In The Spotlight

Ina Reni – “Down To Mars”

This London-based singer/songwriter of half-German, half-Bulgarian descent caught the attention of L.A.-based entertainment mogul Ted Chung, while she was busking on the streets of London. Apart from her musical ventures, she owns a popular lifestyle YouTube channel. Her debut single “I Thought You Were Gay” was released in 2016 and launched her fresh, fusion pop sound and quirky lyricism.

The title-track of her debut EP is like a virtual club, where she serves cocktails of vintage funk, sassy soul and edgy pop with a tiny hiphop umbrella. With a more-bounce-to-the-ounce beat and copious sprightly horns creating the intoxicating kick and her R&B-infused vocals with a soulful vibe putting a contemporary melodic cherry on top, this infectious tune will tug at your feet to get movin’.

In The Spotlight

Cecily – “Pisces”

This Washington DC native songbird and songwriter has been honing her luscious soprano voice for most of her life. Her exquisite sound is a carefully constructed blend of soul, jazz and 90s R&B, which earned her comparisons to Deniece Williams and Corinne Bailey-Rae. She’s opened for soul/jazz greats Gregory Porter and Kenny Lattimore on their tours and released her self-titled debut EP in 2015.

Her latest single is as refreshing as a cool breeze on a hot, summers day. Singing about finding inner-strength and self-acceptance, her soothing, emotive vocals with a Minnie Riperton-like quality gently float on a sensuous, 70s-inspired river of mild percussion, soft violins and a cheeky flute. Its a seductively enchanting waterfall of mellow soundwaves, which calmly washes over you.
