MusicLoad - Amazing Handpicked Music

Gaby Moreno lands song as main theme track for new NBC TV show

Congratulations to Gaby Moreno. NBC just announced that an instrumental track she wrote two weeks ago will be featured as the main theme music to their new show entitled Parks & Recreation, debuting April 9th on NBC at 8:30 PM.

Something of note about Gaby that MusicLoad has noticed is that Gaby likes to play at every opportunity, and as a result, has performed in places that other artists might feel too bitchen to play. It's not doubt to us that her incremental successes that she has been achieving are due to her incredible work ethic and her wonderfully kind and genuinely humble attitude. She is a true gem of a human being.

As many artists ask MusicLoad for advice on how to get ahead and where the opportunities are, we look to artists like Gaby Moreno for inspiration. She's not trying too hard and there has never been anything desperate about her. She exudes a willingness to listen, rather than to talk. Her vibe, along with that of her team, is that they are doing what they are meant to be doing and that they are not missing any steps along the way. They are walking the walk, the long way, and enjoying every step. . And, of course, Gaby's music comes first and has that thing people know as "it". All of the other good qualities might be meaningless without that.

Two different and free MP3 Downloads of Gaby are featured at MusicLoad.Com

Hear Eva Holbrook - A Most Favorite MusicLoad Find,. Ever!

Mandolin player/vocalist Eva Holbrook is a artist whose sound is so sweet, you might cry when you hear it. We have no idea who to compare it to. It's part lullaby, part gypsy mountain, part folk, part classical, part pop and many other things such as "it".

Enjoy!

Chris Tiritilli - Killer Pop Voice and a Grooving Sound on his track entitled So Wrong

As dozens of new friend requests came across MusicLoad's myspace page at myspace.com/musicload every day, we are not always that stoked. If we find a great track every few days, we consider ourselves lucky. Digging for a needle in a haystack is a gross understatement. But, it's a blast when we come across artists or bands that we know are vastly unknown to most of the world while having that special thing we like to call "it".

A few days ago, we were lucky enough to come across a tasty pop artist from Naperville, Illinois named Chris Tiritilli. His track entitled So Wrong is the one that made us take more than one listen. His voice is smooth and his guitar playing is tasty. We hope you enjoy this gem of a new unknown as much as we did.

A free mp3 download of Chris Tiritilli's track entitled So Wrong is available at MusicLoad.Com for a limited time. Enjoy!

Ayo - Life Is Real (Music Video)

When I first came across the fabulous artist named Nneka, I was lucky enough to stumble upon the artist in the video below, simply known as Ayo. She is not new and the song below was recorded for a album which was released in 2006 in parts of Europe.

A definite top MusicLoad.Com favorite that we've found hidden, this fine international lady has one of the sweetest voices. She lays her heart and soul right out on the table. She is very well known in France and Germany, especially, where she has platinum sales status as a recording artist, yet she is virtually unknown in the United States. It's a shame for now, but something we'd like to change. (Gregory J. Chamberlain)

(Turn up the volume on this video, for the mastering level is/was not the best)

Please press the play button on the video below and choose the high resolution & full screen options. At the conclusion of this song, over one hour of handpicked music videos will continue to play automatically.

Who is Bettye LaVette? - She is someone you believe, when she sings the blues.

For those who many ask the question, who is Bettye LaVette? The best answer might be that she is someone you believe when she sings the blues.

Just below is low-fi video of Bettye's performance at the inauguration of President Obama. This youtube video does not do her justice compared to the way she looked and sounded on a digital feed with super nice studio monitors warming our ears. We are looking for a more souped up copy of this performance if anyone has one!

While Jon Bon Jovi sounded as contrived as a cruise ship singer in search of his pinkie ring, Bettye gave it more meaning and seriously laid it down, for real, on this most historic day. Enjoy! GC

Nneka - Favorite MusicLoad.Com Global Artist

Nneka, one of the most inspired independent minded artists, is a new top MusicLoad favorite.

Research uncovered she is well known to many around the world and her sound is gradually creeping everywhere like a great flood. She has received critical acclaim from major artists in America such as Lauren Hill. Her sound has that originality that surely has staying power, for it lacks that time perishibility factor.

Nneka's sound is a blend of super funky soul hip-hop reggae influences with her own raging African roots at the core. She transitioned to Europe and Germany from her native Niger Delta region of Nigeria. She has her very own branded sound from song to song that lit up our world the second we heard it.

