New York City, NY - Internationally acclaimed artist Jann Klose returns with his compelling new single, “Future Trap,” offering a bold and sonically rich preview of his forthcoming album The Future Trap, due for release on 29 May 2026. The new single releases today, 17 April 2026.

A dynamic collaboration between Klose and producer-songwriter Marcus Dembinski, “Future Trap” is a rare creative partnership in which both of them co-wrote and co-produced the track - and even performed every instrument on the final recording. The result is a genre-defying sound that fuses reggaeton-inspired rhythms with elements of West African percussion, 80s-style synths, and rock guitar textures.

The origin of ‘Future Trap’ actually begins a few years ago, around the time of Jann’s last record Surrender,” says Dembinski. “Jann sent me a series of demos, among which was the vocal hook for ‘Future Trap’. While it wasn’t right for that project, it stayed with me. When we revisited it in 2025, we built a groove that sampled bits of Jann’s past to create something both nostalgic and new. The energy in the studio was so electric that we ended up playing every instrument on the track ourselves.”

At its core, “Future Trap” explores the universal struggle of falling back into familiar patterns. “We constructed a story about a character who just can’t help himself from repeating the same mistakes,” Dembinski adds. “That idea became so powerful, it ultimately shaped the direction of the entire album.”

For Klose, the track marks a continuation of a deeply collaborative and creatively fulfilling partnership. “After the success of ‘Surrender’, Marcus and I really found our groove (pun intended),” he says. “He’s the first producer I’ve worked with across multiple albums, and our connection makes the process incredibly fluid. We recorded live drums and vocals at The Koop Studios in Irvington, New York, with additional sessions in Manhattan and Astoria. It’s a blend of spaces that mirrors the layered sound of the track itself.”

Raised across Kenya, South Africa, Germany, and the United States, Klose’s music reflects a truly global perspective. With eight albums and two EPs to his name, Jann’s recent releases Surrender and In Tandem have amassed over 10 million streams, charting on Top 40 radio in both the US and South Africa resulting in over 7000 spins across radio.

Beyond the stage, Jann served as the singing voice of Tim Buckley in the 2012 film Greetings from Tim Buckley, and his music has been featured on Billboard Top 10 compilations, GRAMMY®-nominated projects, and in film and television including MTV Cribs and the movies Married Young, Dead Broke and One Little Finger, where he worked alongside the legendary Quincy Jones.

A seasoned performer, Jann has appeared in touring productions of Broadway classics such as Jesus Christ Superstar, Jekyll & Hyde, and The Who’s Tommy, and has collaborated with an extraordinary list of artists including Pat Benatar, John Oates, Suzanne Vega, Paula Cole, Rosanne Cash, Alicia Madison, The Yardbirds, Renaissance and Annie Haslam, Roger McGuinn, Jeffrey Gaines, Pete Seeger, and Les Paul.

In addition to his music, Klose hosts the popular podcast Making Sound with Jann Klose, which has featured over 140 episodes with leading voices from across the global music industry, most recently welcoming the sensational synth pop icon Howard Jones to the show.

With “Future Trap,” Jann Klose not only delivers a standout single but also sets the stage for an ambitious new album era and one that promises to push sonic boundaries while staying rooted in honest storytelling.

Future Trap” is available on all major streaming platforms from today.

Auburn with Liz Lenten Releases Their New Album ‘Behind The Scenes’ on Friday 27th March 2026


Liz Lenten (BEM) says “After lockdown, and all that isolation and distance…Behind the Scenes grew from a desire to connect. Working with writers, vocalists, musicians, and producers from around the world, each song came from shared ideas and honest conversations.

The album explores everyday life - relationships, friendships and situations we find ourselves in.

Recorded across the U.S., the U.K., and Brazil, each of the 32 different collaborators brought their own perspective, sound, and experience, giving a wide range of musical approaches and writing styles from rootsy americana to soulful pop.

I think that diversity really pushed me creatively and let the songs move across different moods and textures, just like the people behind the music.”

Co-written with Michael Garvin (Jennifer Lopez, George Benson) and Sharon Vaughn

“Perfect Imperfections is a love song about how our affections deepen through vulnerability and humour; not in spite of our imperfections, but because of them”.

Liz Lenten (BEM) has worked in various roles in the music industry for over 30 years. She currently manages folk hero Martin Carthy (MBE) and previously other artists including Eliza Carthy (MBE), Shane MacGowan, Nasher (F.G.T.H), and Galia Arad.

