"Young Girl" by Londyn (R&B Artist from Ohio(OH))

Londyn is a 17-year-old R&B singer-songwriter from Cleveland with the talent and ambition to turn some heads on - what should be, her inevitable journey to stardom. The title track on her new 5-song CD, "Young Girl," is a contemporary and sophisticated slice of R&B with an irresistible hook and savvy production flourishes. Like Alicia Keys, another singer who started young and carved out her path to success by writing and trusting her own considerable abilities, Londyn displays that same confidence in abundance. In addition to a capella and instrumental versions of the terrific "Young Girl," her other originals, "Crush On U" and "Dirty," are Beyonce-like urban anthems that show Londyn is no one-trick pony. A special performer boasting a great voice and that special something that, for lack of a better word, translates to artistic vision, Londyn's "Young Girl" CD will impress any fan of contemporary, street-smart - and radio-ready, R&B.

"Live at the Martin Theater, Vol. 1" by Lucky Mud (Folk Artist from Florida(FL))

Recorded live from the Martin Theater in Panama City (FL) for public radio station WKGC, Lucky Mud's latest CD is a showcase of original contemporary folk music that's pure down-home Americana. With only acoustic guitar backing, husband and wife duo Mike and Maggie McKinney trade off lead vocal duties over the course of 16 songs that range from Mike's beautifully melancholic "Evangeline," to Maggie's wonderful show-closer, "Ride the Pony." Opening with the infectious "Radio Intro," a short ditty for the host station that's a throw-back to old-time live radio programs, Lucky Mud sets the tone for a set long on heartfelt narratives of simple joys and bittersweet truths. Maggie's "Mississippi Queen," with its bluesy refrain, and Mike's "Born to Honky-Tonk," a Jerry Jeff Walker-ish tune complete with yodels, hint at Lucky Mud's musical reach, but it's the duo's milk-and-honey harmonies – as on the aching ballad, "Silver Spoon" – that wraps their sound up into one neat package. Presumably the 1st of a series, Lucky Mud's "Live at the Martin Theater, Vol. 1" CD is a terrific mix of tuneful and meaningful folk songs as rich as the American musical traditions they reflect.

"Pick Your Face Up Off The Floor : The Remixes" by Farrad (Pop Artist from New York City, New York(NY))

"Pick Your Face Up Off The Floor : The Remixes" by electronic/funk artist Farrad, is a collection of 12 unique dance remixes of the title song, and includes the bonus track, "Praise 2 The DJ." Although the album primarily fits into the dance or techno genre, the influence of 80's rock and pop as well as hip-hop and R&B are a part of the mix. The tracks move from steady beats to ecstatic ones to slower ones, but all charge the listener to get up and dance their heart out. The "Ron Kurti Remix" is particularly unique in that it has the bass line of good Detroit house, but also features the mesmerizing influence of DJ Tiesto which, when brought together, makes for a high energy dance track - for all of six minutes. On the "JJ Appleton Remix," a funky discotheque theme is more prevalent. The mood is bubbly on this track while the bass line remains thumping. This album is a stepping stone for this artist and listeners of the dance genre should keep an eye on him as his music is sure to grow in popularity in the new year.

"Season's Greetings" by Manjia Luo (Easy Listening Artist from Australia)

Manjia Luo's latest release is a holiday-themed album called "Season's Greetings." However, it is not an album filled with your traditional Christmas songs. Instead, it contains a mix of original pieces that express holiday cheer through a tranquil mixing of Western and Eastern sounds. "Seasons's Greetings" is a placid and calming song with beautiful harp playing that comes off as a holiday number, even though it is not one you would have known before. "Tranquil Mood" is a wonderful piano piece featuring playing that evokes the full range of the instrument. "Back to Childhood" is a song that mixes Eastern and Western influences in its use of violin, beautifully telling a wordless story through melody alone. Manjia Luo's "Season's Greetings" explores the quieter and more peaceful side of holiday-inspired music with grace and delicacy. It's perfect for those who enjoy new-age relaxation music, or for those who would like excellent background music for a warm winter's get-together.

