Shifting perspectives
'Old Oak' by Dawn Melanie is a song about shifting perspectives. It references the mythology of Odin and how, hung from his ankle for nine days and nights he gained wisdom.

Have a Little Faith in the World was written along the shore of Lake Superior in Duluth, Minnesota, USA. Thinking about how easy it is to lose faith in each other, I channeled my energy into writing a song that calls on us to remember that evil actions don't represent the majority of people. In fact, it's a very small percentage that carry out these horrible crimes. We can't lose faith in each other. We cannot allow those misguided souls to take away our trust, our love, our joy.

Music as we know it has always been about vocal fluidity and fluency, it's pitch and texture is what has driven most to love a certain artist. The turn of the millennium and the rise of the 2K generation has brought a different point of view of how music should be seen.

This shift in the musical paradigm has birthed many talented artists who have not been scared to create their own diverse sound that speaks to the masses.

After fantastic reviews of the album “The Thrill Of Loving You”, here is a brilliant edit of the lead single “The Thrill Is Gone”. Julia Werup’s interpretation is magnificent and her vocal performance is just outstanding. The musical performance by the band sounds refreshing and modern.

‘Fantasize’ is a grandiose rant in which Arlen airs his discontentment with his station in life as well as the socio-political climate at the time of his writing, while defiantly daring to dream big. He began writing the song during his gruelling tenure in medical school when he truly began questioning his purpose in life. Fantasize allowed for a bit of frivolous escapism from what, at the time, felt like the harshness of his reality. Lesroy ‘A.P.’ Byers of the Oakville Collective captures perfectly in the production, the sentiment of Arlen’s hopeful helplessness.
Better late than never, is an instrumental song that can be listened by jazz enthusiasts, and can be used as a signature song for different music or documentary programs.
