Thanks to a new music album collaboration with Jimmy D Robinson's Mind Juice Records, A Flock of Seagulls, the Grammy-winning new wave group that sky-rocketed to infamy with the '80s mega-hit "I Ran (So Far Away)," may finally be able to stop running and catch a breath! Lake Worth, Florida-based songwriter and prolific poet Jimmy D Robinson has curated an upcoming chill-out lounge and deep house album titled "Living in Time" starring A Flock of Seagulls. The new collection of down-tempo songs will mark the ever-popular group's 35-year anniversary in the music business. "Ageless Prince," the lead single, will be released this coming fall, accompanied by superb dance remixes for promotion in the U.S. and Europe.

"Once we start messing around with one of Jimmy's poems, we manage to work everyone's talented personalities into a jigsaw puzzle," says Mike Score, lead singer of A Flock of Seagulls. "The finished song really makes a picture of all of us in this collaboration. The music has a great lift with a relaxed feel. 'Living in Time' is quite beautiful!"

The "Living in Time" album will feature Robinson's published poetic works merged with an intricate weaving of musical talents between A Flock of Seagulls and internationally-acclaimed producers Josh Harris and FC Nond. It is with meticulous curation that Robinson sets every lavish production ablaze within the creative hub at Mind Juice Records. The end result of this experimental chillout lounge creative process is rhythmic mind and soul sustenance for listeners.

"I have to pinch myself when I hear Mike Score, singing my words to such colorful melodies and fantastic production," states Robinson. "Mike is a musical genius. It is an extraordinary experience putting this whole project together with such a renowned and significant band along with the persuasive and meticulous production of Josh Harris and the captivating rhythms of FC Nond."

Mind Juice Records is also releasing two brand new Robinson dance poetry music projects this year with diva songstress Carol Jiani. The first single is "Heaven Earth Man," featuring a remarkable production from Mauro Mozart and the second track will be the awe-inspiring belter "I Got This Feeling" produced by Moto Blanco.

There is a full interview with Robinson and Score out this month in Hollywood Weekly Magazine about Jimmy D Robinson's Mind Juice Records' collaboration with A Flock of Seagulls. To read the article, please visit: Hollywood Weekly Magazine Cover Story.
