Time to get funktastic uptown with The Jimi Newton Project


Jimi Newton is an American Guitarist and one of his musical projects involves him collaborating with international musicians that he meets online and one of them is Marri Nallos from the Philippines and together they created Uptown Funk, which features 13 outstanding melodies - each with their own unique musical delights for our ears.

 Make A Better Place is a lively upbeat melody with powerful vocals and catchy beats - a real delight to the ears.

 The remix of Make A Better Place gives it a funky feel whilst not overshadowing the radiant vocals.

 Time To Turn It Around is funktastic thanks to infectious beats and Marri's vocals which are simply captivating.

 Hope entertains us with vocals that have a retro feel to them and Jimi and Marri dazzle us with more addictive beats and if that wasn't enough the tow remixes are equally first class as they don't over do it with the enhancements - remix no 2 is more to my musical tastes as it has more of a subtle feel to it then remix no 1,

 2015 features more bass as well as a lively mixture of electro beats but I love the closing segment, this is also the only track not to feature any vocals.

 Standing Here Tonight is outstanding with not only the vocal performances but also the beauty of the lyrics.

 Uptown Funk (remix) serves up funky beats, first class vocals and the brass segment is sublime, the Jimi Newton project have a flawless knack for creating wondrous music.

 Uptown Funk is more wonderful then the remix, thanks to the lack of the "rap" effect.

 Worlds (remix) features powerful beats and up tempo vocals - a true Ibiza anthem if ever there was one.

 Reflection is funktastic, a true musical masterpiece with its retro vocals and the disco beats - perfect for getting your dance floor groove on.

 Reggae Gig wraps up this outstanding album with smooth reggae beats.

Project Dirty are back with more morphenomenal music


Project Dirty's origins began in 2002 when the founding members Rhett Fisher - (Vocalist/Keyboard) and Micah Faulkner (Guitarist) met through friends.

 They formed Manic Minds, which led to a record deal and three years later an album was unveiled, they then performed on the LA Nightclub circuit and even had the honour of opening for N'Sync - this saw their fan base develop.

 The duo soon realized their music label was falling apart and soon after it dissolved, they then wondered what to do next - after a four year hiatus they started producing and writing a new record without any assistance or involvement from a record label - this was most rewarding for them especially in terms of growth.

 They release two EPs - Act 1 and Act 2 which fused pop, dance and party rock to create sure fire hits. Their most recent release was their 2nd full length album Bluefire and Skywalker is the first single from the album, Skywalker received extensive airplay not only in the USA but also in Germany, Australia, Venuzuela and Brazil

 Just In Time is from the band's forthcoming EP and delivers catchy beats and a captivating vocal performance, it looks like Project Dirty have come up with another sure fire hit.

Pain features a unique production which focuses a bit more on beats then vocals


JLouise aka Jemma O'Neill is a London born Singer/Songwriter who has grown up around music whilst also using it as an escape as well as a means of self expression.

 Jemma's musical career began with her performing with a Soul band, during which two EPs featured smooth sounds were released.

 She then decided to go solo and is also looking to release an organic and unique sounding RnB album so expect an eclectic combination of Hip-Hop beats, Soul hooks and Acoustic tracks chock full of emotionally deep lyrics.

 Pain features a unique production which tends to focus a bit more on the beats then JLouise's vocals which feel masked at times but despite this the lyrics are pretty impressive. I would really like to hear an acoustic version of this song.
