"Invazion" by Fourth Dimension (Reggae Artist from Florida(FL))

Fourth Dimension's latest album, "Invazion" is a compilation of vibrant and upbeat Reggae music that has a very modern and refreshing sound. "Dis Ya Music" is an upbeat number with an undulating rhythm, brass highlights, great harmonies, and lyrics that celebrates music itself. "When The Pressure Drop" is a song with more of a contemplative beat over which the vocals charms the listener with uplifting lyrics. "Frequency" is more of a funky Caribbean song with an active beat that entices one to get up and dance along. Overall, this is a highly animated and spirited Reggae album that takes on many social issues while at the same time brings forth a positive celebration of life.

"Nocturne" by Colyn Fischer & Shauna Pickett-Gordon (World Artist from San Francisco, California(CA))

"Nocturne" is the latest album from the duo Colyn Fischer & Shauna Pickett-Gordon. This is a wonderfully unique album, in which we hear solely the piano and violin combine into a superb collection of music that is part Celtic, part classical, and part Jazz. In "First Rain of the New Year" we hear both instruments delight the listener in their own way, the violin heartfelt while the piano softly accompanies with a sweet and somber tone. "The Stream is High" is an energetic number in which the violin calls out thrillingly as the piano frolics delightfully alongside. "The Astronomer" is a number that really shows how these musicians can fuse traditional Celtic music with a more contemporary jazz sound. All in all, this entire album is a true celebration of the fantastic potential inherent within the simple pairing of a violin and piano in the right musicians' hands. Fans of Celtic music, as well as those of avant-garde Jazz music, would do themselves a favor by listening to Colyn Fischer & Shauna Pickett-Gordon's album, "Nocturne."

"Real Love" by SamO & JFC (Reggae Artist from Virginia(VA))

SamO & JFC's new CD, "Real Love," is a fun-loving and energetic collection of contemporary Caribbean music incorporating reggae, soca and calypso rhythms and influences. Title track "Real Love" is a celebration of true love put to an energetic reggae beat with terrific brass highlights. "Obama Victory Song" employs a reggae rhythm to express admiration for the 1st African-American president. "Heel and Toe" is more of a modern Caribbean dance song, and includes instruction for the 'heel and toe' dance. With roots and dance-hall and other reggae styles all blending in a celebration of island music, SamO & JFC's "Real Love" CD is a wonderful 12-song mix for dancing or just soaking up the sun-drenched sounds of the Caribbean.
