Armenian-American Tamar Kaprelian first dazzled listeners with her cover of OneRepublic's "Apologize". Listeners are now falling in love with her new album, Sinner or a Saint. The first single, "New Day", reflects how the rest of the album will be. Her first single has a very sensational and an inspiring tone. The music is not dull; instead it’s moving and exciting, which makes people want to listen to more.

Kaprelian began writing and composing piano accompaniments at 14. She was first discovered by a talent scout after she was seen performing with a school group at 15. She was then signed by a company but went off to college, at which point she stopped recording.

From wikipedia:
Joel Chandler Harris (December 9, 1845 – July 3, 1908) was an American journalist, fiction writer, and folklorist best known for his collection of Uncle Remus stories. Harris was born in Eatonton, Georgia, where he served as an apprentice on a plantation during his teenage years. He spent the majority of his adult life in Atlanta working as an associate editor at the Atlanta Constitution.

Harris led two significant professional lives. Editor and journalist Joe Harris ushered in the New South alongside Henry W. Grady, stressing regional and racial reconciliation during the Reconstruction era. Joel Chandler Harris, fiction writer and folklorist, recorded many Brer Rabbit stories from the African-American oral tradition and revolutionized children's literature in the process.
