Zanya Laurence – Soul Theory

Filed under: Reviews and New releases — lifeandsoul @ 9:55 pm

Review:-

Commencing with This Is My Life which is a great opener in that it is easy, accessible, comfortable and leads you to want to hear more and to see how this builds. And there is no disappointment, the tracks come thick and fast, are all different in some respects taking from soul and jazz, new and old.

And it soon becomes clear that whilst there is no full on, smack you in the face, monster track this album is more than competent, the level of consistency is high.

Down & Out is one of the top tracks for me it is punchier, and the vocals are strong and more stretched within Zanya’s zone. You feel that she knows her voice, where it fits, the style it fits and all that makes the album thoroughly listenable from start to finish.

A long road is mellow and acoustic with a feelgood touch, Rhythm is moodier and sultry and featuring also Smoke Dawg. A matter of time and the excellent Sunday continue with those sultry tones and qualities.

A very good and consistent album

Soul Theory
Info:-
Zanya’s sweet, yet moving sound showcases her early influences of urban R&B, and jazzy Soul. Born in Southern California and raised in New Mexico, Zanya began performing at the age of six. From dance to choir, she was clearly a natural. Before honing her songwriting and performance skills, her musical evolution encompassed learning to play the classical guitar at her fathers knee. Influenced and inspired by genres such as R&B, Hip-Hop, Funk, Blues and Jazz, Zanya has incorporated her creative writing and raw emotion into the lyrics found on her independent debut, “Soul Theory”, recorded at her privately owned studio, “Soul Spot Music”.

She’s had 2 songs nominated for recognition in the New Mexico Music Awards in 2004 and 2 more that were nominated in the Rhythm and Blues category for 2007. She now ranks 7 on trakheadz.com worldwide independent artist top 15 list. She stays true to her art and to making music that moves others in a rare way.

Zanya was always involved in music growing up, whether it was playing in band or singing in regional talent competitions, but it wasn’t until 1997 that she was introduced to her first studio experience. It was at that point that she realized she had found her niche. With years of struggle and desire, came the sweet proof of an aspiring artist growing toward her prime. Feeling trapped, she knew she had to make a move. It was either New York or California. She found MI, sent her application with her recording and was accepted that very week. So she packed her car and drove off to the place “where dreams come true”, but little did she know that LA would be so cluttered with uninspired hopeful’s that she might very well get lost in the shuffle.

Nevertheless, she soldiered on emotionally and financially, and recently graduated from the Vocal Institute of Technology at the Musician’s Institute in Hollywood, California with extensive training in theory, performance and music business, while also studying the art and roots of Jazz and Blues. Selected by A&R, she came in first place out of 50 of MI’s finest singer/songwriters in the Artist Development Program, earning the respect of her musical peers and instructors alike. She performed the Hollywood area regularly with The Zanya Laurence Band and is currently back in the studio, creating the soulful grooves you love to vibe to.

Although she has been compared to several established artists, her unique style can be heard through her passionate expression, phrasing, and thoughtful delivery. At the end of the day, Zanya’s sound is truly one of a kind…

Kendra Ross – New Voice

Filed under: Reviews and New releases — lifeandsoul @ 9:56 pm

Review:-
One of the top independent soul albums of last year, and I was previewing tracks from here at a very early stage probably in teh first half of last year on my Solar slots. And I am still playing the album regularly today.

The album has the enduring quality that each time you listen to it a different track stands out. Right now for me it’s the mellow and wonderful I’m So Okay with some lovely keys by Chris Rob.

I have met Kendra several times now and consider her a friend as are many of the people connected with this album like Chris Rob, Skoota Warner and the producer Christian Ver Halen amongst others. That said take my word for it – it is good!

The musicianship is real, the production tight, the material solid and the performance excellent, whether its the funky Real Deal or the wonderful Send Somebody to love or the ability to gain asistance from Talib Kweli or Eric Roberson.

Top notch Independent Real Soul Music

New Voice
Info:-
Kendra Ross is a truly gifted singer and performer. With her beautifully smooth voice and impressive songwriting talent, she is an artist in high demand. In her short career she has already worked with celebrated artists such as Kanye West, Talib Kweli, Omar, Faith Evans, and many more. She has appeared on NBC’s The Today Show and BET’s 106th and Park and has been featured in O magazine.

