| |
| Ramel has found Closure, and is poised for Stardom... |
| |
| Ramel Werner routinely does something he'd say most recording artists |
| don't even have the luxury of dreaming about: He creates music entirely |
| on his own terms. |
| |
| When he goes to the studio, he's not thinking of writing a radio smash, |
| because few radio stations play "real" music anymore. He's not thinking |
| of a chart record, because most music charts are driven by something |
| strange and sinister beyond mere listener appeal. No, when Ramel |
| finishes a song, the only voice he feels obligated to listen to, is his |
| heart. This is how he makes music. |
| |
| So who is this man behind the shadows, the man, with penning lyrics of |
| love lost and found? The man whom that's not such an easy question to |
| answer and he likes it that way.A member of Trinity United Church of |
| Christ, Ramel is the first of two children born in the city of Chicago, |
| IL. His parents, being of a very diverse musical background, Ramel grew |
| up in a house filled with all kinds of music. He cites Teddy |
| Pendergrass, Luther Vandross, and Eric Benet as his musical |
| inspirations. |
| |
| "What I love about Luther & Eric's music, is that they could sing soft |
| and get you to understand the same level of intensity as Teddy |
| Pendergrass," says Ramel. He loathes talking about his personal life, so |
| here's the skinny. He works with children with special needs, and |
| decided to take the plunge and live the life of an artist, after |
| completing his Master's degree in Behavioral/Learning Disabilities. |
| |
| Ramel is one man not afraid to express himself about the possibility of |
| love. If she can "penetrate my heart with romance and captivate my soul |
| with love and respect." (As per June Ebony Magazine article: Top |
| Bachelors of the Year, page166) |
| |
| Throughout the album, Ramel centers on matters of the heart, usually not |
| talked about openly and honestly. Closure presents more than pure |
| romance; these songs have bite and spice. The opener, "Show Me" is an |
| intimate confession to open ones heart, and allow love back in, while |
| the smooth and soulful "U Put It On Me" is an unabashed declaration of |
| eternal devotion to his future unknown mate. |
| |
| The debut single "Back In The Day" is a mid-tempo, ultra-funky |
| reflection of his childhood years, while "Stay With Me", is an equally |
| clever story of wishful thinking, second chances. "For awhile I was |
| afraid to trust my heart with what I wanted to say, adds Ramel. The song |
| "Baby Without U" helped me through those times, and could be all the |
| closure you'll need ever need". |
| |
| With these tracks serving as his vibrant, moody canvas, Ramel would then |
| lyrically paint some of the most revealing and sensitive portraits of |
| love, relationships, and testimonials you would ever expect to hear from |
| a quiet, introspective man like himself. |
| |
| Ramel's music will intoxicate. "Closure" encourages you to stay true to |
| your inner soul and emotional center and quote Ramel by way of The |
| Whispers, it simply "Just Gets Better With Time." |