She’s been touring, writing, recording and performing since she was 16.

Since re-starting her band Auburn in 2012 has recorded 4 albums, in Nashville with Grammy Nominated producer Thomm Jutz to critical acclaim, gaining great reviews, extensive airplay worldwide, selling over 10000 units.  She tours regularly with her band ‘Auburn Acoustic’ and performed live at E Entertainments showcase in New Orleans.

New Album of Unreleased Demos by THE IVEYS, ‘Miniskirts And Rainbows’ To Be Released Nov. 28, 2025 on Y&T Music

Y&T Music is proud to announce the release of a previously unreleased album by THE IVEYS, Miniskirts And Rainbows. The album, which features 19 rare demos, recorded between 1966 and 1969, will be released on CD and all streaming services on November 28, 2025. There will also be a strictly limited edition 17-track vinyl pressing of 300 copies.

There were a few major developments since the last Iveys release, titled, How Much Is The Sky. The release of Pete Ham's Acoustic album was the follow-up release to Y&T Music’s Gwent Gardens, which has sold out, and Badfinger’s long lost final album recorded with Pete Ham, Head First, was remixed from the original multi-tracks and issued on both CD and vinyl as a special 50th Anniversary edition.

Badfinger archivist & historian Tom Brennan has been compiling and editing this new collection of rare & interesting demos since 2024, and mastering engineer & Badfinger historian Kevin McElligott has been cleaning up the recordings during the past year for public consumption.

The CD edition of Miniskirts And Rainbows includes 19 tracks by The Iveys recorded between 1966 and 1969, of which, only 1 has ever been heard by serious collectors in the versions that appear here. The album contains 6 titles that are alternate versions of tracks by The Iveys or Badfinger that have been previously released, and 10 titles that either collectors or the public have never heard of before. Three of these are solo demos by Mike Gibbins, and two by bassist, Ron Griffiths.

The theme of this Iveys Volume 5 Anthology collection is based on the song “Black & White Rainbows” which makes reference to a purple miniskirt in addition to its title. Of course, we also have the opening and closing tracks which have the word “miniskirt” in their titles.

For the first time, two songs written or co-written by Bill Collins, who was considered as the unofficial 5th member of the group, are included on an Iveys release.  The first is a co-write with guitarist Tom Evans, called “Good Boy”, from the time in late Summer of 1967 when he had just joined the group. The second song which was entirely written by Collins for Apple artist Mary Hopkin in November 1969, was a song called “All The Fun Of The Fair.” On the demo produced by Tom Evans, Pete Ham sang the lead vocal.

In 1969, tape dubs of 6 Iveys demos were sent to both Paul McCartney and Rolling Stones’ manager Andrew Loog Oldham to get their opinions for which songs they should record for a follow-up single to “Maybe Tomorrow.” The last of these to be issued, The Iveys’ own version of “Blodwyn” appears here.

THE SONGS (CD edition)

1. Cleopatra In A Miniskirt
2. I Love You
3. Blodwyn [demo]
4. All Of My Life
5. That’s Okay
6. Spider Woman
7. Angelique [demo]
8. Bound To Get Lucky Someday
9. Girl Without Love

RESOLUTION ALLEY RELEASES DEBUT ALBUM PIECES OF NEVER ON CD AND VINYL THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT

RELEASED AUGUST 1, 2025

Stockton, NJ - Resolution Alley is the musical vision of Jason Wilson, a musician and composer hailing from Maryland. Jason released his first album in 1997 as a solo project called Emerald Tiers and the album was entitled, Whisper The First Scene. Jason also sang on the first Dark Aether Project album and performed several shows with them, including opening for The Flower Kings, Anekdotan and Always Almost. Emerald Tiers evolved into more of a band project than a solo effort and, by the time they entered the studio to record a follow-up, the decision was made to change the band's name to Sustained In Jade. In 2002, they released Sketching The Perfect View and continued to perform around DC and Maryland for a couple of more years, including shows with Crack The Sky and King's X.

Now, five years in the making, Pieces Of Never combines 80's pop and rock melodies with progressive rock influences and creates a unique, yet strangely nostalgic sound. Resolution Alley released their first single and lyric video for “The B-Side” in March and follow up “You Are” in May.

