Unveiling Collaborations: A Fusion of Purpose and Melody

In a world where the essence of music can often be overshadowed by fleeting trends, Collaborations emerge as a beacon of authenticity and artistry. Conceived by Ed Daniels and brought to life under the expert production and management of Vic Steffens (Owner of Horizon Studios), this project unites a diverse collective of indie artists in a celebration of creativity, storytelling, and the timeless sounds of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. With the masterful orchestration of Matt Oestreicher, Collaborations is more than a project—it’s a revival of music with soul, a tribute to songwriting in its purest form.

Leading this revival is the project’s focus single, "Let The Love In (feat. Anais Preller)", a powerful and uplifting track that embodies the spirit of unity and emotional depth. With its heartfelt lyrics and rich instrumentation, the song is poised to captivate audiences and serve as the defining anthem of Collaborations.

At the core of Collaborations is a steadfast commitment to authenticity and creative freedom. Each artist involved is given a foundational theme and structure, allowing them to infuse their own unique perspectives and emotional depth into the music. This dynamic approach enriches the musical landscape, fostering songs that resonate deeply with themes of social consciousness, introspection, and human connection. The result is a catalog of music that speaks directly to the soul, reminding listeners of the power of meaningful storytelling.

For those who long for the days when music was not just heard but truly felt, Collaborations delivers a refreshing affirmation: the spirit of the 60s, 70s, and 80s is alive and thriving. Each song is crafted with an unwavering respect for these influential decades, ensuring they resonate with listeners who appreciate music that transcends time.

Collaborations is powered by a dedicated family of musicians and vocalists. Ed Daniels lays the foundation, crafting the music and themes, while an exceptional lineup of co-writers—including Anais Preller, Suzanne Kiss, Heather Joseph, Carla Zipa, Sylvia Jones, Sheila Fabrizio, Vita Rose Taytro, Bonnie Lee Panda, and Alex Bach—brings the themes to life through both their voices and lyrics. Under the direction of Kevin Monroe, backup vocals are further enriched by the incredible talents of Devotion, adding layers of harmony and depth.

Recording sessions at Horizon Music Studios in West Haven, CT, are expertly overseen and produced by Vic Steffens, with co-production and orchestrations by Matt Oestreicher. The Collaborations Band, featuring award-winning musicians such as Bobby Torello, Scott Spray, Al Ferrante, Jon Peckman, Tim DeHuff, Bill Holloman, and Dave Eggar on strings, brings each piece to life with skill and passion.
