Composer David Smith releases dance single 'Sensation'


The composer and producer of digital dance music known as David Smith has released his debut single, “Sensation.” The track represents Smith's electronica masterpiece for the start of the 2015 year and showcases him as one of Europe's most promising up-and-coming digital musicians by a long stretch. With an extremely strong repertoire available for listening at his official website and his debut single, “Sensation” available for purchase and download around the world, things are sure looking up for this surprise EDM genius from the Kingdom of Belgium.

David Smith (who has an English name but natively speaks French) cites as main artistic influences many of heroes of the DJ subculture, including David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Avicii, and Martin Garrix.

Smith writes about his start in music, “I like the styles of David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix and others like them. And one day, I said to myself: 'I can make good tracks like theirs!' and for one year I made an album in my little home studio.”

It was a humble beginning, but clearly the start of something more than a simple hobby. The music fan's first listen of “Sensation” is not likely to be his last. In fact, the second and third listen are probably to follow immediately afterward. From here, curiosity leads the listener to Smith's other tracks, of which there are already enough to fill an LP record. But the artist is taking it slow.

“Step by step…” Smith writes. “I'm starting with my first single. I have to get credibility and make my name known before launching my first album. I have to finalize some tracks with good singers and lyricists. Even if it's my first album, I want a perfect one.”

This perfectionist's attitude shines through in his debut single, “Sensation.” Its production is sparkling clean, its composition naturally consistent and with an upbeat, intuitive flow. Its hooks are unshakable and its four-and-a-half minutes go by in a flash. The 'replay' button beckons.

“I hope my singles and my future debut album will give good 'sensations' to listeners, as well as good beats at events and nightclubs all over the world,” writes David Smith of his new song's overall theme. “I hope people who hear it will say, 'Damn, that sounds good!'”

Smith goes on to describe the emotional effects he crafts his music to inspire.

“Just pump up the volume and let the beat overwhelm you,” he writes. “One day, I'd like to see thousands of dancers overwhelmed. It's my dream, and I think that with a lot of work all dreams could come true when we really want them.”

His message to the world is simple.

“Nothing ventured, nothing gained! Look at me, I'm starting from nowhere but here I am.”

“Sensation” by David Smith is available online worldwide. Fans of EDM and electronica should definitely get in early. Very early.

(David Smith is looking for singers and lyricists with whom to collaborate. If you think you'd be a good voice for one or some of his songs, please send him email at his official website using the link provided below.)

Pierre, Kika and Tons release new single 'Cirkus'


The trio of DJs from Venezuela known as Pierre, Kika and Tons have released their capital new single, “Cirkus.” The track has been proudly released on the Estereo Records independent music label. Vivacious, spirited, and exploding with life, “Cirkus” is one of the most striking digital dance singles to arrive from South America in years.

Pierre, Kika and Tons are based in the Caribbean city of Caracas, each having his and her own solo career as a DJ and composer of digital music, respectively, though Pierre and Tons have a two-year history as collaborators. The trio celebrated their “Cirkus” single with an eponymous tour which has been highly publicized and received with great enthusiasm by fans in their home nation of Venezuela as well as by new fans in the United States.

Their tour included dates at Caracas' famous Hacienda El Arroyo and cities including Valencia, Barquisimeto, Maracaibo, Merida, San Cristobal, Puerto Ordaz and Puerto la Cruz. Their tour also took them across the Caribbean Sea to Miami, FL, where PoshPanel.com called the show “an exceptional night as DJs Pierre, Tons, and Kika took control of the decks and sparked the cloud for a night to remember.”

El Farandi writes of the trio in Música:

Three talents represented by Blackpin Prods., CA they have different approaches in how to make good music, reflecting perfect harmony with 'Cirkus' to convey feelings and intense emotions with a theme focused on the electro progressive sound. This is possible thanks to the contributions and differentiators that characterize them.

Kika is a young leader of the electronic music scene within the women's movement. She has been onstage with Jacob van Hage, Beyoncé, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Wolfpack, Nicky Romero, and performed recently at Paradise 507's Music Fest, Panama.

Pierre and Tons, meanwhile, have approximately two years DJing as a duo and bring distinct styles and personalities to the turntables, different from one another, but perfectly complementary. All three have a great reputation in the industry, to the point of being invited to participate in all the recent mass events of international DJs in Venezuela.” - El Farandi

Between them, Pierre, Kika and Tons have approximately 30,000 followers on their official Soundcloud pages, and very nearly the same amount on their official Facebook sites, as well. Collectively they have performed with such names as Nicky Romero, Borgore, Loco Dice, Marco Carola, Adrian Luz and Nadastrom, Steve Aoki, and Adrian Lux.Cirkus” by Pierre, Kika and Tons is available online worldwide.

E3 releases new LP 'One Soul [Deluxe Edition]'


The singer and songwriter of contemporary rhythm and blues known as E3 has re-released his debut solo LP record, “One Soul [Deluxe Edition].” Ellis “E3” Hall III is the son of Ellis Hall Jr., singer of Tower of Power in the 1980s, whose solo music has been honored and enjoyed by such names as Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles, as well as by magnates like Jackie Onassis and Bill Clinton. This deluxe re-release of E3's debut LP features bonus tracks and instrumentals not available in the original edition, and has been proudly published on the E3 Publishing Co. independent record label. Crisp, slick, packed with groove and graced by crystal-smooth harmonies, “One Soul” by E3 is easily the most arresting R&B and rap crossover record to be released in years.

E3 cites as main artistic influences such legends as his father, Ellis Hall Jr., James Brown, Sting, Anita Baker, Stevie Wonder, D'Angelo, Timbaland, Earth, Wind & Fire, James Taylor, and Bob Marley. Of these, his own style has most in common with the mood and tone of Stevie Wonder, as well as those of his father, though E3's music is more contemporary in terms of instrumentation than either. In terms of his popular natural singing voice, E3 is reminiscent of soul artist Donny Hathaway, whom E3 has named as his chief inspiration as a singer.

