Sarah Manzo – “Toy Piano”

Born with a love of music and an urge to perform, this Nashville-based singer and songwriter grew up enamored with show tunes. She attended the CAP21 conservatory in New York, training in Musical Theatre and took piano lessons. As part of a duo, she would perform her songs in local bars. Inspired by Amy Winehouse, Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande, she released her debut “No Plans” in 2020.

Telling the story of independent artists chasing their dreams and the struggle to achieve them, her new single is personal and genuine. Despite the mellow pop backing, the song is infused with rich sonic layers. With the sleek violins and the sensuous saxophone adding silken soul to the enchanting melody, it’s her seductive and honest vocals that add an intrinsic warmth to this titillating tune.

The Cumberland River Project – “Your Man”

Proof that you’re never to old to follow your dreams, German songwriter and musician Frank Renfordt started this project in his 60s. Although engrossed by music since childhood, he worked most of his life in the steel industry. However he always played guitar and wrote songs. A love for country music led him to Nashville to start a solo career. He released his debut “Back On The Road” in 2020.

Effortlessly layering blues and rock with 60s and 70s soul and a touch of country, his new single is an invigorating musical amalgamation. Drawing the listener straight in with a lively rhythm and bold brass, it’s his gritty voice, joined by backing vocalist Jenny Sabi, that accompanies you through the song. And with an electrifying blues-rock guitar solo, this intoxicating groove is pure sonic energy.
