Arrowsmith – Nocturn – Live
(Spotify)

“Sounds of the ocean combine with felted-piano and soft delay to create a luscious atmosphere of calm and reflection in this piece by Arrowsmith. Nocturn (Live) is a gentle track, perfect for taking the time to indulge in quiet contemplation or relaxation at the end of the day.

Artist shared few words with Nagamag behind this inspiration:

"This is the second part to a three part release I have created. The concept behind the music was to remove the separation between my ambient captures and musical compositions by physically recording it all in the same space.

You can see from the cover photo that I put a piano on a beach in order to capture the sounds I wanted. If it is of interest to you you can also view the video that I created via the below link. https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/560284194 " - Arrowsmith

Anton Commissaris – That Look About You (Tropicale)
(Spotify)

“Take a trip back to the 1940’s with Anton Commissaris & ‘That Look About You (Tropicale)’ a rhythmic reminder of the jazz infused, latin style cha cha cha music so popular during that era. Think Hollywood, Frank Sinatra, Veronica Lake, dancing to Bossa Nova music in a bar in Havana. ”

-Nagamag.com

The song is a rhythmic jazz infused Latin cha cha cha. It is based on a glamorous Hollywood 1940s starlet who could dance like no other and who, though appearing otherwise caucasian, had a Latin father. She intoxicated men with her looks, flamboyant dancing style, and independent attitude.

Anton Commissaris is a music composer, pianist, and vocalist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Anton loves all music but has a special place in his heart for Jazz, which he acquired from an early age. Anton’s inspiration comes from some of Jazz music’s greatest composers: Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, and Antonio Carlos Jobim. But it was the amazing music of Lennon and McCartney that first inspired Anton to try his hand at music composition. Among Anton's favorite male vocalists are Frank Sinatra, Nat King Kole, and Ray Charles. His favorite female vocalists are Sarah Vaughan, Etta James, and Amy Winehouse. In Anton's debut album/EP "On A Bright Note" he's sought to explore some different genres/styles of Jazz with a Latin number, a swing tune, a ballad, and a blues piece.

Richie Necker – He Was the King
(Spotify)

“The quality of the musicianship is the first thing that hits you right between the eyes quickly followed by the flawless production and superb guitar parts played by Richie Necker. With a distinct Country Rock flavour and smooth vocals, ‘He Was The King’ has a raunchy Steely Dan type vibe complete with brass, saxophone solos and a mellow pedal steel for good measure. Great Track.”

-Nagamag.com

Asong off new album "New songs and untold stories"

Richie Necker has often excited his audience in germany and in neighboring european countries with his stage appearance, his guitar playing and his distinctive voice. He regularly plays over 200 concerts a year, solo or as a band member, and has accompanied many well-known stars as a “sideman” on tour, in studio and on TV shows.

The “Guitar Man” now presents his fifth solo release with the upcoming album “New songs and untold stories”. The songs are carried by wonderful melodies and strong hook lines. His music has a deep personal and emotional ambition that convinces the listener - direct, straightforward, authentic. You can immediately feel the emotions and the strong musical nature that has already stood and still stands on countless stages internationally.

Richie's life is the music, and so the "lockdown" in November 2020 was the trigger to dedicate himself to the production of a new solo album and to counter the generally unfortunate situation with his music. Because there are always enough “New songs and untold stories” to sing and tell. And that's exactly what Richie does almost single-handedly on the album. Guitar pop and rock, singer / songwriter and “Americana” songs, ballads and guitar instrumentals convince from the very first listen - direct, straightforward, authentic. Carried by wonderful melodies, strong hook lines, immediately noticeable emotions and deep musicality, which Richie Necker shows also regularly on countless stages internationally.

"Give me a new song - every day!" is Richie's answer to the current situation for musicians. So take every day as it comes, make the best of it, make music, write new songs, do your “own thing”, keep rocking through the crisis !

Short biographie:

Since 2002 he has been a member of the Europe-wide successful Italo band "I Dolci Signori", and was on stage for several years with the cabaret artist Hannes Ringlstetter (2012-2016). Since 2017 he can also be seen in theaters as a musician and performer of the successful musical "Azzurro".

Lara Hope and the Ark-Tones – Let’s Go!
(Spotify)

“A song to remind you to ‘Keep Going’ and push harder to reach your goals when things don’t go right, or people let you down. A raunchy rockabilly style track that really motors along and encourages plenty of foot tapping. The gritty vocals by Lara Hope add another dimension to this boppy and thoroughly enjoyable ditty. ”

-Nagamag.com

Lara Hope & the Ark-Tones’ single 'Let's Go!' is a rock solid ball of fire that will get you motivated to make your move! The song appears on their upcoming album, Here To Tell The Tale, due out on June 25. It’s a rockabilly rollick that you owe it to yourself to check out.

Hope shares, “I wrote ‘Let’s Go!’ after experiencing a big life letdown. I think everyone has had someone say that they want to help you, but actually end up slowing you down or even hindering your progress. ‘Let’s Go’ is an anthem to remind us to keep going when that happens, and to push even harder to pursue our goals.”

In 2020, one of the most particularly eventful years in the last decades, Sandhog decided to get his butt out of the studio and publish his tracks. And what's the idea behind this project? Not giving a damn about musical trends. It's about composing peak time house music with a pile of emotions and good vibes.

Joshua Carlton – Remember me as light
(Video)

“Field recordings and gentle piano soothe the listener in Joshua Carlton’s Remember Me As Light. An evocative piece that lulls the listener gently as it weaves it’s calming magic. The track feels agonisingly brief, but that only adds to its mystery and allure. ”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared few words for the story of this song with Nagamag:

“This is the closing song from my full length album titled moonlight under the black flag. I really love the gentle nature as the piano slowly grows and the ambience takes over With a sudden stop into nothingness.” – Joshua Carlton

https://www.facebook.com/JoshuaCarltonMusic

Oregon instrumentalist Joshua Carlton toured the world with post rock band This Patch of Sky for the last decade. This lead him to compose music for television and film such as ‘Brand, a Second Coming’ (a documentary film on actor Russell Brand and his battle with drug addiction), and the Vice channel. He has also been featured in the McDonald’s Ramadan commercial, as well as large brands such as Petco. Joshua’s excited to share his new solo project. “This is an album that I absolutely had to write” he says of 2021 debut ‘Moonlight Under the Black Flag’. Joshua was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in February of 2020 and found solace in purging his emotions through the music he was composing. “This music is truly my heart, and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed creating it”.

Kate Vargas – Church of the Misdirection
(Spotify)

“Unique, raunchy, quirky & ever so slightly intoxicating. Allow yourself to be seduced by the silver tongued Kate Vardas as she is unwittingly transformed into an enthusiastic spiritual predator, & convinces you become a follower of the ‘Church Of Misdirection’. Go on. You know you want to.”

-Nagamag.com

“Church Of The Misdirection” was loosely inspired by Ma Anand Sheela from the documentary ‘Wild, Wild Country ’where a woman becomes enamored by a charming self-help/cult leader. The two fly all over the world together, having fancy dinners, going to parties, and living that lifestyle. She begins to feel the charming man really “gets” her and that they connect on some kind of deeper level. In “Church Of The Misdirection,” Kate sings about how Ma Anand Sheela goes from a seeker/follower, to a recruiter of sorts.

https://www.instagram.com/KateVargasMusic/

Kate shares, “We can sell anything, even the most preposterous ideas/flimsiest spiritual beliefs, if it looks good on the outside, if we speak about it enthusiastically. What started as a simple search to find oneself, to connect with the world, sees this person being transformed into a kind of “spiritual” predator without her ever knowing.”
