"WHERE YOU GONNA GO" was written by Eric Roberson, Bryan James Sledge and Rodney Jones and produced by Eric Roberson, and Rodney Jones for Art of Artez Productions. “Where You Gonna Go” is a song that explores simple extremes”, says Roberson. “It’s inspired by a question I ask myself to help the sunshine, even when facing storms.“ A lullaby hook blended with 70’s soul, Detroit hip hop, and 3/4 gospel undertones invite listeners to engage in everything from slow dancing with a partner to praying for them.

Multi-Award Winning Songwriter-Producer, BRANDON WILLIAMS Releases 5-Track Project, "THE LOVER'S SUITE"….

released EP, "THE LOVER'S SUITE" from multi-award winning singer-songwriter, BRANDON WILLIAMS. The EP is globally available now, via the Keep It Moving Music (KIMM)/SRG JAZZ label imprint.

"THE LOVER'S SUITE," is a 5-track tastefully crafted sensual love-letter from us gentlemen to the ladies. It’s a symphony of desire, a collection of love stories, and an exploration of the most tender moments shared between two souls. It’s a sonic aphrodisiac and the perfect soundtrack for a late-night rendezvous. Let it guide you through the labyrinth of love.

Always on a mission to remind the masses that exceptional music exists in the current landscape, Brandon Williams intentionally crafted “The Lover’s Suite” as a 29 minute and 12 second aural experience. "To hear it in full, you must listen to the entire thing, but I decided to break each song out on its own and include an interlude so that people can choose what they want to experience moment to moment. I called in a cast of musical superheroes to assist on the journey," shares Williams.

The project includes appearances by Grammy-Nominated musicians, Robert Glasper and Taylor Eigsti, along with the exceptional talents of Brian McKnight Jr., Matt Cusson, Joe Poré, and Perry Hughes. "Brandon Williams is one of the greatest musical minds of this generation. While understanding and being well-aware of what’s current, he is influenced by the great history of music, and not just black music... all music! It was a true honor to be a part of this project, "says Robert Glasper.

One of the highlights of the EP is, "Everything & More" featuring Brian McKnight Jr. The beautiful ballad was written by Brandon Williams and Brian McKnight Jr. and produced by Brandon Williams. "Inspired by the thought of getting to make love to a woman for the first time after dating for a while. The longing to explore her more while she guides you through exactly what she likes. She’s the coach and you’re the player," says Brandon.

Another stand-out song on the project is the Brandon Williams produced and Matt Cusson penned track, "Gentle Breeze". "It was literally inspired by a woman saying, “I hope this breeze takes me somewhere.” It’s a love story of two people that met on a beach and fell in love despite speaking two different languages. The common and universal languages between them were music and love. This is a
song about the love and longing for someone that you absolutely can’t live without," adds Brandon.

Musical pioneer Teddy Riley was among the first to hear the album after its completion and he offered these words. “This album is a masterpiece and Grammy Award Winning material. You’re a genius, bro. Where would you like me to sit in your sanctuary?”

"It was told to me years ago to create the art you want to see in the world... create what you feel is missing and with The Lover’s Suite, I’ve done just that." Brandon Williams

Emerging Singer-Songwriter JALISA REY Releases Her Sophomore EP, "MIXY" …

Have you heard the recently sophomore released EP, "MIXY" emerging singer-songwriter, JALISA REY. The EP is globally available now, via the D&G Records/SRG-ILS Group label imprint.

Rising singer and songwriter, JALISA REY, recently released her anticipated sophomore EP, “MIXY”. MIXY, the soul-stirring EP by JALISA REY, is the reflection of an emotional whirlwind that has recently engulfed her life. It's a journey of conflicting emotions – from highs to lows, from longing to detachment, all caused by this thing called love.

Throughout MIXY, the 7-track EP with production from Pagani, and JulesTheWulf, and collabs from the pen of Dom Mayo and Karrissa Love, JALISA REY invites listeners to experience the unfiltered emotions that have defined her recent journey through life- a mixture of love, regrets, desires, and everything in between. "I am excited for the world to continue to see my growth and versatility as an artist," mentions Jalisa.

The EP kicks off with "FSW," an anthem that encapsulates Jalisa's current state: "I want you, but you're too damn toxic... I don't want to share you with nobody." "It mirrors the struggle of knowing what's bad for you but irresistibly yearning for it at the same time- a sentiment that many can relate to. In the midst of such emotional turmoil, conflicts then lead to Jalisa crossing the line, which is beautifully captured in her track "Cross the Line." This song is carried by deep regrets and Jalisa’s desire to mend things after a heated dispute. "I know you probably think I'm crazy, but I'm still on you," Jalisa confesses, embodying the complexity of her emotions.

As the EP continues to unfold, Jalisa takes listeners on a thrilling ride with "How I Like It”. In this song, featuring YSL member T-Shyne, she admits to deliberately fueling arguments for the thrill of the passionate makeup sex that follows. She then leads us to "Rounds", a dose of sultry sensuality, offering listeners a temporary escape from the emotional rollercoaster. Right on track however, the EP inevitably swings back to "No Feelings," a heartrending ballad about partying without remorse, which clearly reveals that Jalisa is still entangled in her emotions.

She continues to pour her heart out in the next song entitled "Bad Thing," where she expresses feelings of vulnerability, but her partner devalues her worth, the love has turned sour, and she’s chosen to finally leave. As the EP draws to a close, Jalisa takes us full circle with “On My Own Wave”, portraying her journey through life's challenges. It's a testament to her resilience and determination to find her way, even during the toughest moments.

Ok; pardon the excitement in this release, but if you’re anything like me, you get it! When I say I rock with Erica Campbell, I ROCK with Erica Campbell!

"Feel Alright (Blessed)" just spent three weeks at #1 on the Billboard Gospel Charts simultaneously.

"The "I Love You" record is special to me because it is a culmination of me totally receiving God's love. I've grown to understand that He loves me as I am, but loves me enough not to let me stay as I am. These songs have taken time to record and write, and I believe it will reignite our desire for love and God's love. Unfortunately, many people are hopeless and don't have high expectations because of past trauma, but I promise you, this love record will reconnect you to God's love. I am excited about my collaborations with PJ Morton and D Smoke. Also, with all of my sisters and my children, Krista, Wozy and Zaya, being a part of this record, it feels like love to me, and I pray that's what people feel when they hear it," shares Erica Campbell.

That's real talk and I wanted to put it in a song as a reminder of all God has done because He's done so much. I hope this song makes you remember all He's done in your life. I hope it encourages you to reflect on the goodness of God, the greatness of God, the mercy of God, the favor of God, and the power of God, and then celebrate that goodness. He sho' has been good," she adds.

The most recent song release is "Trust and Obey". "The song was was written by my friend, Gromyko Collins. It is a beautiful song and impacted my heart the moment I heard it. I knew I wanted to sing it because I feel every one of these lyrics. After all, without trust and obedience to the Father, I won’t live the full life God has for me. I want to experience all that He has for me. To be transparent, there’s been many times I have not obeyed and I did not trust Him but God‘s gracious hand helped to build my faith back up when I lost it and wasn’t even sure how to find it. I found it in trusting God and obeying him even when it didn’t make sense to me. So I hope this song reminds you to trust and obey the Father because we can trust Him. He’s trustworthy. He’s got a great track record!."
