"A soulful CD" - 20 Pearls - Spike Rebel  

Ladies and Gentlemen, listen to the many faces of Mr. Spike Rebel. Genius on a roll...bigtime!  

For years Spike's presence amongst several hundred artists from Chicago, New York and Houston has put a buzz on the street that's well deserved.  

Bittersweet Records is anticipating a lot more buzz too! There's a lot of people out there beginning to realize how much Spike's vibe has contributed to their lives. Soooo...welcome to a new era of music dawning from the Midwest Coast.  

Here's a quote snippet from NBC Chicago's Street Team written by Theresa Carter:  

“Spike Rebel is a neo-classic soul artist and musician who brings us fresh sounds, honest vocals and an undeniable sincerity. What is so striking about his music is the realness. There is no glitter, no false packaging, and no complex, overblown production.”  

“Maybe it is because artist and producer Spike Rebel, aka Carnell Condon Newbill, Jr. is a musician and vocalist first. For too long now we have been subject to over-produced tracks and albums that sound great but lack the warmth and intimacy that seems to have been left behind as recording technology grew. Sometimes the Soul gets overlooked.”  

“Listening to Spike Rebel's music and you will feel his presence. It is almost as if you are in an intimate jazz club, the kind where the artist perfoerms sitting on a stool on a stage that is just inches off the floor and only a few feet from your table. You get the feeling that Spike Rebel is singing for you, never at you. His music has a very personal feel. Nice!”  

“Spike rebel's voice and songs are the purest reflections of emotion today. Recognized as one of the best producer/artists internationally, Spike Rebel is at the forefront of the new music revolution.”