View “The B-Side”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3XQgo7UDBY

View “You Are”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmFdC_brvzc

As Wilson explains, “Pieces Of Never took me a while to complete.  It's not just years of writing music but years of life that inspired these songs.  Some songs were created to help me heal...others just to give a shout to what the world sent my way.”  From the smallest clubs to the Kennedy Center, Jason has shared the stage with some of the biggest names of stage, screen and music. Resolution Alley combines the influence of a career in rock and theater into a distinctive creation.

Jann Klose Brings NYC To Life In Mesmerizing Stop-Motion Video For “When I’m With You”

Jann Klose Brings NYC To Life In Mesmerizing Stop-Motion Video For “When I’m With You”

New York City, NY - Internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Jann Klose has unveiled the official music video for his latest single, “When I’m With You,” a joyful, synth-rock celebration of human connection. The video—shot entirely using stop-motion cinematography—was directed by Texas-born filmmaker Sam Casey and filmed on location throughout New York City, including iconic landmarks like Times Square, Lincoln Center, and the High Line.

The visually captivating video is the product of over 2,000 photographs, taken in a whirlwind six-hour shoot. Each frame was carefully captured one step at a time—echoing the lyricism and sentiment of the song itself. Jann’s idea to incorporate the concept of a “Daumenkino” (flipbook in German) into the visual storytelling adds a personal and playful layer to the experience, blending innovation with heart.

“I had this idea of shooting a full-on stop motion music video in NYC and pitched it to Sam just days after we met,” says Klose. “He loved it and jumped on board immediately. It was exhausting but exhilarating, and the result is beautiful. Along the way, we engaged with random fans on the street—something that really reflects the soul of the song, ‘When I’m With You.’

Director Sam Casey embraced the challenge of using stop motion in a city that never pauses: “This is the first project I’ve done using stop-motion, and it was a blast. Jann’s vision for the flipbook opening—his ‘daumenkino’—set the tone. Shooting in NYC with moving elements all around us while controlling just one or two subjects gave the video a surreal, dreamlike quality. You don’t get multiple takes with stop motion, which makes each frame more intentional and alive.”

The single, co-written with Everett Bradley (Bon Jovi, Seal), is a vibrant and emotionally resonant anthem about intimacy, presence, and joy. Everett also co-produced and performed on the track, with production support from Marcus Dembinski, known for his work on Klose’s previous single “Surrender.”

“Now it’s an upbeat celebration with deep undertones of the human connection experience,” says Bradley.

Dembinski adds: “We leaned into influences like 80s synth pop, Billy Joel, A-ha, and the B-52s, and paired them with Jann’s powerhouse vocals and acoustic energy to craft a new sound for him—one that’s bold, bright, and honest.”

With its one-of-a-kind stop-motion artistry, spontaneous New York moments, and heartfelt storytelling, the “When I’m With You” music video is a vivid reminder that joy lives in the little things and connection is always just one step away.

JANN KLOSE REVEALS “WHEN I’M WITH YOU” – A JOYFUL NEW ANTHEM CO-WRITTEN WITH EVERETT BRADLEY (BON JOVI, SEAL) – OUT 16 MAY 2025

New York City, NY - Internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Jann Klose announces the release of his brand-new single, “When I’m With You,” arriving on Friday, 16 May 2025 via The Royalty Network/KMG Distribution in New York City, with Neighbouring Rights managed by David Gresham Records in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Co-written with Everett Bradley, longtime member of Bon Jovi and Seal’s band, the track is a heartfelt celebration of human connection set to a vibrant, synth-tinged rock backdrop. Everett also serves as co-producer and performer on the track.

“Musically I’ve always been inspired by Jann’s serious vocal chops, how it connects to his guitar playing, and how he connects with people,” says Bradley. “But as we delved into the feelings of a one-on-one connection, that’s when ‘When I’m With You’ started taking shape. And the deeper and more vulnerable Jann became, the better the song became. Now it’s an upbeat celebration with deep undertones of the human connection experience.”

Jann adds: “Working with someone of Everett’s calibre and continuing my work with ‘Surrender’ producer Marcus Dembinski is a dream team come true! Everett got me to open up in a way I haven’t felt comfortable to do until now. I love the honesty of ‘When I’m With You’ and hope it will bring a sense of connection to the listener.”

