Check out Errol and Kaye Leslie, one of RadioIndy's favorite Reggae artists

RadioIndy is pleased to present Errol and Kaye Leslie with a GrIndie Award for the CD "New Life"

"New Life" is the third gospel reggae release from impressive writer/composer duo Errol and Kaye Leslie. Originally from Jamaica, but currently taking up residence in Florida, Errol and Kaye smoothly incorporate Caribbean reggae rhythms into their gospel songs for their music ministries. The result is twelve upbeat and rhythmic tracks about the importance of Jesus in our day to day existence and the necessity of putting one's life into God's hands. Errol and Kaye, combined with the backing vocalists, create some great vocal dynamics on this album. Errol has a great booming bass reggae vocal, and Kaye a strong alto more lenient to the gospel end of the sound. "New Life" features great production quality. It sounds very clean and makes you feel as though you are in a Caribbean tent revival. "Caribbean Gospel Medley" defines Caribbean gospel perfectly with an attention-getting beat, great vocal layering, and lyrics about redemption. The title track, "New Life," is an Elvis-esque southern gospel track with great booming doo-wop vocals from Errol, more great vocal layering, and a classic arrangement. Overall, "New Life" is an accomplishment, as it combines the fun, upbeat sounds of the Caribbean with serious and heartfelt gospel lyrics. If the fusion of reggae with gospel appeals to you, I strongly recommend that you check out Errol and Kaye Leslie.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Lee Michaels with a GrIndie Award for the CD "My Life"

RadioIndy is pleased to present Lee Michaels with a GrIndie Award for the CD "My Life"

Pianist Lee Michaels has recently released his debut CD "My Life" which blends the soul of Motown with a touch of classic rock. Hailing from New Jersey you would expect to hear something in the manner of rockers Bruce Springsteen or Bon Jovi. However, Michaels serenades the listener with songs like "The Rain Will See Us Through" which is extremely influenced by the early sounds of Elton John. Michaels belts out some R&B with the song "Believe" with a nice balance between the electric piano and vocals. His vocals attain a quality reminiscent of the soul legend The Miracles while keeping his Barry Manilow piano ballads high in the mix. If you dig Sir Elton, you will dig "My Life" as it is a treasure of pop music embedded with artistic piano arrangements.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Various Artists with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Bluff Rock Entertainment Presents: "The Black House""

Bluff Rock Entertainment Presents: "The Black House" is a CD by various artists hosted by the progressive hip-hop label. The male and female musicians who have compiled this album voice their inspirations of hip-hop with clever lyrical rhymes, tantalizing beats, and tight rhythms. Patriotic Poetry, as heard on "The Value of an American Dollar" speaks of emotional times in America and is also a spoken solo vocal track with no instrumentation. The rhythmic vocals with backing beats are fresh and original and display inventive lyrics. Progressive synths and drum machines really build up the genre, creating an upbeat tempo with a variety of instruments. In a creative production venture. the incorporation of the using the music from the band Cutting Crew and their song (I Just) "Died In your Arms Tonight" as an intro to "So Additive" is innovative as the beat of this song keeps going as a lyrical Rap is heard above the looped strings which are predominant to this song. You will want to take a listen to the CD "The Black House" especially if you like the musical styles of Jay Z or Lil' Wayne.

"Truth Be Told..." by Vick Allen (R&B Artist from Mississippi(MS))

Sequencing a full-length CD is an art unto itself and the best kept secret to making a solid album. As important as it is to stack strong tracks near the beginning of an album, it's often those last one or two songs that make the difference in getting a listener to come back again and again. R&B hit- maker, Vick Allen, and his newest CD "Truth Be Told…" is an 11-song Urban / R&B treasure, and is a perfect example of getting it right. Opening with the appropriately titled "I'm Hooked," an up tempo, Al Green-like groove punctuated by Memphis-style horn bursts, Allen sets the tone for the diverse platter of R&B that follows. "You Stay On My Mind" is an inspired piece of infectious Southern Soul, while "Forbidden Love Affair" finds Allen revealing his inner R. Kelly; and "As Long As I Got My Baby" serves up a dash of funk, it is followed by the completely contemporary soul of "I Know You Got a Man." Regardless of style, though, "Truth Be Told…" is seamless and cohesive, linked as it were by inventive and smart arrangements, superb musicianship, and the kind of background vocals that defines great Urban music and, of course, Allen's smooth high tenor, a voice that alternately echoes Green, as well as lesser known R&B luminaries like Eddie Kendricks, Tyrone Davis or Howard Tate. But it's the CD closer, "That's Heaven to Me", a solemn and uplifting Sam Cooke cover with the kind of message and melody Stevie Wonder later perfected on songs like "Heaven Help Us All" that seals the deal and will ensure repeated listens. Sequenced for maximum effect and filled with classic R&B grooves from beginning to end, Vick Allen's "Truth Be Told…" CD is a terrific album and a welcome addition to the Soul field.

