"Transport Systems"

Ari Gold

The new album by singer songwriter Ari Gold "Transport Systems" is a themed album about moving forward, but even more "Transport Systems" is about the music and how music is an excellent platform in which to create an environment to move forward, not just in our personal lives but as a people. Among the fast paced dance tunes of social commentary on addiction, relationships, and gender identity are some beautiful love songs rendered by Ari in his exquisite tenor voice and a few falsetto phrases.

"Transport Systems" is the fourth studio album by the New York City native. Ari has spent most of his life in front of a camera or behind a microphone. After being "discovered" while singing at his oldest brother's Bar Mitzvah, five year old Ari Gold became the child actor seen is many television commercials. Between the age of five and 14 Ari Gold appeared in over 400 ad spots; as well as, be the voice for various animated children's programs including Jem and the Cabbage Patch Kids.

Air began writing songs at age 14 and collected a BA from New York University along the way. But for the past five years independent artist Ari Gold has let his music guide his career. The first single - like many of the songs on the album - "Where the Music Takes You" is an autobiographical account of how Ari, his life, and his career have gone.

Ari's third album "Space Under Sun" was a reference to each person finding his space on the earth. With the new album "Transport Systems" now that we have found our space, it is time to move forward.

Beyond the topics on each song is the music behind those songs and Ari Gold has shown his abilities to grow, progress, and move forward. For those who listen to the whole album a surprise awaits at the end - multi Grammy winning saxophone player Dave Koz lends his talents to the beautifully penned "Love Wasn't Built in a Day". For Ari, having Dave Koz appear on this wonderful piece of music was icing on the cake.
