Holiday Gift Guide - Jazz Loves Disney #JAZZLOVESDISNEY

This is a sponsored post from Disney Music and One2One Network. All opinions are my own.

My children's father is a jazz musician, so they have always had a healthy appreciation for the genre, but it did seem like a dying art. Luckily, Disney is bringing Jazz back to a new generation with their fun new album, Jazz Loves Disney. They've taken some of their most popular classic jazz songs and added them onto on fabulous album.  The track list includes:

1.  Jamie Cullum – "Everybody Wants To Be A Cat" – from The Aristocats

2.  Melody Gardot – "He’s A Tramp" – from Lady And The Tramp

3.  Stacey Kent – "Bibbidi Bobbodo Boo" (French version) – from Cinderella

4.  Gregory Porter – "When You Wish Upon A Star" – from Pinocchio  

5.  China Moses – "Why Don’t You Do Right" – from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

6.  Raphaël Gualazzi – "I Wanna Be Like You" – from The Jungle Book

7.  The Rob Mounsey Orchestra – "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes" – from Cinderella

8.  Hugh Coltman – "You’ve Got A Friend In Me" – from Toy Story

9.  Anne Sila – "Let It Go" – from Frozen

10.  Melody Gardot & Raphaël Gualazzi – "The Bare Necessities" – from The Jungle Book

11.  Laika – "Once Upon A Dream" – from Sleeping Beauty

12.  Nikki Yanofsky -"Someday My Prince Will Come" – from Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs

13. The Hot Sardines – I Wanna Be Like You (French & English version) – from The Jungle Book (US release only)

Many of the artists on this soundtrack were excited to see the songs making a comeback. Anne Sila has this to say about the new album:

"I’m lucky to be part of this beautiful album and honored to share it with artists I have admired for many years. Jazz represents a huge part of my musical path where I keep returning. Disney marked my childhood, like most children, but as an adult I still have a great taste for fairytales and imaginary. Being able to combine both in one album is fun and inspiring. The cherry on the cake was to revisit “let It go” which has been such a success the last few years. It’s a great way to discover those famous tracks and add fantasy and jazz to it. I’m proud to be part of it.”

I really loved this CD. Many of the songs were tunes I enjoyed myself as a child, and now I can enjoy them with my own children. Plus, there are some newer songs like,  "Let it Go" which is my daughter's all-time favorite. My personal favorite is, "He's a Tramp" followed closely by, "I Wanna Be Like You" since these two songs are from movies I watched when I was younger.  Want to grab a copy of this fun Album for yourself? You can find it now on both Amazon & iTunes.

This is What The Truth Feels Like by Gwen Stefani #ThisIsWhatTheTruthFeelsLike #GwenO2O

I been a huge fan of  Gwen Stefani and her music since way back in the 90's when she was performing with No Doubt.  She's not just a girl in the world anymore, though. Now, she's a woman who has stood the test of time and just released her newest solo album,  Gwen has such a unique voice coupled with a classic look that is hard to resist,  The songs in this album have taken Gwen's music to a whole new level. As the title says, it's filled with truth. There is true raw emotion that is deeply moving in some of the songs while others are filled with fun. Slow ballads and fast paced dance tunes alike, they all  have a catchy beat and memorable lyrics. I enjoyed all the sounds of the album, but here is a little sample one of my favorite songs in the play list.



I love knowing that these songs are personal to the artist, and sung and written from her heart. She says herself that it's her "most personal work to date."  That sentiment really shines through in both the notes and the lyrics. You'll feel the magic of love won and love lost when you listen to these tracks, and it's easy to come back to them again and again. The full track list includes the following selection of songs.

Misery
You're My Favorite
Where Would I Be
Make Me Like You
Truth
Used to Love You
Send Me A Picture
Red Flag
Asking 4 It (Feat. Fetty Wap)
Naughty
Me Without You
Rare

There are also four exclusive bonus tracks if you purchase the album from Target including:

Rocket Ship
Getting Warmer
Obsessed
Splashed

You can grab a copy of this album for yourself on iTunes or  Target.  You can also find special a limited-edition bundles on Gwen Stefani's website.  Hurry and grab your copy of this fantastic album today, and let Gwen Stefanie sweep you away into a world of love and romance.

Our Thoughts

KIDZ BOP is a godsend. With family and friends living far away, we can be in the car for hours and these CDs save us! I cannot make it halfway down our driveway without my oldest bugging me to play some music, she can't stand silence in the car. KIDZ BOP keeps all of us sane as we can listen to the current greatest hits and yet they are kid friendly too. I love the creative ways KIDZ BOP comes up with a PG version of songs that aren't quite appropriate.