Kendra is now celebrating the release of her debut album titled New Voice. The long-awaited project, co-produced with longtime collaborator/music director Christian Ver Halen, is comprised of all original compositions. Many of the best touring and session musicians on the music scene today are featured on the album, including Teodross Avery (Amy Winehouse), Maurice Brown (Ramsey Lewis), Lonnie Plaxico (Cassandra Wilson), Chris Rob (John Legend), Daniel Sadownick (Matisyahu), and Skoota Warner (Santana). The album also features performances by Talib Kweli, Eric Roberson, and more.

Critically-acclaimed hip hop recording artist Talib Kweli wrote of the talented singer/songwriter in the liner notes of his Gold-selling album Quality (on which she wrote and performed): “Kendra’s talented, beautiful, and one of a kind.” Time Out New York has hailed Kendra as “an underground soul singer with a mellifluously fluid voice” and BBC’s Radio 1Xtra declared her to be “…the divine Kendra Ross.”

Fully aware of the iconic legacy associated with her last name by a triple threat performer whom she has admired since childhood, Kendra is set to garner her own respect and attention. Get ready to be introduced to the new Ms. Ross.

Ann Nesby – This is Love

Filed under: Reviews and New releases — lifeandsoul @ 9:32 pm

Review -
Still catching up on last years album’s! This one has featured regularly in my DJ spots playing out and on the radio, hence the delay in getting something down in writing. Ann possesses one of the most instantly recognised and powerful voices in the Soul World and none more so than on this album. She also has a presence that commands respect amongst her peers resulting in tangible emotion.

I probably have played I can’t explain it more than most as it is a dancefloor essential but personally I prefer the slightly more mellow This could be love. I apologise is also near to being the best track and that is even slower still!

10 tracks in the old days would have seemed sufficient but nowadays it doesn’t seem much, but it is all quality making it an essential purchase.

G John Martin – Black Ice

Filed under: Reviews and New releases — lifeandsoul @ 10:04 pm

Review:-
Big thanks for Mike Ward for getting me on to this one, some months ago now. However I have been playing this on my radio slots and elsewhere but now have a minute to get something down here.

Several top tracks, one of which If you only knew featured as one of my top tracks of 2007. Instant, harmonic, R’n'B vibe but nonetheless still eminantly soulful.

I kinda get bugged by perceptions that nu soul has to be of the same styles as old soul, when soul, to me at least is organic, and must represent what is actually happening now. This is the kind of album, maybe not all the way through, but certainly the top 4 or so tracks, that i am really feeling right now

The opener Baby Girl sets the format strongly into strong vocalled new mellow R’n'B, a track that I am coming back to more than I did at the outset.

Black Ice, the title track, and sort of tag line, not to keen on personally, catchy though but there’s a sort of Bee Gees hook that puts me off! Hey Pretty Girl has some Latin tinges.

Something Special is a pleading relationship ballad. Tick…Tick…Tock is another storytelling R’n'B cut that ranks among the best tracks. V.I.P. is maybe a bit more formulaic, dancehall kind of groove but catchy and OK.

Quiet Time is a fine slow slow ballad. In fact as we get to the back end of the album we firmly into slow jam territory Beg And Plead, and the family orientated, (children perspective) From The Heart and (partner orientated) In Love Again and There’s No ‘I’ In We.

G John Martin, born in Detroit, Michigan, USA, is without doubt one of America’s most talented vocalists. He is an artist who personifies art. His music as well as his being creates unified melodies manifested with balance, life and wisdom. At age seven, G John Martin discovered the Bass Guitar and like a dove from the sky the vision of his life’s destiny was born. By age twelve he found an interest in creating and producing songs of his own, he formed a local band, taught himself several other instruments and studied further the development of his unique sound. Not only did he manage to play the drums, bass and guitar, he realized his voice. Soon it would be clear his personal testimony and the beginning of his musical career. His professional journey began at age eleven during a visit to Hollywood. He quickly caught the ear of performer James Mitchell of the “Detroit Emeralds”. Offering him a role in the development of musical pieces for several projects including his first tour. With his encouragement he quickly moved to study music and began what would become a long history of music production, Groups to his name, 7 mile under the Sony label, it wasn’t long before he was afforded many opportunities to master his craft. Within the next ten years, G John Martin felt the pressures and practices of the music business overshadowed his passion of music. Deciding he would no longer work under the influences of corporate ideals and demands, he chose to quiet himself, find spiritual solace and honor his soul. This led him to Japan, a culture based on divination, deriving from a culture of people that was made of order. Black Ice would embark on what is now his dream come true of owning his own company JP Entertainment & Nitram Records.

