Ashley J – Trapped

FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/AshleyJeanMusic/

Pop songwriter and Singer, Ashley J joined forces with renowned producer and multi-platinum Grammy and Emmy winning, Narada Michael Walden, to create her latest hot new single, “Trapped.” Laced with mid-tempo snaps, shadowy synths and soft whispers; “Trapped” highlights a deep infatuation with a new partner. If you don’t know Narada Michael Walden’s large body of work, it would be easier to describe him to you than Ashley J who’s not exactly a newcomer to music, but a budding pop star that has been brewing for some time when you delve into her past far enough to see that. But what a producer/mixer/engineer like him can bring to anyone, is a larger, more blown up sound.

Swaylex - No Rules

Swaylex - No Rules

YOU TUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De-QqaMm0u0

“No Rules” is one of three tracks Emanuel Williams, aka Swaylex, has uploaded to YuoTube to illustrate his multi-instrumental and compositional talents. This song alone is enough to prove the young musician is a formidable talent who, even in the ruins of what was once dubbed the music industry, possesses the hunger for success and skills to cut through the dross and rise to the top. The instrumentals show an ample amount of chops – it’s impossible to deny that when you’re dealing with a multi-instrumentalist – but “No Rules”, as are the others, retains an innate accessibility few enormously talented musicians can balance out. Swaylex, however, does it with little apparent effort. “No Rules” is an excellent title for referring to his musical approach. Swaylex’s compositions don’t respect rules, break with convention, and show that it is still indeed possible for one musician to be an one man band.

Now, at last, that purpose has materialized with energy and joy as a 12-track compilation album of tender tunes that honor our four-legged friends. Rescue Me! is a heartfelt collection of Americana music featuring songs that are thought-provoking, uplifting, engaging, and downright funny. If you love animals and acoustic folk music, this is right up your alley and deserves all the support it can get. It’s full of well-crafted songs about cats and dogs.

SOULEYE – Hip Hop Medicine

Primary URL: https://www.souleye.net/

Souleye’s musical career began in the trunk of a car. The rapper, hip-hop artist and songwriter was on his way to a party in pastoral New England hill country in a car so laden down with his friends that he and another teen hopped in the trunk. The year was 1996, and Souleye was still Mario Treadway, a high school kid and basketball player who had spent his entire life in the New England backwoods around Sturbridge, MA. In 2009, while on a meditation gathering, he met singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette. They married in 2010 and he opened her 2012 “Guardian Angel” world tour.

Threefifty - Gently Among the Coals

URL: https://www.threefiftymusic.com/about

Threefifty has massive ambitions, but their music doesn’t readily communicate them. This new collection Gently Among the Coals isn’t some chin held high over-exertion of musical strength in an effort to will some masterpiece into being. Instead, Threefifty produce music that sounds like a natural outgrowth of their interests, passions, skills, and experiences and possess an effortless creativity in this direction that manifests itself as a wide-ranging and quite surprising effort. Gently Among the Coals is an album never content with taking straight lines. It is, instead, a winding and imaginative musical ride with literary power frequently unheard on mainstream releases. Daring can only pay off if you possess the chops and the discipline to back it up. Even a cursory listen to Gently Among the Coals convinces you Threefifty has plenty of both qualities to burn.
