HELP US RE-IGNITE THE SOUNDS OF THE 1970'S

What is SW Songs and Publishing? It is the song writing vehicle for Singaporean-born Wendy Liew and Sydney-born Scott Williams.

We write for a number of different genres, however our primary focus is Pop, Adult Contemporary and Country.

There are 2 CD releases in our catalogue, being "SW Songs and Publishing" [issued in 2006] http://cdbaby.com/cd/liewwilliams and "SW Songs and Publishing II" [2008] http://cdbaby.com/cd/liewwilliams2 . We are presently recording a third release, to be issued in 2010.

Whilst we are essentially non-performing songwriters, our recorded versions of our compositions have gained encouraging sales in the USA, Europe, Asia and our present homeland of Australia. Our 2008 CD has out-sold our first release, and we believe that our impending third release contains our strongest material to date.

What makes SW Songs and Publishing stand out from all the other up-and coming songwriters? We are both children of the 1970's, thus we grew up listening to great songs with original melodies, meaningful lyrics, quality arrangements and perfect vocal harmonies. This source of inspiration has never left us, thus so much of our self-penned material is influenced by this decade.

Our 2006 release came to the attention of Toby Creswell [former editor of Rolling Stone Australia and a respected music journalist], with encouraging critical acclaim. This can be viewed at http://cdbaby.com/cd/liewwilliams

HELP US RE-IGNITE THE SOUNDS OF THE 1970's

We are passionate about music in general, however modern music tends to be top-heavy in studio gimmickry and personality promotion. The art of song writing appears to have been lost in recent decades, thus we continue to be fully focussed on writing and recording songs which hark back to an era when song structure and arrangement was of full importance.

Help us re-ignite the sounds of the 1970's. You can hear sound bytes and full versions of our catalogue at the links provided below, and at the same time please feel free to spread the word to your friends about our musical goals.

It would be a wonderful accomplishment for our music to reach as many listeners as possible, to the extent that top-tier professional musicians would be keen to cover our material.

Let's have some fun in spreading the word about 1970's-style music!

Regards

Scott Williams
