Cherry Blossom
By: Manycolors
Musical Style: Hip-Hop Soul
Music Influences: J Dilla
Music Inspiration: The inspiration for Cherry Blossom came while the band was experimenting in the studio, riffing on ideas and us talking about how a good idea can fade away quickly.

Distant Love
By: N.O.A
Musical Style: Pop-soul, Ballad
Music Influences: Alicia Keys
Music Inspiration: This tune represents the phenomenon of being connected to people in far away places and from other lifetimes. Through energy, coincidence, and symbolism, there is a spiritual thread that keeps familiar souls connected, and if we listen, we can hear them talking to us. We may even feel them listening for us to go first.

Oscar The Cat
By: Steve Terry Project
Musical Style: Afrojazz, Dance Jazz, Jazz fusion
Musical Influences: Hebrew Folk Songs, Snarky Puppy, Athens Tango Project
Musical Inspiration: This song was directly inspired by a performance I attended of latin dance group the Athens Tango Project and was my take on a jazzy dance tune. Somehow I ended up channeling some Hava Nagila vibes and what we are left with is a relentless, solo-filled banger of a track.
Lyrical Inspiration:
Artist Statement: Oscar the Cat is first and foremost a fun, light-hearted dance tune. With influences ranging from Latin dance music to Hebrew folk music, this track never has a dull moment as it tears through it's nearly five-minute-long structure.

By: Brothers Keeper

Life
By: Kory Montgomery
Controlled Composition: AFA Publishing
Musical Style: Acid Rock
Musical Influences: Jimi Hendrix (Band of gypsies), London Souls, Black Keys
Music Inspiration: Written on a front porch in Idaho, roughed in and brought back to close friends who helped finish the composition.
Lyrics Inspiration: I was in Belize and everyone was discussing this murder case of a very prominent woman on the island. It was a very confusing situation, as there were many holes in the story...long story short this murder mystery began interesting conversations about life and the roller coaster of emotions it can be. Life is a beautiful, scary, journey, that inevitably ends...so I wrote this song based on the conversations I had in Belize.
Artist Statement: "Life" is a musical approach to the journey through life. It was an interesting and somewhat difficult track to record. It seems fitting. Recording and writing "Life", nothing came too easy and it took the efforts of the entire group to accomplish what we have today. I am very proud of the final product and I strongly believe it came together beautifully. You gotta Believe!!!

Me And The Lady
By: Alex Dunn
Musical Style: Folk, Indie folk, Folk rock, Psychedelic folk
Musical Influences: J.J. Cale
Lyrical Inspiration: These words were a poem that my father wrote for his mother for mother's day, around 1974. He was going to medical school in Guatelejara, Mexico and of course couldn't make it home, so he composed this poem. My aunt found the poem a couple years ago while going through my grandmother's things after she passed. She let me know right when she found it and sent me a photo of the poem. After I read it, it felt like it was a poem I wrote myself, as a sort of youthful Kerouac-obsessed young man. And so I felt this was a great way for me to connect with my father, to my Grandmother as well, to intertwine our own history's, and to fold together our respective artistic impulses.
Track Description: In Alex Dunn's new single "Me and the Lady," he intricately weaves the poetry of his father's early adulthood in 1970's Mexico with the accommodating folk-rock sounds of the era, resulting in an almost J.J. Cale meets Pink Floyd infused cocktail of psychedelic Americana.

