"Pick Your Face Up Off The Floor : The Remixes" by electronic/funk artist Farrad, is a collection of 12 unique dance remixes of the title song, and includes the bonus track, "Praise 2 The DJ."

The tracks move from steady beats to ecstatic ones to slower ones, but all charge the listener to get up and dance their heart out. The "Ron Kurti Remix" is particularly unique in that it has the bass line of good Detroit house, but also features the mesmerizing influence of DJ Tiesto which, when brought together, makes for a high energy dance track - for all of six minutes. On the "JJ Appleton Remix," a funky discotheque theme is more prevalent. The mood is bubbly on this track while the bass line remains thumping.

"Here Comes The Break Up" by Chris Holiman & The Downtown Saints (Pop Artist from Arizona(AZ))

2010-01-12T18:01:00.001-08:00

This new CD by Chris Holiman & The Downtown Saints is called "Here Comes The Break Up."

In "Your Fallin'," Chris sings with beautiful harmony over quickly paced, yet calm, acoustic guitar playing. "Rush" is a pleasant tune that moves from a pop-rock style to a bluesy sound and back again.

This is an album that is anchored in Holiman's excellent vocals and a varied pop-rock style that doesn't shy away from exploring the darker elements of the singer's world. That being said, "Here Comes The Break Up" leans more towards an adult-contemporary sound over that of traditional pop-rock but, overall, Chris Holiman has delivered a terrific CD for fans of gifted singer-songwriters.

"Balumba Tombo revolution" by Various Artists (Pop Artist from Italy)

2009-12-20T15:56:00.001-08:00

New from Italy's Pedale Baroque, "Balumba Tombo revolution" is another eclectic compilation of Pop and World Music artists and songs reflecting the wide-open scope of the unique project that produced '07's "Balumba Tombo reloaded." From the psych-inspired "Sea Child" by Danger, to the East-meets-West hybrid sound of Gandhi Goes to Bollywood's "Welcome to Legoland," the diversity of the 10 tracks blend perfectly to create a borderless pastiche of pure musicality. "Requiematic" by Maestro Poldo Catara dabbles in classical nuances, while CD-opener, "Distraction physique" by Bohemian Flambe, is straight-ahead rock with a decided French influence. Elsewhere, Frograssa's weird and unsettling "Frogs in frocks" and the ultra-'80's feel of Leonid Sdjalayev' "Eto niemoi film?" push the boundaries without sounding uncharacteristic or out of place. A CD for the musically adventurous, the "Balumba Tombo revolution" compilation is a provocative mix of styles and influences that will leave you wanting more from the compelling and innovative Pedale Baroque collective.

"Red Light, Green Light, Go" by Brett Perkins (Pop Artist from Denmark)

2009-12-16T20:01:00.001-08:00

"Red Light, Green Light, Go" by Brett Perkins is an inspirational, easy listening Pop album. Each track delivers real instrumental, non-synthesized music with accurately harmonizing vocals. Greatly inspired by the work of The Beatles, "Red Light, Green Light, Go" does an exceptional job of combining the melodies of 60's pop with modern Americana guitars. The track "Figure It Out" has a perky, upbeat tempo and the chorus is probably the catchiest one of the entire album. The instrumentation on the track "I Won't Give Up On Love" matches the artist voice perfectly. Staying in the tenor range with a female vocalist accompanying him, this song is intricate in lyrics and musicianship. The Beatles have inspired many a great artist since the launch of their career and "Red Light, Green Light, Go" by Brett Perkins is a shining example of that.

"Lost in the Pages" by seasoned songwriter and producer John Enghauser is a brilliantly crafted pop/rock album filled with radio-ready hits. John's diversified musical compositions keeps listeners engaged, while his skillfully penned lyrics infuse his audience with fervent emotions. The title-track proves to be an auspicious beginning for this album, highlighting John's niche for creating groovy musical hooks that are hard to forget. "Still Waters" and "Breathe Again" reveal a softer side of the record, led by the beautiful sounds of the acoustic guitar, and backed by stellar, heartfelt vocal performances. Moreover, the vintage southern-rock tune, "Kitchen," goes on to highlight the diversity displayed on this album, as well as John's remarkable ability to deliver vocal performances fitting for numerous genres. Polished with superb production, fans of passionate pop and acoustic rock with an occasional vintage undertone will enjoy this CD.

