Alyssa Jacey is a multi-genre, award-winning singer/songwriter, inspirational career coach, and professional dancer/choreographer. Her other love affairs like motivational speaking, acting, modeling, improv musical comedy, and TV Hosting became more than just part-time passions after moving to Nashville nearly 10 years ago from her hometown San Diego, California. Her infectious personality, easy-going music, and smooth vocals make Jacey a deeply original artist. With her many fans, including legendary artist manager, Doc McGhee (Bon Jovi, Kiss, Motley Crue, Darius Rucker), and Ron Delsener (President of Live Nation, NYC) this quintuple threat cannot be overlooked! Jacey was about to turn 24 when she learned she could sing for the first time. Until the stage became her second home as an artist, she had unknowingly been greatly influenced over the years by the vocal stylings of Sarah McLachlan, Joss Stone, Amy Grant, and Jewel, which fans later would credit for her honey-like tone. Other vocal comparisons have been made to Norah Jones, Sheryl Crow, and Alison Krauss, as well as Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell. However, when you take a listen to her catalog of over 400 songs (a quarter of them released), you’ll notice she only sounds like one person…herself

Jon Thorstensen – Secret Place
(Spotify)

“Norwegian composer, guitarist Jon Thorstensen has gathered around him a band of superb musicians to deliver this modern day Jazz / Funk classic. Positively oozing with quality, ‘Secret Place’ is everything you would expect from such an accomplished ensemble. It’s creative, inventive it’s familiar and above all, it’s class.”

-Nagamag.com

Secret Place is instrumental jazz created by the Norwegian composer and guitar player Jon Thorstensen. The reminiscence of Steely Dan might come to mind in the harmonic language and the interplay between guitar and horn section. Inspiration comes from different musical sources for instance guitar slingers like John Scofield, Mike Stern, Jim Hall and John Abercrombie to The Meters and Earth Wind & Fire.

Elliot Cole: Bloom ft. Jordan Dodson, Gabriel Cabezas, and Stas Chernyshev
(Video)

“The patterning of Elliot Cole’s amazing piece in four parts for guitar, cello and clarinet is inspired by digital delay audio effects, only played live. It is an experience, rather than just a piece of music, one that demands the full attention of the listener. The guitar playing is at times sublime, the percussive range of the cello is on full display and the clarinet completes the trio to perfection.”

-Nagamag.com

Bloom is a fast and intense trio for guitarist Jordan Dodson, clarinetist Stas Chernyshev, and cellist Gabe Cabezas (Paul Simon). Its patterning is inspired by digital delay audio effects used in electronic music production, but with the echoes all played live. It’s the opening set of my album Nightflower. (It’s 1 piece in 4 parts — all one track on YouTube, but broken out into 4 tracks on Spotify.)

Elliot Cole (*1984) is a composer, music technologist, and “charismatic contemporary bard” (NY Times). He scored Evolver (e.d. Terrence Malick), alongside Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead) and Wu Tang Clan, and he has written for and performed with GRAMMY Winners Roomful of Teeth, GRAMMY Nominees A Far Cry and Metropolis Ensemble, as well as Alkemie Early Music Ensemble, the Lucerne Festival Academy, and as a member of the book-club-band Oracle Hysterical. His percussion music evokes “sparkling icicles of sound” (Rolling Stone) and has been performed by over 250 ensembles all over the world, including the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, the Swedish Royal Opera, the Toho Orchestra Academy in Japan, and at the Big Ears music festival. Community performances of his Flowerpot Music through Make Music Day are becoming an annual tradition; in 2021 over 500 participants brought the piece to parks in 40 cities around the world. He has taught courses at Juilliard, Princeton, Manhattan School of Music, and The New School, and was invited to Google to share his explorations in music through computer programming. He is currently on faculty at the The New School and Juilliard Evening Division, and is Program Director of Musicambia at Sing Sing, where he runs a music school for incarcerated men.

