Erin Costelo Releases New Album "Down Below, the Status Quo"

Erin Costelo is an artist who is mining the truth-through writing, arranging, producing and masterful live performance. With a commanding voice, she has the ability to successfully float between genres and stages, her unwavering vision continuously offering the most authentic voice to a feeling, idea or story. 

Her latest, self-produced album, DOWN BELOW, THE STATUS QUO, was nominated for a total of 12 awards in her home country of Canada, winning Producer of the Year and Solo Recording of the Year. It is a magical, moonlight-soaked reverie, filled with drama and intensity, in one moment a defiant cry and in the next a desperate whisper. It has been described as "embodying the spirit of Nina Simone" and "conjuring the ghost of Donny Hathaway." Experience this firsthand by watching Erin's official video for "Fighter" below:
