"Warm Breeze" is the 3rd single my upcoming full length album. 🪶
The song speaks to the era that we're in - one where the climate is warming up and there's a subtle heaviness of our collective psyche in the face of collapsing natural systems.
It is a song that acknowledges the inevitability of change, while staying hopeful to the power of humanity and our place in creating a sustainable future.

Alberta-born Métis singer-songwriter Cynthia Hamar is no stranger to the Canadian music scene. With three studio albums under her belt and many kilometers on the road - including a tour across Canada by train (through VIA Rail’s on Board program) - Hamar can execute timeless songs that stand up with the sound of Buffy Sainte-Marie, Tom Waits, and Feist.
With her much anticipated album Joint & Marrow on the way, Hamar shares a new single "Light A Fire" (out August 26, 2022 via Neon Moon Records). The track combines a country groove that switches into a reggae feel under the chorus's sunny refrain "Light a fire, light a fire - inside these bones, inside these bones" Hamar explains her thought process behind the song; "I wrote this feeling extremely burnt out struggling with ambition. I was thinking how a tiny spark can set a whole forest on fire and I wrote the melody attempting to kindle some fresh creative joy inside me.”
Produced by Paul Johnston, and featuring her son Zadok Hamar along with acclaimed Alberta session musicians Chris Andrews, Jamie Cooper, Paul Johnston and Toronto’s Joel Schwartz, “Light A Fire” didn’t initially come together easily in the studio; “This song almost didn’t make it on the album. I was struggling to communicate my vision for the tune and I was close to pulling it feeling deeply exhausted." explains Hamar, "Sunday evening after successfully capturing my main choices Paul cheerfully says lets do “that” one. I knew what he meant; my crazy one that was all feel. The guys were like, “ let's just have fun and we’ll follow you”. We ended up setting up the studio so we were all separate but they could all see me and just let it fly. It ended up being one of my favorites and I’m so thankful I pushed through and allowed that spark to fire up in me again. The theme of the tune was truly manifested in the recording of it.”

LYRICS
Quiet my mind
let me breathe for a time
I need to get away
I cannot think clear with all the noise in my ears
oh there's colors striving for attention
What was that you said
how’d you raise the dead
I need a bit of reviving
Light a fire light a fire
Inside these bones
won’t you light a fire
It’s been a long long and lonely winter
and I’m so cold
Light a fire light a fire
inside these bones inside these bones
Light a fire light a fire
inside these bones inside these bones
Light a fire light a fire
inside these bones inside these bones
Light a fire light a fire
inside these bones inside these bones
Ooo
Don’t put out the blaze
I need to contemplate
Oh it will be pure pure pure purifying
And I’ll ride this wave
and I’ll face another day
Oh it will be pure pure pure purifying
Tune my heart like strings
Until it learns to sing in the winter as when the summer blooms
I say tune my heart like strings
Until it learns to sing in the winter as when the summer blooms
Light a Fire light a fire
Inside these bones won’t you light light a fire
It’s been a long long and lonely winter
and I’m so cold
Light a fire light a fire
inside these bones,inside these bones
Light a fire light a fire
inside these bones inside these bones
Light a fire light a fire
inside these bones inside these bones
Light a fire light a fire
inside these bones inside these bones
I say
Light a fire light a fire
inside these bones inside these bones
Light a fire light a fire
inside these bones inside these bones yeah
Light a fire light a fire
inside these bones inside these bones
Light a fire light a fire
inside these bones inside these bones
Light a fire light a fire
inside these bones inside these bones
Light a fire light a fire
inside these bones inside these bones
Light a fire light a fire
Bones inside these bones
Light a fire light a fire
inside these bones inside these bones
Light a fire light a fire

