Independent musician Matthew Ryan is releasing his latest album, Dear Lover, in digital format today. The CD is available at most digital music stores including: iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, Emusic, The Nokia Store and more.
I had to make sure I put in the right CD when the intro to “City Life” blared out of the speakers. With an electronica vibe accompanying Ryan’s vocals, it gives a refreshing feel to a familiar voice. Ryan’s previous albums also included some songs with a hint of electronica sound, but “City Life” is a track that takes it to a new place.
Ryan keeps an upbeat tempo feel with the title track, “Dear Lover,” which begins with a heart felt vocal asking, “Tell me what want. Tell me what you want…,” over a simple distorted riff. This song proves to show how emotionally sound and powerful his vocals can be. There are very few artists in the rock genre whose vocals can outshine the instruments.
A new saxophonist is on the rise in contemporary jazz. Hulon, who brings a fresh perspective on jazz with old-school style, will be releasing his debut CD, First Impressions.

First Impressions, is scheduled for release in early 2010.
When asked about this new CD and artist, Jeff Kashiwa said, “It’s every producer’s dream to come across an artist who has three qualities: drive to develop their unique voice, enthusiasm for creating music and passion to perform. Hulon posses all of these qualities.

In a world where bands are signed after being discovered on Myspace, recording original material is a must for any band that wants to become popular. Bands such as My Chemical Romance, Gym Class Heroes, Boys Like Girls, and Valencia are examples of bands who were given the opportunity to reach their dreams through the music website Purevolume.com.
Although the internet helped these bands become popular, having music available at shows was another way for them to get their music out. In this context, an important financial decision bands need to make is whether to sell their original music as a pressed disc or give it away for free. A “pressed” disc is one that includes professionally made artwork and cover along with the songs. The minimum cost for bands making a pressed CD is usually between $3,500 and $4,000. Making music available to the public in this fashion can be very expensive for a band and requires that the band be very dedicated so that the effort is not wasted by the band breaking up.
