FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Michael Botte Band draws inspiration from rocker Lenny Kravitz with New Release "Shine Down"

Philadelphia, PA – The Michael Botte Band is thrilled to announce the release of their latest single, "Shine Down." This pop rock track channels the R&B energy and soulful rock vibes of Lenny Kravitz, delivering a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly modern.

"Shine Down" is a vibrant anthem about the power of love and connection to provide inner light promising courage, strength, and hope.

It's a song that balances the vulnerability of offering oneself with the strength found in love and inner conviction. The pop-rock feel with R&B elements enhances this message with an energetic and uplifting tone, despite the potential for challenges hinted at in the lyrics.

"I've always been inspired by artists who aren't afraid to blend genres and bring passion to their music," says Michael Botte. "Lenny Kravitz is a prime example of that, and with 'Shine Down,' we aimed to capture that same energy and create something that feels both classic and new."

The track was recorded in Botte’s home studio in Philadelphia PA and Sound Foundation Studios in Canton, OH and produced by 40-year-music-veteran Bob Beals (owner of Sound Foundation Studios).  "Shine Down" is available now on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Amazon, iTunes, etc.
