aysha
A sexy mid tempo groove reminiscing on a new romance evoking happy and sensual thoughts of being together again, because the love feels “So Real” Extended Notes: After a hiatus to focus on her acting career, Aysha is back in the studio recording her 4th album with the first single being “So Real”.

TOM BRAXTON
Tom Braxton hails from west Texas…Lubbock, to be exact. His NEW album FLASHBACK is a love letter that pays tribute to his roots and formative years on the Great Plains. The collection contains material that reflects Tom’s past through the lens of his contemporary smooth jazz perspective. The listener will be looking back and grooving forward! On the album focus track, Tom celebrates family with “Ruby J.”, a spirited groove for his sister which features LA keyboardist/producer, Herman Jackson. Ruby's early piano playing inspired Braxton to begin his musical journey around 8 years of age.
dee brown
Blake Aaron introduced me to this song, suggesting it sounded like a “dee Brown” track. After listening to it, I couldn’t agree more. We decided to collaborate on another track, and this would be an ideal opportunity for Blake Aaron to produce, write, engineer, and arrange this beautiful song. The melody was captivating, and the groove of the music made me feel like dancing with a joyful energy. Since my new album title is “Living the Good Life,” this song would be the perfect first release from the album, especially during the summer months. We named it “Summer Cruise.” Reflecting on my hometown of Detroit, during the warm summer months, you can drop your top on your convertible, in the evening and cruise down Woodward Avenue.
BLAIR BRYANT
Silk and Suede is the sexy and sophisticated new tune from bassist Blair Bryant. Setting a moody atmosphere like cigar smoke hanging heavy in a room, this bass line gets in your soul. With spiffy horn lines from Donald Hayes smooth as cognac by the fire at your favorite speakeasy, this tune is a burning vibe. Blair is is bringing the rough and smooth just like silk and suede.
ALEX CROWN
Golden Haze is a warm, feel-good instrumental blending smooth jazz and melodic instrumental pop. Led by a summery nylon-string guitar melody, the track moves with a relaxed, easygoing groove. Inspired by Italian beaches and sunlit seaside bars, the song carries a bright, pop-forward and carefree vibe. Written by Alex Crown and Jonathan Fritzén, the track features Fritzén on electric piano, Jonas Lindberg on bass, Fredrik “Fredo” Östlund on drums, and Conny Lindgren on saxophone.
