Jaakko Eino Kalevi enlists Alma Jodorowsky for “Palace In My Head”
A chance introduction by a mutual friend in Jaakko’s new home of Athens led to the wonderful collaboration with Alma. Writing the lyrics together for the exotic electro-pop track “was all very spontaneous and easy,” says Jaakko. “I had an early demo of this for many years on my computer and didn’t know how to finish it. I re-recorded it in the studio and luckily got Alma to help me finish the chorus part. The chorus and verse are from different worlds, in my opinion. The verse is very dramatic and dark and then the chorus is bright and comforting.”

Tennessee Holy Water embodies Southern Rock in new anthem “Choices”
The song starts with an attention-grabbing classically southern electric guitar riff that has you hooked. The drums soon join with a loud crash and the band melds together to create this awesome head-banging rock sound. The music mellows, dropping down to just guitar before a cymbal roll bringing us into the lyrics. Frontman Jesse Vickers’ smooth voice sings out the first line “Stepping through the door, I’ve been gone so long.” The band continues to rock out as Jesse reminisces on some of the past mistakes he’s made. In the chorus, he reminds us that time may heal all but the memories remain with the lyrics “Every wound heals but the scars don’t fade / They remind me each day of the choices I’ve made.” The song goes into an electrifying guitar solo that will blow you away.
Actor/Horror Icon COURTNEY GAINS Shares New Single, “Look Out”
“‘Look Out’ was originally written on acoustic guitar, as are many of my songs. It started with the verse and the line ‘The bigger they come, the harder they fall…’ popped into my head. That lead to the whole lyrical idea of having to throw a boxing fight. When the chorus came, the thought of ‘Look out your gonna hit the wall’ came through and that’s how it all came together. If I get a chance to make a music video it would definitely be very film noir, set in the ’40s and black and white!”

“This is the purest and darkest song I’ve ever written, I am very honored for being able to add a real symphonic orchestra and arrange whole parts, but my favorite addition besides “Purhepecha” an ancient native language of America, is the participation of a very beautiful folk instrument, original from Colombia, the tiple.” – says the band.
Like this year’s acclaimed ‘Moving On Skiffle’, ‘Accentuate The Positive’ sees Van Morrison returning to one of his childhood passions: this time rock ‘n’ roll. Growing up in Belfast shortly after World War II, he was immensely inspired by the heady sounds of 20th century blues and rock ‘n’ roll. Listening to artists such as Fats Domino, Chuck Berry and The Everly Brothers, it wasn’t long until Van was intuitively reinterpreting these sounds with his own band in local hometown venues.
