{"product_id":"andy-mineo-heroes-for-sale","title":"Heroes For Sale CD","description":"Heroes for Sale reverberates with bold messages and infectious beats, yet in an unusual move, the album opens with the classic hymn \u003ci\u003eI Will Rise and Go to Jesus.   \"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eI loved it so much that I decided to sample it and use it to open up the album,\"\u003c\/i\u003e Mineo says.  \"\u003ci\u003eSo my album opens with a traditional hymn, which is very rare for a hip hop album, but I think that opening hymn embodies everything that I wanted to say on this project: ‘I will rise and come to Jesus, I'm broken, sick, wounded. All I need is grace.' Those are the kinds of lyrics you'll hear on that opening hymn and I think it's a perfect set-up for the rest of the album.\"  \u003c\/i\u003e The ethereal sounds of the hymn give way to \u003ci\u003eSuperhuman.  \"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnytime someone gets a microphone we exalt the person speaking and often times we look at them as some kind of super human,\"\u003c\/i\u003e Mineo says.  \"\u003ci\u003eWe look at pastors that way. We look at basketball players that way, anyone who has a platform. So on the first song of the album I reveal a whole bunch of my struggles. I say, ‘Hey, listen, though I have a microphone and though I might be exalted in some platforms, I'm not a super human.  I'm just a fallen, broken person who needs grace.' We put on these masks and I really wanted to tear some of those down and create some vulnerability on this project. That's a lot of what that song is about, just saying I'm not that great, but my God is.\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003ci\u003eThe Saints\u003c\/i\u003e is a party anthem that samples the old classic \u003ci\u003eWhen the Saints Go Marching In.  \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eI was backstage with Trip Lee and KB and I was working on my album and I said, ‘Hey I want you guys to get on this song,'\u003c\/i\u003e Mineo recalls of enlisting his two pals for the horn-laced production. \u003ci\u003eThe song is all about what the world should look like when the saints are there.\u003c\/i\u003e  The first single, \u003ci\u003eAYO,\u003c\/i\u003e is a potent number that showcases Mineo's in-your-face skills.  \"\u003ci\u003eIt's an anthem, a fun party song. It has a big memorable chorus,\" \u003c\/i\u003e he says.   \"\u003ci\u003eIt's really just a call to say, \u003ci\u003eAYO!\u003c\/i\u003e  We're enjoying our lives. We're enjoying our freedoms.' We're inviting people to come and see what this is all about. This life in Christ! It's a feel good song that a lot of people can enjoy and it's an open invitation for people to check us out.\"  - reachrecords\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: April 16, 2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Reach Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 829569826926\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Andy Mineo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772482945,"sku":"Andy Mineo (2)","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Andy_Mineo_Heroes_For_Sale_CD.jpg?v=1751890972","url":"https:\/\/colliderecords.live\/products\/andy-mineo-heroes-for-sale","provider":"Collide Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
