(HOOKS, TEXAS) October 25th, 2014 – As if he was a master chef, singer-songwriter Mitchell Bobby Gaskin has managed to cook up a melodic mix of musical hooks in his debut album, Simply Beautiful to Me. What is most ironic is the fact that he composed the entire album while living in Hooks, Texas. The CD is a funky-fried dish that simmers with pop, urban, tropical and dance music.
The title track, “Simply Beautiful to Me” was officially released in January of 2014 but it had success on the preview charts when it climbed into the Top 50 on Digital Radio Tracker. It also gleaned Gaskin over nine-thousand listeners as well as many fans on RadioAirPlay.com.
Mitchell’s recent success has earned him a mention on Coast 2 Coast Magazine in October’s Issue No. 54 and placement in Coast 2 Coast mixtape Makin Moves Vol 318. Now, he is eager to share the rest of Simply Beautiful to Me with his fans as the album official launches to radio.
Mitchell explains the thematic elements behind the title track as well as the entire album… “The ideas and inspiration for Simply Beautiful to Me started with the desire to describe how a woman looks to me in ways unseen by others.” There’s eight tracks on the album, all showcasing Gaskin’s ability as a lyricist. “I started out as a poet… a writer… So, singing and songwriting was just a hobby at first, but that’s changed.” explains Mitchell. The project echoes Mitchell’s wide array of musical influences - the central of which was Sam Cooke – another pioneering singer-songwriter.
Key tracks on Simply Beautiful to Me include “Your Loveable Eyes,” a romantic and emotive power-ballad. Gaskin’s “Beautiful Just the Way You Are” goes high-energy and high-tempo with its dance/club feel. “Sometimes Life is Cruel” shines with its PM Dawn-ish and retro 80s flair. In the studio, Mitchell relied on the talents of producer Frank Pryor, and the instrumentation skillset of Jordan Rainer on piano and keyboards. In 2014, Mitchell signed a publishing and distribution deal with Tate Music Group to help spread his funky-fried dish of hooky melodies… all composed in Hooks, Texas.