With the fittingly titled "Dedicated," David Cahalan pays tribute to the music of The Carpenters, for whom he is a former background singer. He modernizes each tune with his melodic, individual style, breathing new life into the original while making it his own. He opens the set with the familiar "Hurting Each Other," updating the standard tune with his modern style of pop. He gives the classic "Close To You" a contemporary flair with a bright, bouncing groove, and smooth lead and background vocals. His version of "For All We Know" is a touching ballad, featuring soulful vocals by Cahalan and a shimmering soprano sax melody. His rendition of "Superstar" features a great horn section and a brilliant string arrangement. "Bless the Beasts and the Children" is a wonderful duet, with Cahalan and his female counterpart in fine form.

RadioIndy is pleased to present The Teague Stefan Band with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Game Of Life"

RadioIndy is pleased to present The Teague Stefan Band with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Game Of Life"

The sophomore effort from Central Florida's power trio "The Teague Stefan Band" entitled "Game Of Life" combines elements of blues, rock, and funk to create a highly original, fresh sound. The album is a collection of aggressive, pounding tracks full of intoxicating heart and soul. Teague Stefan, the gifted songwriter, vocalist and guitarist for this trio, employs his talents in both musicianship and composition. The songs are well-written and performed with an enthusiasm and spirit that shines through on each track. "The Leavin' Blues" is a blistering opener, with a strong groove and blazing guitar work. The production is raw and natural, with no post-production trickery. Stefan's dominating guitar is accompanied by drums that are upfront in the mix, providing a powerful, hammering sound. "Tell You Truthful" is a driving shuffle tune with an expressive strut and swagger. "Power Of A Woman" is a soulful blues tune, showcasing Stefan's vocal range as well as his mastery of the guitar. Another highlight is "High Maintenance Woman," which features a passionate performance of emotional vocals and energetic acoustic guitar. "Dues" is a great closer, a straight-ahead rocker that is radio-ready. This is a polished group of songs that will be enjoyed by any fan of rock and blues in the vein of Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, or Buddy Guy.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Rosalina Vega with a GrIndie Award for the CD "He Is Here"

RadioIndy is pleased to present Rosalina Vega with a GrIndie Award for the CD "He Is Here"

"He Is Here" is a great praise & worship album from Panamanian gospel vocalist and songwriter Rosalina Vega. Vega delivers with an inspiring and heartfelt vocal performance and a great range that breeches the operatic, similar to the vocals of Dionne Warwick. On the majority of the tracks, Vega's vocal is solely accompanied by traditional, though skillful, piano arrangements crafted by pianist Michael Andrews. These simple arrangements bring the message of her words to the forefront which is, simply, praising God through song. "He Is Here" has four Vega originals and six traditional hymns and worship songs, and she sings each song beautifully, with immense inspiration and an open heart. The album is well recorded and creates a nice balance between the vocals, piano, and gospel message. "I Give My Heart" is a Vega original with nice piano work and inspiring, heartfelt lyrics about giving it all to Jesus. "Forever More" is a spiritual track with a soothing arrangement and hopeful lyrics about the afterlife. Her variations on traditional songs, including her operatic, multilingual rendition of "O Glorious Love" and her beautiful rendition of the standard hymn, "I Surrender All," are also noteworthy. "He Is Here" is a great album with an inspiring message, and should be looked into by anyone who enjoys praise & worship music and great female vocalists.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Freedom Hawk with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Sunlight"

RadioIndy is pleased to present Freedom Hawk with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Sunlight"

