Categories: Audio, Jazz, The Latest|Tags: , , , |

“-Whitney McClain- frankly tells us about her bright and strong feelings. The lyric joining at the beginning of the composition is interrupted with a juicy bit, increasing in the chorus and flowing into a melodic solo. Very expressive neo-soul for the soul.”

“-Whitney McClain- откровенно повествует о своих светлых и сильных чувствах. Лирическое вступление в начале композиции перебивается сочным битом, усиливающемся в припеве, перетекающий в мелодичное соло в проигрыше. Очень выразительный neo-soul для души.”

“Fall So Far” is a song about falling out of love and breaking up with someone that you thought the love you had would last forever.

At first glance, it’s an unbelievable story. However, it’s easy to believe as soon as you hear Whitney McClain sing…

Born and raised in Willamette Valley, Oregon, the singer and songwriter began singing as soon as she could talk. Music became her number one focus until two brain surgeries threatened her life. Emboldened by her family and faith, she recovered and immersed herself in music as soon as she could.

“I’m so blessed,” she comments. “Music has always spoken to me. It soothes my soul. Even during some difficult times, it’s music that helped me heal.”

Her music began to have the same effect on others almost immediately. Emerging in 2015, Whitney’s debut single “Bombs Away,” racked up over 1 million views on YouTube. Hot on its heels, she returned with the 2016 EP, Nothing To Lose, which spawned three singles that each joined the million views club. Meanwhile, she garnered a nomination from the Independent Music Awards for “Urban EP of the Year.”

Simultaneously, her songs impacted airwaves via iHeartRadio, Sirius/XM, Music Choice, and beyond, while Next2Shine touted her as “Artist of the Month,” and she garnered acclaim from Urban Vault and Prodigii Source One. A live force to be reckoned with, she joined heavy hitters such as The Ohio Players with a powerhouse performance of her own at the Soul’D Out Music Festival.

Following this success, she didn’t rest on her laurels. Instead, she went full steam ahead in the studio working on her second EP for Gold Dust LLC, releasing “Cruise” as a lead single and introduction to the next body of work.

After much acclaim and surpassing 1.7 million views with “Cruise,” the stage is now set for the unveiling of the follow-up single, “Fireplace;” a soulful love song with a vivid depiction of an irresistible love interest. Co-written by McClain and produced by popular U.K. production duo Da Beatfreakz, “Fireplace” does not disappoint and is another dynamic precursor to the forthcoming body of work.

It lays the perfect foundation for her EP, which harks back to a myriad of formative influences. “Co-writing and having more input on all of the tracks has allowed me to put my style on my new songs. I grew up listening to Motown, Michael Jackson, Earth, Wind & Fire, as well as Amy Winehouse, Beyoncé, and Adele, and I love trying to mix the old-school sound with my favorite influences. I am an old soul at heart.”

This old soul has a bright future ahead. “The goal is to keep going, to keep improving both as a person and an artist,” she concludes. “Hopefully, my music continues to reach and inspire people to overcome the hard times that can come up in life. Music is such an important part of my life and I believe it can speak for us when words are not enough. I hope to continue to share my story, my music, and see what doors God opens for me.”

Chain Of Islands – Shelter (Video)

Categories: Jazz, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , , , |

“Impressive accession, in the entire track with a shift in R & B that excites and paralyzes. Beautiful voice, gentle and measured bits, solid charm. -Shelter- leads on goosebumps with its angelic vocals and strong ending. Incredibly nice to listen and enjoy.”

“Впечатляющее вступление, а весь трек с уклоном в R&B возбуждает и парализует. Прекрасный припев, нежный и размеренный бит, слушать который сплошное очарование. -Shelter- пробирает на мурашки, ангельские голоса вокалистов, сильная концовка, невероятно приятно слушать и наслаждаться.”

-Nagamag.com

Chain of Islands has premiered the official music video for their latest ballad track “Shelter” exclusively on CLOUT. The pop duo – made up of Nick Goins and Derek Vautrinot – have creatively crafted a video that not only offers fans a beautiful performance of the track, but gives a sense of nostalgia with its black and white film elements reminiscent of old-Hollywood film. The duo’s performance in the visual is an emotional reflection of the song’s meaning of healing, and having faith in one’s own strength.

“The video for ‘Shelter’ is an effort to capture the feeling of self reflection throughout the times. An isolated moment on the couch when you can take an honest look inward to reflect on who you are and where you’re going, and how the feeling must have felt in any era, past to future.” – Chain of Islands

Chain of Islands is a pop duo originally formed in Boston, MA and currently split between Orange County, CA and Providence, RI. Nick and Derek both met through playing in heavier rock acts (Lions Lions and Que Sera) from the New England area. After years of heavily touring the rock/hardcore scene, both members decided to collaborate and pursue new creative avenues leading to the birth of Chain of Islands. The band is excited to release their debut EP slated for release this summer.

