Philip Phunk – Morning Sunrise (February)
(Spotify)

“The rhythm and the Jazz-Hop melody are very successfully combined with the atmosphere of this track. In your hands, a mug of hot chocolate, outside the window, singing morning birds, and the first rays of the rising sun spy through the door slot.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Ритм и мелодия Jazz-hop очень удачно сочетаются с атмосферой этого трека. В ваших руках кружка горячего шоколада, за окном пение утренних птиц, а сквозь дверную щель подглядывают первые лучи восходящего солнца.”

Jess Baldwin – Wild
(Spotify)

“Numerous sound landscapes Neo-Soul, R&B and Nu Jazz are opening in front of you. This music is intended to achieve calm, space and mental harmony. The melody is filled with soft, light intonations and warmth of vocals -Jess Baldwin-.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Перед вами открываются многочисленные звуковые пейзажи Neo-Soul, R&B и Nu Jazz. Эта музыка предназначена для достижения спокойствия, пространства и душевной гармонии. Мелодия наполнена мягкими, светлыми интонациями и теплотой вокала -Jess Baldwin-.”

Wild begins with a solo heartbeat in the keyboards. It's not a resting heart rate. It's the heightened rate of a caged animal pacing along the bars. The verses feel restrained. Held in. Clenched. And then the chorus explodes with a belty vocal sound...a calling out...and horns join in. Violins represent the yearning to be free, and the drum solo represents the caged wildness.

It was in writing Wild that the title for my album, ANIMA, came about. In my 30's, I realized that I believed being a separate, independent self who didn't try to please everyone felt akin to being a wild animal. It felt selfish, and doing what I wanted was sure to hurt other. But I felt like a caged tiger. I wanted to be free, and I couldn't take care of everyone else at my own expense anymore. I had to uncage myself and be WILD if I was going to live an authentic, vibrant, powerful life, let alone have something to say in my music. I had to let other people be their own animal, too, because the ANIMA is where our breath, soul, spirit, courage, desire, and life force originate. We all need to be beautifully wild in our own ways.

Wild

This crazy love can’t seem to get a hold of itself

Until I’ve drained myself dry

Filling the gaps, spilling through cracks in broken hearts

‘Til I start to break apart

This wild heart has to be set free

If it’s gonna survive

This wild heart can only beat for me

If it’s gonna stay alive

This crazy love gets so tangled up in you

And this web we’ve spun ourselves into

Can’t move, can’t breathe,

Can’t loosen even one string

For fear we both start unraveling

This wild heart has to be set free

If it’s gonna survive

This wild heart can only beat for me

If it’s gonna stay alive

Goldsmith Baynes – Te Aranga o Matariki
(Spotify)

“In this paradise, jazz composition there are no sharp transitions and sounds, it is saturated with soft, light intonations in the melodic line and vocals. You will not find a roar of guitar reefs and a hail of powerful shock and buzzing bass. Here, music that will cure you from any hardships and sow the grain of hope and love in your heart.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“В этой райской, джазовой композиции нет резких переходов и звуков, он насыщен мягкими, светлыми интонациями в мелодической линии и вокале. Вы не встретите здесь рёв гитарных рифов и град из мощных ударных и гудящего баса. Здесь музыка, которая вылечит вас от любых невзгод и посеет зерно надежды и любви в вашем сердце.”

Salma e Mac – Marquinha
(Spotify)

“From the charming vocals -salma e mac - it blows sexuality, intrigue and the desire to listen to its timbre around the clock - from dawn to sunset. Charming acoustic tropical, it's time to be where it is always good.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“От обворожительного вокала -Salma e Mac- так и веет сексуальностью, интригой и желанием слушать её тембр круглые сутки — от рассвета и до самого заката. Очаровательный акустический Tropical, самое время, чтобы оказаться там, где всегда хорошо.”

Brazilian couple Salma e Mac releases a relaxing and sensual "indie Bossa Nova" album

The Brazilian couple Salma e Mac released last June 24th the charming “Marquinha” (bikini tan line), the single that starts the campaign to promote the album “Voo Livre”. The first major release by the founding duo of the indie band Carne Doce, the album, produced by the renowned producer Alexandre Kassin, arrives in August and bets on minimal, relaxing and sensual topics to do Brazilian acoustic indie pop, inspired by Bossa Nova and MPB (Música Popular Brasileira).

