Experience ‘Re-Birth’ in French by Beth Gladen
It’s always inspiring to see talented female musicians making waves, and Beth Gladen is no exception. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, and now based in Miami, Florida, Beth Gladen is a recording artist, audio engineer, and producer shaping unique musical landscapes at her Miami studio, Sweet Spot Recording.
Beth’s latest creation, “Re-Birth”, is the result of an artistic synergy with top-line artist and session vocalist Jessica Gelinas from Los Angeles, California. Together, they have crafted an abstract yet immersive musical experience that guides listeners through a deeply emotional journey. Now, this song is available in a beautifully adapted French version, bringing its message of transformation to an even wider audience.
“Re-Birth” is a powerful exploration of transformation. Beth lays the foundation for this evolution—capturing the emotions of transitional change, from the intense labor pains of struggle to surrender, then hope, and finally, peaceful resolve. Jessica’s precise vocal delivery of milestone lyrics intensifies each moment of musical escalation, reinforcing both artists’ interpretations of personal metamorphosis.
Like any great work of art, “Re-Birth” invites listeners to connect with their own experiences. Whether you are navigating change, seeking renewal, or simply in search of a moving piece of music, Beth Gladen’s latest release is sure to resonate.
Now available in French, this version allows even more listeners to immerse themselves in the song’s evocative storytelling and masterful production. “Re-Birth” is an invitation to embrace transformation through sound—no matter the language.

While more of a behind-the-scenes player DJ Design’s (aka Keith Griego) work has had a sizable imprint on the history of modern hip-hop. As a DJ/Beatmaker and visual artist he has contributed production and art since the late 90’s for notables including The Beastie Boys, Madlib, A.G., Foreign Legion, Rasco, Peanut Butter Wolf and Phat Kat.
As a visual artist, his high point of work with the label was his design of the 12” vinyl cover for Lootpack member Madlib’s side project Quasimoto. The cover for “Microphone Mathematics” featured Design/Griego’s visual representation of Lord Quas as a sort of alien aardvark, which was adopted by the artist and has since become one of the most iconic and enduring
characters in the game today.