Dutch Falconi – La Amante Del Inquisidor (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Features, Jazz, Jazz Features, The Latest|Tags: , , , |

“-La amante del Inquisidor- made from soft and very pleasant percussion, jazz elements and live music. All this is really sedative for the soul. It happens that you do not know what to expect from the next portion of this being revered by many genres, but this composition is acting in a special way. Unforgettable impression!”

“-La Amante Del Inquisidor- мягкая и очень приятная перкуссия, джазовые элементы, живая музыка, всё это настоящее успокоительное для души. Бывает, что не знаешь чего ожидать от очередной порции этого почитаемого многими жанра, но эта композиция воздействует особым образом. Незабываемое впечатление!”

-Nagamag.com

Composer Dutch Falconi’s sophomore solo album, Curious Fabrications, out on Aurore Records July 23rd, is a sonic sleight of hand. It’s a film noir-ish adventure set in the big, cold, naked city, with the songs functioning as a roadmap for the intrepid listener to follow. Each track is a puzzle piece in the unfolding of the listener’s personalized narrative, one motivated by the fruitful ambiguity of the music. Is it a crime you’re solving? Probably. Are there clues? Everywhere. Are there dangerous and sexy characters to encounter? You bet. Hang onto your seats.

https://www.facebook.com/DutchFalconiMusician/

“I hope the pieces themselves lead to narratives conjured up in the mind of the listener. I prefer an unfixed perspective with music where the listener participates by bringing their own imagination to the pieces, and that contributes to their perception of the album. They’re part of the ensemble that way,” the Sacramento, California-based artist shares.

In the heyday of the 1990’s swing revival movement, Dutch led The Dutch Falconi Orchestra, a 27-piece swing orchestra juggernaut, replete with go-go dancers. From 1989-2000, he was the band’s benevolent dictator and composer, conductor, mechanic, bank and therapist. The small city of a group made 3 three records and shared stages with the big cats of the day like Cherry Poppin’ Daddies and the Royal Crown Revue. Dutch retired from the bandstand to pursue other creative ventures outside of music, but in 2020 resurfaced with a clutch of singles and a wildly eclectic solo debut, Bloom & Brimstone.

Curious Fabrications builds upon the success of his first solo bow, and like that album Dutch is the sole writer, player/performer, and producer. The similarities stop there. In keeping with the overarching theme of fruitful ambiguity, Dutch has created a swing album where nearly everything is synthetic and virtual with a tiny tidbit of Dutch’s actual playing. This album is a showcase for Dutch’s original swing era compositions, his flamboyant musicality, and his fearless imagination.

The single, La Amante Del Inquisidor, slinks forth with theatrical flair. The song exudes a hard-to-pin-down ethnic quality, and instead of being an appropriation, it is a melting pot of sounds. The tune boasts a vaguely klezmer melody set into a mildly Spanish flamenco framework performed with 40’s Latin dance band instrumentation. It’s an intriguing mélange of cultures and sounds that could possibly only come to fruition while twiddling one’s thumbs during pandemic downtime. “For me, the lockdown brought the delicious opportunity to stretch out,” Dutch shares. “I had the luxury of time to experiment. I frequently set out to reorder and recombine elements from tangentially related styles. The intention was to hit on some crooked math, like, 1+1+1=4, where the sum of the parts might make something surprising and unexpected. Something beautiful, wild and curious while being charged with passion and mystery.”

Tewksbury – Sitaantaago Elegy (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Neoclassical, The Latest|Tags: , , |

“The traditional feature of neoclassical music has always been that it is able to awaken the most hidden feelings while we stayed for the dark stubs. -Sitaantaago Elegy- is interesting, multifaceted and memorable music, which should certainly be included in the playlist of each one.”

“Традиционной чертой неоклассической музыки всегда было то, что она способна пробудить самые скрытые чувства, пока мы оставались за тёмной ширмой суеты. -Sitaantaago Elegy- интересная, многогранная и запоминающаяся музыка, которая непременно должна быть в плейлисте каждого из нас.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared with Nagamag few words behind this inspiration:

"This track is one track off 'Paths, a musical work of original compositions for piano and electronic instruments, which turns to look directly at climate change, trying to find hope in these dark times for our planet. It is inspired by my travels to glaciers, tundra, and ice-covered lands, including Norway, Newfoundland, Alaska, Sweden, Ontario, and elsewhere.

In these places, I was witnessing such impossible beauty in the ice, the stillness of objective time, the slow beauty of nature. These were places so remarkable that I could barely believe they existed. Yet there was a sadness hovering over each of these experiences, that these things will soon be lost. And maybe we, as a species, will be lost, too..."
