Evan Russell Saffer - Chemical Marketplace

Evan Russell Saffer's new video "Chemical Marketplace" from his debut solo album Neon Gas begins with Saffer going to see a doctor, who instead of nurses, has two very intimidating looking "gents" who open the door, speaking every word in sync as those their minds have been melded together. He finally gets to see the doc, proclaims that he's not feeling very well, to which the "doctor" replies: "I think I have something for you." He is then held down by the in sync twosome, while the doc gives him a "shot". The video then switches scenes back and forth between the office and Saffer performing "Chemical Marketplace" in a club setting. It's a fitting video for the song, which starts off with a frenzied but very much in control electric guitar with hard rock drums, which are then joined by a second electronic guitar and an anthemic wail of rock that leads into the first verse. The track is dubbed a floor-it-with-your-head-out-the-window drug anthem, and you will bob your head, move your body, and let your senses go wild with this sensationally well put together masterpiece. It's non-stop hard rock at its best.

AO Music Sings A Universal Message

AO Music captures the true essence of heartfelt worldly music on their track 'Ena Na Lena'. This song is beautiful, light and uplifting. It begins with Michael Cooney's celtic penny-whistle that breaks into an incredible African world drum beat. Singing on this track is Johannesburg's Bishop Bavin St. George's Children's Choir, and they give the song a feeling of innocence and deep meaning. The music video that accompanies this track displays images of nature and people from all over the world in their native element. 'Ena Na Lena' is a Afro-Celtic world anthem that foreshadows the power of love and unity by bringing together people from every corner of the world.

One World, One People, One Voice: the message is in the music of ....and Love Rages On! With their new album, released today, AO Music have created a collection of global grooves that manage to be both soothing and propulsive. The music's cinematic sweep and an impressive dynamic range combines booming, percussive cadences from all over the world with melodic vocal and instrumental interludes – recorded in real time by real musicians -- and the sounds of children's choirs from the United States, South Africa, China and the Republic of Georgia.

JOMO - What I Want

JOMO’s hip hop track “What I Want” isn’t your average hip hop song. Featuring clever lyrics that are backed up by a strong beat and a nice hook, including horns that come in and really put the funk in it, “What I Want” packs a lyrical punch and is actually reminiscent of 2Pac’s sound. There’s nothing to guess about here – just JOMO letting you know: “What I Want, Son is to get my cash/What I Want, Money, is not to live in the past/What I want, Cousin, is to rule the world/What I want, for once, is to trust my girl/”. The video is simple, deferring to the power of the lyrics and beat. The track “What I Want” has been licensed for the video game TECK DECK LIVE, FRONTLIER FILMS, ON THE THROTTLE TV, LG PICTURES, and the independent film, “800 Pound Gorilla” (a John Paxton Film), and other productions.

"I'm So Afraid" - A Duet By Diane Marino And Robert Lauri

The very talented ne Marino and Robert Lauri combine their musical worlds in an "international" duet of harmony and synergy in a French recording entitled "J'Ai Si Peur" (I'm So Afraid). The arrangements were done by Robert Lauri, who also composed the music along with Danielle Bennaim, with lyrics by Claudine Marousek-Dornhakl. The Marino-Lauri duet is unquestionably successful: Diane's voice complements Robert's beautifully, and the performance by both artists releases a magical harmony that tells the story of a couple who has been through the ups and downs of life and seen bad times, but who finally has found a love so strong and pure that they are finally no longer afraid anymore. Romantic to the core, whether you parlez vous Francais or not, you will enjoy this emotional and heart wrenching performance.

Lyrics: J'Ai Si Peur (I'm so Afraid)





I'm so afraid to see happiness vanishing


I know that trembling does not help


But how can we sleep quietly telling ourselves that nothing


Can take this away, not tomorrow, not ever


I'm so afraid that everything will break and die


In less than a day, in less than an hour


Quicker than we see flowers wither





I'm so afraid to see pain come,


To see misfortune invade our happy home


But how can we protect ourselves from torment, from the wind,


from the rain and anger and the demons of the earth


Oh, I'm so afraid that everything will break and die


In less than a day, in less than an hour


Despite myself, I'm so afraid



To be afraid cannot it harm happiness, our happiness


I fear it; however we owe him well


To have put a large blue sky in our life, our life


Beautiful words of love which shine upon all our days


Oh Now that far from us are the torments


Far from us all bad winds


The rains which wet springs


Don't be afraid don't be afraid of our hearts


Nothing can change the mood


To make evil with our happiness


Do not say any more I'm so afraid

"Don't Know Me" by Nenna Yvonne

"Don't Know Me" by Nenna Yvonne is an up tempo dance track, with an Electro/Techno beat to it. Her vocals are similar to a Britney Spears dance song with synthesized background vocals. It's a great song to get the dance floor packed and ideal for a nightclub. The video showcases Nenna singing and dancing in various scenes, attire and lighting with special affects as she gets the message across to her man that she's doing okay, she's not complicated, and he doesn't know her as well as he thinks he does. She's spunky and funky delivering the news with impact and style. If you don't know her, you'll want to by the video's end.
