Beautiful Dreams

Carry The Weight

After her debut Timmion single "Don't Believe You Like That", Emilia Sisco is back in the fold with a double sider of the highest order. Emilia seems to feel right at home with the material that she cooks up with Cold Diamond & Mink, filling both songs to the brim with soul.  

Despite its title, "Trouble" strolls along with a delicately sweet mid-tempo groove and a nicely abundant arrangement, each of Emilia's lyrical calls getting a response from the background harmonizers and the band steady tightening up while the song builds towards its conclusion. The B-side slows things down to a lush southern soul drawl, coming off like a classy forgotten Hi session.

Both of these tracks present a singer who has paid her dues by studying the craft and polishing it for years in front of live audiences. Now it's time for Emilia to push her voice out there on the wings of her own original songs, a feature that we've come to expect from the Timmion stable.

An ultra-rare slice of old school soul at its finest, "You Got Me Hypnotized" b/w "She's A Play Girl" is a 1984 single by the seven member group Ci Ci, who were led by Clifton Dyson, the younger brother of famed soul singer and actor, Ronnie Dyson, and featured vocalist Rose Bullock. The "A" side, "(You Got Me) Hypnotized" is a classic soul ballad arranged by Al Johnson who co-founded the soul group, The Unifics and produced by the great Charles "Skip" Pitts, the guitarist responsible for the legendary wah-wah guitar lick that opens The Theme from Shaft by Issac Hayes. "(You Got Me) Hypnotized" was no doubt inspired by Linda Jones' 1967 hit "Hypnotized," a completely different song but similar vibe - a definite tip-of-the-hat. The flip side, "She's A Play Girl" starts out defined by the groovy bass line, and then slowly, hints of strings and horns enter to give it an early disco feel. Originally released on the legendary Creative Funk label in 1984, this rare classic has been newly remastered and finally made available in the digital domain.

A Lover’s Blue

This is my first album as an up and coming songwriter. I wrote all of these over the past year and finally decided I wanted the world to hear them. I’M AWARE I’M NOT THE BEST SINGER, it’s not about that for me, it’s about the meaning of the music and where it takes you . Of course I wanted the best vocals on my tracks, but I have to settle for myself for now. I’m looking for up and coming artist to collaborate and maybe sing my songs to bring it even more to life. This project is about the ending of love and a breakup, and you’ve done all you can to salvage it. You can’t and you just have to move on, live your life, and have fun. Thank you!

"Wonder" is the second release from Miamaz. It was written during the lonely times of quarantine when it was easy to escape into stories. The song captures the feeling of leaving a story behind, while yearning for a different ending for characters you grew to love.
