Thomas Hewitt Jones – Wonder (Spotify)
“The sound that can leave breathless... press in your chest and force the lungs empty from air. Yes, these sensations arise when we play the neoclassical composition -Wonder-. Emotions are poured across the edge of a raging icy river. Do not be afraid, because each second worths the listening.”
“Дыхание перехватывает от кома в горле, давит в груди, воздуха не хватает и в глазах пелена. Да. Именно такие ощущения возникают, стоит лишь включить неоклассическую композицию -Wonder-. Эмоции через край льются бурлящей ледяной рекой. Не бойтесь, каждая секунда того стоит.”
-Nagamag.com
Wonder' explores hope and optimism for the future, attributes which I feel the world needs right now. It is intended to be hopeful, mystic and ultimately uplifting. Thank you for listening.

DJ Soulbase, Lence George – Follow You (Spotify)
“-Follow you is a bouquet of sincerity. Exciting, happy story filled with meaning. Drown in harmony of words and melodies? Easily! Intoxicate with the rhythms of Afrobeats? Yes, easily! While Walking down the street, it will sound in your head and will immediately want to sing!”
“-Follow You- это букет искренности. Волнующая, счастливая история наполненная смыслом. Утонуть в гармонии слов и мелодии? Легко! Опьянеть от ритмов афробита? Да запросто! Гуляя по улице она будет звучать в вашей голове словно заколдованная вам сразу захочется петь!”
-Nagamag.com
Lence George and DJ Soulbase released "Follow You", a romantic summer banger that is difficult to sit still. The song is about the euphoric ambivalence between following the one you love and listening to others' worries.
The song was created in their first session together.
"We were really only going to check the vibe, but in two sessions we probably made songs for a small record."
Lence George, originally from Lagos in Nigeria, has recently released a number of Afro Fusion singles. His music is with an undeniable Nigerian touch, a style that has exploded worldwide in recent years. He is also strongly inspired by American R&B and Country songwriting.
DJ Soulbase has made music with many of the greatest artists in Norway, but is perhaps best known for his afrobeats and most recently as one of the people behind the label Iskald Sound, who has made a name for himself via unforgettable evenings in Oslo pre-Covid.

Mirabai Ceiba and Markéta Irglová – Take On a Thousand Forms [Official Music Video] (Video)
“This composition for a moment hugs the listener with fragile shoulders and makes it clear that won’t let him go. It turned out burning so beautifully, that without listening, it would have been a big mistake. Beautiful acoustic work with an incredible vocal strength.”
“Эта композиция в мгновение обнимает своего слушателя за хрупкие плечи и даёт понять, что уже не отпустит. Получилось настолько прекрасно, животрепещуще, что не послушав её, было бы большой ошибкой. Прекрасное акустическое произведение с невероятным по силе своей вокалом.”
-Nagamag.com
The serene beauty of duo Mirabai Ceiba’s upcoming album The Quiet Hour is a timely antidote, set for an August 27th release on Spirit Voyage. Mastered by Martyn Heyne (7K!), gently plucked strings and beckoning textures lead the listener on an inward journey of calm centeredness. Angelika Baumbach’s voice wells up like an undulating stream, blossoming forth with sublime poetry.
The deep, loving bond between Baumbach and her musical life partner—multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Markus Sieber (Aukai)—is palpable, as their instruments and voices intertwine on Mirabai Ceiba’s most intimate and meditative album to date.
“Take On A Thousand Forms” is the stunning new collaboration with Czech singer-songwriter Markéta Irglová (best known for her role in 2007’s Once and its Oscar winning song “Falling Slowly”). The song was created for a poem by Johann Wolfgang Goethe, and is out today. It embraces calm acoustics, an inward pulse, and the defining quality of silence.

Chris Wirsig, Daniel E. Wakefield – Time Running (Spotify)
“Sensual vocal pleasure, an ensemble from the living orchestra which in the aggregate will break your heart in pieces, which was too far to captivate with the body. -Time Running- fills with warm sensations that smoothly cool and create a chilling wave of goosebumps under your skin.”
“Чувственное наслаждение от вокала, ансамбля из живого оркестра, что в совокупности разобьёт ваше сердце на пазлы, которое слишком долго был в плену тела. -Time Running- наполняет тёплыми ощущениями, которые плавно остывают и создают прохладную волну мурашек под кожей.”
-Nagamag.com
Inspired by the series "Outlander," Daniel E. Wakefield and Chris Wirsig wrote a hauntingly beautiful, poetic song that captures Scottish and Americana elements. "Time Running" conveys the eternal longing you feel when standing on the cliffs of Scotland or standing in the vast plains of the American heartland. A cinematic experience.