Great enough for the kids, but still entertaining enough for us parents that we don't go crazy. We've acquired quite a few KIDZ BOP CDs and we love all the songs. It's as fun for me as it is for the kids to listen to our favorite songs in the KIDZ BOP version and somehow KIDZBOP always seems to pick our favorite songs that we like as a family to make for their CDs!

Nothing better than getting in the Christmas spirit with your typical songs but with a kid flare. Perfect for getting in the mood and making nostalgic memories as a family. Thank you KIDZ BOP!

Buy yours here and here and don't forget to check them out on Facebook, and Twitter!

Mearra – Selkie from the Sea CD - Review & #Giveaway

Linda Marie Smith
Mearra – Selkie from the Sea

 The ancient Celtic legend of the Selkie, a mythical seal with the mysterious ability to metamorphose into a human being, is the setting for Chicago-based singer/songwriter Linda Marie Smith's fourth album, Mearra – Selkie from the Sea, to be released in February 2014.

With a genre-crossing vocal style that encompasses a folk/rock sensibility, Linda Marie Smith's music is romantic, soulful, earthy, and mystical, with lyrics and melodies that weave colorful stories of curious places and intriguing people.  Linda has been compared to the likes of Christina Perri, Aimee Mann, Lucinda Williams, Natalie Merchant, Jewel, and Sarah McLachlan.

An enigmatic and bittersweet story of love, loss, and transformation, Mearra – Selkie from the Sea begins with Mearra, a young Selkie maiden, falling in love with Ian, a lonely fisherman entranced by her beauty.  Mearra bids farewell to her life in the sea, marries Ian, and starts a family.  However, at the end of seven years, a Selkie must return to her watery cosmos.  The sea inexorably calls for Mearra's return.

Mearra – Selkie from the Sea transports listeners, inviting chldren and adults alike to use their imaginations as they enter an enchanted world that has inspired writers and composers like Yeats, Synge, and Arnold Bax for centuries.  The highly evocative "Ian's Song" sets a mood of Celtic mystery.  "Mearra" follows, and the listener is swept up in an expansive cloud of orchestral colors created by strings, percussion, and synthesizer that conjures images of sea, sky, and wild, rocky coastline.   "All This and More" delivers a change of pace with something of a Nashville country sound, which effectively introduces a human element into the watery, mystical world of the Selkie.  The jazziest number on the album is "Heaven Knows," with its upbeat rhythm set by piano, concertina, and enthusiastic hand clapping.

Immersed in music since childhood, Linda Marie Smith turned her attention to songwriting as an adult, and, in 1998, released a self-titled debut album, followed two years later by a second album, Blame it on the Moon.  Linda's first multi-media show, the critically acclaimed The Triumph of Artemisia, premiered in 2006, as did her album by the same name.   Her current project, the multi-media experience Mearra – Selkie from the Sea, forms the basis for its accompanying album, produced by Rich Rankin at Mosaic Music in Chicago.

Honored by the Billboard Songwriting Contest, Linda Marie Smith's music has also received recognition from the Illinois Arts Council in conjunction with the National Endowment for the Arts.  In addition to recording and performing, she teaches at Chicago's famed Old Town School of Folk Music.

Mearra – Selkie from the Sea will be available online at CDBaby.com and iTunes.  

   My Thoughts When I sit down to work on a novel or even a blog post, I love to have music in the background. It has to be something soothing and uplifting. I am always on the lookout for new artists, and I was really excited to discover Linda Marie Smith. Her style is a combination of rock and folklore that is right up my alley. This particular CD derives from the Celtic legend of the Selkie and appeals to me even more. What makes the CD truly unique is that in addition to beautiful vocals and stunning instrumentals, including strings, percussion and synthesizer, the songs are telling a story. You journey with the young Selkie maiden Mearra as she falls in love with a mortal. Follow the tale through the heights of their passion to the devastation of Mearra's return to the sea.  Every song on the CD was written and performed by Linda herself, and listening to it is truly a magical experience. Anyone who enjoys new age or Celtic music is sure to love this masterpiece.  The Giveaway  One lucky winner is going to copy of the Selkie by the Sea CD!  To enter, just fill in the Rafflecopter form below.

Holiday Gift Guide - New from Walt Disney Records - The Disney Classics Box Set

Do you belt out A Whole New World in the shower? Can you remember all the lyrics to the Duck Tales Theme song? Does Get'cha Head In the Game get'cha toes tappin'? 

