In The Spotlight

Cory Henry – “Fighting For Peace”

Born in New York as a bit of a musical miracle, this singer, songwriter and musician was playing piano and B3 organ aged 2. By the time he was 5 he could play anything on his Hammond organ. Since then he’s toured with legends like Bruce Springsteen, Boyz II Men and Michael McDonald. First releasing instrumental albums, he debuted with “Gotcha Now Doc” in 2012, adding vocals on “Art Of Love” in 2018.

Written in honor of this years Black History Month, his new single wraps his powerful message in a celestial, uplifting melody. Having his Hammond organ negotiate both vintage soul and divine gospel, the two blend together into a spiritual experience. With smooth guitars, gentle rhythm and a luscious choir stroking your ears, this blissful tune paves the road to peace with heavenly notes.

Cerise Valdez – “Things He Likes”

From a young age this rising singer and songwriter knew that she wanted to sing. She started singing aged 6 and followed her sister into singing in a choir, but preferred writing her own songs. She moved to Los Angeles in 2019 and attended Musicians Institute, graduating with a degree in Vocal Performance. With a sound likened to Lennon Stella and BENEE, she debuted with “Disco Baby” in 2021.

By first creating a hazy, alluring soundscape, like a breath-taking sunrise, before bursting to life with an upbeat electronic sparkle, her new single ticks all the right boxes. Singing about the honeymoon phase of a relationship where you spend everything to impress, leaving you in love but broke, it’s the funky rhythm, shiny synths and vivid vocals, that make this a tune you can’t help but like.