"Sunlight" is the excellent full-length debut from Virginia hard rock outfit Freedom Hawk. This group is solid. Driven by powerful drum beats and excellently crafted guitar work, Freedom Hawk have composed nine exceptional hard rock tracks that dabble in metal and psychedelic and have a certain timeless quality to them. Attributing to this timelessness is the lead singer's vocal performance. His melodic high-pitched vocals are reminiscent of Ozzy Osbourne with traces of Robert Plant. The songs are a lot of fun, meant to be played loud, and will immediately have you either bobbing your head or using your lap as a drum kit. "Sunlight" is well-produced, clean and ready to boom out of a pair of speakers. The title track, "Sunlight," is a fun track with a great rocking arrangement that gets your head bobbing and features some great drum and guitar work. "Going Down" is a stripped down track with a slow drum beat and minimal guitar work that displays the fantastic vocal capabilities of the lead singer. "Sunlight" takes us back to a time where making hard rock wasn't about making a lot of noise but rather about making very good music. Freedom Hawk have crafted a gem, and fans of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and classic hard rock are going to want to pick this one up.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Errol and Kaye Leslie with a GrIndie Award for the CD "I've Got Joy"

RadioIndy is pleased to present Errol and Kaye Leslie with a GrIndie Award for the CD "I've Got Joy"

Jamaica natives Errol and Kaye Leslie are at it again with their outstanding gospel reggae anthems on "I've Got Joy." Combining the southern gospel tradition with upbeat Caribbean rhythms and island beats, Errol and Kaye sing about the importance of Jesus in the world today in a very unique and uplifting way. The energizing arrangements and excellent vocal dynamics, with Errol's booming bass and Kaye's more gospel-oriented alto, take the serious lyrics and somehow turn them into songs that you want to put on a Hawaiian shirt and dance to. Go ahead and try lifting your hand to the sky and sadly wavering back and forth; it's impossible. "I've Got Joy" is well-recorded and the arrangements and vocals alike sound clean and professional. The title track, "I've Got Joy," is a song about the grace and love of Jesus and the joy that it brings and features Errol and Kaye's great vocal dynamics, rhyming lyrics, and a rhythmic horn, drum, and guitar arrangement. "Holy, Holy, Holy" appears to combine a more Caribbean version of Ace of Base's "I Saw the Sign" with the traditional hymn with a vocal performance led by Errol's booming voice. "I've Got Joy" is an excellent and unique album that makes worship fun and even danceable. Fans of gospel reggae or those searching for good music with a Christian message should definitely check out Errol and Kaye Leslie.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Tom Principato with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Raising the Roof!"

RadioIndy is pleased to present Tom Principato with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Raising the Roof!"

"Raising the Roof!" is an excellent, guitar-driven blues rock album with elements of funk, r&b, and New Orleans blues/jazz stylings from Tom Principato Band. Principato has been playing guitar for over forty years, and he shows his mastery of the instrument with unbelievable guitar work on every track. A few of the songs are instrumental, allowing Principato and his guitar to take center stage in bluesy jams accompanied by Hammond organ, great bass lines, drums, and occasional horns. Principato's vocals are reminiscent of the blues rock gods before him, Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughn, and his overall musicianship is just as incredible. His songwriting skills are also admirable, as he can write fun lyrics about creole queens and other New Orleans themes, or blues-oriented songs about lost love and lies. "Raising the Roof!" is well-recorded and has a clean and professional sound. "Lock and Key" introduces the album nicely with a New Orleans style track with great guitar work and horns. "Bo Bo's Groove" is a fun jam track with a great funk bass line, excellent guitar solos, and an overall grooving arrangement. Tom Principato and his backing band have delivered with astonishing guitar work, great blues jams, and a nice meshing of lyrics. Fans of blues rock, whether you've been listening to Principato for forty years or you just heard of him today, "Raising the Roof!" will not disappoint.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Darin Seldes with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Skippin' Stones"

RadioIndy is pleased to present Darin Seldes with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Skippin' Stones"

"Skippin' Stones" by Darin Seldes is a great funky jazz/reggae album that can be compared to Van Morrison, Blues Traveler and The Dave Matthews Band. The album features excellent arrangements highlighted by powerful horns and a fantastic rhythm section. That combined with wonderful song writing ability and fantastic production value really makes this album stand out both creatively and technically. The vibe is such that it makes it a great chill album to have in the background while you drive, work or just hang out with good friends. The stand out track happens to be the title track "Skipping Stones" which sounds exactly how you would imagine. A very relaxed, chilled out melody along with soothing vocals search inside and find the child within. "Something New" is the leadoff track and blasts you right into it with a big full arrangement that is worthy of an arena. "Take A Deep Breath" touches on the reggae side of things, with a slick sound and nice work in the rhythm section. This is a great album by a talented artist. A great blend of many genres is difficult to achieve and Darin Seldes succeeds.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Errol and Kaye Leslie with a GrIndie Award for the CD "New Life"

