Santiago Delacruz – Your Broken Heart Awakens
“Broken hearts need the suitable music to recover and Santiago Delacruz has the answer. Fine melodies of Solo Piano are ready to shed their light in your dark mood. Starting slowly and progressing on a more vigorous pace, this piece can awaken your senses.”
-Nagamag.com
This is a classical contemporary, solo piano song. Emotionally for me the song is one of triumph after a fall - the courage to begin again. There are hints of jazz in the piano chord voicings and in the syncopated feel of some areas. But mostly it is a sweeping and romantic.
Zach Mayer – XX Clouds
“And there is no better medicine in the world than the Minimal House alluring rhythms. We advise you to put on the headphones and plunge into this track so deeply as to hear all the variety of sound effects with which it is saturated.

Miller Roberts – Bad Habit (Live from Mahogany Studios)
“The sensations of listening are indescribable - a real kaleidoscope of feelings that pour on you from heaven with an ongoing heavy rain. The atmosphere of this instrumental track is all -consuming, capable of stealing your soul forever.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Ощущения от прослушивания непередаваемые — настоящий калейдоскоп чувств, которые выливаются на вас с небес непрекращающимся проливным дождём. Атмосфера этого инструментального трека всепоглощающая, способная похитить вашу душу навеки.”

Miller Roberts is the moniker of 25 year old songwriter Millie Robertson from Newcastle, Australia. The daughter of a travelling preacher and one of five children, Roberts grew up regularly performing impromptu musical numbers and sing-alongs with her siblings.
Heavily influenced by her parents’ love for James Taylor and Carole King, Roberts has always had an affection for folk music. In recent years, artists like Justin Vernon, Sufjan Stevens, The Paper Kites and Lucy Rose have become a key inspiration behind her work. Collaborating with local producer Jackson Barclay, the two have created a sound that is the perfect blend of acoustic folk and alternative pop. Five years in the making and in many ways a slow burn, this project is the unearthing of a hidden creative process. With soft, lilting melodies and painfully honest lyrics, Roberts’ carefully crafted brand is more than enough to put her on the map as one of Australia’s most exciting new talents.
Tara MacLean – If I Fall
“Enjoy the angelic vocal -tara maclean-, its strong and emotional side, a unique timbre and a combination of elements of academic and pop music. Listening to this composition, you understand that music is one of the wonders of the world, like the divine voice -tara maclean-.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Наслаждайтесь ангельским вокалом -Tara MacLean-, его сильной и эмоциональной стороной, уникальным тембром и сочетанием элементов академической и поп-музыки. Слушая эту композицию понимаешь, что музыка это одно из чудес света, как и божественный голос -Tara MacLean-.”
-Nagamag.com
Internationally acclaimed Canadian East Coast singer/songwriter Tara MacLean is releasing a new version of her 2000 hit song, “If I Fall.” The re-recorded version comes from her new album, Sparrow.
The song was originally intended to be an upbeat and inspiring theme song for a TV show. Tara had never written music for anyone other than herself, and found that it was a wonderful exercise that allowed her to be unabashedly hooky in her approach. With this song, Tara wanted people to feel like there was nothing they couldn’t do.
“I love this part of the song because in re-recording it, I realized how prophetic this song has been for me, in my search for stillness, in my dreams coming true,” says Tara. “Now I look at my life and career and see how I have achieved so much of what I set out to do, and this song was a vehicle that brought me there.”
Her new album, Sparrow, is a companion soundtrack to her upcoming memoir about her life in music, which will be released with a major publisher in March 2023. The album is a reimagined collection of her past work, as well as brand new material.

Solos – Joy
“Soft and very sentimental vocals, intriguing with its emotional impulses. Gradually increasing acoustic melody Chamber Pop, so mental and touching that you can go crazy! Music, capable of touching you so deeply that you feel the brackish taste of tears on your lips.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Мягкий и очень сентиментальный вокал, интригующий своими эмоциональными порывами. Постепенно нарастающая акустическая мелодия chamber pop, такая душевная и трогательная, что можно сойти с ума! Музыка, способная задеть вас так глубоко, что вы почувствуйте солоноватый вкус слёз на своих губах.”