SunDub, the Brooklyn-based five piece who expertly mixes classic reggae with elements of soul and blues, is back with a new single, “Jump and Dance,” released on August 26th on Easy Star Records. This danceable, grooving tune, featuring guest vocals by Jamaican superstar Lutan Fyah, is a perfect introduction to SunDub’s lush sound and the next phase they are laying out with their new album. The band describes it as “a simple set of directions for what listeners of this song will be doing – jumping and dancing, wiggling and turning, stepping to the left and to the right. It’s a feel-good song with a chorus full of inviting instructions to make sure new and old fans alike feel the groove with their whole body.” Stream and download the single at http://moremusic.at/JumpAndDance.
SunDub is a testament to the power of inclusion, diversity and unity; their music and community rallies around the concept that we are strongest when people of different backgrounds can work together to create positive change. These core values were first showcased on SunDub’s debut album, Burden of Love (2019), which has amassed millions of streams since coming out. Anchored by a core quintet—Finn Singer (guitar), Josh T Carter (bass), Eric "The General'' Toussaint (vocals-keys) and the brother-sister team of Joanna Teters (lead vocals) and Ben Teters (vocals-drums)—the band is ready to breakthrough to even more fans worldwide with their sophomore album, showcasing the evolution of their sound over the past few years. Joanna Teters' commanding and soulfully smoky lead vocals blend seamlessly with the air-tight arrangements of the SunDub rhythm section. The result is a stand out expression of reggae’s classic undulating pulse and lush subterranean grooves, reinvented for listeners of all times and genres.
“Jump & Dance” along with the rest of the upcoming album was recorded at Lydgate Sound in Kauai, HI, in May 2021. Joanna Teters explains, “We got an invitation to record at Lydgate Sound, a special studio located on a remote cacao farm. The island and farm envelope its visitors with lush nature and sweet sunshine, offering a beautiful kind of inspiration that can only come from being disconnected to our everyday lives and distractions.” Ben Teters enthusiastically adds, “We enlisted Sidney Mills (Steel Pulse) to engineer and co-produce the album. We worked with Sidney on our first album Burden of Love - the opportunity to go deep for two weeks in the studio with him took the project to new heights.”
Lutan Fyah has been releasing hit songs and featuring on numerous collaborations for years now, building a strong reputation for his smooth delivery, nimble wordplay, and positive messages. He has appeared on tracks with a huge and diverse list of artists, ranging from Rebelution, Turbulence, and Midnite to Rusko, Chopstick Dubplate, and Sara Lugo, and the list of his collaborations goes much further beyond those examples. Ben adds “As longtime fans of Lutan’s music, it is an honor to feature him in ‘Jump & Dance’ and to welcome him into the SunDub family. His vocal style is a perfect complement to Joanna’s - it really brought this track to the next level.”
Outside of the studio and off of the stage, the band members that make up SunDub put their talents to work in a myriad of ways: using their music as a platform to advocate for political movements, teaching music lessons to New York City youth, and collaborating with non-profits to create change, to name a few. Like so many other bands, SunDub was hit hard by the onset of the pandemic of 2020 — tours canceled, opportunities postponed, income lost. Instead of being discouraged, the band came together on a Brooklyn patio and figured out how to make the most of the situation. During weekly, COVID-safe live stream performances in the summer of 2020, SunDub raised over USD1,000 for the NAACP Education and Legal Defense Fund, using their platform to rally their community around the importance of political activism and dismantling unjust racial and societal structures.
Joanna concludes, “Similar to the nature of the song ‘Burn Down The Place’ from our first album, this song is an invitation to join SunDub nation and join with us on a crusade to create positive energy and community around music. ‘Jump and Dance’ is our mission statement driving this new era of SunDub music, asking people to leave behind violence, judgment and pettiness, and instead, to join together for joyful moments centered around dancing and the belief that music can heal and unite.”

Today rising pop singer-songwriter Alexa Cappelli, who MTV hailed as a “voice of a generation”, released her new single, “Temporary” via Arista Records. Alexa also released her fan-centric visualizer that adds an exclusive element to the song. Watch it HERE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TqF3z6rprs
Empowering, defiant and immediately catchy, “Temporary” explores the mixed emotions of breaking off a ‘situationship.’ Alexa adds, “‘Temporary’ is a nostalgic song that makes the future of my love life seem less daunting, being proud of myself for knowing what I want and not settling for anything less. When I wrote ‘Temporary,’ I had finally processed my previous summer situationship and how I ended things. It was the song I needed to remind myself that I did the right thing by not trying to change them. I want the kind of love that doesn’t need convincing, the love that is sure on both sides of the street.”
