“Path of the Heart” by David Zeller (Spiritual/World Artist from Israel)

"Path of the Heart" is the remastered version of Rabbi David Zeller's debut, first released in the '70s, and a multifaceted album filled with inspiring songs of love and spirituality. Zeller breeches different cultures, languages, and types of song to deliver seventeen heartfelt, sentimental, and uplifting tracks that are sure to touch your heart. This release is well-produced, and its remastery assures the best listening experience of these songs. "Path of the Heart" is primarily a traditional folk album, with Zeller's soft tenor voice delivering thought-provoking and touching lyrics. The songs are happy, spiritual, and in touch with nature. Some highlights include "'Tis the Gift," "I Circle Around," and "Sometimes It's Easy," a song about laughing, happiness, and life's struggles, with a memorable chorus: "Everybody's got to have them some happy's." The Rabbi also digs into the Judaic musical repertoire with the simple and beautiful "Shalom" and "A Chassidic Melody." What's more, Zeller opens the album with some beautiful Native American flute work on the track "Listen Listen Listen." Other songs are more hymn-lenient, but they all share the qualities of having come straight from Zeller's heart. Fans of spiritual traditional folk should definitely pick up "Path of the Heart."

“Renaissance of Grace” by Aurora Juliana Ariel (World Artist from Hawaii(HI))

"Renaissance of Grace" is the beautiful solo debut from Hawaiian new age/gypsy artist Aurora Juliana Ariel. Centered around the exotic, sensual, and worldly vocals of Ariel, and with the help of multi-instrumentalist and backing vocalist Bruce BecVar, this album delivers nine solid new age songs that fans of the genre and new age newcomers alike can thoroughly enjoy. The musical arrangements are led by stunningly and skillfully styled fingerpicking acoustic guitar work, though they incorporate a number of exotic and worldly instruments, such as the flute, violin, and percussive instruments, as well as light ambience, to perfectly accompany Ariel and BecVar's stellar vocal performances. The songs are mystical, transcendent, and uplifting, and take you to a happy place. "Renaissance of Grace" is well-recorded with a great balance of vocals and arrangements, and has a great sound for wine tastings or relaxation. "Breathless Wind" is a slow-paced track with some flute work, an excellent fingerpicking guitar arrangement, and great vocal harmony between Ariel and BecVar. "Under a Shiva Moon" has a solid arrangement with nicely layered rhythm and lead guitars, a nice beat, and immaculate dueling and harmonic vocals between Ariel and BecVar. "Renaissance of Grace" is truly an incredible debut from Aurora Juliana Ariel with something to offer not only new age and world music fans, but also music fans in general.

“Antìpodi” by Andrea Esposito (World Artist from Italy)

"Antìpodi" by Andrea Esposito is a collection of beautiful acoustic guitar and double-bass duo pieces that incorporate a variety of styles and influences including classical, flamenco, Brazilian, and jazz. The guitar style of Esposito is complimented extremely well by the double-bass of Luca Chiaraluce, with each musician contributing to each composition both individually as well as collectively. The majority of the tunes have a theme, followed by an improvisational section, and then a finale. Listen to the fittingly titled "Freedom," a prime example of their ability to stay within the harmonic structure of the tune while also having the freedom to improvise. Chiaraluce provides a spacious groove, allowing Esposito to weave his guitar lines through the framework of the song. "Beijo" is a gorgeous bossa-nova piece, with Esposito providing a beautiful melody over Chiaraluce's supportive, continuous groove. The Flamenco-influenced "Zàngola" is another fantastic track, offering a brilliant melody and a danceable rhythm. "Senza Rete" is of a free, ethnic nature, creating an airy, stimulating mood and texture. The Brazilian flavor of "Ansia" features a great swinging rhythm and spirited interaction between the two musicians. This music would be appealing to fans of jazz, acoustic, and new age music, as well as most anyone who enjoys improvised instrumental music.
