Emerging artist Lenny Harold is set to release his exciting debut album—a work of art which will undoubtedly capture the minds and hearts of music lovers worldwide.



“The Journal of Wonders: Tale of the Phoenix in the Moon Labyrinth”— prepared to be released on March 22nd, 2011— is an eclectic mixture of R&B and Soul with delicate hints of Pop and Smooth
Jazz that will grab any listener’s attention from start to finish— a unique sound which the artist himself has coined as “hybrid soul.” The album consists of 14 original songs from Lenny;
production by Cass Maya, Taylor Ryan, and Solomon Cortes of WMC Productions; and the support of renowned musicians responsible for some of the greatest hits in mainstream music history.



Already having numerous accomplishments under his old moniker “CHANJ,” Lenny is an established artist in his own right, having worked with actor/vocalist Jamie Foxx, producer Teddy Riley, and
singer/songwriter Marsha Ambrosious—whose ballad “Say Yes” would spark his rise to Apollo championship and industry discovery. After putting his own stamp on the song, Lenny has generated a solid
fan base in the states and gained notoriety through his fascinating performances across the world.



The 2011 release of Lenny’s debut album is a highly anticipated point in his career. “I’m excited about this project!” he explains, “I’ve collaborated with genius musicians and songwriters that
captivate and describe the heart in ways not yet understood. The honesty of this album will give everyone a way to relate to it…”



Beautifully representing his raw talent and soulful charisma, “The Journal of Wonders” is destined to leave a lasting impression across all genres— stylishly artistic and exemplary of musical
genius.

When it comes to skateboarding and music you could instantly think of bands such as Flogging Molly, Minor Threat and Dropkick Murphys; bands that can easily rile up the listener due to it's
punk/hardcore roots. Yet there is the somewhat hidden musical gem of Tommy Guerrero that has brought a more soulful and textured sound to the scene.



A huge skateboarding star in the eighties (As a prominent member of the Bones Brigade), he was well known for his very relaxed style of skating in his hometown of San Francisco and this has
carried through into his music. His third album Soul Food Taqueria that broke through to moderate popular success in 2003 (Listed as the second best album of that year by Rolling Stone) showed
hints of this chilled out approach yet fast forward eight years to Lifeboats and Follies it has finally been realized to it’s fullest extent and it is a joy to listen to.



From the first track 'Yerba Buena Bump' onwards, TG has set out with laidback stride with the dense and complex interplay between the guitar and trumpet that just immerses you in the music. Once
the music has you in it’s grip with the likes of 'The Same Confusion' and 'Hope and Nomadic Static', it never lets go as it’s rich tone that has, so much emotion invested into it, guides the
listener through whilst still having the casual drive of the percussion that adds such an infectious groove to the pieces.



The way in which Lifeboats and Follies can effortlessly layer that are incorporates and embraces funk, jazz and hip-hop with an expansive, almost cinematic experience truly is amazing as it moves
from the relaxed and rich to the fervent and passionate (such as Ques S’est-il Passe) with such ease. But saying all this, the most impressive thing about Tommy Guerrero and Lifeboats and Follies
is the accessibility. You don’t have to be a fan of Latin or soul music to enjoy this music as it has such diversity to it that there will something for almost everyone to like and even if it
isn’t exactly what you would usually like, let alone be a fan of, it is guaranteed to hypnotize.

The third album by Syreeta, that time backed by Leon Ware on the Tamla imprint, including the participation of Gary Bartz on a couple of tracks. Quoting Dusty Groove, as often, this is 'beautiful
spacey soul from Syreeta -- and proof that she was one of Motown's great lost talents of the 70s! Leon Ware did the production, and Syreeta's high Minnie Riperton-esque voice is backed by a
smooth set of mellow grooves with lots of cool electronic bits and weird moogy parts that remind us of Ware's own "Musical Massage" LP.