The songs me and my friends can't stop playing are the ones (seems to be almost all of her songs) that seem to reflect deep experience and heaviness about Africa. They are also uplifting for the rebel crowd and exceptionally grooving. Her lyrics evoke thought, activism and love.

In the video below, her song entitled "Africans" from her album "The Uncomfortable Truth" was shot on location in Lagos, Nigeria over two years ago. Words really do not suffice in describing Nneka. What a sound and a REAL voice! Enjoy! Peace Love Groove, GC

JaC Stone - A Favorite MusicLoad Unknown

Right now, MusicLoad is jazzed about a singer/songwriter from Australia who has this super tasty voice. Not the kind of voice with big pipes or anything like that. But a no stress story telling kind of voice, that is filled with subtle nuance. Enough in fact, that it provokes her stories to become visual in the listeners own head

As a 19 year old music student at a university in Australia, JaC Stone was required to record tracks as assignments, and these recordings show that her school is training students to make some very well made recordings. Not that there is any real major production. Her tracks are basically minimalist acoustic guitar, vocals with some recorded background vocals and some subtle shakers/rattles. The clarity and subtle nuances are right up in your face, yet seem so far away, as there is great depth to the minimalism. In our opinion, JaC Stone is a emerging new artist who many Joni Mitchell fans might like. That goes for fans of Jewel, Natalie Merchant, Lisa Loeb and Edie Brickell as well.

At the present time, a free download of JacCs track, I Could Say, is available for free download at MusicLoad. Com along with many other free mp3 downloads of amazing unknown artists and bands from around the world. Enjoy :)

Atlantic Recording Artist Hope Shorter's Song Leave Me in New York featured on new MTV show "The City"

Dear Friends,

Hope Shorter, one of MusicLoad's most favorite artists that we have ever featured, just added another notch to her resume with her track Leave Me In New York. The song is being featured tonight on MTV's new show called The City. The City debuts Dec 29, 2008.

As some may remember, with our ear to the street, MusicLoad had the privilege of hearing, photographing and featuring Hope back before she was ultimately heard and signed by one of the few remaining smart label heads in the business over at Atlantic Records.

Jac Stone - Young songwriter with depth turns out songs with that "it" thing.

JaC Stone, 19 year old songstress from the Gold Coast in Australia, has that thing MusicLoad.Com likes to call "it". In a subdued, but deliberate sense, JaC tells mostly personal stories that reflect a depth of human nature that the sleepwalkers of the world may never reflect on in their own lives the same way. But with that same sort of infectious flair that her sound has, she may turn on the minds of the deep and the sleepwalkers at the same time. Her guitar playing very tasty. No over or underplaying, for everything with JaC is just right ;) I predict she will break out in due time, like Suzanne Vega did in the early 80's." - Get a few complementary MP3 downloads of JaC Stone including the latest entitled You Missed The Point at MusicLoad.Com

In September they will performing at the Monterey Jazz Festival (website at MontereyJazzFestival.Org ) in Monterey, California and will perform many dates in Germany throughout the month of October.

Superfiz - French Metal Rockers and their track "Democratique Dictature"

Superfiz, the French Metal Rockers who recently made a friend request via MusicLoad's MySpace page, have a very intriguing metal sound that grabbed our attention, however, we do not speak French.

So, we referred to Babblefish, the Yahoo based language translation service to interpret the lyrics of a song entitled "Democratique Dictature". The title immediately made us think of the imperialistic nature of the U.S. Foreign and Domestic Policy. But not being sure, we did the translation. Being a free translation service, it's not perfect, but the lyrics are as follows:

French lyrics of "Democratique Dictature":

Te souviens tu d'un jour de gloire ?
Du défilé sur les boulevards ?
La cravate au vent , le champagne au frais
Et le mot plein d'espoir
Certains en ont versé une larme
Mais d'autres en ont pleuré

Le drapeau pour l'intox rassemblant sous la banniere
Observateur lointain de nos vies de misere

Mais quoi de neuf pour nous ?
Une démocratique dictature les civils au garde-à-vous.
Et quoi de plus pour nous ?
Meme si tu n'as plus rien , ils te prendront tout.

Traqueur de luxe , milieu mondain
Messages codés , nuits de satin
Un seigneur de fer pour réprimer la guerre
Et mieux gonfler son butin
Mélangeant les couleurs de peaux
Pour des coups d'épée dans l'eau

La rigueur dans les mots , un porte-feuille dans la tete
Peu importe le chaos pourvu que tout s'achete

Mais quoi de neuf pour nous ?
Une democratique dictature , les servils comme garde fou
Et quoi de plus pour nous ?
Meme si tu ne leur dois rien , ils te prendront tout.

