Ethan Harvey is a California born singer who now resides in Texas but you’d swear he was somewhere a little more tropical. “Gratitude” throws you a curveball. Without knowing this guy was all about the Rasta…the intro gives off the impression that he’s just your basic singer/songwriter. Nope, he has that island feel in his music. That one’s a bit passionate while “Took It Away” comes at you soft but then gets a bit hardcore. It’s about those girls in your life who are just no good for you. When it comes to “Destiny By Chance” you can do nothing but smile as the musical delight. It’s easygoing and like a relaxed day. The same can be said of “I See Your Pain,” only this one has more to it than a soft spoken tale. If you like singer songwriters with a reggae twist, then you have to do yourself a favor and check out Ethan Harvey’s jams before you do anything else. (https://ethanharveymusic.com/)

Shiloh does a great job at questioning the world and putting it to song. “Is the World Coming to an End?” is a well constructed piano driven piece that strikes a chord with those into deeper thoughts about their surroundings. When you get to “Without a Flashlight” you get a better feel for who Shiloh is as a vocalist. You can hear her soul a little more and her vibrato. She showcases a little more youthful vibe with “Miracle.” It has a bit of a pep in its step. That style continues with “My Good Friend,” although it’s not as peppy as the last. Then you get a life lesson with “Money, Money, Money” and how it isn’t as great as one would think. If you like singer songwriters that holds a since of soul and maturity while still maintaining a youthful tint, then check out Shiloh music today. (https://soundcloud.com/shiloh-mudundulu)

Jwade2’s album “Ex’Hood’Us” is chalked full of the spirit of Christ and it’s as well constructed as ever. The title track is a modern Gospel track that’s lively and will have you singing along like it’s a congregation. “Wrestling with the Enemy” is set up to have this intense intro. You don’t know what to expect but then Jwade2 comes through like a force with his vocals and passion behind them. Things are slowed down a bit with “Surrender” but it still comes across strong. It’s clear Jwade2 is a man who builds his music around faith and the man upstairs and it’s a good time with this record so if you’re into modern Gospel, get your hands on “Ex’Hood’Us” today.

JC & Company is a Christian group spreading the good word. “God Can Do It Again” is a reminder that God can always do things again and it’s done in this kind of folksy way. Then things get sentimental with “I Am Yours.” It’s like a love song to the Lord. Then you get another reminder, well more like a life lesson with “Keep The Faith.” It sounds like a Christian Disney song sung by a sidekick in a weird way. It just has this child like sound to it, almost storybook and magical. Things get a little modern and dance like with “Not A Stranger.” It’s a nice mix up to the usual. We’ll end on a very light note with “Beautiful Day.” It’s just an uplifting track that can only make you smile throughout and long after it’s over and done with. So if you’re a fan of Praise and Worship music and like your Christian music, check out JC & Company. (https://www.reverbnation.com/jccompany)

Lauryl Laureth is a Jack of all trades when it comes to sound. “Magnolia” starts out slow and sounds like the saddest thing on earth as you stare out a window onto a ongoing plain. With “Until The End” you really get the feeling that Lauryl Laureth likes to capture the hurt and the sadness of humanity in his music. You can hear the pain in each note. Then things all of a sudden get weird and out of the ordinary and you feel like maybe she’s not a one note person after all thanks to the club track “After You Left Me (You’re Free).” It was an unexpected surprise. We keep it going with him  electronic phase with “Go, Go, Go.” Then we head more towards a modern, adult contemporary mood with the likes of “After Love Has Falling Away.” It’s never a dull moment with Lauryl Laureth because every click brings to life a new genre, a new side of who he is as an artist. So if you’re one of those people who can never pick a favorite kind of music, Lauryl Laureth is the artist for you. (https://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=825126)

’ track featuring Mr. Boogie and TKR is a fun time. It plays into an island theme while sounding a bit like it’d be in a club thanks to the beat. “Big Up” is definitely a track you wouldn’t count out of your summer days. It has this chilled yet cool feel to it that would make you a little confused. You would want to groove to it nice and slow but then the bass comes in and you want to shake it a bit. Your body will constantly be busy with this one from Phokus and his pals Mr. Boogie and TKR. If you’re in the need for a summer jam before the fall really sets in, check out “Big Up” now. https://www.youtube.com/user/MrPhokus/videos
