New Music Video From Cyndi Thomson - "Five More Minutes"

After Long Hiatus From Recorded Music, Cyndi Thomson Releases New Acoustic EP

Artist: Cyndi Thomson
Album: My World: The Acoustic Sessions
Label: Solitaire
Release date: Sept. 25, 2015

Thomson's debut, My World, appeared in July 2001, and the album went gold behind the number one single "What I Really Meant to Say." However, in October 2002, Thomson announced that she was quitting the entertainment business. In a statement, Thomson cited overwhelming personal demands as reason for her departure. "The next step in my career would be to make a new album...with the many obligations that go along with it," she said. "I have now realized that I cannot commit to those obligations." Industry reaction was mixed. Capitol Nashville chief Mike Dungan said he "cried several times" when Thomson told him she was quitting, but he was also matter-of-fact, remarking "[she] was a big part of my business plan."

While she didn't want the life of our touring artist, she did stay connected with music. She co-wrote "Life Ain't Always Beautiful", a song that would became a top five hit for Gary Allan in 2006. That year, she also returned to Capitol Nashville after leaving the label for four years and started recording for her second album with James. An album never was released, however. In 2009, Thomson released her first new music album in eight years, This Time, a digital-only EP featuring five original songs.

This new EP is a collection of acoustic and stripped-down versions of that first album's most popular and enduring songs.

My World: The Acoustic Sessions Track Listing:

1. If You Were Mine
2. I Always Liked That Best
3. What I Really Meant to Say


 

Cyndi Thomson Is Back With New Music

Cyndi Thomson, whose 2001 gold-certified album My World spawned three charted hits, including the smash "What I Really Meant To Say," is releasing just her second full album this year. 12 years have gone by since the early success of her first album, followed shortly by her quitting of the music business.

In late 2002, Thomson, in a letter written to her record label, fans and friends, announced that she was walking away from her recording career. Thomson, who married musician and producer Daniel Goodman earlier that year, stated that being a recording artist was an "overwhelming life changing experience" and that she "cannot commit to obligations" of making a new album

Last summer, Cyndi inked a deal with Ramblin' Music's  publishing division, Young Guns.

“Having written and worked with Cyndi in the past I can honestly say she is one of the most unique and talented artists I’ve ever met,” said Cliff Downs, President of Ramblin’ Music. “We are thrilled that she will be part of our staff and we look forward to the new music that she will be creating with us.”

Since that time, Cyndi began recording tracks for a full production studio release, slated for release later this year. The first new track from Cyndi's upcoming album is up for fans to listen to at her website HERE. Fans will have just one week to preview the song "So Glad You're Mine." Each week, she'll preview a new track.