"Aurora" by Spiker (Electronic Artist from Czechoslovakia)

"Aurora" is the latest release from Spiker. It is a collection of genial and calm electronic compositions for creating a relaxed atmosphere. "Sunup" is a song in which a subdued drum rhythm interacts with a frolicking flute line. "Butterfly" is a tune that has an electro-Latin feel and features a female vocalist crooning softly. "Bearer" is a little bit more energized, with spacey piano sounds and a briskly stuttering drum beat. This is an album that blurs many genres of music into a seamless collection of electronic music that soothes as much as it inspires. If you appreciate contemporary, chilled-out background music then Spiker's "Aurora" is an album for you.

"B2" by Experience Deluxe (Electronic Artist from Germany)

Experience Deluxe's latest CD is known as "B2." It is an album which consists of music that could best be described as electronic lounge music, as it is mostly vocal-less, electronic music aimed at creating a variety of moods for the listener. "Clean da House" is a swiftly paced, bass-led jam in which other instruments fade in and out, adding subtle complexity; it's a song that truly would be great to listen to while you clean your house. "Rum Around?" is an edgy track with a sci-fi sound and a driving rhythm. "Sunset Breeze" is a more tranquil number with a subdued beat and calming background embellishments. "B2" is a CD for those who appreciate music's ability to transport one's mind to places the body cannot go, or for those who like to have distinctive and relatively energetic lounge music for when they entertain or need background music. So let Experience Deluxe take you away with their illustrative album "B2."

"aka Whiteboy Slim" by Whiteboy Slim (Blues Artist from Canada)

Whiteboy Slim knows the Blues. With a voice that channels the spirit of outsized legend, Howlin' Wolf, the harp skills (and tone) to rival Little Walter, the confidence to stretch the blues lexicon without betraying its artistic center, and a crack band that could've cut its teeth on the west side of Chicago, his CD, "aka Whiteboy Slim," is a living testament to the enduring legacy of the Chicago blues style. "It Ain't Art," opens the album with a defiant declaration of the bluesman's credo, funkifying the blues with roots-deep soul. Other standouts include "Cards on the Table," a terrific minor-key jam with fine Santana-like guitar work; "20% Alcohol," which impeccably mines an Howlin' Wolf-style groove; the jazz-inflected "It's Strange out There;" and the updated Muddy Waters nugget, "She's Into Something." Loud, gritty, raucus and down-&-dirty, "aka Whiteboy Slim" is a flat-out 14-track blues gem. And like fellow Canadian blues trailblazer, King Biscuit Boy, Whiteboy Slim's CD proves the blues ain't about where you're from, it's about who you are.

"Raise It Up Bring It Down" by Beth Schafer (Acoustic Artist from Florida(FL))

Fittingly, Beth Schafer reaches new heights on her latest CD, "Raise it Up Bring It Down," a spirited and engaging 14-track album that finds the accomplished singer-songwriter continuing to hone her craft with the skill of a confident artist. With contemporary folk and California-esque folk-rock (a la The Eagles, Shawn Colvin) underpinnings, Schafer's honey-toned voice delivers original songs of deep faith and abiding hope that are as tuneful as they are meaningful. CD-opener, "Raise it Up", kicks it off with a mid-tempo rocker featuring meaty lead guitar licks and the kind of hook Melissa Etheridge used to reel off in her sleep. The solemn and beautiful, "Prayer of the Workin' Man," is stripped down to bare essentials, but no less powerful in its message and delivery. "Modim Anachnu Lach" trades off between a Hebrew chorus and English verses in a lively song of spiritual triumph, while "Adama" is like a modern sing-along, reminiscent of - but more rhythmic, than campfire standard, "Wimoweh." With catchy, smart and uplifting compositions, a wonderful voice that never wavers in its commitment to the song, and a band that's as tasteful as it is proficient, Beth Schafer's new CD, "Raise it Up Bring It Down," is a winning combination of artistry and sheer talent.