Melanie MacLaren – Orion
“Sometimes I really want to leave our planet at least for a moment in order to admire the stars that are distant and beckoning us with their dazzling light. And it is at such moments that the atmosphere of Indie Folk helps, and the new composition from -Mlanie Maclaren- will help you fulfill your cherished dream.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Иногда так хочется покинуть нашу планету хотя бы на мгновение, чтобы полюбоваться далёкими и манящими нас к себе своим ослепительным светом звёздами. И именно в такие минуты помогает атмосфера indie folk, а новая композиция от -Melanie MacLaren- поможет вам осуществить вашу заветную мечту.”
-Nagamag.com
Orion is a dreamy indie-folk ballad with flashes of classic Americana sensibilities. The sentimental cynicism of the lyrics are reminiscent of today’s indie-folk powerhouses like Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus, but the urgency of the lyrics reflect a self-destructive desire to make up for lost time in a post-pandemic world in a way that hasn’t yet been articulated musically. This urgency, however, is soothed by the song’s production as ethereal synth arpeggios and whirling pedal steel wrap the lyrics in a sense of comfort—making Orion a shimmering and bittersweet ode to memorable nights and the hold they have on us. This single follows Melanie MacLaren's debut EP Kill My Time, which was released in February of this year.

Roberto Tardito – Un quarto di limone
“How many feelings, love and emotions in vocals -berto tardito-. The vibrations of his voice are capable of burning more than fire and at the same time there is a powerful energy flow in it. Beautiful, very melodic, acoustic composition.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Как много чувств, любви и эмоций в вокале -Roberto Tardito-. Вибрации его голоса способны обжечь сильнее огня и при этом в нём присутствует мощный энергетический поток. Прекрасная, очень мелодичная, акустическая композиция.”

English:
It seems that every now and then the stories end, so they say. Love songs are always tragic, and it can only be like this: when things go well one deals with something else, he certainly doesn't write songs.
I have described a now irrecoverable situation in which, however, the protagonist begins to see a distant light that will surely bring something good.
Musically we chose to make the song very open: me, Tyler and Nick played all the acoustic guitars, the pedal steel guitar and the slide trying to recall those typically American atmospheres, especially in the crescendo.
Itallian:
Pare che ogni tanto le storie finiscano, così dicono. Le canzoni d’amore sono sempre tragiche, e non può che essere così: quando le cose vanno bene uno si occupa di altro, non scrive certo delle canzoni.
Ho descritto una situazione ormai irrecuperabile nella quale, però, il protagonista inizia a vedere una luce lontana che porterà sicuramente qualcosa di buono.
Musicalmente abbiamo scelto di rendere il brano molto aperto: io, Tyler e Nick abbiamo suonato tutte le chitarre acustiche, la pedal steel guitar e la slide cercando di richiamare quelle atmosfere tipicamente americane, soprattutto nei crescendo.
Nick R. Francis: pedal steel guitar, slide guitar
Scott Gravin: percussion
Tyler Jewell: acoustic guitars
Roberto Tardito: acoustic guitars, electric guitars, piano
Nicolas Wade: double bass
Thomas Williams: cello

“You have two ways -either you stay on the platform, or buy a train ticket and go on this fascinating journey with -izanah Jones-. In your hands, the guitar, against the background of the light rustle of the rhythm reggae, and ahead of the far road of miracles ahead.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“У вас есть два выхода — либо вы остаётесь на платформе, либо покупаете билет на поезд и отправляйтесь в это увлекательное путешествие вместе с -Izanah Jones-. В ваших руках гитара, на фоне лёгкий шелест ритма reggae, а впереди дальняя дорога чудес.”
