"Por que fingiste Amarme" by Jonas (Latin Artist from Argentina)

Accomplished vocalist Jonas's newest CD "Por que fingiste Amarme," hits the music scene with Latin pop and a touch of rock finesse. Jonas doesn't have to reach far to sing to the skies as his vocals have full-bodied Latin flavor, which caresses the emotive lyrics of his songs. Lively and vibrant, "Por que no," wows the listener with a bright and catchy synth sound and a rock solid bass line that complements Jonas' colorful vocals. The lovely orchestration of instruments on "Simplemente" illuminates the strong, bold, and heartfelt lyrics. Slicing into the rock genre, "Amor inconcluso," features some rip roaring guitar riffs embellished with chilling synth sounds. Charming piano decorates the stunning lyrics on "No quiero más de tu veneno," while the subtle strings dance around the vocals. Experience the great talents of Jonas and his album "Por que fingiste Amarme," jam-packed with Latin pop and a sprinkling of rock.

"Let's Spend the Day Together" by A.M. (Electronic Artist from Ontario, Canada)

Billing its sound as "Electro-acoustic party music," A.M.'s latest CD, "Let's Spend the Day Together" is all that and more. Not to be confused with American singer-songwriter AM, this Toronto-based performer has assembled an album that is well crafted with electronic soundscapes, "found sounds", samples, and last but not least, sheer sonic invention, that is as intriguing as it is musically satisfying. Tying the project together are real-life samples provided by people from all over the world, intended to represent a "snapshot of a day in the life of humankind." It's a concept that unfolds with the ease and naturalness only an accomplished musician / DJ could pull off. Weaving these samples throughout the album, the result is a combustible mix of instrumentals variously built on both synthesizer and acoustic instrumentation, alternately lush and lyrical, primal and orchestral. Each tune is crafted with a keen eye towards melody and dynamics, and utilizes chord and aural changes that keep the proceedings both fresh and forward moving. While A.M.'s latest CD, "Let's Spend the Day Together" is, in fact, an album perfect for a party / club setting, there is so much going on here that only multiple listens will render full appreciation, and ultimately reveal the depth of compositions and the superb musicianship of the artist and his collaborators.

"Harp of the Heart" by Theresa Tremmel (Instrumental Artist from Indiana(IN))

In this day and age, our lives are rushed and hurried from the hectic/stress of everyday living. One needs to have a time of serenity to release the mind of the worries of the day. Theresa Tremmel has just the right antidote with her tranquil and beautiful disc "Harp of the Heart." This soothing collection of tranquility, featuring her stunning gift on the harp, will leave you with repose of peacefulness.

"Gateway" and "Calm Vista" display a warm, inviting piano accompaniment which balances well with the melodious harp. If you need a little down time or just want to hear some soft and peaceful music, then "Harp of the Heart" will bring you to the place of rest and relaxation.
