Joel Jorgensen-Lift Me Up EP

 

If you recall this man right here, it's either from the music he released under the band name, Angels Fall, or the review I had performed on his debut single a few months back, "Aching Heart".  Whatever way you look at it, this is one brilliant talent, and one hell of a release.  You hear a truly professional arrangement on "Lift Me Up", and you most definitely will get your $5.00 worth on this music.  Joel had a hit song called "Drunk Enough" with Angels Fall, then proceeded on an unique tour, with help from Century Media Records.  I first discovered this incredible musician, when I was actually working a ton of promotions with Danielle Fidelity and Century Media Records.  I was even fortunate enough to catch a live show in Toledo, Ohio.  I thought back then that it was a great show, and it only proved to me that my opinion was right.  However, little did I know that that was merely the beginning.  This EP, "Lift Me Up", was recorded at the fantastic Legends Recording Studio.  Such a masterpiece has been issued!  As mentioned, "Aching Heart" came across me online, and I took a listen.  I was shocked!  With a raw acoustic feel, and a song that held deep lyrics, I was even more amazed at this man known as Joel Jorgensen.  Upon reading an online post a few days back, I saw Joel had obtained his master copy of the EP.  I became highly intrigued, and very anxious.  I just had to grab it up, almost immediately, when I saw a post last night that it was up on a site for purchase.  Upon the very first go around of listening to the EP, it really didn't take long to discover another astonishing effort made by Joel.  As I said earlier, you will feel like you were blessed with a shower of gifts when you encounter the track, "Aching Heart".  That's not the only bright spot here.  In fact, all four songs on "Lift Me Up" shine in many ways.  Of course the pictures and complete overall design/artwork is impeccable too!  Shari Yantra Marcacci did a superb job on the shots of Joel, and the overall design.  You can check out more of her work at the link below.  The lead cut, "Lift Me Up", is a truly beauty-laced piece of work.  Your emotions rise and flutter with the track, and you start to instantly realize you are experiencing something special at the very moment.  Followed up by "Sunshine Kisses", which has since became my favorite of the release, it all seems to fit together with an ease of compassion, perfection, and simply...awe.  "Aching Heart" hits you up as the third song on this EP.  To conclude the release is a fantastic piece titled "Ocean Waves".  Such a well composed, and delightful song, it makes me want to make a long drive, or trip, and crank this baby up high, and feel the winds caress my head.  As the sun would begin to set upon the skyline, it would all come together even more perfectly-the music will entrance you with a beauty you can't see without believing.  I would say buy this, but I think I have made it clear by now.  Mixed incredibly by the legend Matt Hyde (Grammy Winning Engineer/Producer),  at Track To The Future and York Studios in L.A., California. It, at the point-emerged as a "well oiled machine".  Damian Fink helmed production also!  Don't just buy this, embrace it and I deeply trust you too will become one with the acoustic beauty that lies within "Lift Me Up" !

Joel Jorgensen-This Aching Heart (Single)

 

Joel Jorgensen is one hell of a talent folks.  With a determined, and strong work ethic, Joel give his many fans material that is both extremely beautiful and worth every bit of the art that it truly is.  You may know the man from the band known as Angels Fall, who had a smash song called "Drunk Enough" a couple years back.  Don't allow the Angels Fall moniker to fool you, Joel's passion and love for the art of music shows much more brighter and powerful with his upcoming solo EP release.  The debut off that effort is titled "This Aching Heart", and it is an incredible piece of work indeed.  The song is available off his ReverbNation page for free download, of which you may follow the link below to obtain your treasure.  To mention, another strong song of Joel's is titled "Every Day", and you can get a splendid taste of that on the ReverbNation link as well, and you can truly dive deep into what drives Joel Jorgensen with his music, by checking out any of the links below.  "This Aching Heart", clocks in just under five minutes in duration, and it is a magnificent song.  The acoustic guitar is amazing, and the lyrics show depth, creativity, and Joel's true talent.  I really can't say enough about this track to be honest.  I really enjoy it, and I have never had a song on repeat so much before in my life!!  The forthcoming EP that Joel is currently working hard on, I'm sure will be brilliant and a hot commodity once it is unleashed to the fans and the music world as a whole.  Go ahead, check out more on Jorgensen below, and see just how good the guy can be, and what "treasures" you can find within the music itself!!

Sean Danielsen-Food Chain

Well, it's here, finally.  A solid rock effort that we can all enjoy and learn

to love.  Sean has given us a "gift" and a relentless pursuit of excellent music, indeed.

With his second solo release, "Food Chain", his voice resonates so deeply with the listener and

fan.  You know him from the top-selling band, Smile Empty Soul.  However, you will

get to know him even better with his solo releases, "Enjoy The Process" and "Food Chain'.

The first single from "Food Chain", is the song "Rescue Me", which premiered on the Revolver

Magazine website not too long ago.  Wow, such strong lyrics in this one.  He lets loose, and never

looks back lyrically, and the guitar is so soothing and addicting, it's not funny.  Not one bit.

To me, the most solid track from the EP, is the third song, "Beautiful Things".  "Beautiful Things"

is so, well, beautiful, and reminds me of a classic Smile Empty Soul ballad, and it definitely rocks!

However, don't forget about the incredible tracks "Waves" and "Broken Bones and Skeletons".  This

effort is very, very good.  There is no, and cannot be, an excuse to not give this EP a shot.  You

can pre-order it on I-Tunes now for only $3.99.  You cannot go wrong.  If you are a fan of excellent

acoustic guitar, lyrically-laced tracks that give you chills, or simply great music-this one is for you!

