You choose the person that you want to be until love comes along and flips everything upside down. For as long as I can remember, relationships have been a large part of my life and I’ve realized there are two ways about them -- they either grow or they wilt. Being with a partner and working through the good and bad are what make a relationship something to celebrate. Letters to My Exes is the embodiment of life lived and love found. It’s my journey through humanity's single most motivating subject, love. Each song is a moment, a story, and a memory of what I’ve cherished and what I’ve lost. It’s a reflection on being vulnerable through each relationship and understanding the importance of finding a more authentic you. The melodies in this album express the excitement, passion, anger, and sadness that make life either unbearably heart wrenching or unbelievably whimsical. The answer to the old adage "better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" is left up to all of you. It is my sincere hope that my music touches your soul with the same rawness and authenticity that inspired it’s creation. Connect. Love. Live. Sincerely, Jorandy ---- JORANDY CHAVEZ TO LAUNCH NEW EP Recording artist JORANDY CHAVEZ, releases his new EP - Letters to My Exes May of 2015. Letters to My Exes was produced by two industry talents, Chris James and Ryan Daly. Chris James is the Grammy Nominated artist and pop producer heard in the clubs and on the radio featured in Deadmau5’s smash summer hit "The Veldt." Ryan Daly is the lead vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter for Capitol Records/Astralwerks band Parade of Lights, referenced for its sound as “dirty alt-electro meets shoegaze rock,” a fitting descriptor for the Los Angeles-based quartet’s signature blend of electronics with an indie rock aesthetic that creates a hook-laden, addictive, anthem-ready sound as familiar as it is strikingly unique. Chavez speaks as to why he chose to release an EP, "This EP is about the many phases that I actually went through with exes of mine. Its about what happens when two people meet from the beginning of when they lay eyes on each other to when they grow attached to each other, to when they break up because of "irreconcilable differences", to meeting a new person and not being able to invest in another relationship unless you know your new partner is ready for a commitment or because you just got out of a crazy relationship." Letters to My Exes is a marriage of sophisticated Pop, R&B, and Indie sounds falling comfortably into a lineage that stretches from that first glance to the yearning of never parting when dancing into a cloud of love and infatuation. Fans will hear a more mature Chavez on the EP’s first track, Cut To The Chase. “This song is about seeing somebody that you are attracted to off the bat and you can see that they are in a mundane situation and you know you can bring adventure and excitement to their lives and you meet that person and want to cut to the chase or shake the paddy wagon," a very animated Chavez states. Cut to the Chase is derived from a style of Club and House Music with a foundation of Synthesizers.