Glynis says: “My life is music. I was a singer when I was born and remain a singer today.” His musical influences include Donny Hathaway, Luther Vandross, George Benson, Maurice White and Stevie Wonder. Glynis’ first tour as a bassist and background vocalist was at the age of 11 with the Soul/R&B Group “DETROIT EMERALDS” also having toured throughout the world with the likes of EARL KLUGH/GEORGE BENSON, AFTER 7, CLARK SISTERS, UNV of “THE MADONNA GIRLIE TOUR” and Japan’s Speed, Anri, YUKI KOYANAGI and KEN HIRAI, just to name a few. His amazing stage presence is with a love for his music that is best described as a total addiction.

Welcome to the world of G John Martin, whose wonderful style compliments a voice which cuts through the air like a cold knife then melts it’s way into your heart like warm butter. Uh Ohhh!…WATCH OUT LADIES!!!!!

Will Preston – Caught In The Act…The LIVE Experience: CD/DVD (All Regions)

Filed under: Reviews and New releases — lifeandsoul @ 9:52 pm

Review: -

An excellently packaged and put together set of CD and DVD of Will Preston Live at Shaftman Performance Hall. The DVD certainly enhances the CD as it is obviously nice to see pictures of the performance – it helps capture the feel of the evening.

Will plays many tracks from his previous album, and a few more in front of a knowing and appreciative audience. Looking at this from the outside and from an era where independent CD’s can be put together in various scenarios, from ‘performers’ who maybe don’t have a following or haven’t left the confines of their bedroom studio, it is great to see something ‘real’ – real performance, real musicianship, real craft.

The performance is solid indeed and it is more difficult to pick out select tracks from a live performance but I particularly like Afterplay and the building Second chance with fine support from the background vocalists.

Also a good interpretation of Luther’s here and now. The album builds into the undoubtable finale and signature It’s My Will and cementing himself as a true contender amongst the new soul performers of today, but there is also the style, poise and respect to the old school.

CD/DVD (All Regions)

Info: -
R&B singer Will Preston boldly re-enters the spotlight with his new release “Caught In The Act…The LIVE Experience”. This double disc CD/DVD combo is the follow-up to his highly successful debut project “It’s My Will”, released in 2005 by West King Entertainment. Recorded during a stop on the It’s My Will tour, “Caught In The Act…The LIVE Experience” captures Will in fine form. As always, his music takes us on an emotional journey but with this live performance he gives us even more. What you get is an artist who is clearly in control of his craft. To witness him live is truly an intimate experience. Like many great R&B singers, Will really comes to life on stage. His delivery is heartfelt, rousing and genuine.

Much of the material on “Caught In The Act…” draws from the “It’s My Will” catalog, but there are a few surprises as well. Will does a masterful take on Luther Vandross’s “Here and Now” and also tackles the R&B staple “Let’s Chill” with relative ease. Fans who loved “It’s My Will” will enjoy the new edge now placed on those original songs. In particular, “Second Chance” is sure to be a pleaser. The new arrangement and addition of the lead guitar gives this Will penned tune a fiery seductive edge. His passionate delivery of “Afterplay” is spellbinding and far exceeds the emotion exhibited on the original. From the intro to the final track, a string laden stirring rendition of “It’s My Will”, Will is noticeably in his element. It’s no wonder that among indie music fans he’s often regarded as “Mr. R&B”. When it’s time to chill and listen to the sounds of “real R&B”, Will is the go-to-man. His style is sophisticated yet hip and he’s been privileged to enjoy success with audiences of all ages.

Will’s talents as a singer/songwriter were revealed with his debut project, but this release gives us a deeper more intimate glimpse into his artistry. His composure and charm on stage rivals that of any veteran artist. He is quick to connect and instantly engaging. It’s hard to decide whether to listen to the CD first or watch the DVD. Needless to say, either order will give instant satisfaction. With this release, Will takes one giant step closer to solidifying his rank as one of the best voices in R&B.

