"Venice Sci-fi" by Ari Dane (Easy Listening Artist from Los Angeles, California(CA))

Like nothing you've ever heard before, Ari Dane will surprise you with his latest album, "Venice Sci-fi." Dane sings with a classic baritone voice that is well balanced and is heard over clean and crisp sounds that are created and layered one track at a time. He touches on island beats, lounge, 80's rap, and big band styles, while keeping his sci-fi tonality undertone. His old style vocals are highlighted on "The Bartender's Point of View" while offering some lyrics that are quite entertaining. The title track "Venice Sci-fi" is aptly named since it sounds like 1950's style green aliens have landed in Italy and started writing music. The album is also splattered with instrumental tracks to give his voice a break. If you're interested in hearing something completely unique, and love the low crooning of a lounge singer, Ari Dane and his album, "Venice Sci-fi" is just for you.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Tom Cherry and Friends with a GrIndie Award for the CD "What You Talkin' About"

Like a sunset on the beaches of Hawaii, "What You Talkin' About," the new CD by Tom Cherry and Friends, offers all the warmth and comfort of a Hawaiian breeze over the course of 10 songs as engaging as they are relaxing. With a sound anchored deep in '70's soft-rock waters, Cherry's smooth-as-sand-pebble voice is right at home on light and breezy R&B like pop songs of love and romance, and the channels our emotions navigate. The CD opener, "Sweet Honey" has all the earmarks, with its accented guitar fills and funky bass style. Further along, such '70's stalwarts as Michael Franks and Al Jarreau are convincingly conjured on tunes like "Driving to Lahaina" and "I Believe in Me" as Cherry and Friends mirror R&B / contemporary jazz veins of inspiration. "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" captures the milieu of the '70s era in a re-styling of the Creedence Clearwater hit, while the tender treatment accorded "Fool Such As I" shows Cherry at his relaxed best. Showing more adventurousness, Cherry re-works Dylan's "Watchtower" in a jazzy, funk-bottomed rendition that's fresh and respectful. Filled with hopefulness and affirmation, Tom Cherry and Friends' "What You Talkin' About" CD captures the mood and sound of another era to perfection, making it, in the process, a fine collection of Adult Contemporary pop for today's audience.

"Prove Me Wrong" by Nancy Casteele (Adult Contemporary Artist from Nashville, Tennessee(TN))

"Prove Me Wrong" by Nancy Casteele is an outstanding record for adult contemporary music lovers. The strong instrumentation comprised of guitars, piano, organ, and percussion accentuate and compliment Nancy's fresh voice. While the songs display varied tempos and pleasant melodies, the gritty, piercing lyrics express triumph over failed romantic experiences, strength and self-confidence. The solid backing vocals on the track "A Beautiful Shame" nicely lay behind Nancy's powerful lead vocals, while the catchy chorus adds a strong kick to the song. The trance-like title track "Prove Me Wrong" speaks of personal growth with vocals reminiscent of the classy Jazz singers of the 40's paired with a slick, modern electric guitar. If you enjoy gutsy, passionate vocals backed by a talented band, then this CD would make an excellent addition to your playlist.