The whole thing's a wonderful blend of spacey soul -- and we rank it right up there with the best work by Ware, Riperton, and some of our other 70s mellow soul favorites. Tracks include "I Don't
Know", "Rest Yourself", "One To One", and my personal fave "Tiki Tiki Donga".



Beautiful cover art, too!

Sublime southern soul from one of the greats! James Carr is right up there with the best of the 60s,  Otis Redding, Arthur Conley, Joe Tex, and others but he never made it as big as them
because of personal troubles and bad planning on the part of his label and management. Fortunately, his genius has been kept alive by record collectors everywhere  for whom this rare gem is
a holy grail! The album features tunes that sum up the best of the south in the 60s  all sung by James with his unbelievably heartbreaking voice.



Much more obscure than his first album, ‘A Man Needs a Woman’, for my money, is every bit the equal of its predecessor. Not least, naturally, since it includes “The Dark End of the Street” and
“You Got My Mind Messed Up” once more, two all-time legendary waxings that I’ll never tire off. But the LP’s original material isn’t far behind at all. “A Man Needs a Woman”, a sweet,
country-soul tune written by O.B. McClinton, is another emotional tour de force that just spells out ‘DEEPER Soul’. “Stronger Than Love” picks up the pace considerably, a fine stomping groove
featuring some nice high-pitched backing vocals, whereas the plaintive, minor keyed “More Love” is a thinly disguised ‘payback’ song aimed at Carr’s onetime girl. James is now expressing the
virtues of his new lover, who’s got ‘more love in her little finger than [she] got in all of [her] heart.’ Ouch… The sentiment is continued on the more upbeat “You Didn’t Know It But You Had Me”,
a fine beater, while Carr gets back in a lowdown pleading bag on the tender, slow “A Woman Is a Man’s Best Friend”, featuring that typical highly trebled Goldwax guitar and weeping horns.



The first side is completed with the frantic, sizzling “I’m a Fool for You”. A well-oiled, crunchy R&B-romp featuring soulful second vocals by Betty Harris - the track surely comes across as
a full-fledged duet. The interaction between the two is electrifying, especially on the chorus. The flips opens on a decidedly moodier note, as Carr puts his spin on country singer Howard
Harlan’s “Life Turned Her That Way”. Carr’s tormented soul is laid bare on top of an incessant, punishing groove, one smothered in purring Hammond organs and fits of brass, as he laments on the
disposition of his woman. James’ rendition of Timmy Willis’ 1963 hit “Gonna Send You Back to Georgia” takes us right back to a run-down juke joint shakin’ it up somewhere down a dusty Mississippi
road, and the very country-esque “I Sowed Love and Reaped a Heartache” could’ve stirred up just as much noise ‘at the other side of town’. A great, lazily rocking tune souled up by those fabulous
pipes.



With the inclusion of “You Got My Mind Messed Up” and, especially, “The Dark End of the Street”, what you have is a perfect platter of brilliant Southern Soul.

1. A Man Needs A Woman

2. Stronger Than Love

3. More Love

From Official Site :

Brooklyn-based singer Alecia Chakour is a soul siren. Armed with a bellowing voice, she wraps her vocal chords around weighty issues of love, heartbreak and struggle with the timelessness of an
old soul reincarnate. Using soul’s great arrangement styles of yesteryear as fodder, Alecia coalesces punchy horns, gospel harmonies and an ardent R&B sound to make remarkably honest
music.



Backed by a stellar band, Alecia keeps it all in the family. Alecia Chakour & the Osrah (family in Arabic), brings together Alecia’s closest friends and family – all serious forces on the
music scene. Alecia’s brother plays guitar, her close hometown friends play drums, bass and keys, and the other guys are like brothers from another mother. This isn’t the Jackson 5, and there are
no choreographed dances (yet), but man, is there soul.



