MONTE MOIR Releases Standout Solo CD, "This Side of Paradise"

(Minneapolis. MN) Monte Moir, singer/songwriter, producer and one of
the original members of the innovative R&B group The Time, has
released a standout solo CD, "This Side of Paradise". The CD is a
mature debut replete with all the trappings that have made Monte Moir
a well-known name-at least in music industry circles. Lush melodies
and syncopated arrangements call to mind such artists as Michael
McDonald, Paul Simon and Boz Scaggs, but Moir's debut as a vocalist
makes each track shimmer with individuality and heartfelt emotion.

Moir remains one of the core members of Morris Day and the TIME. The
group is best known for it's hits "The Bird" and Jungle Love" from
the Prince movie "Purple Rain". They have also recently appeared in
the movie "Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back." As a songwriter and
producer, he has had a number of hits including Janet Jackson's, "The
Pleasure Principle" (from her Grammy nominated CD) and Alexander
O'Neal's, "If You Were Here Tonight."

On "This Side of Paradise", Monte Moir not only plays keyboards, but
guitar, bass and accordion as well. Curt Jones (of Slave and Deja)
adds guitar parts and background vocals, and Estaire Godinez, who has
worked with George Benson and Prince, contributes percussion to
several tracks.

"This Side of Paradise" has received widespread airplay in the US,
Canada, and Europe. Claude Gagné of Klodnet Radio in Canada
says , "Monte Moir's talent and creativity has no limits! His
beautiful lyrics are matched by his music." Monter Moir has extensive
plans for touring in support of this great release.