In addition to the considerable talents of E3, himself, his “One Soul” LP also features vocals by New York's Shae Fiol, Boston rapper D Brown, Canada's “Ambassador of Rap” Kardinal Offishall, and ex-Def Jam rapper, Redman. As might be intuited from these names, the rhythm-and-blues portions of “One Soul” are interspersed with heavy-hitting sections of rap music.

E3 has worked with the likes of MC Lyte, Method Man, Saukrates, Termanology, Micheal Whalen, and Choclair. His music has been played on Flow 93.5 FM Toronto, MTV, VH1, Much Music, BET, and more. He is a member of Gilla House Records, an independent music movement captained by Reggie “Redman” Noble. His discography includes Dreamworks' “Biker Boyz Motion Picture Soundtrack,” Method Man's “Tical 0: The Prequel” on Def Jam, Redman's “Red Gone Wild” also on Def Jam, Michael Whalen's “Mysterious Ways,” and the PBS basketball documentary, “This Is A Game, Ladies.”

Originally recorded between 2002-'07 in Boston, Toronto, and Los Angeles, the “One Soul [Deluxe Edition]” by E3 features selections converted to 5.1 Surround Sound, for which the album won the award for Best Standard Resolution Title at the 2005 Surround Sound Music Awards.

“One Soul [Deluxe Edition]” by E3 is available from E3 Publishing Co. online worldwide. Fans of excellent R&B and rap music should get in early.

Singer Debbie Kuks releases debut gospel EP 'Jesus!'


The singer and worshipper known as Debbie Kuks is releasing her debut EP album, simply titled, “Jesus!” The EP is being proudly published as an independent release without the involvement of the corporate music industry. “Jesus!” is expected to officially drop at online music stores around the world during the first week of March, 2015. Inspirational, spiritually uplifting, and grounded in the message of the Christian Bible, “Jesus!” is truly a gospel record for the new millennium.

Terrestrially speaking, minister and gospel lyricist Debbie Kuks cites as main artistic influences Darlene Zschech, Juanita Bynum, Israel Houghton, David and Nicole Binion, Shekinah Glory Ministries, Jesus Culture, and Hillsong. However, on being asked about her creative process, Kuks emphasizes that these musicians are not necessarily her most direct source of musical intuition.

“I write my songs through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit,” she writes. “Heaven is full of songs that have never been heard before. Why not enter God’s presence to find them?”

Speaking of the themes of her new EP, Kuks makes a brief list: “Jesus' love, His resurrection power, and His Annointing that breaks and destroys the yoke.”

But her “Jesus!” record is not only an album of worship and praise. It's also a “Prayer for a dying nation and world,” writes the singer.

Debbie Kuks official Facebook page describes her mission as one of servility.

“I pray daily for the spirit of humility,” it reads. “I want to serve God until I take my last breath on earth. Heaven is my ultimate goal and I'm daily fighting hell to get there.”

Debbie Kuks has been singing since the age of five. She has performed with such gospel legends as Donnie McClurkin, and Ron Kenoly, as well as others. She has been featured on various radio programs including New York's inspirational radio station, FM 107.9, and the Christian Author Show, to which she was invited to speak about her popular book, The Father's Heart.

Debbie Kuks is the Founder/CEO and business visionary for Debbie Kuks World, Inc., Debbie Kuks Words, and DebbieKuks Music.

The “Jesus!” EP by Debbie Kuks is available online worldwide beginning the first week of March, 2015.

Yevgeny Lazarev (AKA Y.L.) releases debut single 'Trancelude № 1 AKA Fly Free'


Composer and producer of digital music Yevgeny Lazarev (AKA Y.L., and TBoneMendez on Beatport) has released his debut single, “Trancelude № 1 AKA Fly Free.” The electronic dance song has been proudly published on the Aethereal Tracks independent music label entirely without aid from the corporate music industry. Upbeat, futuristic and booming with drum 'n' bass, “Trancelude № 1” by Y.L. is an EDM single which DJs and dancers alike are sure to appreciate all over the world.

Y.L. does not cite any specific influences when he is asked to describe his musical tastes, instead stating flatly, “Everything under the sun, lol.”

This makes sense when one listens closely to “Trancelude № 1.” It bears elements of many various music genres, though naturally its foundation is in the same roots which began what the music industry at large has simply come to call 'EDM.' Amazon has filed Y.L.'s debut single under trance music, which “Trancelude” certainly is, as well as under electronica.

Y.L. didn't start in digital music, however, which may partially account for the wide variety of sounds in “Trancelude № 1.” Rather, the composer started his career in music by playing violin – at the tender age of six.

Asked to discuss any possible theme or message his song might have in store for listeners, Y.L. writes that he wrote the song to communicate and nurture “enlightenment through music.”

Y.L. studied strings (violin and classical guitar) at Sydney's Conservatorium High School. From there he continued his studies at the Institute of Music in jazz guitar improvisation, but grew interested in hi-NRG and trance music while working nights at a popular club. This led to him leaving off playing music for more than a decade, until he started learning to DJ while managing a nightclub in 2010. By the start of 2014 Y.L. had taken up music production and found himself quite capable. “Trancelude № 1” is his first song to be made commercially available.

“Trancelude № 1 AKA Fly Free” by Y.L. is available online worldwide.

Chris Michael Taylor releases rock single 'Dead Man Walkin''


The singer and songwriter of rock music known as Chris Michael Taylor has released his capital new single track, “Dead Man Walkin'.” The track is the first official single to be debuted from his upcoming freshman LP album. Impeccably, sonorously sung and featuring evocative songwriting and razor-sharp guitar work, “Dead Man Walkin'” by Chris Michael Taylor is a return to everything that was good about rock music in the early '80s that bears none of what was bad.

Taylor's upcoming album, the release date and title of which have yet to be announced, has been rumored to be a collection of rock songs largely written by Taylor and performed by him on acoustic guitar. This represents a rare style of rock music played acoustically which has characterized the artist's sound since he appeared on the national radar in 2013.

Chris Michael Taylor cites as main music influences Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, George Lynch (Dokken) and Jake E. Lee (Ozzy Osbourne). Of these, the first two share the most similarities with Taylor's writing and singing styles, whereas his guitar chops are sharper and edgier in the tradition of guitarists with heavier styles such as Lynch's and Lee's.

However, Taylor's “Dead Man Walkin'” isn't just a rock song. If it were, choosing a strictly acoustic sound for the track might seem dubious. Enough elements of pop shine through his rock overtones to carry the song above traditional rock music into a new realm of rock-based pop, though, and these pop attributes make Taylor's singer-songwriter method work wonderfully. The pop fringe with which Taylor has gilt his latest single (and presumably his upcoming record) is informed by his penchant for musicians like Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars.

North Carolina's Chris Michael Taylor developed an obsession with music at the age of five by discovering an album by Eddie Van Halen. Now seeing his solo career truly begin to boom at the start of 2015, Taylor is also the lead guitarist in the up-and-coming country/rock band Early Ray, lead guitarist with Vinnie and Carmine Appice in Drum Wars, and lead guitarist in the classic-rock tribute band, Sunset Strip. Taylor has performed live at venues across America and has shared the stage with such legends as Elliot Rubinson, Rudy Sarzo, Kip Winger, Michael Sweet and Tommy DeCarlo, among others.

“Dead Man Walkin'” by Chris Michael Taylor is available online worldwide. Rock fans shouldn't miss it.

DJ Mr. President releases new single 'Free'


The composer and producer of digital music known as DJ Mr. President has released his latest electronic dance single, “Free.” The single has been proudly published on the We Boom Bap independent music label, entirely without adulteration from the corporate music power structure. Pure, stylish, and full of rhythm and futuristic groove, “Free” from DJ Mr. President is an electronica dance single DJs at every club and dance party will want to incorporate into their standard play lists.

DJ Mr. President's single, “Free” has been variously tagged at online music stores as electronic dance music, pop music and dance-pop music. While this seems to emphasize a theme that is heavy on the nightclub sound, DJ Mr. President's cited influences include elements of many subgenres which will appeal to fans of other kinds of music, including house, hip hop, Latin, and reggae to name a few.

Speaking of the themes of his latest track, DJ Mr. President writes, “The single 'Free' refers to a time in all of our lives where we can reflect on being carefree and living life to the fullest. The song sends the message of that carefree feeling still residing in all of us. Let go, listen, dance and be Free.”

Bronx, NYC native DJ Mr. President has been making music and performing live since the early 1980s, during which he was renowned as DJ Baby Fresh, one of the borough's premier hip-hop performers. He performed with local rap crew, Full Strength Force, with whom he cut his teeth as a mixmaster and MC. With FSF he played live at venues such as the Savoy Manor, La Mirage, Lamour East, Passions, and Club Magique. He shared the stage with legendary names like Nayobe, Monet, Lisa Lisa, T La Rock, Fascination, Spinderella, DJ Kid Capri, Trilogy, Judy Torres, the Village People, and still others. Still more, DJ Mr. President worked with video show titans such as Carlos de Jesus (WTKU DJ and host of ABC's “New York Hot Tracks”) VJ “Uncle” Ralph McDaniels (“Video Music Box”) and radio superstar, DJ Red Alert.

Since beginning La Familia Ent. with longtime friend and collaborator Manny D “Da Nemesis” in 2000, DJ Mr. President has appeared live at hot spots in Virginia, North Carolina, and the Tri-State Area. He has worked and/or performed with names like Jim Jones, DJ Prostyle (BET), Famlay (Pharrell's Startrak Camp), Boriqua Jimmy, Too Tight Productions/Street Ratt Promotions, DJ Kings, DJ Mad, DJ Escobar, Alex Sensation, DJ Richie (the Commissioners), Homeboy Sandman, the Legendary Dana Dane, the Wonder Twinz (official tour DJs of Naughty by Nature), DJ 2-Smooth, DJ Kast One (the Heavy Hitters), Clear Channel's 103 Jamz, Elephant Man, Consequence (featured on A Tribe Called Quest's 1996 Album “Beats, Rhymes and Life” and affiliated with Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music Imprint), and Craig G (the Juice Crew).

In 2009, DJ Mr. President helped break the Guinness Book's world record for longest running MC by keeping instrumentals and breakbeats going for rhyme sessions that lasted 26 and 27 hours respectively. Later the same year, DJ Mr. President performed for 24 consecutive hours in tribute to the passing of DJ Doc Raida, which tribute was streamed live online and viewed by thousands in the United States and around the world.

DJ Mr. President's current official bio closes by saying: “He continues to explore the art of DJing, music production, working the clubs and bringing music to the masses. In DJ Mr. President's own words, 'You're in good handz, baby!'”

“Free” by DJ Mr. President is available online worldwide.

ThaNovelist releases new single 'Call on Me'


The Brooklyn rapper and hip-hop producer known as ThaNovelist has released his latest single, “Call on Me.” The track is the most significant official release from ThaNovelist since his trio of videos published in September 2014 which included such popular productions as “Tupac Reincarnated,” “Sneaky,” and “Fast Lane.” A heavy-hitting urban anthem from the birthplace of hip hop, itself, “Call on Me” by ThaNovelist is a rap track by an old pro fans of any genre can get behind.

NYC's ThaNovelist cites as main artistic influences titans such as Tupac Shakur, the Notorious BIG, Drake, and Rich Homie Quan. While ThaNovelist has much in common with the styles of each of these, his own mode of rap exhibits more similarities with 'Pac than it does with the others, but most of all ThaNovelist is a rapper with a style all his own.

Speaking of his new single, “Call on Me,” ThaNovelist writes that “The message that this particular song sends is a message to our women in society. The message is that no matter how rough it gets, you can always call on me. 'Call on Me' speaks from the voice of so many of us good men who do exist.”

Largely a lone wolf in the hip-hop underground, ThaNovelist writes all his own music and chooses his collaborators carefully. This is unsurprising, considering his dark and gritty start in music.

“I started writing music while incarcerated, which was 15 years ago,” he writes. “Writing songs gave me hope while being surrounded by hopelessness.”

Born in August of 1982, ThaNovelist was only 17 when he went to prison.

“Writing music was my way to freedom,” he says. “It allowed me to express myself to the world. I remember being in solitary confinement for three years. In solitary I was confined to my cell four days a week for 24 hours a day. The other three days I was only allowed out of my cell for 15 minutes each day. After calculation, that's 45 minutes a week outside my cell for three whole years. So please believe, writing music for me was my freedom.”

Neither was this to be the last time music would lift ThaNovelist out of despair. Six months after being released from prison in 2008, ThaNovelist was shot five times with a Glock 9mm. He was hit twice in the stomach, twice in the leg and once in the hand.

He writes of this, “I remember recovering in the hospital, saying to myself 'it's time to be more serious with my God-given gift, which is creating music.'”

2012 saw him meeting with National Musick League / LasVegas Music Group producer T.Beatz. They would go on to create no fewer than three albums together. Since that time ThaNovelist has been performing from coast-to-coast, Georgia, South Carolina, New York, California, Las Vegas, Nevada and in other locales. Meanwhile ThaNovelist participates in youth events like Cambridge Saves the Youth by sharing to young persons his life experiences, hoping to redirect troubled teens to a better path in life.

“Call on Me” by ThaNovelist is available online worldwide. Rap fans should get in early before word gets out.

Abbi-K drops new 'Happily Ever After' official video


The island singer and songwriter known as Abbi-K has released her new official video, “Happily Ever After.” The video has been long awaited by fans of the musician since the release of her debut LP record, “HARD (Heaven's Advocates Riding Didactically)” hit online shelves around the world in winter of 2013. Her “HARD” album features such popular Abbi-K singles as the title track, “Hard,” “Let Love and Peace Reign,” “Dance,” and “Happily Ever After.” As with all Abbi-K releases, the official video for “Happily Ever After” has been published on the rapidly growing Stile Records independent music label.

“Happily Ever After” by Abbi-K can be viewed anywhere in the world at URL: http://www.muzu.tv/abbik/happily-ever-after-music-video/2362419/.

Abbi-K has cited as main artistic influences John Legend, Lauryn Hill and Israel Houghton. Blending these three artists together to approximate the range between them gives a good idea of what Abbi-K's music is like. Her repertoire has strong, catchy elements of pop mixed with brightly colored, upbeat intonations of reggae and Caribbean sounds, while her themes often include uplifting and inspirational topics not unlike those of Israel Houghton.

For longtime fans of Abbi-K, this last bit is unsurprising. Raised on Antigua in the Caribbean's Lesser Antilles archipelago, Abbi-K began her musical career by teaching herself to play keyboard, guitar, and drums at the age of ten. Shortly thereafter, she joined a local Christian singing group in which her many musical talents were polished. She added live performance to her considerable list of skills and became widely known for her naturally raspy, powerful voice.

After moving to New York at the age of 17, Abbi-K became a worship leader at several churches while working with her brother, Kareem Herbert. Together they took up the mantle of church music directors and in 2009 released what would be Abbi-K's first commercially available music album, “Beginnings.”

After becoming involved with non-profit organization New Beginnings, Abbi-K co-wrote and performed her single, “Stand Out” at the group's grand finale concert, which also featured International Grammy Nominee gospel artists, Da’ T.R.U.T.H and the Ambassador, among others. Her performance was aired on major radio stations all across Antigua and remains available for viewing online today.

It was also at church that Stile Records producer Karl Marrett heard Abbi-K’s voice and signed her to the label, leading to the production and global distribution of her popular debut album, “HARD.” The LP features a collection of inspirational melodies spanning a variety of genres and notably includes “Happily Ever After,” for which her new video has been released worldwide.

The official video for “Happily Ever After” by Abbi-K is available everywhere online.

Giano Veneziani releases new single 'Esa Sensación que Nos Atrapa'


The singer and songwriter known around the world as Giano Veneziani has released his newest official single, “Esa Sensación que Nos Atrapa.” The acoustic version of this adult-contemporary pop song hit online shelves on the 16th of February, appropriately timed to appear in the wake of Valentine's Day as a ballad about “That Feeling which Traps Us.” Exquisitely written, tastefully orchestrated and sung with the natural, heartfelt voice his fans have grown to love, “Esa Sensación que Nos Atrapa” by Giano Veneziani is easily one of the most beautiful songs to appear in 2015 so far.

Argentina's Giano Veneziani cites as main musical inspirations great music writers such as Astor Piazzolla, Charly Garcia, Fito Paez, and Mark Knopfler. His own sound, like virtually every piece of music written by these legendary scribes, is rooted in the art of crafting a song which reads as strikingly on the page as it sounds when filling the ear. Though “Esa Sensación que Nos Atrapa” glows with masterful instrumentation, it retains a classic minimalism which showcases its purity of form and leaves room for Veneziani's raw, earnest vocals to be properly appreciated.

That Veneziani's vocals and general style sound absolutely genuine cannot be overstated. His style can be called 'genuine' in the same sense that stone can be called 'hard' and sugar can be called 'sweet.'

Asked to describe the overall themes of his music, Veneziani comes right out and admits that this is, in fact, his artistic goal, just as one would expect.

“[My message is] honesty,” he writes. “I do my best to be honest as a songwriter, and to be me. My songs are just that. I discover me inside every story, or whatever it is that I am writing. It is all about how I feel in that moment.”

Giano Veneziani is a poet and songwriter born 6 October 1982 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He began playing Spanish guitar at 17 and began composing music and lyrics. His music spans a range of genres, his vocals most often blending tones from both rock and soul music. To date he has performed in 67 cities in 40 of the United States. He is currently recording his debut EP in Florida. It is expected to drop worldwide in 2015.

“Esa Sensación que Nos Atrapa” by Giano Veneziani is available online worldwide.

Rev. Johannys Jiménez-Hartog releases new LP album 'Un Pasito Mas'


The singer and songwriter of Latin music known as Rev. Johannys Jiménez-Hartog has released her latest EP record, “Un Pasito Mas.” The album is composed of six original tunes for an approximate total listening time of 20 minutes. Classy, heartfelt, and full to the brim with el ritmo Latino, “Un Pasito Mas” is an international collection of music that music fans from around the world can appreciate.

Rev. Johannys Jiménez-Hartog (whose professional name is often shortened to just Rev. Johannys) cites as her main artistic influences only the popular singer, Juan Luis Guerra, with whom she shares a few similarities, such as an ability to evoke tenderness and fellow-feeling with her songs. The Dominican star is not Rev. Johannys' only source of musical inspiration, though. Even before naming Guerra, she points out that much of her music was stirred in her by “My parents and sisters and brothers.”

My family is full of musical talent,” Rev. Johannys writes. “As long as I can remember, I have sung, played piano and guitar. As a teenager, I did backup singing with my two sisters for many Latino stars.”

The topics of her lyrics in “Un Pasito Mas (One More Step)” are largely romantic in nature, as one can tell from the titles of the songs contained therein. These include, for example, “Ligada a Tu Amor (Tied to Your Love),” “Buscando Amor (Looking for Love),” and “Abro Mi Corazón (Open My Heart).”

Asked to comment on the themes of her new record, Rev. Johannys writes that her “Un Pasito Mas” is about “A positive, vibrant and joyful relationship with life and with God (or whatever people like to call the Source of Love).”

Rev. Johannys' singing career began in earnest alongside her sisters. They performed as support vocalists from 1982-1985 as Las Hermanas Jiménez for such artists as Yolandita Monge, Nidia Caro,
Marco Antonio Muñiz, Jose Jose, and others. Johannys was awarded Best New Recording Artist, Premios Paoli, for her “Entre Luces” album in 1990.

Rev. Johannys hosted the “Contigo Johannys” weekly variety show for Telemundo, P.R. from 1989-'91, and had primary roles in four different telenovela productions from '85-'88 on the same network.

Aside from her career in entertainment, Rev. Johannys Jiménez-Hartog has a master's degree in education and a BS in industrial engineering. Her spiritual education includes studies at the Unity Ministerial School at San Juan, Puerto Rico, the Pathways of Light Spiritual College at Kiel, Wisconsin and the Unity Institute at Lee's Summit, MO.

“Un Pasito Mas” by Rev. Johannys is available online worldwide.

Singer Crimseon releases new album 'Desire'


The singer and songwriter of pop music known as Crimseon has released her latest album, “Desire.” The record has been proudly published on the N4orce Entertainment Distribution independent music label. The album is composed of seven original tracks for an approximate total listening time of 25 minutes. Danceable, beautiful, and capable of evoking genuine emotional intensity, “Desire” by Crimseon is both a worthy addition to any DJ's play list and a shoo-in favorite release of 2015 for fans of pop and R-n-B music everywhere.

Crimseon has cited as her main artistic influence the seminal pop legend, Rihanna. This inspiration can be heard in Crimseon's own style on “Desire” throughout the record. Her crystalline singing voice is pitch-perfect and flows as naturally as rain. Her precision also shows a great many years of exacting practice and experience, a razor-sharp knack for timing and tone which can't be emulated. Her songwriting exhibits both a masterful ear and a heartfelt sincerity, as well as an expert's feel for what makes a pop song “stick.” The combination of these traits makes “Desire” very desirable, indeed.

Asked to describe the themes of her music, Crimseon has gone on record to say, “Life is my inspiration to sing.”

Crimseon was born in Shelby, NC in 1990 and began singing at the age of six. Like many of America's finest music artists, she cut her musical teeth by singing at her local church.

Zeynep Ozbilen releases new album 'Zee'


The international music artist known as Zeynep Ozbilen has released her latest official record, “Zee.” The album has been proudly published as an independent title without ties to the corporate music industry of any part of the world. It comprises a collection of 12 tracks, many of which are original songs by Ozbilen herself but also featuring rearrangements of popular classics such as “Spinning Wheel” by Blood, Sweat and Tears. An indescribably multicultural record with moods, styles and textures from an array of various nations, “Zee” by Zeynep Ozbilen is one of the most colorful and intriguing musical experiences to reach music stores in some time.

The Toronto-based Zeynep Ozbilen cites as main artistic influences Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Estefan, Celia Cruz, Buena Vista Social Club, Shakira, Tony Bennett, and Michael Buble. As might be intuited from this list, a large portion of her music stems from the Latin jazz movement, and it is largely this dose of 'el ritmo Latino' which makes her record so very danceable and infectious.

It is not, however, a dominant musical component in “Zee” so much as it is a sonic partner with the album's other key element: a strong foundation on Turkish music. In fact, it is this traditional Ottoman sound which first introduces the album once the listener hits 'play.' Ozbilen's second track follows, beckoning, “Come to Istanbul.” When the third, much more Latin-based song begins, it dovetails with the previous Mediterranean style so elegantly that the listener feels transported.

Amusingly, the title of the record is not merely eponymous. Her album was recorded in Toronto, Miami, New York and Istanbul in collaboration with 20 fellow artists worldwide. Tracing a path on the surface of the globe from Toronto to Istanbul, thence to Latin America and returning to the Mediterranean sea where Ozbilen and her music share their origination, the result is a perfect 'Z.'

The songs on Ozbilen's “Zee” have been turning heads all over the world, even previous to the record's official release on February 20th.

On hearing her rendition of “Spinning Wheel” and other songs, Blood, Sweat and Tears lead singer David Clayton-Thomas remarked, “Zeynep's music is an unusual blend of Turkish melodies and Latin rhythms. With pure talent, a great voice and a collection of gifted musicians, she makes it all work.”

Jaymz Bee of Toronto's world-famous Jazz.FM91 noted that “Zeynep has certainly made her mark in the Toronto music community quickly. When she's not working with some of the city's best musicians, you can find her in clubs supporting other artists. And they say cloning is illegal. Pity.”

“Zee” by Zeynep Ozbilen is available online worldwide beginning 20 February 2015. Get in early. Very early.

Doc Wascher releases the heart-pounding new single, 'You Can Never Rewind'


Phoenix cancer surgeon and rock musician Robert “Doc” Wascher has just released his latest single, “You Can Never Rewind.” This new track is the sequel to Doc Wascher’s 2014 instrumental single, “Rewind.” Both of these rock tunes are published by Doc Wascher Records, an independent music label that exclusively publishes Doc Wascher’s music, and which frees Wascher from the constraints of the corporate music world and its mass-production approach to music.
A contemporary example of the legendary classic rock sound of the late 1960s and early '70s, “You Can Never Rewind” boasts Doc Wascher’s haunting and compelling vocals and melodic guitars, as well as some of the most intuitive and evocative songwriting since that of Lennon & McCartney and Eric Burdon (The Animals).
Doc Wascher cites as his main artistic influences some of world's most renowned founders of modern rock and roll music, including The Beatles, Pink Floyd, the Moody Blues, Led Zeppelin, the Ventures, the Eagles, Motown in general, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, post-Cream Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Rush, Duane Eddy, the Animals, and Yes, among others.
As one might derive from such a distinguished list of rock royalty, Wascher's own original music is steeped in what is commonly called the ‘classic-rock sound,’ which Wascher, himself, rightly considers to be the foundation of virtually all modern rock and roll and blues-rock. .
“I grew up in the '60s and '70s,” he writes, “listening to – and loving – blues and rock & roll music (what people now refer to as 'classic rock'). 'You Can Never Rewind' speaks to the two intertwined themes of the transforming nature of love and the unstoppable passage of time in our lives, all set to a classic rock groove”
“You Can Never Rewind,” with its warm, flexing guitar tones that alternately growl and soar with the impact of Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour and Cream’s Eric Clapton, will take you on a musical journey that will impact both your ears and your heart. At a time when classic rock and blues aficionados believe that “all the good stuff has already been done,” Doc Wascher comes bursting out of the gate with a new song that vividly recalls the golden era of classic blues and rock music in the late 1960s and early ‘70s
“‘You Can Never Rewind’ reminds us all of the transforming power of love,” Wascher writes, “but it also reminds us of the reality that time is finite, and that time quickly passes all of us by.” While ancient philosophers wrote about these two interwoven realities of human existence, Doc Wascher has taken these existential themes and married them with a guitar-driven rock beat that will move both your heart and your feet at the same time.
You Can Never Rewind” by Doc Wascher is now available from online music stores worldwide. Fans of melodic rock-blues will want to add this new release to their music collection and playlists without delay!
Also, don't miss the official video preview for “You Can Never Rewind!” (link provided below).

Doc Wascher’s Bio –
In addition to his classic blues-rock compositions and recordings, Robert “Doc” Wascher is an internationally renowned cancer surgeon and professor of surgery. Dr. Wascher is also the author of the popular book, “A Cancer Prevention Guide for the Human Race,” which is often referred to as the ‘Bible of Cancer Prevention’ for lay readers.
By day, Dr. Wascher is the Chief of Surgery at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in the Phoenix, Arizona area. By night, Doc Wascher is a passionate rock-and-roll composer, multi-instrumentalist, and vocalist who channels a 40-year love affair with classic rock and blues music into his own original compositions and recordings.
In 2014, Robert “Doc” Wascher released his debut single, “Rewind,” which is an instrumental guitar-and-keyboard rocker that evokes the classic-rock guitar sounds of Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, the Ventures and Duane Eddy.
“You Can Never Rewind,” Doc Wascher's latest release, is the follow-up to “Rewind” and features Doc Wascher on vocals, keyboards, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and bass guitar.

Enjoy!

J-Merk drops latest LP album, 'Born Dead'


The rapper and producer of hip hop known as J-Merk has released his latest LP album, “Born Dead.” The full-length record has been proudly published on the Just-Us Music independent label without the involvement of the corporate music industry. It comprises approximately 40 minutes of heavy-hitting urban poetry and powerful back beats in 13 original tracks. In addition to the rhymes of J-Merk, himself, “Born Dead” also features the talents of popular Swedish producer BBZ Darney. Neck-deep in groove, socially poignant and strikingly well-written, “Born Dead” by J-Merk is sure to be remembered as one of the most important indie rap releases of 2015.

Asked to cite some main musical influences, J-Merk writes that his music is informed by “The '60s and '70s eras of art, and the late '90s / early-2000s era of music – specifically 2001. Lots of amazing rap albums and metal albums were released that year, records that had a major impact. Hip hop and heavy metal influenced me, too, as well as politics and also pop culture.”

The remarkably immersive, extremely well-orchestrated music of “Born Dead” creates a kaleidoscopic backdrop against which J-Merk delivers his lines. This swirling blend of music and samples forms a large part of the undeniable draw of “Born Dead,” a record which comes out of the gate swinging and doesn't let up. Still, it is the razor-sharp writing and seemingly perfect flow of J-Merk's rap which truly steals the limelight.

Commenting on the themes of his new LP, J-Merk writes, “This album is conceptual. It's about life in a modern age, an age ruled by manipulation via TV, the radio, and smart phones. People walk the streets like zombies without communicating with each other … Science failed us in a way. People are connected more than ever, yet we can't even have conversations with people over the phone, ha ha!”

Like every other phrase painstakingly crafted to a 'T' on his new album, the title is also significant.

“It's like we are all born dead now,” writes the artist, invoking the name of his record, “every day living to die. [My album's] about being numb and living with hurt and pain and moving on. It's about life and culture in today's society.”

While a great many hip-hop mixtapes are dropped to which a broad variety of people do not necessarily relate, “Born Dead” speaks a message fans of any genre can understand, a record in which anybody can find personal meaning.

J-Merk writes, “Many people have been let down by our government, or by people they trust. It's an album about being born dead in today's society – a wasteland almost, ha ha. I make music for all the people in the world without a voice or artistic ability to express themselves. I make music for the voiceless people of our generation.”

J-Merk is a 25-year-old rap artist born and raised in Chicago. He has been writing rap lyrics since the age of 12 and producing music in the studio since the age of 15. Since that time he has worked with multi-platinum and Grammy-nominated producers, as well as with many talented and established rap artists from all over the world. His debut EP appeared in 2012.

“Born Dead” is only one of several official releases slated to drop from J-Merk in 2015.

“Born Dead” by J-Merk and feat. BBZ Darney is available online worldwide. Get in early, rap fans. The “Born Dead” LP album is currently being offered at a special price from the artist's official Bandcamp website (link provided below).

The Point Shown releases new LP 'The Quietest Survivalist'


The rapper and songwriter known as the Point Shown has released his latest full-length album, “The Quietest Survivalist.” The LP has been proudly published on the Droppin Hits Gang Ent / iH2D / iHipHop Distribution independent music labels respectively. A roundly comprehensive album from the artist also sometimes known as Young Denzel, “The Quietest Survivalist” contains approximately one hour and 20 minutes of in-your-face hip hop in no fewer than 17 original tracks. Shadowy, aggressive rap music with heavy doses of urban poetry threaded throughout, “The Quietest Survivalist” by the Point Shown is a rap record for the modern era.

The Point Shown (often stylized as an exclamation: 'The Point Shown!') cites as main artistic influences Nas, AZ, Wu-Tang Clan, the Roots, Ice Cube, Scarface, Bun B, Outkast, Boosie Bad-Azz, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Wilson Pickett, the Stylistics, the Temptations, Isaac Hayes, the Jackson Five, the Emotions, Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, Anthony Hamilton, L.L. Cool J, 50 Cent, and Eminem.

Of these, perhaps the most striking similarities can be drawn between Nas and “The Quietest Survivalist” by the Point Shown. Fans of Nas have reason to be enthusiastic about this latest offering from the Point Shown, as the styles of the rappers have much in common. The Point Shown's lines and rhymes are densely packed and often blend from one beat into the next and sometimes even into the next bar. His songs are often highly narrative and always lead by Point Shown's charismatic delivery.

Speaking of the theme of his latest album, the Point Shown writes, “My message to listeners is to feel my raw energy of hip-hop lyrics overtaking the original beats that are infused with street elements from the east coast that can reach out to down south, mid-west, west coast and international listeners and appeal to all fans.”

The Point Shown grew up in Philadelphia and began writing songs in the late 1990s. He appeared on Merk Beats' classic “Philly Freestyles” mixtape series, and began producing his own music under the mentoring of Beats, himself. He has appeared onscreen and at venues across the United States. He often performs for charitable events, perhaps most notably for the Lupus Foundation.

“The Quietest Survivalist” by the Point Shown is available online worldwide.

Nellagy releases new video 'To the Sky'


The singer of hip-hop music known as Nellagy has released the highly anticipated official music video for his recent single, “To the Sky.” Both the popular single track and new official video have been published on the Spentopia Entertainment independent music label. The single, having been available online around the world since New Year's Day of 2015, has had at the time of this writing five weeks to garner a following, and in that time has surpassed every expectation in doing so. This quickly growing fan base of Nellagy's has been clamoring to see the video which it had been rumored would go in circulation soon. Now for both Nellagy's burgeoning crew of new fans and the loyal clique of old, the wait is finally over.

The video itself represents Nellagy in every way the style and tone of his music do. It is classy, elegant, and pop-minded with hip-hop overtones. Cleanly directed and polished with a high production value and flawless execution, the “To the Sky” video from Nellagy is everything his fans could have hoped for.

For those not yet acquainted with the artist from Delaware, Nellagy cites as main artistic influences Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Drake, Big Sean and J Cole. His own manner of music takes key elements of these and molds from them a new sonic image all his own. A young college student, himself, Nellagy takes pleasure in crafting clever lines and rhymes for a hip-hop experience that is far more than urban buzz words set to a beat.

Asked in December to comment on the meaning of his single, Nellagy wrote, “This song really captures the feeling and experience of a new flame.”

The “To the Sky” official video by Nellagy is available from Spentopia Entertainment online worldwide (links supplied below).

The following is taken from the artist’s current official bio.

[Nellagy Bio] Nellagy was born Gregory Allen Spencer II in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Raised in Delaware, he is a 19-year-old college student who is serious about being a hip-hop artist. Nellagy pens his rhymes from his ambitious spirit and strong desire to be a success. He likens himself to Kanye West because of his ability to write and deliver his lyrical flow on his own tracks.

Nellagy describes himself as a guy who has fun and likes his fans to have fun with his music. He is a positive and uplifting artist who loves the art of making music….It shows in his life and music! At the age of 16, he wrote his debut EP, “Appearance Ain’t Everything.” He created this project because he wants the world to see hip hop is not all negative or stereotypical. Nellagy’s recent accomplishments include co-writing the title song for an upcoming movie titled, “Brotherly Love.” He also wrote “Break The Code,” which was selected to be on a mixtape distributed for an education summit sponsored by Jr. Music Executive, Google, Temple University, and host of other organizations.

Nellagy’s latest project, “That How I Do,” is a collection of songs that touch on his ambition, relationships and desire to have fun!

