TORONTO-After stepping out of the musical spotlight for five years, multi-Juno award winning artist, Liberty Silver is back stronger than ever before. With a new album releasing on November 20th, 2010, called Groove Symphony, and with the launch of her current jewelery line, Liberty Silver is ready to take the Canadian entertainment scene once gain in full force.

Groove Symphony showcases Liberty Silver’s new sound and takes listeners through a symphony of emotions, spirituality and life lessons. After writing and co-producing the songs on the album, Liberty Silver’s music is described as a marriage of the best old and new school rhythm and blues, with some jazzy soul and power ballads. Liberty’s inspirations for the album revolve around the life lessons and the ups-and-downs we face in life.

In addition to her long awaited new album, Liberty Silver has recently introduced her jewelery collection to Canada. Liberty launched a unique line called the Liberty Silver Jewelery Collection, in collaboration with admired International designer, June Howe. Each piece is handcrafted in Australia, with high-quality semi-precious stones that have healing and calming effects, using Swarovski crystals and sterling silver.

The inspiration behind the jewelery line and its design comes from Liberty’s music and her love of nature. Some of the collections in the line are named after the songs in her new album, in which she describes as molding the two beautiful things she loves doing in life.

That same year she was nominated for Most Promising Female Vocalist and collaborated on a jazz album nominated for a Juno Award, making history as the only multiple Juno Award Winner and nominee besides fellow Canadian musician, Bryan Adams.