"Funkmeister" by Hugh Jarvis Hitchcock (Pop Artist from Florida(FL))

2009-10-27T17:37:00.001-07:00

Hugh Jarvis Hitchcock and his debut CD, "Funkmeister" is an album that spans fluently across many genres. At some moments it's urban and jazzy, other times it's 80's music with some world beat flare. Female vocals, keyboards, and a drum machine make for some smooth, catchy, and fun songs. The album is best represented by the track, "Out of Control," as it has a fast paced world drum beat, jazzy saxophone, and a funky bass line that really moves. The stand out single is "All I Know" as this song offers a slower moving beat with soft and sweet vocals. "Funkmeister" will surprise you at every turn, from its ever-changing genre, to samples of George W. Bush speeches and is definitely a great album to hear if you're looking for a variety of music with vibrant rhythms.

"Well I Never..." by JustDave (Pop/Rock Artist from England)

2009-10-22T21:05:00.001-07:00

That JustDave rocks with authority is clear, but their excellent new CD, "Well I Never…", also showcases the band's capacity for delivering solid pop-rock tunes that are as immediate as they are enduring. With meaningful lyrics, tightly layered harmonies and biting, guitar-driven arrangements, "Well I Never…" finds JustDave mixing some distinctly '80's-era pop sounds ("Professional Victim" & "The Inconvenient Truth") with Classic Rock sensibilities ("Hard To Breathe" and "I Can't Be Wrong All the Time") in a seamless, 12-song collection that's strong from start to finish. Other highlights include the Blue Oyster Cult-like "Fractured" and the echo-laden power ballad, "When It All Comes Down," but throughout the album JustDave's musical instincts prove spot-on. Well-conceived and equally well-played, JustDave's latest CD, "Well I Never…," finds the English band hitting on all cylinders in delivering an album that rocks with timeless and memorable songs.

"Studio 71" by LUCIA (Pop Artist from Florida(FL))

2009-10-22T18:29:00.001-07:00

"Studio 71" is a catchy and comfortable Pop album by the talented singer/songwriter LUCIA. Her very natural Jazzy voice is supported by R&B instrumentation with Pop and Rock flavors. The songs, "All of It" and "Ball of Hypocrisy" show off her more upbeat and catchy side. But she also shows her soft side with delicate tracks like "Dream You Alive" and "A Little More Time." It is always refreshing to hear an artist who can play an instrument as well as sing. LUCIA excels with her piano accompaniments and angelic vocals on her debut album, "Studio 71" which is why this CD is a must have addition for fans of fresh and original Pop music.

"I Will Wait-Single" by Gigger (Pop Artist from Norway)

2009-10-20T19:33:00.001-07:00

"I Will Wait-Single" is the debut song by talented London artist Gigger. The song is a promising view into the future of this artist's career. His voice is soft, sweet, and full of passion. His guitar work is perfect and shows the same emotion as his voice. Plenty of artists like Damien Rice, Matt Pond PA, Denison Witmer, and others have paved the way for Gigger to succeed. Well produced as this single was mastered at Abbey Road Studios and is sure to gain a little street credentials among the Indie music community. In short, keep your eyes out for more compositions from the talented Acoustic Pop musician, Gigger.

"Chasing Sunsets" by Ryan Cowley (Pop Artist from New Zealand)

2009-10-20T19:18:00.001-07:00

Releasing his album "Chasing Sunsets," Ryan Cowley offers listeners a collection of charming and calming Acoustic Pop music. Cowley's lyrics emit an urge to be free and live easy, giving the listener a soothing and relaxing feel. You can feel this vibe as you listen to the track "Orbit" as it is also complemented by sweet, haunting female vocals. "How Do You Mend a Broken Heart?" has the poppy feel of a John Mayer or Dave Matthews Band single. Cowley appears to take the position that too many instruments can dilute the message of a song, and sticks with the classic 4-piece guitar, bass, piano, and drum combo. The outcome of this classic small group is a beautiful blend of delightful, lighthearted pop melodies. "Chasing Sunsets" is an overall good listen and will fit snugly next to the Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson albums in your collection.

