Chantel “Cece” Washington Releases New Hit Single
Chantel “CeCe” Washington is an artist you definitely need to keep an eye out for, as her latest hit single, “Body”, attests. Only recently released, but already becoming a fast anthem of 2021, “Body” has a delightful synth aura to it that makes it come across as a chill tune you can crank up at a party. The electronic vibe rapidly gets in your blood, and makes you move your bones, and just lose yourself dancing. While “Body” couldn’t be qualified as a happy song per se, it’s definitely got a fun, and upbeat vibe to it. It’s wonderfully sensual, but then again, so is everything Chantel “CeCe” Washington does. Her voice is smooth and clear, and flows perfectly with the song’s mixing, the two blending together to create this wonderful, sexy mirage that keeps you moving, and bopping your head to the song. Then, of course, we’ve got the lyrics, which add an extra layer of that much-loved sensuality we mentioned. “I need your body,” CeCe sings invitingly, and you can’t help being enchanted by this wonderfully gifted artist. The song itself has only been out for a little over two months, featuring fellow renowned artist, Kimmy, and it’s […]

“I had a fear of letting people know that I sing” says ‘Q. Donnoah’ who releases new song ‘Hold You’
‘Hold You’ is the new single from ‘Q. Donnoah’ who says ‘”I’m an artist from Arkansas. I come from a small town called Clarendon & I’ve been singing since I was around 3 years old. I had a fear of letting people know that I sing, but I’ve gotten more comfortable with the fact that I should use my music to make change and make people feel like somebody really connects with them in terms of complicated love lives, being in love, politics; many different things that people can’t explain thoroughly for themselves, but who’d rather let it appear self explanatory to others. Let music guide your purpose for feeling like you can succeed through these complications of life or let it make you feel powerful and energized. All music is great music to my ears; that’s what drives my grind as a creative mastermind: the understatement of everything and all things. So enjoy a bit of my music if you aspire to. ~ Donnoah”.

Daring to seek freedom, from the myriad demons that plague humanity, ‘Matthew Heller’ releases ‘Scorer be Scored’
Maybe My Love Was Just Right, the new record from Portland, OR musician Matthew Heller, feels like freedom. Like the freedom that comes from letting go; of toxic relationships, of anger, of self-imposed limitations. The record prickles with palpable energy, oscillating between agitation and exhilaration. Daring to seek freedom, from the myriad demons that plague humanity, is terrifyingly thrilling. A sudden lightening of the soul can be downright giddy. The dirty pop-rock of this record, fueled by propulsive rhythm and driving basslines, ignited by tight chords and tighter melodies, feels like that. When Heller started working with producer Mike Coykendall (M. Ward, She & Him, Bright Eyes), he was in between three different toxic relationships with partners that were abusive, malicious, and habitually cruel. For years he thought the key to writing good songs was to be found within heartbreak and loss. Even though he was writing and recording, something was wrong. Heller was going home from the sessions and breaking down into unrelenting sobs. He tried to hide it from his friends, producers, and bandmates, but eventually, his drummer, saxophonist, and close friend Ian Christensen told him he had to make a change. Heller released a beautiful record called Temple […]