Key Lime
By: Tim Carman Trio
Controlled Composition: AFA Publishing, Hancok Music, EMI Longitude Music, Son Rol Music Company, Rudy Stevenson Music
Musical Style: Organ Trio, 60's Soul Jazz, Jazz trio, Jazz, Post-bop, Hard bop, Straight-ahead jazz, Jazz Ballads, Latin Jazz, Jazz Standards
Musical Influences: Jimmy Smith, Freddie Roach, Grant Green, 60's Soul Jazz, Booker Ervin, Roy Haynes, Wynton Kelly, Wes Mongomery, Kenny Burrell, Sonny Rollins, Bud Powell
Artist Statement: Inspired by and dedicated to Bob Gullotti, Tim's first drum teacher and mentor. Bob passed away suddenly in 2020. The song was written in the studio and recorded in one take by Tim Carman, Steve Fell, and Ken Clark. Along with Bob's spirit, Jimmy Smith inspired the feel and soul of this track. , The death of my teacher Bob Gullotti and the cancellation of gigs due to Covid led to a deep inward dive. I began reexamine some of my favorite recordings from my high school days. One of the first jazz album's I fell in love with was "Cracklin,'" by Booker Ervin and Roy Haynes, which Bob Gullotti gave to me when I was a junior in high school. I spent a lot of time listening to and playing along with this album. This particular recording means a lot to me and transports me back to my early days on the drums. I've also never heard anyone play or record this tune and thought it would be a good and meaningful addition to my album. I'm still in awe of Haynes' playing on the original recording. , Wynton Kelly performs this song on his album "It's All Right!", which has been a recent favorite of mine. It's a ballad rarely covered and the transition from a ballad feel into a 6/8 latin feel is really unique and beautiful. Jimmy Cobb played on this album and also passed away last year. He's one of my favorite drummers of all time and I love his playing on the original version of this track. I'm really excited with how our version came out. , I was inspired to include this standard for two reasons. Firstly, it's one of my favorite standards and a great tune to start off with in the studio. This record was recorded in one day and the three of us had never played together before. So I thought Sonnymoon For Two would be a great warmup. Secondly, I watched a live Jimmy Smith concert from the 60s on youtube and he did a version of this tune. I absolutely loved it in the organ jazz setting and was inspired to include it on the album. Finally, my rubato drum intro and solo was inspired by drummers I look up to like Roy Haynes, Art Blakey, and Philly Joe Jones. , "Buster Rides Again" was one of the first tunes I learned when I started studying jazz in high school. After the death of my first drum teacher Bob Gullotti, I spent a lot of time reminiscing about my early years studying music. This recording really stuck with me. I combined this tune with a latin groove inspired by Art Blakey, who I've spent a lot of time listening to during quarantine. I didn't know if the combination of the tune and feel would work until we tried it in the studio. We did one take and that ended being the take we used for the album. Dave Brophy played percussion on this version of the tune. , I recorded this track at the very end of our session. Some of my favorite jazz albums by artists like Art Blakey have great drum interludes. The groove I played was definitely inspired by Vernel Fournier's playing on Ahmad Jamal's version of the song "Poinciana." I love this feel and was inspired to improvise within it. During quarantine I spent a lot of time playing grooves like this alone in my studio. I think this interlude really captures my year of playing music in quarantine. , Driftin' is one of my favorite Herbie Hancock songs. It's a fantastic feel and melody and is so fun to play. We thought it'd be a great addition to the album. , Ken Clark wrote this track while lying awake in bed. It's inspired by sleep deprivation and how it can aid in creativity. The song is also a contrafact of "Joy Spring" by Clifford Brown with Max Roach.

99 Pounds
By: Max Kaplan & The Magics
“99 Pounds” by Ann Peebles is one of Max Kaplan & The Magic’s favorite soul tunes that was so well-received during their live performances that they decided to give it a studio treatment. Growing up in the rich epicenter for soul music in Memphis, TN, Kaplan had heard the song recorded and played for decades and wanted to put a personal soul-rock touch on the classic. The track is the third single in a series of digital single releases that will culminate into a full-length album pressed on vinyl in fall 2022.

Really Really Love You
By: Josiah Soren & the Colorblind Pilots
Musical Style: Soul blues, Soul
Musical Influences: Etta James, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Aretha Franklin, Robert Randolph
Musical Inspiration: Really Really Love You is a soulful throwback to the generation of funk and soul that inspired me. An exceptionally deep cut, it is a beautiful song that captures my favorite elements of the 70's funk and soul era.
Track Description: Josiah Soren & The Colorblind Pilots pay a tribute to the generation of funk and soul that inspired them with their cover of Australian soul singer Renee Geyer’s exceptionally deep cut, “Really Really Love You.” Soren was introduced to the track when a contemporary of his, Joey Tuholski aka “Pure Colors,” showed him a remix of one of his tunes that utilized a sample of Geyer’s 1975 tune and immediately saw an opportunity to breathe new life into it with a modern interpretation. Soren enlisted vocalist Jesse Williams who he cites as a reincarnation of Etta James deeply in touch with her spiritual side and was the perfect fit to capture the sensual, slow funky nature found in the original. Colorblind Pilot cut two versions of the tune to include both a radio edit and an extended 7-minute version that features an extra verse, trumpet and trombone solos, and an elongated outro. The track is the lead single off of the group’s debut LP coming out on Color Red summer 2022.

