On August 27th 2013 Staten Island co-ed duo Paulie “D” Cigliano and Debra Torres aka Dare 2B Dif’rnt release their follow up to the critically acclaimed “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” entitled “Stand Up For Your Love Rights.”

Penned in 1988 by Yasmin Evans of Yazz & The Plastic Population, this tune originally released as an anthem against domestic abuse takes on a whole new meaning in this climate around the battle for marriage equality. Paulie D. says “It’s easy to see the title and listen to the lyrics and equate the tune with the struggle for marriage equality, which of course Debra & I completely support. However, the song stands for more than that as a lot of people gay and straight struggle to find happiness and peace in relationships. The real message is that everyone deserves to love and be loved and not be judged. Whether it be a relationship of mixed race or religion as well as same sex relationships, it is up to all of us to make our own happiness and if need be to stand up for it!” Debra adds, “We have been performing this tune at Pride events for the last few years and in that time things have come a long way but not far enough. As long as people are being judged for who and how they love, this song will be relevant and we are proud to sing such empowering lyrics and hope people everywhere will find strength in these words and stand up for love!”

The first set of mixes feature stellar versions from Georgie Porgie (Chicago) and Funk3d (Great Britain), next up are the original production from Giuseppe D. (long time Dare 2B Dif’rnt producer) and San Antonio’s Klubjumpers.

Look for Dare 2B Dif’rnt to go out in support of “Stand Up For Your Love Rights” this fall.

“Stand Up For Your Love Rights” is available on Sirenia Records distributed by the Music Plant Group on iTunes, Beatport, Traxsource and Music Plant Records.com.