RANI delivers a love-filled summer with Sugar Rush

https://rani.lnk.to/SUGARRUSH

She is the voice of Sam Feldt’s hit song Post Malone, and collaborated with David Guetta on the single ‘Get Together’. Earlier, we saw RANI release two EPs of her own. Now RANI releases her third solo EP, called EP6.

https://www.facebook.com/RANIOFFICIAL2020

Out now RANI’s new single Sugar Rush, the first of three tracks on her latest EP: EP6. An EP dedicated to love and all its facets, as RANI herself explains:

‘We feel love in all kinds of ways and forms. EP6 is about love for the people around me. About falling in love, that high feeling and those crazy feelings you get the moment you really like someone. It’s about friendship and the worries you can have about someone. But also about the dark side of love and going through the pain of a broken heart’.

https://www.instagram.com/shannonrani_/

In addition to Sugar Rush, EP6 also features tracks Mr. Perfect and Rewind, a sneak preview of the debut album 396 that will be released later this year. Earlier, we saw RANI release her first two solo EPs: EP3 and EP9. The three tracks on EP6 showcase another fine piece of songwriting. RANI writes with a vulnerability and honesty about finding her way to adulthood and all of that in a pop/R&B/hip-hop sauce. Something the singer will be able to show live in November when she performs as a support act during Greyson Chance’s European tour. This will be followed by another tour of RANI along the Dutch pop stages.

RANI saw her breakthrough in 2019 and could be heard on Sam Feldt’s hit Post Malone. Earlier this year, she also saw the release of ‘Get Together’, on which she collaborated with David Guetta as singer and co-writer. This single was part of a global campaign for Tuborg. Her previous releases EP3 and EP9 were received with great enthusiasm at home and abroad. The international music blog Unheard Gems wrote that RANI is ‘fast becoming the new queen of R&B pop’. MTV also named her MTV Push Artist of the Month in March this year and she became Kickstart Artist at XITE in April. According to Glamour, RANI is ‘the empowering singer that the Netherlands needs’.

Mark Kelly & The Peaceful Warriors – See You Again
(Spotify)

“-See You Again- is a very beautiful and high-quality work. It has elegant Indie Folk acoustic melody and a pleasant rhythm section. All this emphasizes the overall sound quality. Also its warm Summer vocals create a stunning product worthy of your collection!”

“-See You Again- это очень красивое и качественное произведение. Элегантная акустическая мелодия, идеальный симбиоз indie folk и приятной ритм-секции. Всё это подчёркивает общее качество музыки, а тёплый, летний вокал создаёт потрясающее произведение достойное вашей коллекции!”

-Nagamag.com

Composed during the first lockdown of Spring 2020, « See You Again » examines the feeling of isolation and the difficulties of not being able to see each other in real. Not to touch, feel, kiss nor hug one another. A sense of helplessness reinforced by geographical distance: Mark Kelly is based in Vevey, Switzerland, and his mother lives in Manchester. For months, they could only talk virtually, whilst he usually went back to his native England regularly to see his relatives and friends. The song evokes all the small moments from daily life (saying hello to strangers on the street, drinking a coffee on a crowded terrace, etc.) that used to seem so mundane and natural, but that quickly got a different meaning when absent. A cry from the heart to express the need and joy of seeing other people again.

“See You Again” is the first single by the new project Mark Kelly & The Peaceful Warriors. It is taken from an album set for early 2022.

Josh Orange – I Feel Love
(Spotify)

“Dimensional rhythm, smooth and hypnotic pace along with a beautiful melody and vocals acting as a drinking glass of good weathered wine. The expressive side of -I Feel Love- is its cinematic side. There is a persistent feeling that you are sitting on a chair on the other side of the screen, where the white string is running on a black canvas like in a film ending.”

“Размеренный ритм, ровный и гипнотический темп вместе с красивой мелодией и вокалом действуют как выпитый бокал хорошего выдержанного вина. Выразительная сторона музыки - I Feel Love- это её кинематографичная сторона. Возникает стойкое чувство, что ты сидишь на кресле по ту сторону экрана, где на чёрном полотне бежит белая строка только что завершившегося фильма.”

-Nagamag.com

I Feel Love is the fourth single taken from Josh Orange’s album “Midnight Lights”, as Burke explains the song……’It’s a dedication, a way of paying homage to the sheer beauty of the album “Rrakala” and the impact it had on me personally & spiritually when I first heard it.’

The First Nations artist from Elcho Island in far north Arnhem Land was born blind, yet by the age of 18 he was singing and playing in legendary band Yothu Yindi, he then went on to Co Found Saltwater band with the help of his great friend, producer and fellow musician Michael Hohnen. Worldwide fame finally came when he went solo and released four studio albums “Gurrumul” 2008, “Rrakala” 2011, “The Gospel Album” 2015 & posthumously “Djarimirri” 2018. Sadly, Dr. G Yunupingu passed away at age 46 in 2017. He sang in his native Yolnu tongue with a voice that is beyond comparison, it combined both beauty and pain in its purist form.
