OSLU sets a sophisticated cinematic score in Goodbye Old Friend.

Posted on 1 October 2021

Jazz fusionist and soundtrack composer OSLU released their latest album, Explaudere, on October 1st. By taking modern film scores and classical music as inspiration, the neo-blues pioneer orchestrates accessible soundscapes that tenderly bind you into the ease of the progressions and the cinematic flair.

The instrumental single, Goodbye Old Friend, uses clean-cut blues guitars, shimmering crescendos and nuanced rock elements to testify to OSLU’s ingenuity when it comes to creating orchestral catharsis. It would be no surprise to see OSLU’s name on a Blockbuster’s roll of end credits. The sheer talent is enough to allow you to question everything you heard on the radio today.

Getting Paid: DonTana keeps the money-filled faucet flowing on ‘Back To The 6’ (feat. Zaytoven)

Posted on 29 September 2021

As he keeps the crew loyal and tight while they count the bags of cash that will make you blush in delight, DonTana slides in with the foreign cars looking all shiny with ‘Back To The 6‘ (feat. Zaytoven).

DonTana is an Angolan-born, Columbus, Ohio-based indie hip-hop artist, songwriter, guitarist, singer, percussionist and composer.

With a smoothly tinted flow which tells you that he is in mightily confident mood, you sense that he is not going to stop this projection upwards anytime soon. He raps about all the successes with the money, ladies and cars at his disposal – as he keeps things smart and simple – on a tidily fresh beat that gets your head moving.

‘Back To The 6‘ (feat. Zaytoven) from the flashy Columbus, Ohio-based rap artist DonTana, is a bank roll full track all about showing your success and not caring what anyone else thinks. He grew up poor and is enjoying this ride for as long as it lasts, as he knows that nothing is forever in this fickle game he has entrenched himself into. Made with a get-rich-now mentality, this is a rapper who keeps on smiling, as he can’t quite believe how well things have gone.

All that hard work and hustle can certainly pay off, in this world that rewards those who take risks.

A Dramatic Crescendo Of Enveloping Sonority: Virginia-based composer/pianist Martin Graff takes us places beyond our current mindsets with ‘Sonare’

Posted on 13 September 2021

Taken off his recent eight-track album called ‘Trips for Piano‘, Martin Graff brings us much enlightened peace for our worried souls with a song that will have you feeling purified again with ‘Sonare‘.

Martin Graff is a mightily skilled composer-pianist, illustrator, writer and spoken-word performer, who based in safe and flourishing Arlington, Virginia.

With one of the most impressive chin-beards you will ever see, he uses these superpowers to make the type of music you can just sit back with, and let it lather a web of pureness all over your willing body.

”At four, his family inherited an old, anonymous piano, and Marty surged with an uncontainable energy to climb onto the bench and dig his hands into those eight-eight bits of clay, instinctively molding them into little aural landscapes. Crude and square at first; at last, faceted gems after a lifetime of practice, polish, and love.” ~ Martin Graff

With a calming ambiance and featuring a wizard-like level of genius proportions, which certainly has you dazzled and perhaps a tad flustered at times. His remarkable style is truly translucent – as he picks up your bad mood to flip it around – and brings you back into a much happier space in the world, where you may feel so much more satisfied with life.

”Making this music is the opposite of death, like the centrifugal force around the sharpest bend of the greatest roller coaster. A re-harmonizing of my most tumultuous internal cacophonies and maybe yours. So, listen up as I bang on this gong from the Gods! As the resonance of these radiant compositions fill your ear and make their way to your heart.” ~ Martin Graff

‘Sonare‘ from the multi-skilled Virginia-based composer-pianist Martin Graff, is a lovely piece of art from a highly skilled artist who brings so much joy to many. His excellent technique is truly incredible and sadly underrated, as he plays with a true love for what he does. This is a song which will sooth many a soul, and bring you back to a place in time where you feel most content.

The true aim of music is to bring us together and heal the wounds of the past after all.