"Bucks County" by Paul Marturano (Pop Artist from Pennsylvania(PA))

2009-10-17T18:23:00.001-07:00

"Bucks County" by Paul Marturano is a peppy mix of piano and guitar that can appeal to many listeners. Marturano writes piano compositions that take influences from story singers like Billy Joel, Elton John, and John Mellencamp and also delivers a soul coming out of the late 70's. Marturano's vocals are polished and project expression on each and every melodic song. His crisp and clean piano work is highlighted on the track "One And A Half Years Old." His crafty songwriting is best represented by "The Man," an upbeat tune with a bouncy piano line and a crunching guitar on rhythm. Every track has its own separate feeling and charm. "Bucks County" takes the roads well traveled by piano driven Pop/Rock and comes out with an album well worth hearing.

"Gone Too Soon" by Paul Alexander (Pop Artist from Long Island, New York(NY))

2009-10-15T19:45:00.001-07:00

Paul Alexander's beautiful album "Gone Too Soon" almost begs you to have a glass of wine and stare out your back window while the album spins in the background. His voice is intriguing and calming, and his emotive lyrics are well worth listening to. The accompaniments on this album have a smooth jazz and warm, cozy pop feel. A familiar cover "I Hope You Dance" plays early in the album, enticing the listener into the soft and gentle ambiance Alexander delivers with his sweet and tender voice. Later, "Mama a Rainbow" offers some crisp and clean jazz piano that complements the hopeful and sincere lyrics. "Gone Too Soon" highlights Paul Alexander's vision and voice and will be enjoyed by lovers of easy listening Pop and big band music alike.

"Raw Shaw" by Graham Shaw (Pop/Rock Artist from Ontario, Canada)

2009-10-13T19:32:00.001-07:00

Talented singer/songwriter Graham Shaw serves up an entertaining collection of Pop, Blues, and Folk songs on his delightful album "Raw Shaw." As you listen to this album, you will hear fresh and original music at its best as it is well produced and has a nice dynamic balance. Shaw's vocals are clean with crisp clarity and at times project edgy, tough attitude as you can hear on the upbeat Bluesy song "Debbie Rae." The bouncy beat on "Keep Yer Face On Straight" is vibrant and lively and displays a colorful country influence. Showing a softer side, the ballads, "Draw Your Face" and "Once in a While" emits heartfelt lyrics sung with thought provoking tonality. The endlessly enjoyable album, "Raw Shaw" offers a variety of wonderful songs with a beautiful blend of Pop, Blues, and Folk and is an album well worth hearing.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Marc James with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Maximum Action "

2009-10-05T19:27:00.001-07:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Marc James with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Maximum Action "

Marc James' 8-song CD, "Maximum Action," is a brilliant mix of David Bowie-meets-Bryan Ferry Euro-pop that is fit for a dance club as well as for a cabaret. Relying primarily on ambient, synth-infused soundscapes, James delivers wry, clever, and funny lyrics with an arch delivery invoking a dapper rogue completely unaware of his obviousness. The lead track, "The Perfect Stranger," captures this most effectively with a dry but melodic vocal in full seductive mode. "Hard Driving Music" rides a bouncing disco-like bass-line in a tuneful exercise that is pure schmaltz ("Do you want to swing, to dance, and sway to that hard driving rocking and rolling") - and is absolutely irresistible. On "Tribute to Marilyn" (yes, Monroe) James references Ray Davies' classic "Celluloid Heroes" with a straight-faced ingenuousness that is as subversive as it is catchy. Closing the album as strongly as it begins, "You Have A Secret" is built on a classic doo-**** chord progression that becomes transformed by a breathy, understated narrative (a la Leonard Cohen), and embellished by a solemn and perfect background chorus. In the end, Marc James' "Maximum Action" CD is that rare intriguing album by an artist that will win you over with his lush, melodic accessibility.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Identity Crisis with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Mosaic "

2009-10-04T20:42:00.001-07:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Identity Crisis with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Mosaic "

