Today's Listening Session: Lindsay Mac "Remember"

Crossing genres is never an easy to take on, though Lindsay Mac seems to have gotten the hang of it. Her new single "Remember" lives up to the name with a dose of Pop in the mix. The track is not over the top, and is most definitely an enjoyable one. “I wanted my own music to be a physical experience again - to emulate that feeling where it just seeps into your body and you feel it in your chest,” tells Lindsay Mac.

Fractal Control: Spiritually Hits Home

Mike Louttit is Fractal Control. Lately I have been shedding my realm, and expanding into new territory. Opening my musical brain I have become open to new and different music that not only tells a story but captures my attention. Fractal Control plays instrumental heavy rock that appeals to a wide realm. One of the most notable things about the story behind the new record "Disconnection Equals Freedom" is the use of political statement...without the use of any words. All feelings are portrayed through Mike Louttit's guitar. Fascinating from start to finish, this polished piece of work is a statement both musically and socially. The labor of love is evident Fractal Control's latest single "Starved for Change" which is available now. https://soundcloud.com/fractalcontrol/starved-for-change

Today's Listening Session: Ewa Angeli "In Night's Still Silence"

Ewa Angeli proves that there is heaven on earth. In the spirit of the upcoming holiday season her angel-like voice ebbs and flows throughout her new release, "In Night's Still Silence." Being of Polish descent myself, this album hit close to home with me. Ewa Angeli's beautifully accomplished work on this record is worth the listen. Ewa has taken traditional Polish songs and translated them into English. The music that presented is a touching array of songs that will enlighten your holidays.

Today's Listening Session: JES "Sky Stand Still"

JES is a name to watch out for in the world of music. Her musical background is outstanding and it is interesting how she has come out of a dance music oriented background, and has provided a new sound with the single “Sky Stand Still,” from The Principle Movie. JES voice is strong and vivid and the lyrics speak volumes in what she is trying to portray for the film. JES’ new sound is sweet on the ears and at the same time brings a lot of impact.

Today's Listening Session: Ewen Queffeleant "JBF Composition de Ewen Queffeleant"

Ewen Queffeleant has proven to be quite a find. His classical guitar playing is played along with an accordion that has a mind of its own. This reminds me of my youth, growing up in an old Italian neighborhood in my parent's home in the Bronx. It brings back musical tradition with a sense and texture of a new life. Touching.

Today's Listening Session: 1001 Ways "Dream Come True"

1001 Ways "Dream Come True," is a bit out of the normal for me, but as I try to expand my musical horizons I think that this song fits well into what this blog is a reflection of. The song has a slight pop, or commercial edge if you will, but keeps within the cool-tone that I enjoy. This is definitely not for all but I find it to be enjoyable, and hope you will open your mind and do the same.
