Emanuel is ready to Live Up with his new release. He has constructed sixteen fine songs and two meditations (also known as instrumentals or versions) that give the listener a varied palette of musical colors. Emanuel's unique brand of music is fueled by melodic vocals, inspiring messages, lyrically compelling songs, originality and a understanding of human nature. If it is reggae, soul, roots, pop, or all of the above, Emanuel uses his voice to mold and shape every song around the instruments with a perfection rarely found in today's endless void of watered down main stream hits. LIVE UP is compiled, designed and produced by Emanuel. This album is rightfully named and inspires the listening audience to live up and enjoy their lives regardless. Although growing up and not having, Emanuel always believe that if you strive and believe in yourself, you can accomplish anything. "Life is For Living and Living is For Life"- Emanuel.