By: Tim Carman Trio
Musical Style: Jazz, Latin jazz, Organ Trio, 60's Soul Jazz, 60's Boogaloo Soul, Jazz Trio
Musical Influences: Art Blakey, Jimmy Smith, Freddie Roach, Bud Powell
Musical Inspiration: The feel on this was inspired by Art Blakey, who I've spent a lot of time listening to during quarantine.

After the death of my first drum teacher Bob Gullotti, I spent a lot of time reminiscing about my early years studying music. This recording really stuck with me.

I didn't know if the combination of the tune and feel would work until we tried it in the studio. We did one take and that ended being the take we used for the album. Dave Brophy played percussion on this version of the tune.
Track Description: Tim Carman Trio puts an Art Blakey-inspired Latin groove on their take of the Bud Powell tune “Buster Rides Again.” While in quarantine, Carman spent a lot of time reminiscing about his formative years of musical study and listening to jazz records after the passing of his first drum teacher, Bob Gullotti. Powell’s tune was one that always stuck out and Art Blakey records were getting frequent spins during Carman’s listening sessions. The combination of Powell’s classic tune mixed with the Latin groove gelled surprisingly well and Carman enlisted percussionist Dave Brophy to accentuate his version of the track. The band did one take and ended up using that cut on the record.

Back From The Dead
By: Kings & Associates
Controlled Composition: EMI Longitude Music
Musical Style: 70's Funk Fusion, 70's Funky Soul, Blues funk, Blue-eyed soul, Soul Funk
Musical Influences: Bobby Byrd, James Brown, Prince, Rick James, Funkadelic, Parliament
Musical Inspiration: We've performed this song for years as homage to the James Brown inspired style 70's funk. This tune is a little unknown, but the groove and arrangement is mighty....the subtleties speak loudly!. Bobby Byrd was the MD for James Brown so his impact on music culture was significant albeit perhaps a little unrecognised given his role within James's band....and of course James's prolific presence. We hope to help bring a bit more notoriety to Bobby...
Lyrics Inspiration: The lyrics are cool....but conceptually simple. It's effectively a romance song with a bit of grit and nastiness. We also chose this song as a new single release as it's the first tune off the Neigbour album....our 'covid album'.....which I'm sure every band has got. The album was recorded in LA in 2019 and due to be release in 2020, but alas, covid ended those plans. This tune, BACK FROM THE DEAD, is now kind of our statement of we're at post covid, and hopefully others can be a little inspired as well.
Artist Statement: This tune is a straight up funk tune. We wanted to release it because it's got an amazing groove, and the guys smashed it out live in the studio....so it was pretty much performed as you now hear it. We also chose this song as a new single release as it's the first tune off the Neigbour album....our 'covid album'.....which I'm sure every band has got. The album was recorded in LA in 2019 and due to be release in 2020, but alas, covid ended those plans.

Goodnight My Love
By: Sundae + Mr. Goessl
Musical Style: Dreamy Exotica, Trad jazz, Vintage Jazz, Vocal jazz, Classic Jazz
Musical Influences: Quinn Bachand, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Ella Fitzgerald, Rachael & Vilray, Nat King Cole, Les Paul & Mary Ford
Musical Inspiration: We had such a lovely time recording this classic tune with Mike Malone on drums and Mr. Goessl's surfy swells to make this tune fit the dreamy vibe of the album as a whole. The trad jazz set up at the top with the melodica playing the melody was an intentional choice and the wild-warble guitar intro was all Jason Goessl in the studio! The perfect ender for the full album "Dreamland" with a spoken "Goodnight" at the end from Sundae.
Artist Statement: As artists, we are constantly inspired. Catching ear worms on the radio, a beautiful sunset, our friends manifesting their dreams. The inspiration for this track is easily traceable for us and why we wanted to dedicate the tune to our friends Lily & Jasper at Verlaine & McCann Productions. We were able to perform this tune with one of their productions a few years back and unbelievably, that was our first time hearing the song! We are just in awe of Verlaine & McCann and the empire they've built up over the past 16 years and our vintage-with-a-twinge-of-exotica vibe version of "Goodnight My Love" seems like the perfect homage to these 2 radiant humans.

