In The Spotlight

Gary Beals – “All Of Me”

Hailing from Nova Scotia, this Canadian soul/R&B singer and songwriter first fell in love with music in church. He started singing in the church choir and listening to legendary soul artists. In 2003 he was a contestant on the first season of Canadian Idol, finishing as the runner-up. Inspired by artists like Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson and Al Green, he debuted with his self-titled album in 2004.

Capturing the joy and ease of summer life, while lyrically celebrating giving your whole self to that special person you’re interested in, his new single shines sheer sunlight on his soulful tones. Taken from his upcoming album “The Melody Within”, expected later this year, it’s the ascending percussion, joyous horns and his irresistible soul-dripping vocals that make this carefree jam sound vibrant and fun.

In The Spotlight

Angie McMahon – “Letting Go”

This Melbourne-based Australian singer and songwriter was born with a love for music, which crystallized when she was a pre-teen. She started her career as part of a nine-piece soul band called The Fabric. After choosing a solo path, she won a Telstra competition in 2013 to open for Bon Jovi. Inspired by Bruce Springsteen, Joni Mitchell and Van Morrison, she debuted with “Slow Mover” in 2017.

Highlighting the need to not live in the past, but to create a new future by learning from making mistakes, her new single has a Springsteen-esque rock vibe. Taken from her upcoming album “Light, Dark, Light Again”, expected on October 27th, the track starts slow with swelling guitars and ascends to a rousing beat and a slight wild touch. And with her lively vocals, this brisk track is one to hold on to.
