Indie Soul Pop Artist Selfdrou9ht releases new single and visualizer

October 23, 2020

Indie R&B/soul pop artist, Selfdrou9ht announces his new single and accompanying visualizar, “The Comedown.” Central songwriter James Fasulo states, “This is a song about being a placeholder for someone who needs their emotional needs met, and the feeling one has when looking at the situation retrospectively as you’re left behind when you are no longer useful to them. This is an unfortunately universal experience these days: going from wishing you could have been kept to realizing the user is the one who is losing out. This realization is what sets the song tonally; it’s about self-ownership and restoration of value. The song has tinges of 80’s synth pop with Human League style melody changes, but littered through out are moments reminiscent of *NSYNC, The Weeknd, bedroom pop, and EDM.” Watch the video About the artist After 10 years of paying dues in the alternative rock/punk scenes and 16 years performing in musical theater, Fasulo finally felt the pull to create something new by himself. He has always felt a disconnect between his artistic self and [Read More]

Allow me to introduce you to the powerful and soulful vocals of Jessie Wagner.

The diverse 11 track album, Shoe’s Droppin highlights her soulful, bluesy vocals that are rich in emotion and depth. You can’t help but let her take you away on a musical journey of songs that share her triumphs and pain. The album is a musical gem and it will feed your soul and lift your spirits. Jessie explains about the album, “It’s exciting to stand alone and see if anyone connects with (it). I’ve had some of these songs with me for years, but I was always waiting for the right time to put them out. It’s scary, because this is my voice, my words, just me. It was cathartic to get out some of that anger and sadness, but there’s also the presence of faith that it will all get better.” [Read More]

Copenhagen artist VERA releases new electro-R&B track, In and Out of Love

May 9, 2017

We would like to introduce you to Copenhagen newcomer artist VERA. Vera has earned quite a reputation as an of-the-moment producer and co-writer for a crop of Norwegian breakout acts including Liss, Soleima, Goss and Off Bloom. But today he returns with his own proper breakthrough solo offering “In And Out Of Love,” a crestfallen anthem that pulls from the gloomy ’90s R&B of Sade and Toni Braxton to create a dark electro-R&B sound all his own. Anchored on the vocalist’s lush tenor and a repeated, mournful saxophone sample, the track relies on the push-and-pull of the woven melodies as a metaphor for the repeated hook, “I’m in and out of love.” Check out the new song here: Make sure to visit the social media sites for the latest news.

Time Travel by LA transplant Jasmine Jordan. timeless R&B and pop by Patrick Heffernan

February 21, 2015

Jasmine Jordan’s Time Travel is a thing of beauty, past, present and future. Patrick O’Heffernan Jasmine Jordan does something with R&B and pop that is quite unusual. There is the familiar tempo and feel of R&B, but there is also a longing, a maturity, a personal connection and a heart to heart conversation that is rare to find and hard to accomplish. Jordan accomplishes it with what appears to be little effort. When you listen to her EP, Time Travel, you feel you know her with the kind of knowledge that you get from listening to a person talk while you read their face and body language. Time Travel is her first EP, but is moves with the sophistication of a much more experienced artist. She knows exactly how to frame her songwriting and her smooth, precise voice so that, even coming through speakers or earbuds, she creates a relationship with her listeners. The result is a thing of beauty that travels through past, present and future. Time Travel is a spare four [Read More]
