NASHVILLE, Tenn. (February 7, 2013) - Sony Creative Software has launched an official remix contest featuring "Love Won't Leave Me Alone," the current single release from Grammy and Dove Award winner John Schlitt's The Greater Cause CD. Fans of music remixes are encouraged to embellish the song using Sony's ACIDxpress software or any other software and sounds and samples from the Sony Loop Library. All entries are due by February 28.

Schlitt is excited that the song, which was written by the CD's producer Dan Needham, along with Dove Award winner and 2008 BMI Songwriter of the Year Ed Cash, was chosen by Sony executives to be part of the competition.

"This kind of opportunity is hard to come by and I praise God for it," Schlitt says. "I feel very honored that Sony has chosen to feature my song."

Prizes for the remix contest include Acid Pro 7 software, SpectraLayers Pro software, five Standard Collection Loop libraries and John Schlitt merchandise.

Schlitt kicks off 2013 with the new single after a busy 2012. During the past year, Schlitt released his fourth solo CD, The Greater Cause; toured extensively throughout the world; performed at the Faith and Freedom Celebration, the faith-based kick-off to the Republican National Convention; and made a host of national media appearances, including CBN's 700 Club Interactive and The Mike Huckabee Show, where the singer/songwriter appeared at the invitation of the former Arkansas governor, who endorsed Schlitt and his music to his nationwide audience. The new year, Schlitt says, promises to keep the momentum building. "Last year was a busy year and 2013 will be busier as we continue working The Greater Cause record," Schlitt says. "Plans also are underway for more new music."
