“Understanding the order of time is important to anyone hoping to manifest a dream,” says Valerie June. “There is a time to push, and a time to gently tend the garden.”

Since the release of her 2013 breakout Pushin’ Against A Stone, June has been patiently at work in the garden of song, nurturing seedlings with love and care into the lush bloom that is her stunning new album, The Order Of Time. Some songs grew from seeds planted more than a decade ago, others blossomed overnight when she least expected them to, but every track bears the influence of time. See, time has been on June’s mind a lot lately. It’s the only constant in life, even though it’s constantly changing. It’s the healer of all wounds, the killer of all men. It’s at once infinite and finite, ever flowing with twists and turns and brutal, churning rapids that give way to serene stretches of placid tranquility. Fight against the current and it will knock you flat on your ass. Learn to read it, to speak its language, and it will carry you exactly where you’re meant to be.

Performing since the age of five, Helene Matalon has graced the stage with her gift of music.  Her songs encompass a wide variety of styles which range from soothing jazz melodies to dynamic blends of dance and Latin to create a unique contemporary sound.  Helene personally produces and mixes all songs in her state of the art home MIDI recording studio.  She enjoys the technical aspect of her work, adding a feminine touch all her own.  

Helene Matalon's music is a profound collection of ballads and dance songs inspired by personal experiences and observations.   "Life Goes On" is a very emotional ballad whose theme centers on the loss of a loved one.  As in most of Helene's lyrics, the meaning of such insight is left to the listener for interpretation. Despite the sadness that is inherent in many of her songs, a spirit of strength and survival prevails.  A young woman's determination and persistence to make it in "One Day" is inspiring to those who have had a taste of rejection much too often.   Another song "Imaginary Lover" reached #1 for Smooth Jazz in the United States and worldwide on www.numberonemusic.com for thirty five consecutive weeks.  "Sea Samba" also reached #1 for Samba in the United States and worldwide on the same website.  

The flexibility of Helene's music can be appreciated by audiences of youth to that of mature adult.  Her performances include appearances at the Apollo Theater, the Bitter End, several street festivals in New York City as well as cable television.  She has also done voice-overs for animation.  Helene released a children's album several years ago.  Her love of children inspired her to write "How I Wish," a song about a young woman reflecting over her past decision to give up her baby for adoption.    

With the ability to emotionally touch many people from different walks of life, Helene Matalon's songs have their own remarkable healing power

Ivor Novello Award-winner and Mercury, Grammy, and BRIT-nominated artist Lianne La Havas unveils her new single ‘Disarray.’ The track showcases a blend of emotional depth and striking vocal delivery, set against sparse, ethereal finger-plucked electric guitar —a signature of La Havas’ style. 

“The song felt very intimate, almost like a secret just for me,” says La Havas. “It’s about vulnerability, honesty, and giving listeners a window into a moment of my life.”

Over the course of her career, La Havas has released three acclaimed albums — Is Your Love Big Enough? , Blood and her self-titled Lianne La Havas  (which won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Album). She has collaborated with leading international artists and captivated audiences worldwide with her spellbinding live performances.

Released via her own Καλό μήνα (Kalo Mina) Records. La Havas embarks on an exciting new chapter, broadening her sonic horizons while remaining rooted in vulnerability and artistry.

After releasing two follow-up singles, I AM and GOLDEN DREAMS to his debut DEAR MOM - EP, Kevin California is back in his home country of Canada and has lifted our spirits with a new EP, TIMELESS. The title track sums up this wild adventure from country to country and the effects that following one’s dreams can have on the mind and essence of one’s self. Recording TIMELESS took place mainly in Montreal, with some parts recorded around Toronto, and the finishing mixes being completed in Los Angeles. Kevin California’s self-produced new work of art, TIMELESS honestly expresses himself and he admits, “I started writing these songs in one place, only to finish writing them in an entirely different environment”. There’s quite an obvious mashup of feelings and emotions that surface when listening to TIMELESS which reflects the writing process itself. Check out his new EP, TIMELESS.