Mosaic is defined as "a combination of diverse elements forming a more or less coherent whole." Identity Crisis and their CD "Mosaic," is appropriately titled as this collection of varying styles tells a love story through numerous musical genres. With both male and female vocals, the album has a refreshing inconsistency that's bound to keep you engaged. "The Idea of You" takes a Bossa Nova approach, putting the listener in an elegant surrounding but don't get too comfortable; "Best of Yourself" captures a smoky bar ambiance through an 8-bar blues number. The harmonies are spectacular as you will hear on songs such as "Beyond." There are horns, harmonica, harmony, and solid and concrete musicianship that hold it all in place. These musicians have formed a strong and sound connection and the chemistry between them is brilliant. The password is "Mosaic," come on in.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Jerad Finck with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Jerad Finck"

2009-09-30T19:06:00.001-07:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Jerad Finck with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Jerad Finck"

Jerad Finck's self-titled debut CD is a 12-song showcase for a newcomer with the discerning instincts of a pop-rock veteran. Whether delivering frantic, insistent rockers like "Another" or achingly delicate ballads "Movin' On," the CD is a model of pop balance and rock fire. While several tracks benefit from nuanced and deftly-charted string arrangements, the driving rhythm of "You" and the blistering guitar solo of "Whatever You Want" ensure that the rock in pop-rock gets its due. And with hooks as big as the great outdoors, combined with a solid, in-the-pocket rhythm section, "Jerad Finck" shows a power-pop sensibility that would make The Knack proud. Check out Finck's bold and utterly contemporary arrangement of "Paperback Writer" and you get a sense not only of Jared's craftsmanship, but also of the singer-songwriter's artistic confidence. Mainstream in its accessibility and sincerity, "Jerad Finck" is a pop-rock CD that is also original, honest, and a fine debut from a talented young performer.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Kim Esty with a GrIndie Award for the CD "He Doesn’t Like Me… (He Likes My Brother)"

2009-08-22T19:20:00.001-07:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Kim Esty with a GrIndie Award for the CD "He Doesn't Like Me… (He Likes My Brother)"

"He Doesn't Like Me… (He Likes My Brother)," the new CD-single from accomplished dance-pop songstress Kim Esty, is a delicious slice of Electronica worthy of the singer's clear affinity for the genre's queen bee, Madonna. Boasting 7 different remixes (by Whisper Twins vs SBD and Dr. Octavo Versace), "He Doesn't Like Me…" – in all its permutations, is as catchy as it is danceable. Esty's multi-layered vocals soaring over the thrust of the programmed beats creates a sonic wash perfect for the dance floor. And tossing off the clever hook line like a straight-faced Kirsty MacColl only adds to the fun. Both sly and infectious, and featuring instrumental remixes as well, Kim Esty's CD-single delivers on all fronts.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Oriana LaRusso with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Oriana’s Opiphany"

2009-08-22T18:26:00.001-07:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Oriana LaRusso with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Oriana's Opiphany"

"Oriana's Opiphany," the second released CD from Oriana LaRusso, is a smart and contemporary collection of dance-pop tunes by a young singer with the poise and polish of a seasoned vet. LaRusso's sometimes sultry and smoky voice plays off a synth and beat-laden soundtrack in a way that is often original and compelling. On the ballad, "More Time," she shows remarkable control at the lower register of her voice while on the R&B-drenched "Not Anymore" she commands the middle register like a love-weary chanteuse. The bulk of the CD sports a predominantly Urban / Top 40 dance feel with LaRusso not only up to the material but leading it with a heady confidence. If at times you hear echoes of Madonna ("Pass Me By") or Shakira ("Watch Me"), or even J-Lo ("Standing Still in Love"), one realizes the lofty aspirations the singer has set for herself. To its credit, "Oriana's Opiphany" is a fine showcase for a singer with not only ambition, but talent as well.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Cardona with a GrIndie Award for the CD "You’ll Like It"

2009-08-22T16:35:00.001-07:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Cardona with a GrIndie Award for the CD "You'll Like It"