I guarantee you will enjoy all five tracks with pleasure and pure smiles!!  Crank it up, rock out to it, and most of all, know that this music is for you!!  You can relate to this material very well, and I know that with songs like "Food Chain", and more, you will be able to dive into the EP without looking back.  Sean Danielsen, the Smile Empty Soul vocalist, lets loose, and never lets the fan or listener down in this release.  Pick up your copy at his upcoming solo tour, or online at your favorite

digital retailer on November 4th, 2014.  You will love this, period!

Leighton Meester-Heartstrings

                                              We all know Leighton from a famous television show, or from  her great work in the film industry, but did we expect her to be able to sing like this?  On "Heartstrings", Meester is captivating, and really portrays the material well.  The craft, and eloquent first single is the album title, "Heartstrings".  This song is very smooth, and has a tempo that is easily able to get stuck in our heads.  The way Leighton laid this track down, is almost perfect.  Almost, because it still shows a bit of inexperience with releasing quality music.  Don't get me wrong, this album is really solid, and I would play it constantly in rotation if the occasion arose, but there are some gaps in this album.  Also, "Heartstrings" is only a nine track release.  This is disappointing to fans of hers.  The best track in my opinion from the album, is the song "Good For One Thing".  This song is resonating, and gives us some taste of her potentials throughout the record.  Other standouts are "Run Away", "L.A.', and "Dreaming'.  For the current price of the album, which I've seen it around nine to ten dollars, you get your money's worth.  There is an impeccable range on the release, and I think we all should experience this.  I suggest you go out and grab the record on the 27th-28th of October.  You will enjoy this, but beware, don't expect a perfect record.  This is an enjoyable record, not perfection though.

John Taglieri-Days Like These EP

For those not quite familiar with the talents of Mr. John Taglieri, then you may not own this music or material around you.  Yet, listen up!-You need to read about him and his journeys and musical lifestyle.  Such an impressive singer/vocalist....John has never sounded more delicately, profound, and tougher, within his life.  The latest release, "Days Like These", compels us, the fans and the curious ones to check into the record.  For one example, "Thin Air", is lyrically well-done.  It also, as does most of the album, eerily reminds myself, and perhaps other, like that skillful voice in The Counting Crows songs.  Take a sample out of the lead track off the EP, the song titled "Days Like These", and you will get more of upbeat, somewhat angry tone by John and the band, and here's a secret: it's my favorite track of the entire EP.  "Finish Line" is an excellent, calm, and somewhat somber song.  "Beautiful Tonight" are incredibly similar to a former smash hit artist, and a current vocalist still, as he works on ew material-that artist comparison is, Jamies (James) Walters.  Overall, this is worth the few dollars it costs, and seems like a live show that I would love to see!!  With well developed musicians, and strong uprisings, John Taglieri and his band mates have a brillitant and awe-inspiring horizon ahead of themselves!

Cole Childers-Aurora EP

 

Former front man of the band Chasing Corona, Cole Childers has set out on his own, with the solo effort titled "Aurora".  The lead single, "Fall With Me", has hit radio all over the place, and rightfully so.  I absolutely love this song, thus it is why it is my favorite track from this EP.  However, there is more to this release than just that.  Hailing from Washington, Cole grew up with the explosive Seattle music scene in the late 80's and early 90's.  That was a lot of influence for anyone in the world, let alone residing quite near there.  Cole Childers has become so crafty with his guitar playing skills, and his lyrical power, that I can without a single doubt state that this record is definitely worth purchasing right away!  "Addict" and the excellent product that is  titled "Save Me" are strong pieces to the puzzle that is formed incredibly called, "Aurora".  I cannot even announce a weak part of the EP.  This is such good material, no one can deny it.  "Aurora", the last song on the EP, is so smooth and laced with lyrical strength, that you fall in deep into it.  Fitting nicely right in the middle of the effort are the relentless crafts of "Run Away" and "Impossible".  I mean, you can't seem to go wrong with this one, there's no doubt.  I suggest you check out his links below, to judge for yourself.  Enjoy this wonderful and talented artist, who also served our country in the armed forces, so that's even better!

Tantric-37 Channels

 

Hugo Ferreira's masterful tone within this record will leave you "astounded".  37 Channels, the resilient band's fifth full album after kicking dust all over Travis Meeks' Days of the New project, is their strongest since the debut effort released back in 2001.  Each song seems to tell a story of Hugo's journeys in life, and his emotional ups and downs that he may or may not have struggled with.  The lead track, "Again", boasts great guitar, melody, and yet has simply lyrical content.  Yet, that grit in Hugo's vocals grabs us by our ears and pulls our souls into this record, right into the "37 channels".  Brilliant guitar work and the fact you wanna jam right away to it, make it a hell of a beginning to the album!  "Blue Room", the following song, sets a bit of a calmer world for the listener, then we start to catch a groove and rock to it.  However, if I had to pick a least favorite off the record, again, "IF" I had to, I would go with "Blue Room", but living up to "Again" was tough anyway.  Now, the first single, and the rocker, "Mosquita", really caught me and my mind off guard!  I flatout love this song, by far.  It is obviously my favorite off the record, and it reminds me so much of early Tantric.  I enjoy the blues-like tones, and angry lyrics at times.  Hell, it even has some country, Cajun breakdowns!  This is the Tantric we once knew, and Pavement Records has chosen wisely, done well, and will see success with this record, no doubt!  "Mosquita" is a hit, and I smell a top ten already!  Some other memorable, and power tracks from 37 Channels are "Rise", "My Turn", "Bullet", and my second favorite from this thrill ride, a milder diddy known as "Broken".  The writing is much better, the vocals are more clear, the instrumental ranges are much more eccentric, and this album is far more worth it, than the previous releases by Tantric, maybe except for the first record.  I'd say you could place this one up there with their self-titled debut from twelve years ago.  Hugo and the guys have put together a masterpiece here, and chosen a great label home for it as well!  Well done!
