Terry Carpenter Joins The Ranks Of Rising Stars

November 12, 2009

It’s great to hear new music in any genre that’s well produced and performed.  "Besame Mi Amor" (Kiss Me, My Love) from Bo-Ty Productions, LLC is just that.  Terry Carpenter has looks, charm and talent.  His voice is clear, emotive and passionate; a perfect mix for this NuSoul track.  You’ll feel chills and goose bumps just listening to the track.  Underneath the powerful and sensual vocals is a beautiful piano melody contrasting the earthiness of Carpenter’s performance.  The track congers up falling in love the way Hollywood movies do when there’s a spark between two people.  Carpenter takes today’s contemporary styling and old school phrasing to make "Besame Mi Amor" and unforgettable song.

Carpenter was born in Fayetteville, NC and now lives in NYC.  He’s worked with notable artists such as Aaliyah, Joe, Tyrese and George Benson.  Carpenter was signed with Clive Davis in a group called “ART of Soul”.  Group members included Anwar Robinson Season 4 Idol Finalist, Randy and Terry.  The “ART” in ART of Soul stands for Anwar, Randy and Terry.  Now living in NYC, Carpenter continues to work on his music with Tyrone Corbett and Robert Donzella.  Both men are well respected producers, songwriters and star makers.  Their record label, Bo-Ty Productions, LLC, cranks out hit after hit in their West Orange, NJ studio.

If you like, CSI Miami, Bentley’s, vacations in Hawaii, Chinese food, and have always wanted to live in Brazil, you may be the lucky one Terry is singing about in “Besame Mi Amor.”  The track starts quietly with soft keyboard, organ and a dreamlike melody.  Simple and soft rim shots add a hip-to-hip slow-dance rhythm as Carpenter blends his voice perfectly with the mood.  Lyrically, the song is pure magic and Terry tells this story with fervor.   Get a taste of “Besame Mi Amor” by watching Carpenter’s YouTube video clip
