Atlantic recording artist Serena Ryder will be joining Howie Day on tour this month following a stunning chart entrance with her full-length label debut, "is it o.k.". Released on November 3rd 2009, the acclaimed album premiered at #1 on Billboard's "Heatseekers Albums" chart, marking the week's top-selling album by a new or developing artist.
"is it o.k.," has already received gold certification from the CRIA (Canadian Recording Industry Association) in Ryder's native Canada, where it has earned reams of critical acclaim as well as the 2009 Juno Award for "Adult Alternative Album of the Year." In the U.S., "Little Bit of Red" proved a Top 10 sensation at Triple A radio earlier this year.
The track's popularity placed Ryder alongside Grammy Award-nominees Adele and Duffy as one of only three female artists to chart Top 10 at the format in the past year. "All For Love," the latest single from "is it o.k.," was recently shipped to Hot AC radio outlets nationwide. The track's companion video premiered at the end of last year as part of MySpace Music's new "Introducing
" program.
Produced by Grammy Award-winner John Alagia (Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band), "is it o.k." has earned vociferous critical acclaim from all corners.