Then meet the Disney Classics box set, the latest compilation from Walt Disney Records of over 90 classic songs from film, television, and theme parks! It's the perfect gift for Disney music lovers.

 

The four volumes of the collection – Disney Modern Classics, Disney Timeless Classics, Disney Theme Park Classics, and Disney Television Classics – bring favorite musical moments to fans of all generations.

 

Timeless Classics
Collected here are some of the most iconic melodies from Disney's golden era. From 'When You Wish Upon a Star' to 'A Spoonful of Sugar' and 'Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah' to 'The Whistle Stop,' these Timeless Classics are part of a musical heritage inextricably woven into our human culture heirlooms passed down through the generations.

Modern Classics
This compilation begins with 1989's The Little Mermaid, which not only ignited the renaissance of Disney Animation and storytelling, but a rebirth of Disney Music as well. Favorites from 'Under the Sea,' 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'A Whole New World,' these Modern Classics continue to shape the company's musical history and heritage.

Television Classics
Spanning from the 1950s to present day, this album represents quite an eclectic compilation of themes. At the very least, it's an interesting musical graph of changing tastes and social evolution over the last 60+ years. Everything from 'The Ballad of Davy Crockett,' to 'Get'cha Head in the Game' from High School Musical, is represented on this album, but probably the most beloved of these Television Classics however, has to be the 'Mickey Mouse Club Alma Mater.'

Theme Park Classics
Music plays a vital role in the Parks as well; whether it be cleverly establishing an attraction's story or the sheer brilliance of underscoring the banks and turns of a thrilling roller coaster. Collected here are not only those Theme Park Classics we know and love today, but others we fondly remember from days gone by. 

Pre-orders begin October 22nd and the box set will be available wherever music is sold on November 12th.  However, you can pre-order on Amazon right now for only $38.71.

Michael Bublé To Be Loved CD Review

***Complimentary product received in exchange to an honest review**

 

Everyone's favorite Canadian crooner is back again, finding his harmony while making his way through the American songbook (and looking oh-so dapper in a suit)

 "I want to take you on a wonderful journey about love—all different kinds of love," Michael says. "The album swings big time: it rocks, it’s soulful, it’s happy, sometimes a little sad. It’s romantic, it’s yummy, and it’s heartfelt." 

To Be Loved, out now, finds the Grammy winner covering songs by Frank Sinatra, the Bee Gees, Jackson 5, Elvis Presley, Van Morrison, and more. In the mix of golden standards are four original songs co-written by Bublé, dipping into his personal life for inspiration. 

"Do not think I take my success these last ten years for granted. I was anything but an overnight sensation, which inspires me to deliver big time for my fans—maybe even make some new ones this time out." says Bublé. "I labored over every song, every note and every arrangement because I can’t resist trying to make each record better than my last one." 

These are good times for the singer, who is about to become a first-time dad. He sounds like a man in love with life. "I wrote Close Your Eyes about my wife and about the power of all the women in my life—my sisters, my mom, my grandma and all women in general. Let’s face it, where would we be without them? I Got It Easy, another original, is basically a song where I count my blessings and is a reminder to me and everyone to appreciate all the good parts of life. I’m a very lucky guy and I never want to forget it."

3. "To Love Somebody"

4. "Who's Lovin You"

5. "Something Stupid" (featuring Reese Witherspoon)

6. "Come Dance with Me"

8. "After All" (featuring Bryan Adams)

9. "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You" (with Naturally 7)

10. "To Be Loved"

12. "Nevertheless (I'm in Love with You)" (featuring The Puppini Sisters)

13. "I Got It Easy"    

14. "Young at Heart"

My Thoughts 

To Be Loved is yet another fantastic album from the Canadian crooner, Michel Buble. He has a voice that will charm the masses. His music is like a modern day Frank Sinatra. To Be Loved brings us fourteen new tracks, all of which have strong instrumentals as well as the suburb vocals I've grown to love.  "To Love Somebody" was definitely my favorite because the verses just seemed to call to me, but every song of the CD is beautiful in its own right. While I did enjoy all the music, many of the tracks were covers. I would really like to see this artist do some more original songs. I think this would only enhance his already spectacular performances and make his voice more his own.  That being said, the CD is still fantastic and I'll be listening to it every chance I get.

  I participated in this campaign for One2One Network. I received a free copy of the album to facilitate my review. By posting, I am eligible for incentives. All opinions stated are my own.
