Spyder Turner is a classy man with an even classier set of pipes. “I Don’t Want To Go Home Tonight” is a beautifully sung song and you can tell that Turner means every word that escapes his lips here. It’s sentimental and full of romance. Who doesn’t know the classic “Stand By Me?” Well you might not recognize this version. It’s an updated version that really gets you grooving. The upbeat soul continues on with “(I Know I’m) Losing You.” It has that old school Motown feel. From Motown to classic R&B, that is the trip taken from that song to this one…“This Is Your Life” that’s what you get here. If you had to sum up Spyder Turner’s music in few words it’d have to be soulful elegance. Every piece of his musical puzzle comes together nicely and is executed well. If you’re into that untouchable soul sound, check out Spyder Turner. (www.reverbnation.com/spyderturner)

Two Cold’s “Cityscapes 2010” is a great experience for anyone who likes their jazz on the smooth side. “Poppin” has a very lively, yet cool feel to it and it really transports you to a good time. Then you have “Last Night” that has this more mature sexual vibe. It sounds like when two grownups find one another and romance starts, not just a random one night hoorah. You have to expect a lot of movement when you see the title “Dancin’ off the Roof” and it does not disappoint. Then you have “LSD (Lake Shore Drive” you kind of get that same urge to dance around as well. Musically, the most interesting of the bunch would have to be “Rap Sheet: The Profile” because it has this very upbeat and intricate. It was well done and all around a great time for anyone who enjoys the sweet sounds of smooth jazz in their ears. So if that’s you, check out Two Cold’s “Cityscapes 2010.” (https://www.cdbaby.com/cd/twocold)

Boots’Beats pops and that’s not joke. “Timeless” has a very upbeat R&B/pop feel like something you’d hear from Usher. He then gets a little island with “What’s Going On.” It’s an easygoing track that just allows you to groove to the music nice and slow. Things pick up and get a little sass with “Badass.” It’s still a great pop song, only with a bit more bite to it. That idea keeps on going with “My Jungle,” while Boots’Beats starts to bring the fun with “I Wanna Party.” That one is definitely a weekend anthem. That and “Ya Number,” which an addicting piece of music. You can’t help but sing along and dance too! If you’re a fan of well crafted pop music check out Boots’Beats before you do anything else.

Chancie Bramlett flips the script on traditional Christian music. “In Your Will” does not even sound like something they would be bumping in a chuch on the surface. It’s a very lively pop song, but listen and after a second you’ll hear the faith loud and clear. Honestly though, anyone who is just a fan of music that makes you move will be into this song. Bramlett definitely could crossover into the secular world if he wanted, but he’s doing just fine with his Lord like music. If you’re a follower of the man upstairs but also love to shake it, check out Chancie Bramlett’s “In Your Will.” (https://www.jango.com/music/Chancie+Bramlett?l=0)

I am love is a folk band that verges on indie from the big PA. “Truest” is a beautifully sung song that really strikes a chord with the core of listeners because of how honest the vocals come across. You get a bit of a gypsy feel with “Oh Take.” There’s something very carnival like about the arrangement. Then you have a soft intro that is very misntrel with “Devil Wears a Leotard.” Then it takes you down a path that’s a little dark. The most modern sounding track of the bunch is “Starting Over.” It has a very ’70s indie aroma to it. If you’re into indie music that has a whimsy to it, check out I am love today.

Jason Fubler is full of surprises. “She Loves” is a very upbeat pop song that has a little bad boy spirit to it. The vocals have a bit of Gavin DeGraw’s bite in them too. That bad boy thing actually comes across like a melodic rock track in “Tragedy In Color.” You could imagine this song on a Hoobastank record if you close your eyes, or don’t because who remembers what those guys look like in 2014? This one comes as a bit of a surprise after the other one leaned more towards the pop side of the spectrum. Rounding things out is a rock ballad in “Hero Inside You.” So it seems the bad boy has some heart. So if you like rock that’s not about head banging but more so about sending a clear message across - check out Jason Fubler today. (https://soundcloud.com/jason-fubler)

Jazzmeus is an electronic artist that makes you feel something new with each track. “Albinoni” sounds like a chaotic time. The beat is fast and it doesn’t let up. It’s like an EDM trip. With “Aura” you have a track that definitely doesn’t take a page from the last one’s book. It’s still upbeat but not as spastic. For some reason this one has a calming effect. Then you have “RuN” which would make you want to. It’d offer up itself to be a great motivator on jogs and in 5ks around the globe. The vocal parts of “Last Chance” make you think it’s your last chance to survive. They’re haunting to say the least. You feel a little enchanted as “Frost” plays. It has this royal vibe to it, almost celestial even. With Jazzmeus you get beats and sounds that span the spectrum but that all fall under the electronic umbrella. If you’re a fan of that scene then by all means do yourself a solid and check out Houston’s Jazzmeus. (https://soundcloud.com/jazzmeus)