"New Life" is the third gospel reggae release from impressive writer/composer duo Errol and Kaye Leslie. Originally from Jamaica, but currently taking up residence in Florida, Errol and Kaye smoothly incorporate Caribbean reggae rhythms into their gospel songs for their music ministries. The result is twelve upbeat and rhythmic tracks about the importance of Jesus in our day to day existence and the necessity of putting one's life into God's hands. Errol and Kaye, combined with the backing vocalists, create some great vocal dynamics on this album. Errol has a great booming bass reggae vocal, and Kaye a strong alto more lenient to the gospel end of the sound. "New Life" features great production quality. It sounds very clean and makes you feel as though you are in a Caribbean tent revival. "Caribbean Gospel Medley" defines Caribbean gospel perfectly with an attention-getting beat, great vocal layering, and lyrics about redemption. The title track, "New Life," is an Elvis-esque southern gospel track with great booming doo-wop vocals from Errol, more great vocal layering, and a classic arrangement. Overall, "New Life" is an accomplishment, as it combines the fun, upbeat sounds of the Caribbean with serious and heartfelt gospel lyrics. If the fusion of reggae with gospel appeals to you, I strongly recommend that you check out Errol and Kaye Leslie.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Parallel with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Superhero Madness"

"Superhero Madness" is the fourth release from Southern alternative rock outfit Parallel. This album screams mid-nineties, bringing back the heyday of the alternative rock movement with music and vocals that remind the listener of an array of their likely influences – Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20, 3 Doors Down, Stroke 9, Nine Days, and Nickelback. "Superhero Madness" is lyrically diverse and filled with emotionally charged piano ballads, Southern anthems, catchy choruses and the distinct feeling that something is missing in the world. Parallel worked with seasoned, professionals producers John Kurzweg and David Cox to record the album, so it has a polished sound and is ready for the mainstream. "If You Believe" is a soulful piano ballad with a nice melody, a catchy chorus and introduces an instrument less frequently used among '90s alternative artists. "Love is Gone" is a Southern my-baby-left-me song with a powerful and gritty vocal and another inescapably catchy chorus. Overall "Superhero Madness" is an enjoyable album and an admirable continuation of a classic influential music genre. If enjoy the mid-nineties alternative rock sound, give Parallel a try.

RadioIndy is pleased to present BiGGs with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Pound-4-Pound"

RadioIndy is pleased to present BiGGs with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Pound-4-Pound"

"Pound-4-Pound" is a three-track southern gangsta single featuring the original, instrumental, and a capella versions of BiGGs' "Look Good." BiGGs' has the vocal ability to intimidate as well as to bring the ladies to their knees. He has a great singing voice as well as a great flow reminiscent of the Notorious B.I.G. and Lil Wayne. The backing music sequence supports this intimidation/coercion dichotomy, as you get a thick, bumping beat with subtle and varied accents and quirky yet atmospheric synths. The second track, the instrumental version of "Look Good," gives you a whole different perspective on the track and allows you to focus on the dramatic hints. The a capella version stands on its own as well; you definitely feel the rhythm without hearing it, and it paints a complete picture of BiGGs' talents as an emcee. This single is recorded excellently, so the track sounds great as a whole and broken down. "Pound-4-Pound" certainly leaves you wanting to hear more of what BiGGs has to offer the music world in both arrangement and vocals. If you enjoy the Miami style of hip-hop, you'll enjoy this CD.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Corinne Gooden with a GrIndie Award for the CD "All My Days"

"All My Days" is the impressive debut from folk singer/songwriter Corinne Gooden. Throughout the album, Gooden shows magnificent control of her voice and has an emotional inflection that heightens the personal sentiments in her writing. Her vocal performance is similar to contemporary female singer/songwriters like Paula Cole, Sarah McLachlan, and Bonnie Raitt. Gooden's lyrics are very personal and honest, and she sings them with such conviction and melody that the listener becomes hooked and must know what she'll sing about next. The musical arrangements are also quite good, highlighted by fantastic piano/organ progressions and beautiful acoustic guitar that skillfully back Gooden's vocal performance. The recording quality of "All My Days" is excellent, so the vocals and arrangements are clean and crisp, leaving nothing to be desired. The title track, "All My Days," is a slow, sad, and personal song with a piano and guitar accompaniment in which Gooden shows her tremendous vocal range. "Goodbye" is a more uptempo rock number about learning how to say goodbye to someone you don't necessarily want to ever say goodbye to. Overall, "All My Days" is a superb debut from a talented singer/songwriter that knows how to write her feelings down and vocalize them. Fans of good folk lyricists and female vocalists should check out this excellent CD.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Dynamic Destony with a GrIndie Award for the CD"Kisses in the Evening"

"Kisses in the Evening" by Dynamic Destony is an enjoyable '80s-influenced, hard-hitting club album that features pulsing rhythms, thumping beats, and a sound comprised of many different electronic elements. This album is simultaneously energetic, aggressive, loud, and smooth, and it doesn't waste any time in giving you the urge to dance.

