Andrea B: "You Kissed Me in the Rain"

Andrea B’s “You Kissed Me in the Rain” is a song that resonates with the romantics, but also those who like to move. It’s got this trance feel to it and that really puts you in a zone when listening and you just can’t shake it, and also a little Middle Eastern feel as well. Like a lot of House music, it relies on one hook for repetition but throws in other lines here and now to break things up. If you like trance music, and a bit of romance, check out Andrea B’s “You Kissed Me in the Rain.” (https://www.jango.com/music/Andrea+B?l=0)

Jaqal's Dark Side

Jaqal is an instrumentalist who makes music that seems to be based on the darker side of things. “Flatbed” has this almost spooky vibe going on, like a tribal scary. You think someone’s going to be creeping behind a push ready to pounce. With “Popped” you get a more abrupt beat to move to. Again, very tribal in its ways. We step away from that tribal thing when we get to “Mental Domestics.” It’s a little weird…so I guess that it goes well with the spook of “Flatbed” in that sense. Continuing on with that scary vibe let me introduce you to “Dark Gender.” It’s clear that Jaqal likes to create obscure landscapes with his music and that’s cool if you’re into the darker side of sound. So if you are, check out what Jaqal has going on. (https://www.youtube.com/user/MrJrelic/videos)

Antone "Chooky" Caldwell's Instrumental Soul

Antone “Chooky” Caldwell can not only give you an instrumental, but a song chalked full of soul. “Good Lord” is a funky instrumental that really just sends out good vibes all around. With “Whatever It Takes” you get this mid-tempo track that has a bit of romance to it. Then “Consuela’s Star Child” and “A Touch of Latin” showcase the well, Latin side of what Antone “Chooky” Caldwell can do. Much to my surprise, there were lyrics in “One 4 Me.” I’d gotten used to grooving to the music but wow, Antone really has a set of pipes on him. His voice is silky and really hits the spot. Lyrics were found again with “Back Again.” Not sure if this guy has ever tried out for a singing competition - but he should. While I was enjoying what he was doing with the instrumentals, R&B is where he belongs and shines bright. If you’re either into hearing the musical components to a song or really looking for a new voice to attach yourself to, check out Antone “Chooky” Caldwell today.

Then you get “Let’s.” You can’t help but swoon and wish this one was written and performed for you. And while you don’t want to be the victim of a broken heart, “Broken Hearted Girl” is a song you can’t help but attach yourself to it from the start. Rounding things out with Chris Medowbrook is “All Night” and it’s the icing on the romance cake from this guy. If you’re into the essential sounds of R&B, check out Chris Medowbrock ASAP.

Earle Smooth's A Sound Machine

Earle Smooth has a lot going on in his cascade of sounds. “Play The Fool” is the beat that won’t stop. It’s over six minutes of movement. “When You Walk That Way” kind of follows the same pattern as the last, only cuts the time in half. “Honey Honey” picks things up and gets a little funky with it. Then you have “Esquiste Love” and that one is an upbeat ditty that really allows for listeners to move in a good manner to. There’s something sweet about “You Don’t Even Know My Name” and that’s probably due to the ivory tinkling throughout. Then there’s some Latin flare to “Touch That Body” that makes that one sound alive. With Earle Smooth you get an array of sounds and beats that really make you wonder what goes on in his mind. There are just so many different aspects going on. So if you like constant change, check out Earle Smooth’s music today. (https://soundcloud.com/earle-smooth)

Hailey Smith AKA Harpist for the King's Angelic Ways

Hailey Smith AKA Harpist for the King is an artist who takes newcomers to the harp in and never lets them go. To be honest I’ve never heard actual music on the harp, so this one interesting. I’ve seen and heard it played in movies, but for a second or so - never a whole song. “A Thousand Years on the Harp” was as angelic as those short scenes presented. There’s something calming about this stringed instrument that’s self-explanatory in one full listen. “Canon in D” has a softer approach. I know, it’s all soft, but the tone of this one’s a bit more somber. Then a classic done in her own way, Hailey transforms “Ode to Joy” on her harp beautifully. Rounding it out is “The Haven of Rest” and this one just sparkles with life the whole way through. The range of what she can do on her harp is a good time. So check out Hailey Smith today if you want a magical, musical time. (https://www.harpistfortheking.com/)