On voit ici tous les asservis qui osent
se raccrocher par depit aux faux espoirs de leur cause !!
--------------------
English Translation of "Democratique Dictature" from http://babelfish.yahoo.com/

Te you remember d' one day of glory? Procession on the boulevards? The tie with the wind, the champagne with the expenses And the full word d' hope Some poured a tear of it But d' others cried about it The flag for l' intox gathering under the banner remote Observer of our lives of misery But what is nine for us? A democratic dictatorship civilians with the attention. And what moreover for us? Same if you n' aces plus nothing, they will take all to you. Traquor of luxury, society man medium Coded messages, nights of satin An iron lord to repress the war And to better inflate its spoils Mixing the skin colors For blows d' sword in l' water The rigour in the words, a wallet in the head It does not matter chaos provided that all s' buy But what is nine for us? A democratic dictatorship, the servils like keeps insane And what moreover for us? Same if you do not owe them anything, they will take all to you. One sees here all controlled which dare to hang up again itself by spite with the false hopes of their cause!!
------------------------------------------

Bottom Line Is..... MusicLoad LOVES France and we like Superfiz. Guitarist Olivier Spitzer and vocalist Pierre Benvenuti know how to rock. Rock and Roll does live well around the world! And, Democracy is a buzzword for dictators to occupy. Rise Up, Rockers of the World! Rise Up!

REAL Jazz Sounds - Check out the Nick Hempton Band of NYC

In this day of supposed jazz with silly names like SMOOTH JAZZ and artists like Kenny G playing never ending introductions in legato, it is nice to us whenever some real jazz artists come along and blow the real deal. We do not care how successful some of these SMOOTH jazz artists are.... it's the downfall of music as far as we are concerned. MusicLoad is the Anti-Smooth Jazz. But then, some real artists occasionally walk through the door.

Glyn Parry - Super Soul Artist from the U.K.

It's like bliss to hear a new song and suddenly drift off, forgetting the days reality, if even for just a few bars. Glyn Parry did just that and more when we first heard him croon on one of his myspace pages at myspace.com/GlynParry

He has different MySpace pages for different projects that fit the broadness of his musical background. On his MySpace page, referenced above, are three songs that features more soul oriented music. Our favorite song titled track #2 which is titled Runaway. It's a beautiful song that might make you heart wrenchingly flash back to homeless souls or runaways you may see in your travels or in your own neighborhood. With lines such as "surrounded by, a tearful sky, no hope of love from passers by", Glyn Parry lays it down in the vein of early Boy George Culture Club B sides, with hints of Kenny Loggins meets Michael Mc Donald. He has this beautiful vibrato reminiscent of Aaron Neville. However, Glyn Parry delivers up his own identifiable vocal sound and is in no way copying or emulating.

On his my space page is a quote that sums really seems to sum him up: "It doesn't have to be perfect. Just needs a soul!"

Glyn Parry has that "it" thing in the soul department. I recommends major artists tap into Glyn for a hit song and more. If you are a music fan, just enjoy his songs while he is still unknown. We are pleased to have found this fine needle in the haystack. Enjoy!

Scott Holt - Thought Provoking Blues Artist with a HUGE guitar sound.

Photo of Scott Holt by Stephen Ferry

Thought provoking blues rocker, Scott Holt, is one of the hardest working blues artists you will find. Just check out his tour schedule and you'll know what we mean.

His blues tracks are hard hitting and grooving. His master guitar works will leave guitar fans very happy that this guy is helping keep the blues alive.

One of his songs entitled "How Do We Sleep" is what gives him that "Thought Provoker" title. He questions war, disease, poverty and how do we sleep knowing what we know. Artists who write thoughtful lyrics like this are heroes to us here at MusicLoad.

Hanggai - Traditional Chinese World Music Group based in Beijing - Most Interesting Music We Have Found In A While!

MusicLoad.Com presents the music of Hanggai

Hanggai is a traditional Chinese world music group from inner Mongolia, presently based in Beijing, China. It is one of the most interesting music groups MusicLoad has come across in quite a while. Whilst we cannot understand the Chinese lyrics, we are impressed and mezmerized by the quality of the instrumentation & compositions and the uniqueness of the voices. The music is pure and raw, yet it sounds as if the music is tailor made for a major motion picture soundtrack for the biggest of films. The music evokes a serious wide range emotions while listening. Enjoy! GC