Ebony Archer releases new single 'Gotta Believe in Me'


The inspirational singer and songwriter of pop and R 'n' B known as Ebony Archer has released her latest single, “Gotta Believe in Me.” The track has been proudly published on the Inspired by Purpose Inc. independent music label without any involvement from the corporate music power structure. An unstoppably upbeat and uplifting single that has been picking up steam since its first appearance online, “Gotta Believe in Me” by Ebony Archer is a dance-floor high point in indie music that doesn't show any sign of slowing down.

Ebony Archer cites as main artistic influences such legends of pop, gospel and soul as Whitney Houston, CeCe Winans, and Aretha Franklin. Fans of these singers will find many happy parallels between their respective styles and that of Ebony Archer, herself, whose invigorating, natural jubilance and spirited tenacity finds her in the same proud echelon, and whose unassuming, “Watch this!” demeanor on “Gotta Believe in Me” is both infectious and refreshing.

These sentiments have been so uniformly echoed throughout the World Wide Web since the release of Ebony Archer's single that the high quality of her singing – not to mention the equally lofty caliber of her songwriting – sometimes goes unmentioned. This is an unfair mistake, as Archer's natural singing voice is both clarion and crystalline, her tones landing somewhere between Y2K-era Cher and the more danceable offerings from Whitney Houston.

In view of Archer's long experience, this should not come a surprise.

“I started getting involved in music at the age of eight,” she writes, “when I joined an renowned gospel group called Walt Whitman and the Soul Children of Chicago.”

Since then, Ebony Archer's goals have enlarged to include the betterment of society at large, and to read the accolades posted on her official website (link provided below) her efforts have not been in vain.

She comments on this, “I want to empower, inspire, and motivate the listeners through the words I write, the melodies I sing and the message I am trying to portray.”

It is exactly this mission which has caused her to be called in various locales, “The Inspirer,” a title which she proudly carries from state to state on her popular music tours.

Ebony Archer has shared the stage with such names as Yolanda Adams, R. Kelly, Celine Dion, Nick Carter, and others. In 2001, she was featured in R. Kelly's video, “The World's Greatest.” She won the runner-up award in the national “Black Girls Run” competition with over 40,000 votes, and is widely expected to exceed even these achievements before long.

“Gotta Believe in Me” by Ebony Archer is available online worldwide.

Clifton Poyotte releases new gospel LP 'Blue Skies'



The singer and songwriter of gospel music known as Clifton Poyotte has released his latest LP record album, “Blue Skies.” The LP is composed of 14 new tracks for an approximate total listening time of one full hour. It has been proudly published as an independent release entirely without the support of the corporate music power structure. Upbeat, powerful, and full of the might of the holy spirit, “Blue Skies” by Clifton Poyotte is the latest evidence that the lasting strength of contemporary Christian music is still rooted in the Biblical tradition, itself.

Born and raised on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, singer Clifton Poyotte cites as main artistic influences Donnie McClurkin, Alvin Slaughter, and Smokie Norful. While Poyotte has clearly been performing music for decades and has reached an expert level of skill, “Blue Skies” remains his most widely distributed official record to date and may be considered a debut LP on that score alone.

Clifton Poyotte's “Blue Skies” album is a mix of songs from a wide variety of music styles, including (but not limited to) the adult contemporary, classic gospel, R 'n' B, pop, and even reggae genres, many of which are blended together on the LP for a new sound that is strictly Poyotte's own. His natural singing voice is reminiscent of the best male gospel performers, a mix of raw, unadulterated talent and polished skill which has obviously taken shape over many performances.

The sheer quality of the record, not to be overlooked, is neither to be considered the album's chief charm nor its primary aim, however. While the music of “Blue Skies” is clearly majestic and moving, its lyrics point to more celestial sources for their inspiration and remind the listener time and again that the music is intended as much to please heavenly ears as it is to uplift and encourage the earthbound.

Asked to comment on the theme of his record, Poyotte replies that “It does not matter how low you sink, the grace of God can lift you out to your highest potential. The sky is your limit.”

A heartfelt work of worship, praise, and personal devotion, “Blue Skies” is an album music lovers of all faiths can understand and appreciate.

“Blue Skies” by Clifton Poyotte is available online worldwide.

Sublet releases new single 'Time Is a Razor Blade'

The music project known as Sublet has released a new single for Q1 2015, “Time Is a Razor Blade.”



The music project known as Sublet has released a new single for Q1 2015, “Time Is a Razor Blade.” The track has been proudly published on the Boomnote Music independent record label. A ghostly, groovy track which blends acoustic instrumentation and impeccable female vocals with minimalist synth tones and futuristic style, Sublet's “Time Is a Razor Blade” is a track any true music fan will appreciate.

Sublet cites as main artistic influences a variety of music legends ranging from Freddy Mercury, the Smiths and Hank Williams, to Beck, J-Dilla and Sly and the Family Stone. Still, others of Sublet's musical inspirations seem to have left their mark on “Time Is a Razor Blade” somewhat more heavily. Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Thom Yorke, and the Pixies all share sonic elements with the chill and shadowy track, with smatterings of Miles Davis and John Coltrane peeking out of the undertones for
good measure.

Asked to reveal the message of “Time Is a Razor Blade,” Sublet writes that the new single was written to emphasize “the importance of each moment.”

Dark and foreboding, yet full of satiny sensuousness like a Latin jazz club, “Time Is a Razor Blade” strikes a balance between seduction and gravity that hasn't been seen since the years of the original electronica movement which brought groups like Garbage, Portishead, and the Sneaker Pimps to global view. Fans of these bands, as well as those of modern digital music and listeners of contemporary indie tunes in general are certain to be enthusiastic about this latest addition to the Boomnote Music catalog from Sublet.

Over the course of 2013 and '14, Boomnote Music continued to gather plenty of attention from audiophiles for publishing popular and lasting releases from acclaimed artists including Eighty, Substratum, Beat Ventriloquists, Julie Walehwa, Mount Cyanide, and Josh One, in addition to a great many featured artists such as Lili De La Mora, LLgL TNdR, Rosey, and Buff1.

“Time Is a Razor Blade” by Sublet is available online worldwide.
