Sessions To Keep An Eye On

Thursday December 06, 2007 at 11:00 AM

I can sit here all day and pretend you're all here to read my witty comments, but the fact of the matter is you're here to record, collaborate and do all the other wonderful things musicians do.  With that in mind, here are a few sessions I've been digging on lately.  Hope you like them as much as I do.  Also, if you have a session you think needs a little front page love, email me at Streeter@IndabaMusic.com.

Rap Vocals Needed - Now, that is certainly not the name of the finished product so much as it is a callout for talent.  I know there are some rappers on here so why not lend your talents to this already catchy session? The hook is tight and very well produced, now all it needs is a flow.  Your flow?  Perhaps.  This is why Indaba was created, after all - to bring musicians together. 

 

Tongue Twisted - This is a problematic session for me because it's the kind of song that, when it's finished, I'd listen to often and then lie about listening to it around my friends.  You could tell me to grow up and stand behind the music I enjoy but I'd rather just pretend not to like a girl-rock.  Anyway, this session sounds like it's just a few steps from completion and it will be interesting to see how it's all wrapped up.  Stay tuned.   

 

And now let's say a quick hello to Charley Paige For starters, she has a great voice with (unless the computers have been fooling me) a formidable range.  Of the two tracks she has in her sample work, I'm a bigger fan of "Letting Go."  I think it shows off her soulful, bluesy voice better and it also sounds like Phil Collins came in to do the drum track.  Finally, and perhaps most intriguing, are her musical influences. One in particular stands out as vastly different from her style, The Smashing Pumpkins.  Respect, Charley. Respect.