Mouse Hunt
By: Photon
This song is a tale of a mouse who is comfortable in his house, but is then pursued by a predator. The different sections of the song reflect the state of mind of the rodent depending on what its going through. Going into the studio with this band is something we are always excited about because we are typically a long form improvisation experience. This studio session gave us a chance to define for ourselves what the true essence of the composition was, and be able to shape it for a recording that is concise and accurate.

Controlled Composition: AFA Publishing
Musical Style: Cinematic, Jazz, Classical crossover
Musical Influences: Khruangbin, Jimi Hendrix, Snarky Puppy, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Thundercat, Medeski Martin and Wood
Musical Inspiration: There's a scene in that movie where a young Gary Oldman is playing Beethoven, during the surreal chapter in his life where he was experiencing deafness, but still hadn't told anyone, and was pretending it wasn't happening (reading lips, etc.....). Faking, essentially. But then someone leaves him alone in a concert hall with some new prototype piano design, and he puts his ear down against the wood, and plays this super quiet, lost-innocence kind of melody. It always haunted me. I remember picking it out by ear on the piano before ever looking at the actual score. Piano Sonata #8, 2nd mvmt. It's one of my favorite melodies in all of Beethoven. Our version takes it out to a country church, the organ reverberating out across the lake, frogs chirping, sun settling.

Like You Do
By: Manycolors
Controlled Composition: AFA Publishing
Musical Style: Chill-hop, Ambient
Musical Influences: Moonchild
Music Inspiration: The music is a combination of two 2 bar loops and is a reflection of my sampling and beat making hobby. It's a bit meta sampling my own band but I liked the idea of it. To me, the music sounds like a hazy melancholy that was 2020.
Lyrics Inspiration: Lyrics were written in the middle of the pandemic, so they are a bit depressing. It started without a main theme but ended up sounding like a breakup song. It's kind a melancholy drizzle about an old lover and the old way of life leaving (ie 2020) and just feeling numb.
Artist Statement: This was a jam the band did after our first session in 2018 at CRED to finish out the tape, we had like 10 minutes left or something. I then took the track and looped it (main section is only 2 bars and the second section is another 2 bars). Then I added some piano and vocals to it with the help of Halle.

Cherry Blossom
By: Manycolors
Musical Style: Hip-Hop Soul
Music Influences: J Dilla
Music Inspiration: The inspiration for Cherry Blossom came while the band was experimenting in the studio, riffing on ideas and us talking about how a good idea can fade away quickly.
Artist Statement: Much like the track's namesake, cherry blossoms flower suddenly bloom and share their beauty with us for a few short weeks before they drop their leaves and wait for the cycle to start again when spring returns.

Music Influences: Alicia Keys
Music Inspiration: This tune represents the phenomenon of being connected to people in far away places and from other lifetimes. Through energy, coincidence, and symbolism, there is a spiritual thread that keeps familiar souls connected, and if we listen, we can hear them talking to us. We may even feel them listening for us to go first.

