Kari Taylor Releases Debut Single
The talented vocalist from California is set to release her exciting debut single, a move which is
highly anticipated by her fans across the world.

stage in the career of the multi-talented singer-songwriter. Kari, who lives in Torrance, California, has just put the
final touches to the Single, and is now preparing for the imminent release that will hopefully build upon her fan base
and get her music heard by more people than ever.
The Single, ‘Love Come Down' (The Remake) is a cover of the original written by “Kashif” and originally sung by
Evelyn Champaign King. Kari’s version provides a combination of high-energy, soulful, edgy, vocals and music that
is punctuated throughout with elements of hip-hop, R&B and house.
The single was recorded at S.M.G. Studios in Inglewood, CA and Blue Palm Studios in North Hollywood, CA. and S.M.
G. Studio in Inglewood, CA. It was produced by Wendell Wellman courtesy of S.M.G., engineered by Rich Niles, and
Mastered by Grammy Nominee, Erick Labson courtesy of Universal Mastering Studios.
The theme of Kari’s recording project underlies the different changes a woman goes through when she is in love,
changes that Kari has experienced throughout her life. It is this that has helped her to develop her musical style.
‘Love Come Down’ (The Remake) reveals the stunning array of influences that have found their way into Kari’s
music. Kari’s grounding came from Gospel and R&B music – however, she has always been known for exploring all
types of music in other genres. For this reason, she has infused R&B, pop, Jazz, and House into her music for a

Kari’s life has certainly been full of experiences. Not long ago, she was invited to join a cast of celebrities including
Chante Moore, Tata Vega, and Sheldon Reynolds (EWF) to perform in honor of Michael Jackson whose Award was
accepted by his brother, Tito Jackson, an unforgettable experience that shows she has already made a name for
herself and her appeal just continues to grow.
Kari has said of her work: “I was brought up around a very talented family. My mother and grandfather were both
singers and Actors, my uncles and cousins were in singing groups and some are in the industry now. I’ve performed
on stage since the tender age of 5. Since then, my style has developed and I have incorporated other genres which
have all been highlighted in ‘Love Come Down (The Remake).’ The single is the first that is a reflection of my
influences over the years and the changes of love that I’ve experienced in my life.”
Kari has been influenced by numerous artists such as Whitney Houston, Phyllis Hyman, Sade, Janet and Michael
Jackson.
The Single will be launching on May 17, 2011, and fans are encouraged to visit Kari’s Website, which provides

New R& B Artist Kari Taylor Makes Her ActingDebut in Musical-Dramedy
Stage Play In Sheep's Clothing
Writer and Director, Robert Kinsey presents the reality stage play In Sheep's Clothing. A
musical dramedy filled with laughter, music, fun, and drama starring the very talented, Kari
Taylor.
Los Angeles, CA, USA, May 19, 2014 - (PressReleasePoint) - EARFORCE ONE RECORDS
announced today that Kari Taylor will make her acting debut in Robert Kinsey's first, ever reality
stage play "In Sheep's Clothing" as Johnnie Mae, a humble, Godly, dedicated woman who although is
pained by her husband's repeated acts of infidelity, doesn't have the courage to leave him. "Robert
remembered me from the small part I played singing his first play and offered me a principal role in
"In Sheep?s Clothing." "I am very excited to be in such a wonderful play and to have been given the
opportunity to work with him again." "Robert challenges his actors to be the opposite of who they
are, which forces us to dig deep inside of ourselves to realize our potential and be the best that we can
be." "By doing so, I have found that even though some of the circumstances are different, Johnnie Mae
and I are not that different." "In fact, my role is a woman in the mirror experience that all women
will be able to identify with." "The play has something for everyone and if you like to laugh along with
the excitement and drama of reality TV, you will definitely love In Sheep's Clothing." said Kari.
Kari Taylor is an independent recording artist who released her single "Love Come Down" on her
indie label Earforce One Records. Along with acting, Kari will be releasing her second single this year.
In Sheep's Clothing, is the first of it's kind - a reality play about a 17-year-old girl named Syann, who
embarks on a musical odyssey to search for stardom and a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow; but
finds that not everyone is what they appear to be and all that glitters, is not necessarily gold! And even
though "In Sheep?s Clothing" is a story full of laughter, music, dancing, and displays a whole lot of
fun, it also takes a penetrating look at friendship, marriage, commitment and the folly of not honoring
each and every one of these. The play is choreographed by new comer, Brandi Taylor, a talented
dancer/choreographer and captain of KPA Dance Fusion Repertoire.
The play runs May 30-31, 2014. Location is at the Culver City Veterans Complex Theater, located at
4117 Overland Avenue, in Culver City, CA. Tickets are available for purchase at
http://www.brownpapertickets.com and http://www.sheepsclothingplay.com.

and Chris Smith will also star in the project.
