old rising star, Chrystal Harris. http://www.josieaiello.com http://www.myspace.com/josieaiello07
