Rising singer-songwriter Miranda Joy has uncovered her brand-new single, “Up In Flames”, a striking track that lingers and leaves a huge impression after first listen. Only her third official release, the singer from Berkshire, UK, has already begun to amass a following and garner huge support – her track “The Fall” was featured in the end credits for the Super Bowl highlights show on BBC One in 2017 – and “Up In Flames” looks set to elevate the independent artist to even greater heights.

Beginning her love affair with music at a young age and writing songs since her early teens, Miranda showcases her full repertoire of talents on “Up In Flames”, with the single accentuating her strong musicianship, gorgeous vocals and skilful songwriting. Immediately commanding attention with its striking opening piano chords, the track captures the feelings of seeing someone special for the first time.

“This is a song that was written many years ago and when revived recently for a gig, it was so warmly received in its new joyful arrangement it seemed the obvious choice for a third single release”, explains Miranda. “The elation and excitement built into the track, for me, is reflective of how much fun I’ve had creating this with such good and wildly talented friends. I don't want to limit the listener by telling them what the song should mean to them, but I hope they feel the same deep sense of joy hearing it as I've had throughout this creative process, as – like the song – I move into a new and exciting phase of life.”

A force to be reckoned with and artistically at the top of her game, Miranda creates powerful material that genuinely connects to listeners, largely due to the passion, dedication, conviction and commitment that can be heard in every word she sings. And with “Up In Flames” still so early on in her career, it’s clear Miranda Joy has an exciting future ahead and will be one to watch out for over the next year and beyond. “Up In Flames” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/mirandajoy/up-in-flames.

Prolific New Jersey singer-songwriter Jeff Hartman has been writing guitar-driven, soulful soft-rock ballads for over forty years. His songs feature refreshingly candid vocals and compelling stories about life and love, often incorporating Spanish lyrics. Raised by a musical family in New Jersey (his father was a jazz trumpet and clarinet player and his grandmother was a child violin prodigy), Hartman was working as an English and Spanish teacher and tennis coach when he met his mentor, Philadelphia rhythm and blues legend Joe Jefferson, by chance on the tennis court. The two songwriters later collaborated on the track "Young Love" (co-written with Randy Cantor), which charted at 60 on Billboard's "Hot Black" charts for five weeks in 1988, and the track “Guilty” performed by Starleana in 1990 for Virgin Records.

Now with over 70 releases under his belt, Hartman has become an internationally recognized songwriter and celebrated recording artist in the soft-rock space, known for his collections of distinct, compelling covers as well as moving full-length albums of original ballads. He’s worked with Grammy-nominated artists and producers, and his singles, including recent releases “Cielito Lindo” and “Sweet Johnny,” have hit number one on Spotify’s Release Radar. His 2012 narrative pop-rock EP Curtain Call and the acoustic-leaning 2017 EP Mansfield led to the release of his highly-acclaimed full-length album Legacy in 2017, which featured all original songs written by Hartman. In 2020, Hartman released two albums, 7 and Under Cover, as well as ten singles. He’s currently writing with Kit Worton at Right Touch Studios and Bob Fowler at SSR Recording, and has released two more full-length albums in 2021: Jeff Hartman, Acoustic Favorites featuring new, original tunes, and a deluxe edition reissue of Legacy featuring additional tracks as well as new mixes of several hit singles. Hartman lives with his wife Paula on the Jersey Shore.

“”Brynn Elliott” keeps us company with a Wonderful release. Peaceful and soothing sound, decorated by the singer’s sentimental voice. The final result is so expressive that can reach the soul of every listener. 100% recommended work.”

“I wrote the first verse and chorus of ‘Breathe’ at the beginning of this year about my journey through the pandemic. I moved across the country to Los Angeles in the middle of this global crisis. In the midst of that transition, I had to learn what it meant truly to breathe. I experienced the greatest loss I’ve ever known when my dad died suddenly and unexpectedly. Since then, I feel like I have had to start over creatively. I had to go back to 15 year old Brynn, just me and a guitar processing life. We’ve all lost and grieved so much through this pandemic. It’s my hope that my story and this song will provide a moment of peace and calm for those who hear it for whatever they might be grieving or feeling. It’s my deepest hope that this song inspires others to breathe and to know what a wonderfully beautiful gift it is to be alive.”

“Ali Warren steals our impression with this new single. Indie Folk style with influensive background sound patterns and sophisticated lyrics. The artist has made his personal ideas clear enough to recognize a skillful talent in “Head Over Heart”.”

-Nagamag.com

Ali Warren releases the long-awaited single ‘Head Over Heart’ on October 29th. A soul-drenched indie-folk epic, packed with emotion and layers of intricate instrumentation.

https://www.facebook.com/aliwarrenmusic/

Warren’s ethereal vocals have been likened to Jeff Buckley by many tastemakers including Tom Robinson’s blog Fresh On The Net, who also championed Warren’s lyrical post-rock on 6Music and BBC London. He’s had festival appearances at Larmer Tree and Sofar Festival, as well as United Islands Festival in the Czech Republic and made it to the longlist on Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent Competition. Warren also hosted successful folk night ‘Stroke Your Beard’ at The Windmill in Brixton.

https://www.instagram.com/aliwarrenmusic/

Warren says ‘Head Over Heart’ is my way of mourning the loss of my younger self. Of acknowledging the better parts of the person I’ve grown into but missing the less desirable parts of a younger me.

I was always pretty angry growing up. I’ve found that as I’ve got older, I’ve learned to curb that anger…and I’m not sure I like that. I’ve found myself weighed down by the gloomy reality and complexity of it all rather than the optimistic, reckless, youthful view that I could, for my part, change the world.’

Alongside performing, Warren works for the NHS, which although rewarding has been particularly draining during covid. He says ‘The sense of loss and striving for something bigger and better certainly made its way into Head Over Heart.’
