Jennifer Corday has just released a new CD, Superhero: Wonder Woman Edition, hitting streets in November of 2009.  The new collection includes the ten beautifully crafted previously released hit songs from her album Superhero, as well as three brand new bonus tracks: The Superhero Solar City Remixes produced by Scott Anderson will dare you to dance and are being distributed to DJs across the nation. Contact Envy Records for your copy!  Superhero is featured in the new lesbian film starring Jill Bennett and Cathy DeBuono, And Then Came Lola, playing at film festivals around the world.  The Superhero music video airs on MTV’s LOGO, was named one of the Top 15 in the Star Radio 98.7 Rockstar Competition and has won numerous other awards at indie film fests across the nation.  As a bonus last track, Corday wrote and recorded Wonder Woman as a heartfelt tribute to her mother, Judy, whom she lost almost three years ago to breast cancer.   Corday celebrates the CD Release on board a Sweet Cruise to the Caribbean in November where she will be performing.  The CD will also be available in November on her site, and through all digital distributions outlets.

Corday is currently recording a new collection of songs at her home studio, Envy Records, and will mix her tenth studio album at Flying Pig Productions in Orange County to be released in early 2010.  It’s a raw and real, passionate and empowering rock & roll rumble full of heartache and celebration.  Songs like “The More You’re Into Me The Less I’m Into You,” “My Evil Twin,” “Take Me,” and “Rock & Roll Jet” are fresh and fun hooky anthems, while “Fish Out Of Water,” “Lemon Seed,” and “Broken Hearted” will leave you breathless and stunned at Corday’s crux between courage and vulnerability. The new record promises to present Corday in a new blue-green place, full of risks and surprises.  The underwater photography and CD art and will amaze you as much as the sounds inside.  

In between recording dates, Corday performs live on the local circuit and travels throughout the U.S to play notable venues and events. She rocks the house with her band, but also performs solo, with an amazing acoustic performance that will take you from a whisper to a scream.  She also has a special side project, an all-girl band (Corday & The G Strings), featuring top-notch female musicians and a wild all-girl rock and roll show.  Either way you slice it, Corday is a frontwoman and an entertainer with an incredible show! She is an accomplished guitarist, bassist, and cellist, as well as a captivating vocalist and skilled songwriter.  She also produces “Girl Rock,” a monthly video vlog she shoots and edits for posting on SheWired.com.  The vlog features live music from some of the best female musicians in the nation, candid interviews with Corday, and reality-style, behind-the-scenes footage.  She also writes for Curve Magazine, gaining loyal readers and fans across the nation.

Corday has a large and loyal following in Los Angeles and Orange County and is also nationally known by all fans of women who rock, having toured and performed at numerous notable venues and huge festivals and events where she has opened for Cher, Joan Jett, Sugar Ray, The Dave Matthews Band, Pat Benatar, Joan Osborne, The B-52′s, Macy Gray, The Indigo Girls, Meredith Brooks, Cyndi Lauper, Berlin, Jonatha Brooke, Sophie B. Hawkins, Chaka Khan, Sheena Easton, Taylor Dayne, Melissa Ferrick, Catie Curtis, and many more. Corday wrote, recorded, and produced Superhero in her home studio before delivering the final tracks to mix-master Gavin MacKillop (Goo Goo Dolls, Sarah McLachlan, Melissa Ferrick, Toad the Wet Sprocket) and is packaged in a very impressive double disc Digipack which includes a CD and DVD with special behind the scenes footage.  Her music can be heard regularly on film and TV, and can also be heard playing in the background of numerous MTV shows including Made, Making Of The Band, and My Sweet Sixteen while her ring tones are available for download through Verizon and Samsung.  As the first ever three-time winner of Best Live Band, Best Alternative Band, and Best Live Female Performer at the Orange County Music Awards, Corday is clearly making everyone sit up and take notice! Corday’s numerous awards, which include nominations for Outstanding New Recording at the Outmusic Awards, Best Song and Best Acoustic Group at the OCMAs, Best Pop Rock Band at the Southern California Music Awards, Outstanding Orange County Artist at the L.A. Music Awards, and Video of The Year at both the LA Music Awards and the GLAMA Awards, are a testimony to her talent.  Corday’s previous albums, Naked, Driven, Welcome To My Past, Kick Ash, Spiderwebs, and Superhero sold thousands of copies and are still selling strong. Her hit song “Pie” has been described by critics as “a radio’s dream,” and was included on the MTV Undressed soundtrack and in numerous independent films.  She has also performed at schools everywhere presenting powerful anti-drug concerts with the full band.  She has toured overseas to perform for the troops and is always proud to make a difference with her music.  She is currently sponsored by Daisy Rock Guitars, Larrivee Guitars, Levy’s Leathers, SKB Cases, Dunlop, D’Addario, Audio Technica, and Peavey.
