Alfa & Emmavie - Fly Away

PROD. by Evan Dawkins

for my star.

Lyrics below
made this a few days ago

[LYRICS]
[THE HOST]:
I've been recordin' this bullshit for ion know HOW LONG!
Now I ask that you'll not only
hear my words, but you hear
my soul,
YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS FOR!
HIT IT! CMON!

A star in
A star in
Heaven

Oh you know you've been so hard to find
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried
[Aww sookie sookie now]
Every time that I now wake and lie
(Ooh)
(That I wake and lie baby)
I've cried, I've cried, I've cried
(Cry x6)

I've tried and cried and made myself sick,
I have waited for the clouds to fade and they don't move quick,
I have turned to him and realized where I am not wanted,
I have realized that I'm way too fuckin' optimistic
And what I believe is shit.

I shook a eight ball yesterday and it told me to keep lookin'.
It told me I'm mostly likely to find a big shootin' star,
The one I'd recognize from afar,
And when I see it's shine it'll be holding 
my heart. OH NO!

Mama didn't raise me to be this way!
She told me to erase the shadows behind me,
So disappointed and so afraid.
my actions have been so enlightening.
I'll never get to see you grow, I say,
Surpassing the limits that felt so binding.
Our journey is now in terror and rage,
But I know that's not the ending we're writing..

Oh..
You are a star in heaven,
You are a star in heaven,
That I can't reach x2


Oh you know you've been so hard to find
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried
Every time that I now wake and lie
(Ooh)
(That I wake and lie baby)
I've cried, I've cried, I've cried
(Cry x6)

A star in
A star in
Heaven
That I can't reach x2

Oh,
Who are we??
What are we??
Where are we going??
Is this love or something above??
What are we showin?
What are we showin??

Who are we??
What are we??
Where are we going??
(Not separate ways)
Is this love or something above???
What are we showin?
What are we showin???
(Why can't you stay)

Ooh
A star,
Ooh..
A star in heaven..

[Layered parts]
(Music..)

[THE HOST]:
SING IT!
A star in heaven!
Y'know I ain't got the best voice I'm jus the host here!
Cmon now-

Nananana


Bring that mama said part 
Back! That shit was CRAZY!
oh- Hey y'all Listen-
y'all can go
ima jus be jammin' to this
For a long time
This will always be heavy in my heart so I don't think I'll ever be stoppin!

CMON 

Mama didn't RAISE??

WOO

Goddammit y'all are CRAZY
Cmon what's next!

WHO ARE WE

WHERE ARE WE GOIN?!

THANK YOU

Though we haven't premiered any music for a minute, we couldn't say no when Mecca:83 asked us to premiere Oz's song "Beautiful" on Soundcloud.

We never knew Oz nor had we heard his music, but it's never too late now is it? Sadly this remarkable human being passed before being able to release any solo material. 

Much respect to Futuristica for finally bringing his work to fruition and sharing it with the rest of the world.

One Plus One is the five track debut EP by Melbourne band Leisure Centre (FKA The Do Yo Thangs) - a collection of sensual slow jams and bumping future soul dominated by rich, four-voice harmonies. 

Their debut release is the result of many years of soul searching for songwriter/drummer/singer Hugh Rabinovici and his right-hand-lady, vocalist Audrey Powne (Au Dray). The two met some years ago in the drab corridors of jazz school and bonded over a shared love of Erykah Badu and a desire to spread their creative wings. The combination of Hugh’s writing and Audrey’s vocals immediately gelled and before graduating they’d assembled a gifted cohort of musicians that went on to become Leisure Centre.
 
One Plus One is equal parts performance and programming, drawing from a broad palette of live instruments and electronic sounds. At the front, Hugh and Audrey alternate lead vocal duties, supported by harmony singers Maddie Otto and Tiaryn Griggs. Backing them, the guitar sound is classic soul but the plethora of synthesizers and 808 kick drums is definitely not, nodding equally to Vangelis or Hiatus Kaiyote. The more you listen, the more intricacy is discovered. The writing uses jazz elements and odd rhythmic devices, but it’s all tucked away - there’s nothing that intrudes into the foreground or interferes with the song’s abilities to speak to an audience.
 