With "Kisses in the Evening," you get power and pump as well as catchy melodies and flavorful vocals. The production quality is excellent, and the songs are all ready to spin. Standouts include the title track, "Kisses in the Evening," which bursts out of the speakers with a fat beat, strong vocals, and extreme danceability. "My Angel" features classic '80s hooks and opens a window into a bit of a darker side of Dynamic Destony's sound. "Baby Don't You Want Me" is a good choice for a closer that starts out very minimal and erupts into an epic final burst of energy.

The arrangements and musicianship are very good, complementing Nancy's strong vocals very nicely.

Everything about this song is clear. The arrangement is fantastic. All of the instruments are very complementary to one another and the performances are great. The production quality is also very good - a very crisp recording and great final product. If you enjoy Teddy Pendergrass and Marvin Gaye, you'll enjoy this song.-William

"Nostalgia" by Darin Seldes (Rock Artist from Atlanta, Georgia(GA))

RadioIndy is pleased to present Darin Seldes with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Nostalgia"

"Nostalgia" is a rock album with elements of jazz, funk, zydeco, and reggae from the innovative Darin Seldes. On "Nostalgia" Seldes combines atypical rock instruments – Spanish guitar, organ, horns, mandolin, and piano – with typical instruments to create an original sound. His vocals are also quite unique, accentuated and raspy with an impressive range, comparable to Scottish singer/songwriter Paolo Nutini. The clarity and quality of the production of the album allows the outstanding individual instrumental work to cut through the recording clearly and precisely. The lyrics on "Nostalgia" are oftentimes catchy and playful, though the album as a whole recognizes the difficulties of living in this imperfect world. "Long Awaited Ditty" features a playful and catchy bridge, "This is the section of the song for those who like to sing along." "Crawfish and Boiled Shrimp" is similarly playful as Seldes sings about eating seafood and attending outdoor festivities. Lyrically, "Lonely Incorporated," as one might suspect, is not quite as playful, but the instrumental combination of piano, Spanish guitar, drums, and an electric solo is quite the jam. "Nostalgia" is a true original for fans of a jazzy, funky or reggae-infused rock sound. If you enjoy rock or any of these combined genres, you'll enjoy this excellent CD.-Lea and the RadioIndy Reviewer Team

"Out of Mississippi' by Joni Compretta (Country Artist from Mississippi(MS))

RadioIndy is pleased to present Joni Compretta with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Out of Mississippi"

"Out of Mississippi" is a southern country album from female vocalist Joni Compretta. Joni has a strong, demanding voice similar to contemporary country artists like Martina McBride and Faith Hill that is capable of expressing loneliness and joy, hopefulness and helplessness. Most of the songs on "Out of Mississippi" are borrowed from other artists, many of whom are not from Mississippi, but they all tell a decent story and Joni's confident vocals make it seem like she wrote them herself. Her backing band is versatile and musically sound, drawing from the classic rock & roll sound as well as country, and incorporating the piano, mandolin, violin, and steel guitar into a number of songs. The album is well-recorded with no critical errors. "Before You Turn to a Memory" show's Compretta's backing band's musical talent with a sad violin intro, mandolin, steel guitar, and piano all complimenting her powerfully sad vocal. "I Love You," a track that originated on a Faith Hill album, has a nice alternation between smooth jazz saxophone and steel guitar during the melodic verse. With "Out of Mississippi," Joni Compretta has selected some of her favorite songs, borrowed them, and cut them herself in her own stylish way. Fans of strong female vocals and southern country, check this one out.-Lea and the RadioIndy Reviewer Team

"The Hurricane Waltz" by Guy Lee (Rock Artist from Tennessee(TN))

RadioIndy is pleased to present Guy Lee with a GrIndie Award for the CD "The Hurricane Waltz"

