Kenny Wesley |“ Won’ t Let It Go”
Imagine Rock, Pop, Alternative, Soul and R & B music being in the palm of your hand. Visualize notes and sounds coming alive to make beautiful music at the command of your soul. Kenny Wesley is touching the spines of many genres, breathing life back into a generation and time of music where emotions seem to be all about disrespect, confusion, depression, and having a good time at someone else’ s
expense or even the expense of self-deconstruction. With his single,“ Won’ t Let It Go”, he uses his voice to capture and captivate all ears around, and he does it in such a soulful manner. His voice commands you to listen in such a soulful manner. It captures you. Kenny is the“ soulful nerd”. I listen to his song on repeat as I write this review and all I can do is smile and feel at peace,“ Another Step, Another Cry” he says ….” Won’ t Let Go”. Sigh. To listen to Kenny sing is like a story that you never want to hear The End. As the song comes to the end I know that I must press play again, I can’ t leave my soul hungry and wanting more. He is a North Carolina born, D. C. based artist who is currently working on a ground-breaking album project with L. A.-based producer and musical kindred Noah Lifschey, whose signature cutting-edge sounds are a staple in the TV and music world, ranging from The Oscars and America’ s Best Dance Crew to the MTV Movie and Music Awards, and various record labels.

Carolyn Malachi | Free Your Mind( You Don’ t Want To Miss This)
Who could turn down an opportunity to dance and release energy? I sure can’ t!“ Free Your Mind( You Don’ t Want To Miss This)” by Carolyn Malachi featuring Tarus Mateen is another successful song that she has released. There are sounds of electronic, tribal, soul and jazz music while offering a modern twist with poetic rap / spoken word. She allows women to feel empowered and ready to conquer and confront whatever maybe in there way of success and inner strength. Why can’ t we get back to music that uplifts our spirits, offers a great beat, and has a message? Well, Carolyn is giving us that and so much more with lyrics like,“ I’ mma walk, I’ mma talk, I’ mma live like a queen” and” Wherever you are, your mind put you there..” Carolyn is a beautiful woman inside and out, and if you ever meet her call her Sunshine, a name given by her aunt when she was a child. She would tell her,“ Sunshine, remember your power.” Carolyn says that“ power” is the
expectation that whatever is planted in the garden of the mind will indeed grow onward and upward." She lets her power do just that through her music, like a plant firmly rooted and growing onward and upward; bringing joy, peace, hope, and encouragement into many lives. She is currently on her spring 2013 tour,“ The Road to Gold”, with two performances left in Atlanta, GA and Baltimore, MD. If you do not get a chance to attend the final dates she will also be performing this summer in the PA, MD, and DC area.
