"Joe Boat"
Jazz


Take me back

Yuko Yamamura’s latest single, "Joe Boat" was released on the 26th of April on YouTube. So far, the exciting new composition is not yet available to stream or download on Spotify, Apple Music or any other music platforms but it is already stirring up a lot of excitement, and critics are saying it is poised to be a summer hit in jazz and classical music circles. It’s been over 6 years since the highly revered independent New York based Japanese French horn composer released her critically acclaimed debut album, “Dancing In The Dialog”, which has echoed through the walls of some of the most prestigious concert halls in the US and Japan, and continues to receive praise till today. “Joe Boat” is a live recording with a very warm, lounge vibe. It’s peaceful, cosy, exciting and will take you back to the days when people could go out and have fun with family, friends and anyone at all in the evenings, at weekends or at anytime at all, and have times so good anything could happen.

"The Ballad Of Mona Lisa"
Alternative Pop



Exquisite!
 
A cover of Las Vegas, US rock band, Panic! At The Disco's song, "The Ballad Of Mona Lisa" played old school jazz style. Another elegant collaboration between New York alternative pop singer, Hannah Gill and New York pianist, Scott Bradley's music collective, Postmodern Jukebox. You'll only hear this playing at the coolest, hippest lounges late at night when the stars come out. It's one of those songs that will pour you a thousand dollar a bottle glass of champagne and take you to a peaceful place in your mind where only your most prosperous thoughts reign. It's beautiful in ways words can't describe with a passionate, heartwarming vocal performance that builds all the way through the record to a fiery climax that burns out slowly.

"Wine And Sax"
Jazz


Sipsmiths only

While perfect for date night and romantic bubble baths, this track also makes the perfect anthem for ladies and gents who take their wine really seriously - or sipsmiths as they are sometimes called. But don't worry, being a sipsmith isn't rocket science and you can be one too. Pour yourself the perfect glass of wine, rest your caboose in the softest, most comfortable seat you can find, turn the lights really low so you feel like you are at a really chic lounge dressed in your most elegant attire, turn up the heating so it's really cosy, sit back, relax, and then, well, sip really slowly and really appreciate every second that passes. This is where you hit the play button below.

This track is also perfect when you need to set a really tranquil mood. It's unobtrusive, very easy on the ears and will have your troubles melt away slowly like a chocolate fountain. Sitting in position number 11 on critically acclaimed independent California, US singer and saxophonist, Ava Lemert's 2017 album, "Smooth Sippin", it's a fan favorite that will never get old.
