"Evolution of a Love Affair Volume 1" by Duprai Marcel (R&B Artist from New York City, New York(NY))

"Evolution of a Love Affair Volume 1" by Duprai Marcel is an urban R&B pop album that features a soulful voice and a very modern sound. The songs on this excellent CD jump out at you. Marcel's voice is timeless, and the arrangements are full of catchy hooks that you'll want to sing and dance to. "Evolution of a Love Affair Volume 1" features Marcel's distinct urban R&B vocals and overall sound. His powerful delivery with cutting edge accompaniment will remind you musically of R. Kelly and Usher. The excellent production value readies the album for any sound medium. Highlights include the opener, "Dreams," which establishes hip-hop and R&B vibes and gives the listener an intimate taste of the artist's voice. "Hit Me Up" is ready to hit the club, with a fat beat and extreme shake-ability. "My Baby" closes things out with a great little soul number with a jazzy/bluesy flavor. If you enjoy modern R&B and talented male vocalists, start a new "Love Affair" with Duprai Marcel.

"Northern Drive" by Clare Cooper is driving Country Rock that features a Pop element. The songs are complete and well arranged with lots of layers. Clare has an impressive classic country voice and the album features some great harmonies. Overall, the musicianship and production on the CD are very professional. The concept is fun and happy. You'll also hear some great changes and an overall uniqueness. The album opens with "Colorado" and features fun lyrics and a big sound with some beautiful harmonies. "Cosmo and Manhattan" tells a story and throws a bit of an Adult Contemporary vibe at you. "Hole in the Wall" has a sinister vibe to it, cool horns and another fun story. If you want to check out a fun, cross-genre CD, with elements of country, adult contemporary, and rock give this CD a listen.

"Blue Circle" by Dave Foster (Pop Artist from New York City, New York(NY))

RadioIndy is pleased to present Dave Foster with a GrIndie award for their CD "Blue Circle"
 
Getting inside the music of "Blue Circle" by Dave Foster is likened to a journey to the center of the Earth, radically different yet refreshingly welcoming, as a traveler to a foreign land comes across a landmark that has beckoned for years. This songwriter reminded us of greats like John Lennon and even Dave Matthews; thought-provoking and versatile lyrically, along with a masterful use of modern beats, funky throw-backs, and synthesized vocals. We especially enjoyed "Falling To Pieces", which combines all of the aforementioned elements of genius songwriting, production, and performance. Way far out front vocals and bitter raw emotion drive us to pick our favorite, "All You Gave To Me", for it's contemporary bass-line and hip lyrical makeup.