Hugh’s writing is a reflection of a unique musical development. A child of piano, cello, self taught guitarist and now drummer, his influences and abilities stem from an early life in music that moved to jazz school and a trip to South India to study Carnatic  music. One Plus One is only the beginning for Hugh and the members of Leisure Centre. With a new partnership at local label HopeStreet Recordings, anything is possible for the swooning soul collective.

From the debut album "Astral Progressions" out October 7 on World Galaxy / Alpha Pup Records: https://JosefLeimberg.lnk.to/AstralProgressions

This fall, trumpeter and composer Josef Leimberg will launch his debut full-length Astral Progressions. Hitting vinyl prints and digital formats with the Alpha Pup Records jazz imprint World Galaxy, Astral Progressions is a powerful record in the canon of 21st century music. It also continues the momentum Leimberg achieved on the Kendrick Lamar Grammy Award winning album To Pimp A Butterfly. A hybrid state of jazz fusion, world music, R&B and golden era hip hop instrumentalism. Josef Leimberg has created a rich tapestry of sound that fits right in with the resurgence of progressive music in the 2010’s, launching out on his own terms after an impressive career of guest work. 

Leimberg gained a unique level of traction with his work on the multiple Grammy Award winning Kendrick Lamar LP To Pimp A Butterfly. Credited under the LoveDragon moniker with Terrace Martin, his time with To Pimp A Butterfly only represents a small fragment of his accomplishments. His collaborative resume over the decades is astounding, consisting of production, writing and feature credits with Snoop Dogg, Erykah Badu, Robin Thicke, Shafiq Husayn, Funkadelic, Freestyle Fellowship, Dr. Dre, Murs, King Tee, Suga Free, Saafir and Busdriver. These connections have undoubtedly spread life all over Astral Progressions.

Leimberg’s debut album features an array of innovators and game changers in modern progressive music. Kamasi Washington, Bilal, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Kurupt, Terrace Martin and Miguel Atwood Ferguson are just a small list of the brilliant minds that make the Astral Progressions outing special. Many of the featured artists became with the LP through world renowned creator Shafiq Husayn. Leimberg would connect with various musicians associated to his camp through studio recordings, gigging and rehearsals, building on his compositions in a very organic and social way. 

Kurupt connects with Astral Progression’s cosmic message unlike anything else he’s done before, lending his verbal talents over a cosmic west coast flavor. Goergia Anne Muldrow and Bilal add considerable weight as well, taking direction into spiritually tinged fusions of R&B and soul. The ending track pays special homage to Leimberg’s mother, including a recording of her speaking about the complexities of life and where we all fit into the bigger picture of this universe. To describe this record in full would take volumes of thought, bridged under the vision of Leimberg in every note and measure. 

Taking the influence his father, mother and communities of musicians around him, Astral Progressions is a record that summarizes the long lasting power of love through sound. Josef Leimberg is a part of the movement that’s creating new standards in the exploration of jazz and fusion. He is defining himself as a worthy composer and purveyor of the deep musical arts and Astral Progressions is just the beginning.

"Happy" / "Things I Should Have Said" two-sided single out now: smarturl.it/sotjhappy

Sons Of The James is a new duo project from singer/songwriter Rob Milton and producer/musician DJ Harrison, inspired by a blend of classic Gospel music and early 2000's Soulquarians era R&B and Soul.

The B-side, featuring the legendary Georgia Anne Muldrow (the literal inventor of the phrase "stay woke" on the Erykah Badu song "Master Teacher"), was recently featured on season 4 of Issa Rae's hit show 'Insecure' on HBO. 

Rob Milton had this to say about the project's inception – "In 2015 I recorded the album of my dreams in Richmond, Virginia with DJ Harrison. Sad to say that the energy was similar at the time [as it is now]. I was coming home from BLM protests and writing songs about love to escape from the anger."

In support of Black Lives Matter, all label income from Bandcamp sales of this single will be matched by Fresh Selects and donated to various bail fund charities and organizations fighting to defund the police.
