Arlene Kole was a little girl who dreamed of nothing but singing, but life has a way of changing one’s path. The responsibilities of marriage and family came early for Arlene but she took it in stride, worked hard, and like most of us, put her aspirations aside while her family took precedence. Her mantra; One Day...It is her hope that her story will inspire others who have a dream on hold. Her unwaivering determination to complete a lifelong goal has been rewarded. At 48 years old, this wife, mother of three and now grandmother of three is releasing a magnificent piece of work while being the odds-on favorite to be totally overlooked. After years of wedded bliss…cooking, cleaning, changing diapers, session singing, waitressing, club dates, weddings, retail sales, vocal coaching, bar mitzvahs and any other paying gig, Arlene Kole felt her window of opportunity had closed. With the kids grown and mass media perpetuating the idea that there is value only in youth, Arlene, as most women eventually do, sought to reinvent herself ... to find a lost identity and write a new chapter in her life. This record is that chapter. It chronicles the life of a wife, parent, and the eventual plight of us all: growing older in a society that prizes youth. Most importantly, as the title implies, this artist sends an inspiring message of hope to those who have given up on their dreams, whatever the reason. The dedication on her record says it all: This music is dedicated to women everywhere. To wives, mothers and girls like me…those seeking to redefine themselves while being told that their best years are behind them. To all who have dreamed of one day… This is that day. This is one day. Early reviews by industry veterans have been stellar, the finely crafted songs, passionate performances and pristine production culminate in a masterful work, an incredible debut album by any standard.
