Solo artist Clinark, will be launching his new album “TRIBUTE TO
MICHAEL JACKSON A LEGEND AND A WARRIOR” on 28th November 2010 . It will
be available in mp3 on iTunes and CD Formats. from CD Baby.com and
Clinark.com. Many of the songs on this 18 track album reflect Clinark’s
Reggae influences as well as R&B. Some of the songs are acoustic
tracks. Jackson’s classic “I’ll Be There” is already a favoured track
amongst Clinark’s fans which features Adele Harley. (See YouTube video
below) having previously been released as single just prior to Jackson’s
death in 2009.

Favoured tracks that reflect Clinark’s vocal talent are “Heal the World,
the classic song, “We’re Almost There,” is given a new Reggae twist.
Tracks “Lady In My Life” and “You Were There” are presented in an
acoustic style. He makes his first venture into Dancehall style which
lends itself to “They Don’t Really Care About Us.” “Heartbreak Hotel”
and Remember The Time.”

Clinark says, “I am totally honoured by the support I have received on
this work. The Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson were a major musical
influence and inspiration to me as I grew up. Later, my influences were
the late Reggae legend Bob Marley, and UK Reggae band, Aswad amongst
others.”

In May 2009 with the anticipation of seeing Michael in concert in London
at the 02 Arena, Clinark was singing along to “I’ll Be There.” Clinark
says, “My manager, Juliet Edwards, suggested that I record the song. It
was pre- released May 2009, unfortunately, Michael died in June. As time
went on this recording was received well by DJ’s and fans as a tribute
to Michael, being played around the world on radio stations.

Clnark says he is still affected by Jackson’s passing. “I watched as the
tragedy of Michael’s passing unfolded and joined fans around the world
in the condolences. I recorded and released a few version of the song
“Smile” in Dec 2009. It was one of Michael’s favourite songs. I was
still devastated by Michael’s death, but set about putting the optimism
into the song and celebrating the great contribution Michael made to
this world.” Clinark’s treatment of the song has received much acclaim
including this quote, “When I listened to Clinark’s song “Smile,” I
cried… and smiled… Michael would have loved it.” Larry Nimmer, “The
Untold Story of Neverland,” Nimmer Pictures, Inc. www.nimmer.net

Clinark was encouraged by fans again and in June 2010 he recorded “I
Just Can’t Stop Loving You “& ”You Are Not Alone.” These songs are
now available on this tribute album.

By August 2010, Clinark had many requests from fans via Facebook and
Twitter for a Michael Jackson tribute album. He says, “I was encouraged
by DJ Musical Genius and many fans to record this “Tribute to Michael
Jackson A Legend and a Warrior.”So I re-assembled my old album crew of
great musicians who worked on my debut album “Journey to Foreign” and
“I’ll Be There.” We went back to Stingray’s Studio in London, with
Dillie, Mafia & Fluxy, Stanley Andrew and Barbara Nap, with the
addition of Michael Martin for classical piano and brass and strings for
“Heartbreak Hotel.” Clinark says, “I hope you appreciate this tribute
from my heart. Thanks to all those who have supported me in the works
and Kevin Reeves of Universal Music Group for the mastering, who also I
worked with on previous projects with Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5
amongst others.”

Clinark says “Michael Jackson, inspired me, he was the greatest
performer to ever live and great a humanitarian. RIP Michael Joseph
Jackson.”
