In The Spotlight

Becca Hannah – “Breaking Away”

Born in Boston and based in Los Angeles, this eclectic singer and songwriter started her musical journey at a young age. Her passion for singing was fed by voice lessons and school performances. Evolving her ever growing skill set, she added playing piano and guitar to her repertoire. Since then she’s been crafting an unique sound, blending elements of jazz, R&B and soul. Inspired by Amy Winehouse and Norah Jones, she debuted with her version of “Fly Me To The Moon” in 2017.

Singing about the unsettling uncertainty felt when you realize you’re growing apart from loved ones, her new single highlights that change can also be a positive force. Taken from her EP with the same title, she dipped the melody in smooth nostalgia. With a pulsating beat, crisp guitars and mellow keys, the song embraces the best parts of 90s R&B and 00s neo-soul. And with her delicious, sugarcoated vocals gently stroking your ears, this tune is a mesmerizing, soul-infused journey.

Johnny Murrell – “Not That Bad, Yet”

Originally from Kansas City, this talented singer, songwriter, musician and teacher made Tulsa his home. Raised in a house where music was always playing, he started piano lessons at a young age. After studying Music and Spanish in college, he moved to New York City, where he founded the band Robbing Johnny. Years later he moved back to Tulsa and did a residency at the Mercury Lounge. Inspired by Elton John, Frank Sinatra and Jimi Hendrix, he debuted with “Finally The Rain” in 2018.

Encouraging people dealing with mental health problems to embrace hope and not to give up, his new single is built around meaningful lyrics exuding positivity and strength. Framed by a delightfully rich sound, comprised of several musical elements, the melody is a soothing sonic ebb and flow. With a gentle rhythm, full-bodied guitars and a slight 80s pop feel, the song sounds like a warm embrace. And with the honeyed charm of his vocals, this ear-pleasing smooth groove is not bad at all.
