This is the fourth track from Diane and her longtime GRAMMY-nominated composing and producing partner David Arkenstone on their new album, written from the Queen’s perspective, ‘Avalon: Between Earth and Sky’. "We both love Celtic history, myths and magic, which is why we wrote the first Avalon album. And this new album is the continuation of the first one but from the feminine point of view, as the feminine energy gains power and recognition in the world, and keeps Avalon alive, on into the future.” ‘The White Stallion’ is an orchestral and cinematic masterpiece that “represents the rise of a spiritual energy, leaving behind negative energies, so as to create a more compassionate, loving world”. Diane's music has been featured on Amazon's Spa and Meditation channels for many years, and the original Avalon album has garnered millions of streams since release. This is a gorgeous fantasy album with full orchestration, live players, and vocalizations.

Jake Scott began his career in 2013 with the release of his first EP, Of Life and Love and Longing. The project debuted on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and quickly caught the attention of industry professionals. Shortly after, the Arkansas-native signed a publishing contract with Grammy-award winning songwriter David Hodges and moved to Los Angeles. He spent several years writing and producing songs for other artists, including Jason Mraz, Aloe Blacc and more.
Following his time in the trenches of the Los Angeles songwriting circles, Jake decided to commit himself to releasing, writing and self-producing a song every month for as long as possible. He began this process in January 2018 with the song Tuesdays, which has since earned nearly 30M streams. He recently ended his song-per-month release strategy in December 2020 -- accumulating 250M+ streams, 3M+ monthly listeners, and selling out his first headline tour in the process.
Looking ahead, Jake is releasing his first formal project this summer. Jake said about the project, “The project is the story of realization, accepting the difficult truth and having the courage to let go.” The single “Off” will be available in April.
Throughout Jake’s entire career as an artist, he has remained 100% independent by choice.
Dimitri Monstein – Step It Up
“Cheerful Neoclassical composition with light interspersed Jazz mood. A wonderful world is created by Dimitri Monstein, who surprises with the beauty of his patterns, the quality of performance and the general presentation of sound.”
“Мажорная, бодрая неоклассическая композиция с лёгкими вкраплениями джазовго настроения. Прекрасный мир, созданный автором, который удивляет красотой пассажей, качеством исполнения и общей подачей материала.”

Step It Up is a repetitive groove Song, kind of inspired by electro swing but it's still in Dimitri Monstein's style. In the middle part is a spheric cello solo with synths. A catchy track, makes happy and is possible to dance with a note of jazz/improvisation in the middle.
