PORTLAND, Ore. - eMusicWire -- Original 8 (OG8) announces the release of their second single, "Change," on June 21. The rock anthem's focus is about facing the unknown and taking that leap of faith in order to make a "Change" for the better.

The song is from their forthcoming self-titled album "Original 8" and is available on all digital platforms, along with their first single "Dreamer." The singles and album are produced by the Portland, Oregon based record label and publishing company Beat Farm Music.

"Change" was written by Troy Williver and Jaime Lynch. Williver is OG8's and Beat Farm Music's founder. Lynch is a multi-award winning Las Vegas based performer and the band's lead singer. This album marks her debut as a songwriter.

OG8's band members are Phil Baker on bass, George Mitchell on keyboards and Michael Underwood on drums and percussion, with sax player Renato Caranto. All of whom have lengthy track records with famous recording and tour acts.