Cardona's CD, "You'll Like It" employs synthesizer, echo, some propulsive drumming and, on the opening title track, a jazzy dollop of electric piano, to push the dance-centric and uptown-leaning musical agenda of Brooklyn performer, Joe Cardona. This three song disc verily smacks of unbuttoned satin shirts, garish medallions, and dance floors ablaze under flashing club lights as Cardona croons in an almost drone-like and atonal - but loosely melodic, voice about the everyday "give and take" that is modern urban life. Eschewing deeply meaningful or profound lyrics, "You'll Like It" boasts the kinds of street-tough brashness of a testosterone-fueled Brooklyn club-crawler. For instance, on the title track, Cardona warbles, "the more you lick, the more you'll taste…and the more you'll like it," while on the unsentimental "Shut Up Baby," he refuses to pull any punches, singing "shut up, shut up, baby." Made for the dance floor by an artist with the milieu that fires his muse, the CD "You'll Like It" is a well played, well produced, multi-sonic exploration of the urban experience that is sure to inspire more than just booty-shaking.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Alan Curtis with a GrIndie Award for the CD "More Than I Can Be"

2009-08-20T16:22:00.001-07:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Alan Curtis with a GrIndie Award for the CD "More Than I Can Be"

On his first solo album, "More Than I Can Be," Alan Curtis blends an array of roots rock influences with creative arrangements. The CD opens with "Ten in Heaven," a retro allusion that could lend itself to the likes of Brian Wilson or The Traveling Wilbury's while not swaying too left of contemporary. Through vocally driven songs, Curtis establishes his unique character while also keeping the layering fresh and engaging throughout. With a heartfelt piano ballad as heard on the title track "More Than I Can Be" followed by dance inducing beats, Curtis's love for rock n roll is lucid in each song. Feel the driving drum beats on "Greed (Money, Money, Money)" while vocals belt out melodic lyrics and the organ holds solid chord progressions. If your old Tom Petty records have lost their thrill, this new CD may be a solid successor.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Daniele Meo with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Pezzi Rotti"

2009-08-18T18:44:00.001-07:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Daniele Meo with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Pezzi Rotti"

Solo artist, Daniele Meo's debut album "Pezzi Rotti" is an impressive collection of original pop/rock songs. This young and talented artist is not only an accomplished singer, but a strong and solid writer as well. His vocals have a distinct, delicate and melodic quality that gives the lyrics an engaging feel. The production and recording quality of this CD is excellent, as the tracks are mainstream radio-ready. The guitar bends on "II Profumo Di Te" blends the pop/rock style on this energetic tune. "Le Meraviglie Del Mondo" features progressive touches of synth and percussion which really balances well with the vocals. On the titled track "Pezzi Rotti" the piano and strings driven version is expressive and shows the artistic range of this performer. Check out the enjoyable disc "Pezzi Rotti" especially if you like to hear refreshing pop/rock tunes.

"On the Other Side" by Dwayne Ford (Pop Artist from Canada)

2009-08-14T21:31:00.001-07:00

With a relaxed yet soulful voice, perfectly suited to his original Adult Contemporary songs, Dwayne Ford's new CD, "On the Other Side," is a smooth blend of Soft Rock & pop influences delivered with fitting and understated polish. Befitting a music veteran with such an accomplished resume (he has worked with the likes of David Foster, Toto & Donovan, among others), the award-winning singer-songwriter's gift for melody and crafting meaningful lyrics is front and center on this 8-song collection. "East Side Girls," with its female chorus, has a classic jazzy sound reminiscent of Steely Dan, while title-track, "On the Other Side," shimmers with an ethereal vibe that's both grounded and other-worldly. CD-opener "Please Don't Say You Care," with caressing strings and engaging hook, plays to Ford's strengths as a singer, while the final tune, "Who Did You Do To Us," with its more insistent rhythm and gorgeous organ fills, simply leaves you wanting more. Mixed between arresting melodies from beginning to end, two instrumentals showcase a stellar studio band, as well as spotlighting Ford's arranging prowess. An album that's ultra radio-friendly – in a good way, Dwayne Ford's "On the Other Side" CD is sure to please Adult Contemporary & Easy Listening listeners.