Tropical and elegant, “Marquinha” brings Salma — known for her powerful vocals with Carne Doce — tenderly singing lines like “I was kissed by the sun and who knows which lips more”, cradled by sweet chords of Mac on acoustic guitar. The single’s cover (attached) is a portrait of Salma's bikini tan, photographed by Mac at their home, in Goiânia, in the Brazilian Midwest.

Rhythm by the percussion of Leonardo Reis, a musician awarded with two Latin Grammys for his participation in Gilberto Gil’s and Caetano Veloso’s albums, the track also has acoustic bass and banjo, performed by Kassin.

“I was impressed with the quality of the songs, it's something very difficult for an acoustic project to have this sensual lens, it caught me immediately”, says Kassin, who has produced great names in Brazilian music such as Caetano Veloso, Vanessa Da Mata and many others.

“Salma's point of femininity and sensuality is very well placed in the lyrics and it is done in a non-pamphleteer way”, he says. The album was recorded in April 2022 in Rio de Janeiro.

Salma e Mac debuted their duo project in 2021 with the release of the EP “Salma e Mac”. In July they will release another single before the album “Voo Livre”, scheduled for August 12th.

“Voo Livre”, a gentle musical glide to a Rio beach

By Jacob Wolbert, Doctoral Candidate at the University of California - Berkeley

This release comes from a partnership well accustomed to intense, brooding alternative rock in their band Carne Doce, but with Voo Livre (hang gliding), Salma e Macloys show their versatility, offering a calmer approach. Trading the electric guitar for an acoustic, the duo offer eight original songs, including two acoustic versions of previously released Carne Doce songs. The subject matter in the newer songs is based on welcoming topics like relaxation, vacation, and the beach. In each track what comes across is a controlled tranquility, full of deep musical knowledge. This can be heard in the instrumental textures, the clever lyrics, and Salma’s way of singing, which has the ability to transport a listener to the beach in Rio de Janeiro. Even for those who do not understand Portuguese, there is a lot to enjoy here, including the opening track, Gringa, which has a chorus in English. Fans of Bossa Nova and Latin jazz will be taken in by the album’s musical connections, but will be delighted by the innovative details that Salma e Mac put into the tracks, brilliantly mixed by Alexandre Kassin and mastered by Ricardo Garcia. Standout tracks: Gringa, Marquinha, Na Pele, Cetapensano.

“Творение этого дуэта является крайне питательной музыкальной едой для всех тех, кто любит Neo Soul и Funk и ежедневно купается в океане положительных эмоций. Если бы звуковые волны этой композиции можно было сравнить с Цунами, то вас бы уже давно затопило.”

-Nagamag.com

The lyrically explosive and musically diverse DOPESICKFLY have released their soulful funk filled new single Red Light featuring Joe Nichols. Led by New Orleanian singer-songwriter Ant Thomaz, the Glasgow-based four-piece consists of guitarist and vocalist Joe Djaelani, bassist Iona Chantil and drummer Ross Macpherson, who together combine neo-soul and world music with rapping interludes for an uplifting sound that is distinctively feel good.

Now, DOPESICKFLY are proud to reveal their first release of 2022. Titled Red Light, the new single is an infectious, funk-infused summer evening soundtrack.

SONORO – Moving On
(Spotify)

“What an interesting combination of classical music and jazz, in the ocean of whose emotions they dance and sing piano and cello. The overall picture of the composition complements the bass with its depth, summing up the soft sound line under the structure of the entire work.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Какое интересное сочетание классической музыки и джаза, в океане эмоций которых танцуют и поют фортепиано и виолончели. Общую картину композиции дополняет бас своей глубиной, подводя мягкую звуковую линию под структурой всего произведения.”

-Nagamag.com

This is an uptempo and fun piece for cello and piano. The cello is replicating the sound of an acoustic bass with pizzicato, which worked well with the jazz feel of this piece.
