"Where Is Your Heart?

" from Award-Winning Album "Pop" Released by

NYC-Based Young Pals Music

Moody anthem helmed by Producer & Songwriter Ayhan Sahin explores

those moments when inner darkness finds a pathway to light.

New York, NY, June 02, 2017 --(PR.com)-- There are times when life events prompt us to hide behind
inner walls, and then, methodically, to break out of loneliness, darkness and anxiety. That
journey—and its ultimate redemption—personify the sonic triptych of Where Is Your
Heart?

Co-written and co-produced by award-winning Ayhan Sahin with hit songwriter Bernadette O'Reilly and
released by New York City-based Young Pals Music, Where Is Your Heart? is the unprecedented
eighth single from the album, Pop.

As the song explores that internal pilgrimage to find strength on the other side, its gently cascading
melody, acoustic guitars, plucky piano and rat-a-tat percussion boost the track with an inherent spirit of
optimism that helps propel its missive of recovery.

In the lead vocal from Sahin, he sings, When night goes never-ending, when winter is your heaven, why
is this the story of my life?/Where is your heart, Where is your soul, Who reaches out there when you
fall?/Never say never when you're down.

Where Is Your Heart was recorded live with renowned New York musicians Tom Gallaher on piano,
Rob Preuss on keyboards, drummer Mike Sorrentino, and bassist Carras Paton, with background vocals
from Jerri Bocchino & Keith Fluitt. It was mixed by Sahin and mastered by Greg Calbi of Sterling Sound.

This single is particularly close to my heart and to Bernadette's, reflecting on a very real struggle that a
dear friend endured, Sahin says. The happy ending is that through such sadness she found strength she
never knew she had.

The album project, meanwhile, took three years of planning to find the right vocalists to go with the
songs. We've been really fortunate to gather so much talent, he adds. It's been so gratifying—and
a lot of fun—to release each single and watch them find their audience in diverse and often
unexpected ways.

Indeed, Pop is the album that keeps on giving. Where Is Your Heart? follows last winter's single
Hard Times, sung by multi-platinum recording artist and American Music Award Winner Randy Jones,
who is beloved as The Village People's iconic cowboy.

The single before that, Another Bad Mistake, features lead vocals from beloved disco act Anita Ward,
renowned for her seminal No. 1 Ring My Bell, which hit the top of the Billboard Hot 100, Disco, and
Soul Singles charts in 1979.
