The Nunez Project’s latest track “Lares” is the perfect blend of funky jazz and fresh blues. This track is one you would hear blasting out of coconut speakers at a Caribbean themed block party.

Lares is the first single from the album “Historias desde Otros Lares.” This track takes influences from Puerto Rican beats, Bomba and Plena to drive the rhythm. Featuring Luis Núñez on bass, Michael Rodriguez on trumpet and Changa Pacheco on percussion, this track is a delicate, cohesive fusion between Latin music and Afro-Caribbean cadences that work together and create a “new energetic and powerful combination.”

“Embers Inside” (Feat. Caroline Kim), is the first track off Auvic’s unreleased album “Soulfire.”

His sound is best compared to that of Daft Punk and Deadmau5. If those two artists had a love child, it would be Auvic.

Wrapped up in a punchy mix of airy synths, rich bass, and head-banging beats, the song tells the story of an individual who “relinquishes her origin, travels through the enduring blaze of her past, and achieves peace.” As the song progresses through a smooth melodic symphony, you can feel the storyline take a dramatic turn as the intensity of the beat increases. We learn the achievement of peace left her filled with regret, because along the way she surrendered her honor.

Auvic does a great job on this track of storytelling through melody and simple lyrics. Listeners are able to feel the shift in emotions and the journey as the song progresses. Check out the rest of Auvics tracks on “Soulfire” to uncover the rest of the story!

Aura Blaze is at it again with the new album “The Sparkling Black.” Definitely one of the most ambitious releases of the year, each song is filled with fiery passionate lyrics, and intense instrumentation that will leave your ears ringing for days.

Sonically alluring from beginning to end, the 9-song release is a standout for Aura Blaze. Hailing from New Jersey, Rhode Rachel, brainchild of Aura Blaze, brings a dose of psych-rock to the table like your ears have never heard before.

In depth lyricism find it’s home and comfort in swirling instrumentation that breaks into the very core of the album. No holding back, Aura Blaze is in this for the long run. The release finds itself with lush, brilliant vocals, as Aura Blaze also calls in the help of a friend or two. A personal favorite on the record is “Manipulation,” in which singer Björn Strid comes on board for vocals. The frontman of the noteworthy Swedish Metal band, Soilwork, the two are a match made in Rock n’ Roll heaven.

Other standout tracks on the record for us include “Hope It All Works Out,: and “Keep on Believing.” Though one right after another Aura Blaze somehow outdoes himself with the build up of each track. The soundscape that flows throughout the record, which makes “The Sparkling Black” one of the very best, if not THE best album that will enchant your ears this year.

Kevin West is far from your average singer-songwriter. The  eclectic artist is currently sharing his new EP titled “Story of My Life,” which was released last month m. On the record we hear an artist that is truly making himself in the Americana scene. His heartfelt lyrics combined with his intricate instrumentation perks our ears up and widens our eyes.