Runaway (Stephen Dusenberry Remix)
By: Freekbass , Stephen Dusenberry
Musical Style: Funk, NuFunk, Nu-disco, Pop, Indie Funk
Musical Influences: The Meters, Cameo, Duran Duran, Vulfpeck, Brittany Howard, Quincy Jones, Jamiroquai, Stevie Wonder, Prince
Track Description: Stephen Dusenbury reimagines Freekbass’ “Runaway” in a stretched-out arrangement that incorporates layers of horns, percussion, and classic elements of funk and soul—all played live with no samples or loops. The Berklee College of Music alum with accolades that include hitting the Billboard charts (Gia, Audio Playground, Noah) and appearing on the Grammy ballot (pop remix for “Orpheus” by Sergio Mendez) is the perfect collaborator to take Freekbass’ time capsule of 80s dance floor funk mixed with futuristic 2025 aesthetics and accentuate it with his compositional instincts and dynamic persona. The chemistry and funk-forward thinking have galvanized an in-person meeting between Dusenbury and Freekbass which embodies the artist-centric sense of agency and ethos Color Red fosters within their international network of artists.
Light My Own Fire
By: Annie J
Musical Style: Pop soul, Retro Soul
Musical Influences: Dusty Springfield, Roberta Flack, Solange, Janelle Monae
Track Description: Annie J’s “Light My Own Fire” is a warm, anthemic pop-soul track that was inspired by the desire to overcome self-doubt. As the third single off of her forthcoming debut solo EP ‘Get Back,’ Annie fans the flame cultivated by years of establishing her rich voice as a leading presence in the Seattle music scene lending her talents to projects that include Seattle Rock Orchestra, 45th St. Brass, and the late blues legend Cedell Davis. Annie’s creative spark and thoughtful lyrics are kindled by collaborating with top-notch Seattle musicians including Andrew Vait (Sisters, Little Wins), Chris Littlefield (Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe), Nick Foster (Nick Foster Band), Scott Paul Johnson (Hot Bodies In Motion), and Stephanie Anne Johnson (the Hidogs). Along the same lineage as Dusty Springfield, Roberta Flack, and Solange, “Light My Own Fire” is a testament that Annie is poised to blaze a path of success as her warm delivery displays both nuanced control and playfulness as she executes rich vocal runs and a stunning range.

All We Got
By: N.O.A
Musical Style: Smooth Pop, Smooth R&B, Soul Pop, Soul, R&B/Soul
Musical Influences: Raveena, Umi, Sade, Emily King
Musical Inspiration: This song started as a vocal freestyle over a funky synth part by Jay Stiles. I sat with the scratch synth idea for a short while and instantly started finding the vocal melody. The lyrics came through soon after. Once the melody and lyrics were written, it was clear the synth part was a little too punchy to accompany the more tender lyrical content. From there, I sought out some of my favorite musicians to play their sweeter takes over the original idea. Bass player and the song's engineer, Mario Castellanos, was integral in helping me find the right players for this tune. It features Mario on bass, Tommy Howard on guitar, Vince Wiley on keys, Brennan Howell on Drums, and Michael Longoria on Percussion. , I was going through so many shifts when I was writing this song. It's about acceptance and letting go. Relinquishing the illusion of control. Acceptance of what is.
Artist Statement: This tune is the first track formally recorded, with all the bells and whistles so to speak, for my solo project. To hear the finished product, to watch the music video after all the work is incredibly affirming. I have more music to make, more projects to complete - and I can't wait. , All We Got was one of the first tunes I formally organized for release in 2020. The video was shot in July of 2020. What a wild ride that year was. I was constantly on the fence on whether or not I wanted to release this song, because the message of the lyrics and featuring just me in the video felt super vulnerable. It was through this video that I did a lot of learning about what I need, what I like, what is worth my time - both in writing the music, producing the video and in life's lessons in general. In the end I decided to release it to - just like the song reminds me to do - accept what is, to let go, and that what's meant for me I will never miss.

Cooler
By: The Graduating Class
Musical Style: Indie Funk, Indie pop, Pop, Indie Dance
Musical Influences: Chromeo, Toro Y Moi, Hall and Oates, The Killers, M83, Walk The Moon
Lyrical Inspiration: The lyrics tell the story of the inner monologue in a person's head as they're working up the confidence to ask someone out. Imagine a scene from a cheesy movie where a total bombshell walks through the door of a bar, everyone's jaws hit the floor, and the record skips a beat. The song's narrator is at the bar, trying not to embarrass themselves and work up the courage to say hello. It's a narrative about being shy, and a reflection of how we in the band would probably react in that scenario.
Track Description: With an E Street-inspired saxophone lead and an arrangement straight out of Quincy Jones' playbook, "Cooler" is The Graduating Class leaning into the nostalgia of the 80s. The track features punchy drums, cascading synths, crisp rhythm guitar, and the aforementioned blazing sax line. "Cooler" also marks the Graduating Class' first foray into production, as the band recorded the song themselves in the basement of a shuttered music venue. Lyrically, "Cooler" tells an all-too-universal story about working up the courage to ask someone out; the song's setting is reminiscent of a scene from a John Hughes movie. According to songwriter/producer John Queant: "'Cooler' is about the inner monologue in a person's head as they're trying to ask someone out. I imagined a scene from a cheesy movie, where a total bombshell walks into the club, everyone's jaws hit the floor, and the record skips a beat. The song's narrator is just trying to work up the courage to ask them to dance."

