In The Spotlight

Amy Swift – “Every Little Thing”

This British vocalist and songwriter was raised by her teacher mother and car dealer dad on the sounds of soul, jazz and Motown, firing a passion for music within her. She’s written for a multitude of other artists, as well as fronting the electro-soul band Pacific State. Making a name as a solo artist, she released her debut single “Moving” earlier in 2019 and is opening for Natacha Atlas.

Her third solo outing harkens back to the golden days of Motown-styled soul, without losing a foothold in the present. With a feel-good swagger from the driving beat and the smooth retro shimmer, created by the xylophone and harmonious backing vocals, wrapping its melodic warmth around her swooning voice, this silken tune fuses every little delicious sonic morsel to auditory perfection.

In The Spotlight

Mychael Gabriel – “Honesty”

After an impressive career in the shadows of the music scene, working as a songwriter, guitarist and re-mixer for legends such as George Duke, Earth, Wind & Fire and Sheila E., it’s time for this multi-talented musician to step into the limelight. Infusing his music with an unbridled passion and incredible lyrical prowess, he debuted his vivid funk-rock sound with “Ghost In The Midnight” earlier this year.

Turning down a vigorous funkalicious vibe to an amorous smooth groove, his new single is a highly skilled amalgam of fire and seduction. His guitar virtuosity plays with a pulsating bass line and a funky rhythm, creating a Prince-touched retro arrangement, while his silky, falsetto vocals flirt with the soundwaves. And with adding an electrifying guitar solo to the soulful texture, it’s pure aural honesty.