Born in the small town of Amherst, MA, home to five colleges and a quirky musical community, Alecia grew her musical roots within an intellectual and nurturing environment. Her father, Joe
Cocker’s former musical director, and an influential soul and blues musician in his own right, opened Alecia’s world to the soul greats. Alecia spent time with her father at sessions and shows
taking in powerhouses such as Ray Charles, BB King, Matt “Guitar” Murphy and Bonnie Raitt. At home, Alecia found comfort listening to artists like Candi Staton and Otis Redding on her family’s
record player. “In soul, you never feel like folks are trying to be too slick or sexy or too anything. They are just singing to let it out,” says Alecia.



Deemed a vocal wunderkind, Alecia was nearly signed to a major label at age 16. When asked to sing gimmicky pop songs instead of the gritty soul she loved, Alecia realized their intentions were
more rooted in sales than music. With her big dreams dangling seemingly within her reach, Alecia made the difficult decision to forgo a major label relationship and instead forge her own
path.



Alecia went on to become an educator, teaching tap dance and music at Brooklyn schools and programs throughout the Northeast. She collaborated with musicians across all genres– from rappers to
psychedelic rockers, Broadway divas to legendary blues crews, crooners to jazz heads and opened for the legendary James Brown and KRS-One. She has been featured on Fader.com, BlindifortheKids,
SoulCulture, Nu-SoulMag and more.



Out of the spotlight, Alecia is strongly informed by her cultural heritage. “I come from a very mixed background,” says Alecia. Particularly when speaking about her father’s Arab background and
her mother’s Jewish background, “I feel so connected to all sides of myself, and I think it’s beautiful to be able to celebrate these two very similar yet distinct cultures. I feel compelled to
step out and be proud of my heritage and represent our powerful diversity.” (NR)

Sly Johnson, né Silvère Johnson, mais également connu sous le claquant pseudonyme de Sly The Mic Buddah, n’est pas un inconnu. Au sein du Saïan Supa Crew, groupe exemplaire de rap français à la
carrière courte mais au succès populaire crossover éprouvé, et ensuite en sideman de luxe auprès de Camille, Erik Truffaz, Rokia Traoré, Oxmo Puccino et quantité d’autres artistes
internationaux.



74, son année de naissance, est un premier album soyeux qui s’inscrit dans une veine estampillée nu soul, une étiquette certes rigide, mais qui a le mérite de délimiter le territoire. Un duo avec
Ayo, « I’m Calling You », après un « Slaave 2» qui cite le « Slave To The Rythm » de Grace Jones, offre un idéal complément de deux voix, féminine et masculine. « Hey Mama », nettement plus
rentre dedans, dans une couleur quasi Staxienne, confirme que le chanteur rappeur de Montrouge (qui ne s’exprime qu’en anglais tout au long de cet album) n’est pas là pour distiller que de la
douceur. Les cuivres claquent, la basse bourdonne et la guitare aguiche.



Pour montrer son héritage, il reprend un des plus grands tubes d’Otis Redding, « Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song) », dans une version un peu ralentie, avec une guitare wha wha à la syncope contagieuse.
Plus inattendue, sa version de l’unique hit des Korgis, « Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometimes », en 1980, déjà repris récemment par Laurent Voulzy et par JP Verdin sur la B.O. de Lol, semble être
ici pour indiquer que l’artiste dépasse le classement urbain auquel il est prédestiné, même si sa version, très soul slow à la Billy Paul, s’affranchit des autres tentatives constatées. 74, avec
son parti pris rétro, seventies, au plus près de l’essence de cette musique, est une réussite dans sa réalisation, sa musicalité, et son interprétation.



Sly, après des années dans le métier, veut décoller l’étiquette de rappeur que son parcours lui a collée aux épaules. Mais on aurait aimé se laisser séduire par quelques chansons en français, qui
auraient formé nouveauté dans cette couleur. Là, il se met sur les rangs des collègues anglo-saxons, et du même coup se complique la vie dans son territoire d’élection, au moment où un jeune
cousin joue les oncles affranchis.