"The Hurricane Waltz" is an impressive instrumental guitar album featuring the Southern and modern style of the talented Guy Lee. The guitar work is amazing on this album - riffs and solos galore. You can't ignore the great rhythm section behind Guy though. The band is tight and the backing arrangements are very active. Having those guys behind him gives Guy the ability to cut loose, and he delivers. It isn't all power though. There are some great melodic downbeat numbers as well as a variation in guitar styles. You get a full menu with Guy and quality-wise, the album sounds great. Highlights are the opener "Sirocco" with a great mix of Southern and modern guitar styles. The band is at its best too, with tight rhythms and fills. "Flash Cash" is a quirky little Rag with one of Guy's best performances, some cool fiddle and offbeat changes. The title track "The Hurricane Waltz" wraps things up and features wicked jazz lines and an "authentic to the era" sound quality. If you enjoy listening to the talents of guitar virtuosos, you'll enjoy the outstanding guitar work and overall musicianship of this excellent and creative CD.-William and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team

"My Life" by Erly Thornton (Jazz Artist from Florida(FL))

RadioIndy is pleased to present Erly Thornton with a GrIndie Award for the CD "My Life"

"My Life" is a contemporary jazz/soul album that features the outstanding saxophone work of Erly Thornton. The sound is one that is difficult to put a label on. There are great elements present from many different genres, although smooth jazz is probably the most predominant. The musicianship is superior on this album and the arrangements are unique and intelligent. There is a constant upbeat, yet smooth vibe to all of the songs. All of the instruments are well represented, meaning you can hear everything. The relationship of the layers is well produced. This album will relax you and get your heart pumping at the same time. Highlights include "JJ's Bounce," which takes you off the map a little bit with urban beats and a funky groove. "Fantasy" speaks for itself in the title and features one of the best sax performances on the album. "Grooveelatious" is another self-explanatory track. There is more than groove to this one though, as it takes you on an airy journey. If you enjoy contemporary/smooth jazz saxophone, you'll love this CD and this talented saxophonist.-William and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team

RadioIndy is pleased to present Booze Monkey with a GrIndie Award for the CD "4th St."

"4th St." by Booze Monkey is a guitar-driven blues rock album with a sense of humor and a party mentality. The lyrics are quirky, creative and entertaining to say the least. Not only that, these guys are good musicians that can play the blues. The man behind the sound is seasoned independent recording artist Blue Ajay. There is a definite rockabilly undertone to the sound. That mixed with the chunky/chewey guitar makes for a driving and powerful rock n' roll cocktail. You will also experience a very well-produced album with modern sounds and eclectic intricacies. This ain't your mom and pop's blues. Highlights include "Solitare (the old way)" with it's lyrical roller coaster and booming rockabilly sound. A definite party starter. "Hope" is the track that follows and is a complete 360. A darkness emerges with synths, haunting guitar work and goth-ish vocals. "Tellin' You" is a twisted rocker with great changes and fantastic performances all around.

"Muitiro" by Phil Flarvh (Easy Listening/Pop Artist from Virginia (VA))

"Muitiro" by Phil Flarvh is an eclectic CD unified with traditional South African cultural music and modern day electronics. In a unique contrast of cultures, Flarvh has mastered the art of creativity in collectively combining these two contrasting styles of music. The electronic drums imply the modern day dance club rhythm while the piano keeps a soft and serene chord structure. The delicate hints of synthesized strings embellish the tone of easy listening music. The lyrics are gracefully spoken yet sung with themes and variations. Perfect harmonies keep form and integrate the vocal with an ensemble providing the shape of African tonality. The title track is a great example that rhythm, form, and harmony from opposite classifications can merge to create a new type of musical style. If you like the music of Lady Smith Black Mambazo, you will enjoy listening to the easy listening CD "Muitiro" by Phil Flarvh.

"Nothing But Love" by Sal Belloise (Pop Artist from Florida(FL))

RadioIndy is pleased to present  Sal Belloise with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Nothing But Love"

"Nothing But Love" by Sal Belloise is a blues driven acoustic rock album with a great live/raw quality to it. Sal's vocal performances are the big factor in achieving this sound as they are very clear and nicely produced. The instruments all have a great "Room" sound and the arrangements and lyrics are creative. Throw all of these factors together and you get an album that sounds like it was recorded in a coffee shop....but in a good way. The acoustic guitar work on the CD is impressive. Highlights include the title track "Nothing But Love," which has a catchy chorus, a standout bass line and some nice harmony in the vocals. "Wonderful Day" has some intricacy to it with tricky rhythms and changes, yet it is very listenable. Great blues riff too. "Wave of Life" has another awesome blues riff and more good vocal harmony. If you enjoy adult rock acoustic artists, give Sal a try.-William and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team