Warm Nights
By: Lucas de Mulder , Eddie Roberts
This song is heavily influenced by Fancy, a song by The New Mastersounds. I spent a whole summer listening to this song in a compilation I made for my car. This song reminds me a lot of good times. So that summer, which was especially hot, I wrote Warm Nights, a reggae song. When I wrote the song I knew it would be very cool to do it with two guitars. For this Eddie is the perfect partner. Chris, Nate and Alejandro put in the rest to get the song to flow very naturally and stable.

Music Inspiration(s): Modern dancehall style is the inspiration... Just wanted to write a melodic reggae-inspired tune with a positive message... Was feeling like a straight, heavy, hypnotic dub groove would match well with a meditative lyric... I love the reggaeton rhythm. However, the lyrical content is often on the shallow side. Thought it would be nice to put out a reggaeton that had kind of a dancehall/reggae lyric vibe... Reggae en español is a popular genre throughout Latin America. Something Jyemo Club touches on already.... Wanted to mix a pop rock quasi-reggae beat with some epic metal guitars and some cumbia.
Lyrics Inspiration(s): Overcoming obstacles big and small. Learning from your ancestors to take you forward... Just catching that moment after waking up in the morning. Giving thanks and gratitude to start the day... In the depths of the first covid lockdown, I wrote this song in a desperate place, when you can't see a way out of the despair around you. Luckily, there's a light at the end of the tunnel... A pure love song... Just thinking how nice it would be to duck out and watch the madness of modern-day life from afar. Like, from really afar.

Patient Boy
By: Dragondeer
Musical Style: Blues rock, Rock and roll, Alt-Soul, Funk blues, Blues funk
Musical Influences: The Rolling Stones, Bill Withers, Khruangbin, Black Keys, Black Pumas, Freddie King
Musical Inspiration: The music for this track started with a simple a chord progression I had been messing with for a few weeks..I wanted to take a pretty traditional blues progression and add some funky licks between chords to link them and have the progression have more of a looped feel. After a late night out on the town in Denver I sat down with an acoustic at 3AM and strummed the progression and all the words just spilled out. I quickly made an iphone message recording to remember the words and fell asleep. I woke with the acoustic on my chest and a vague recollect of coming up with words to a new song...and there it was on the iphone with all the lyrics in full that you hear on the final mix. We took that skeletal framework and played with feels in the rhythm section of Carl on drums , casey on bass, and Will trask on percussion...that sped it up and added proper shake to the whole thing and then Casey Russel came down to the studio and added some sweet organ passes and the whole track came alive with Maestro Eddie on the mix
Artist Statement: Patient Boy is a classic power of collaboration creation. Dragondeer's core four combined forces with Will Trask (High Hawks) on percussion and Casey Russel (Magic Beans) on Organ all run through an analog tape machine and mixed and tonally crafted by Eddie Roberts (The New Mastersounds). The combined alchemy has a sound that shimmy and shakes with some classic Alt soul thunder.
Lyrical Inspiration: The gist of the song lyrically is about having patience in the midst of life's trials and challenges. In layman's terms: how many shit sandwiches I gotta eat to just live a semi free life? how many times I gotta be told no or that what I'm doing ain't right or be abandoned by a family member or business connection in life? How much bullshit do I gotta listen to from experts, authority figures, or just day to day interactions before I am free from it? I'm guessing the answer is a ton and it's never ending ahaha but that's ok cause I got patience for it and as they say "c'est la vie...such is life"

Track Description: In the early summer of 2019, the Tiger King was sitting in Jail on charges of attempted murder. At the same time, Greyhounds were touring through Denver Colorado where they stopped into Color Red Studios to record with Eddie Roberts. After a brief writing session, Andrew Trube came down into the studio with this tale of the Tiger King. At the time he was merely a myth. Now The Tiger King is a worldwide icon. And Grehounds immortalize him in their new track "Tiger King" out on Color Red Music.
