Canadian Star Patricia Conroy Brings New Emotion to Upcoming CD `Talking to Myself`

LOS ANGELES, CA. (O'Reilly International) -- Everyone's talking about Patricia Conroy and her soon to be released CD Talking To Myself. Despite a release date still months away, her latest project is already creating a buzz.

Her first album in six years marks a new chapter for the accomplished artist. Known for number one hits such as “Bad Day for Trains” and “Keep Me Rockin�,” the Canadian star wrote or co-wrote all 11 tracks of what insiders claim to be a milestone in her already impressive career.

Strong songwriting is evident throughout the CD which explores many emotional themes – from infatuation in “Everything You Do” to maturation in “Wild Card” to a gutsy determination such as the resilience displayed in “Save Your Breath.”

“Talking to Myself” speaks about the struggles to reach elusive goals and the futility of those efforts at times.

“I didn�t write the song as an anthem,” commented Conroy. “I was simply expressing what I was going through. From the strong response, I must have touched an emotional nerve.”

From an early age, Conroy has felt music�s power to connect people and move them emotionally. Born in multicultural Montreal, Patricia was raised in an environment influenced by the French culture, her father�s strong Irish roots, and her mother�s love of country music. She speaks fondly of the songs that flowed through her home as a little girl, which ultimately led to the pursuit of a music career years later.

With eight number one singles and five number one videos, that career has proven to be very fruitful. Recently Conroy added yet another award to her collection at this year�s Canadian Country Music Awards for “Independent Female Vocalist.”

Talking to Myself was produced by husband Bob Funk and co-produced by Kevin Churko of Shania Twain and The Corrs fame. It�s an innovative album with a fresh sound and an emotional depth fans will find hard to resist.
The recently released single and video for “Talking to Myself” hit the airwaves in Canada in October.
The official release date for the album is January 30, 2007 on Fontana North/Universal Music Canada.