Organix Soul @ The Holiday Inn Panorama

Filed under: Independent Soul Music News — lifeandsoul @ 11:02 pm

Organix Soul: We’re Bringing Soul Back

The Organix Soul January Line Up Is Bubbling with Talent. We are proud to state that for January, all the stops had to be pulled, thinking caps tightened as the promotions team attempted to figure out how to create a line up as potent and powerful as Decembers line up. Leon Timbo and Marcell and the Truth tore the house down. The opening acts set the tone with powerfully soulful deliveries led by Gospel Artist Yvette Early and Poet Baub Bidon.

The beauty of the Panorama Restaurant Lounge is that unless you’re aware of it, you would never know it’s there. Removed from the more popular Springfield venues, it’s hidden away between Chestnut and Dwight Streets, located on the 12th Floor of the Beautiful Holiday Inn downtown Springfield.

Hundreds of concert goers have discovered that on the fourth Saturday of every month there is this working concept called Organix Soul, a hip mix of live neo-soul, funk, jazz, spoken word, and gospel presented by Organix Entertainment Promotions. This monthly event ushers in a return to the roots of soulful music in New England. Despite being off the beaten path for clubbers, it continues to be packed; once again defying the notion that Springfield Massachusetts is a no-fun city.

Organix Soul is living evolving proof that even though organic soul music often gets buried in the mainstream mix these days, Soul Music in its various manifestations is forever, Enter Brown Rice…

Springfield Massachusetts based singer/songwriter Shameka Brice aka Brown Rice is another in a growing list of impressive, talented performers who are successfully merging old and new school grooves with a Soulful flavor and is quickly turning Springfield into perhaps the most exciting New England city for new soul music.

Brown Rice began her career at the age of 16, singing background and studio session vocals for a wide range of producers and artists. Over the years she has consistently introduced her audiences to her enticingly electrifying sound of pure soul, adding a delicious flavor to hip-hop and R&B. she released her first compilation Album in Japan Entitled ” Bounce To This “, 3 singles from the album (Man of Steel, Try Love, & Reasons) were hits throughout Europe and Japan.

On January 26, 2008 Brown-Rice will be performing hits live at Organix Soul, along with Boston vocalist Maeve Hughes, Connecticut R&B singer Hector Troy, Huggy Bear the poet from Mobile Alabama, and the Nu Direxions Band out of Hartford, CT.

Organix Soul is a two-hour show that promotes good ole fashioned soulful music and spoken word. Promoter D. Moss says “Our goal is to promote events that we feel are socially and artistically relevant and inspiring. This is an opportunity for local artists to network with national artists of stature and for fans of real music to come out and enjoy themselves.”

Tickets for this event are $20 at the door, $15 in advance and can be purchased online at OrganixSoul.com. For more information or for local ticket outlets contact Organix Promotions at 413.233.4595. Visit our sponsor SPRINGFIELD HOLIDAY INN AT www.hispringfield.com

I know that some of the songs will be the lead songs on upcoming releases from the artists. Some have been assigned to TV shows & movies soundtracks. Some will be marketed as stand alone singes by the artists themselves, etc.

Which was the entire point of the exercise in providing the exposure for these 55 GREAT SONGS in the manner in which we did. We wanted to utilize the technology to help enable them to further their goals as independent artists, and I think that we accomplished that.

Needless to say, we are quite proud to have been involved in this first of a kind effort, from a musical, technological and cultural perspective. It was quite a job to put together the marketing, technological and fulfillment infrastructure and as such I would like to thank the following people along with all of the artists who worked as a team to pull this off:

Jose Munoz – Album Producer
Earl Gregory – Quality Control & Customer Service
Soul-Patrol Coordinators in Philly, Memphis, LA & Cleveland
Mike Davis – Developed the Distribution and Customer Fulfillment technology infrastructure


LISTEN TO: (features song clips from 11 of the 50 songs & basic album info) Various Artists – Chuck D, Mandrill, Angel, Darrell Mcneil, JD Blair, Joseph Wooten, Stephanie Mckay, the Mighty Dells, Nadir, Maty Soul, Lenny Blocko, Gary Lee & the Catdaddy’s)
