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 .
