In a melodic reverie reminiscent of a bygone era, the latest offering from Adrianne Blanks & The Oracles, “The Zodiac,” conjures the ambiance of a clandestine 1950s jazz haunt straight out of the silver screen. Crafted in collaboration between lead singer Adrianne and keyboardist Matt Blanks, this enchanting composition transports its audience to the enigmatic confines of “The Zodiac,” an underground nexus of beatnik culture immortalized in the timeless film “Bell, Book, and Candle.”

Adrianne’s entrancing vocals, intertwined with Matt’s evocative keys, Dillon Young’s expressive guitar, and Elias Grimsley’s rhythmic precision on drums, coalesce into a mesmerizing fusion of swing, pop, and jazz infused with hints of psychedelic rock and soul. This distinctive blend, aptly dubbed “Spellbinding Jazz & Rock,” serves as a testament to the band’s penchant for genre-bending creativity.

Reflecting on the genesis of the track, Adrianne shares her inspiration drawn from the allure of “Bell, Book, and Candle” and the evocative imagery of “The Zodiac.” Collaborating with Matt, she envisioned a sonic narrative that seamlessly transitions from Latin-infused storytelling to the exhilarating crescendo of surf rock—a sonic journey that mirrors the revelry of its cinematic counterpart.

Hailing from Asheville, NC, Adrianne Blanks & The Oracles have carved a niche for themselves with their enthralling performances, weaving tales of witchcraft, maritime mythology, and urban intrigue. Drawing from influences as diverse as Jacques Demy’s visual aesthetics and the musical legacies of The Zombies and Serge Gainsbourg, their sound marries lush orchestration with the raw energy of vintage surf rock, captivating audiences across festivals and speakeasies alike.

Building upon the success of her debut single, “Words Are Spells,” Adrianne’s latest release, “The Zodiac,” reaffirms her prowess as a vocalist and storyteller. With accolades such as the Best Costumes & Wardrobe award at the 2023 Music Video Asheville and recognition from esteemed publications like Enchanted Living and The Wild Hunt, Adrianne continues to enchant listeners with her enchanting blend of musical mystique and theatrical flair.

 The Miami-based Gabby B’s two newest music videos and tracks continue her mission of empowering women, while having fun and exuding confidence that exemplifies her influence within relationships.

The Reggaeton-infused anthem “Si No Sabias” is about empowerment, independence, and moving on from past relationships. Sung in Spanish, Gabby B remarks, “Being a Brazilian Latina, there’s a lot about the rhythm in Reggaeton that’s similar to what I grew up listening to.” “Si No Sabias” is produced by Carlos Vidal Meijias (@CameBeats) and directed by Sebastian Andrade (@sebasfilms) of ORANGE. This Reggaeton was released on February 2, 2024, to fans worldwide via Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, iTunes, and various other streaming platforms. 

With “Lickorish,” Gabby takes inspiration from Brazilian Funk, delivering a high-energy track about rebellion, breaking free, and embracing one’s independence. Sung in Portuguese and English, the lyrics convey a playful and confident vibe, celebrating sensuality and living in the moment. The collaboration is written by Gabby B and Joseph Lopez (@MrHitRecord), with music produced by Lopez and a video also directed by Sebastian Andrade (@sebasfilms) of ORANGE. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, this new music video is out today February 16, 2024, to fans worldwide via Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, iTunes, and various other streaming platforms.

 “Brazilian Funk is a fun experience,” says Gabby B. “The lyrics are more playful, and sensual, and have repetitiveness. The chu-cha sound and repetitive ad-libs are my favorite part of every funk song.”

 In addition to her recording career, the multi-talented, multi-lingual Gabby B, based in South Florida, co-owns the independent label, Muy Bueno. She is also responsible for creating her choreography and she designs and makes all her performance costumes.

In 2023, Gabby released her single, “Leche,” produced by Emmy winner Joseph Lopez (@MrHitRecord) featuring Latin pop singer Vikina, a Mr. 305 Inc. (Pitbull) recording artist.

The Latin crossover has also garnered airplay support from Pitbull’s Globalization on Sirius XM from DJ Laz and DJXray, as well as WBTT 105.5 The Beat.

Marzzhia Janine (MJ) Ancheta, mononymously known as MARZIA, is a Filipino-Canadian R&B singer born and raised in General Santos, Philippines. She has gained recognition around the world for her live performances and vocal range. MARZIA carries a strong influence from R&B, Soul and Pop music, citing Ariana Grande, H.E.R. and Giveon as inspirations.

Now releasing her debut single “SHE IS HER,” the artist shares: “I wanted to emphasize how taking a hold of the right person is so important that instead of looking for the right person, be the right person. On the other hand, it’s also about a guy forgetting a girl’s value and it’s to remind him of how much she really means to him. It’s a realization on either partner’s side that you never realize what you have until it’s gone.”

FRANKIE FLOWERS is an emerging alternative artist from Waterloo, Ontario. She creates a genre-bending sound by merging her love for dark-wave and post-punk music, as well as combining elements from other genres. FRANKIE has a dark, psychedelic, and eclectic vibe that urges you to escape reality and experience the unknown. 

“You can lust for anything,” says FRANKIE. “People, money, power – we’re all longing for something.” Her aptly-titled new single “LUST” feels dark and desperate, with echo and reverb that drown out the verses, in contrast with the punchy chorus.
