"It's all about what it means to be loved - like truly, deeply loved for who you really are - not just how you look or what you do." (Edei on "Loved")
Mixed by Tony Maserati, whose previous credits include Beyonce's "Crazy In Love" and countless Black Eyed Peas hits and featuring Mary J Blige's backing singers and the brass section from Alicia Keys' band, Edei's new single "Loved" is a heartfelt slice of New York soul that mixes Motown influences with addictive melody and given a modern twist.

Edei has also been chosen to support JLS on the first half of their sprawling 30-date UK arena tour this winter, which is sure to see her profile and fanbase continue to grow apace and show her doing what she does best. After witnessing Edei live this summer, influential magazine RWD stated: "If you're a fan of great songs and an incredible voice, we think you might like Edei as much as we do."
It was an introduction to the team who discovered, developed and signed Joss Stone that helped hone Edei's musical direction and she has spent much of the last two years developing her musical style and performance skills, gigging and recording her debut album 'Inside Information', due for release in early 2011. The album encapsulates Edei's sound as one that is classic and sophisticated yet contemporary and fresh.
The single and album are produced by Edei's female collaborator - Boston born, Dublin based producer Misreid, and co written by Edei, Misreid and lauded singer songwriter Conner Reeves (whose writing credits include songs for Joss Stone, Ava Leigh, and Tina Turner).
The single is backed by remixes from Kardinal Beats, Sed Soul and Moto Blanco.