Marcus Dembinski helped shape the song’s vibrant production, saying: “We were able to push the sound in a new direction, with 80s synth pop and anthemic rock music influencing the arrangement and production. Jann’s powerful voice and bright acoustic guitar combined with heavy drums reminiscent of Billy Joel and the B-52s, as well as the synths and guitars of A-ha and Toto, to create a bold new direction for Jann Klose.”

Recorded at The Koop Studios in Irvington, New York, the track features electric guitar by Nashville’s Max Sternlicht, was engineered by Matt Graff, and mastered by Ben Kesler in St. Louis.

When I’m With You” is a powerful reminder that the deepest connections in life often come from simply being present—with ourselves, and with each other.

Rick Derringer Produced Colour Radio Guitarist Jim Eannelli To Release New Solo Album “Just Deserts”

Album due out in both digital and physical formats September 27, 2024

Producer and multi-instrumentalist Jim Eannelli has been in every sort of band from hard rock to synth pop; he worked with Rick Derringer on the Colour Radio record, played guitar, performed and recorded with both former BoDean Sam Llanas and the Shivvers, the ‘80s power-pop band that finally gained international recognition in recent years. He is a legendary supporting player in his hometown, Milwaukee, and he steps onto center stage for his first album, “Just Deserts.”

Dipping into a trove of original songs written over the years, Eannelli’s “Just Deserts” encapsulates his experiences in life as well as music. The songs are deeply rooted in his years as a member of diverse bands. Just Deserts opens with a ferocious depiction of war’s casualties, “29 Women,” delivered by a rockabilly rhythm with punk attitude and a knife-slashing guitar solo. Eannelli segues easily into “Where I’ve Been,” a ballad of heartbreak and loss. His musical sources are wide, from the sullen blues of “Train from Chicago” to the Beatlesque pop of “Waitin’” and the soaring Americana rock of “Christine.” As a producer, Eannelli reaches for the soul of each song, catching the bright spark of their creation. And as a lyricist, he records the tragedy, confusion and despair of rootless lives, as well as moments of epiphany and spiritual yearning.

“Just Deserts” will be released on Happy Growl Records September 27 via web streaming and download services. CD’s will be for sale at local record shops and through Ebay.com

Peppos-Jones Band Review and Interview: Life Notes

Genre: Rock-Pop

Release Date: August 29, 2024

Website

I first heard music from Peppos and Jones in 2019. Louis Jones was also in that band. The title was 50/80, 50 Years in 80 Minutes. Additionally, I had a blast interviewing these old high school friends.

The album Life Notes was released a few weeks ago. It opens with a rousing “Don't Waste The Dawn.” Because it was several years back, I did not recall the sound as much as I would have liked, but I know the lead vocals are different. And I don’t mean that in a negative way. It is a great way to kick off the recording. 

“Decisions” is the longest track, clocking in at 6:18 minutes. It starts with a newscast discussing a shake-up in Portland. The tune is well-thought-out, with a saxophone adding unique depth and a guitar wailing away. The male and female vocals are understated, serving the purpose of their message. It's a song about brotherhood and understanding, reminiscent of a '60s protest song. The focus here is to take the advice and make a firm “Decision” to do so.

 

“Music In Heaven” starts with a soft acoustic guitar. I started thinking about how this music reminded me of something. The band America came to mind rather quickly because of the gentle but effective vocal style and rhythmic guitar playing in this track. As always, this was my take on what I heard; everyone can listen to it and be engaged differently. Music triggers things in a listener, whether an emotion is connected to a memory, a person, an event, or anything in life. The female vocals are a nice touch, and the partnership works well.

 

“350 Degrees” begins with excitement and rocking sounds and quickly changes to a more mellow sound, with acoustic and electric guitar still a factor but tastefully. The track is about the circle of life and how quickly it completes that circle, with the hope that goals will be reached.

 

“A.I.” is present-day, which makes no sense to these folks. The guitar is rocking out on this track (Courtesy of Barry Scott). There are many opinions about artificial intelligence, and you hear a powerful take on this subject set to some incredible musicianship. It's a straight-ahead rocker that might not make sense to some due to its content. I like the line, “Man or machine, you just never know.” And that is so true.

 

“This Isn't A Love Song” tells you what they are singing about right up front. Just some random thought I decided to put to ink,” the singer explains. He talks about a lovely woman who moves and sways and how breathtaking it is. Some nice guitar lines populate the track with some honest vocals that are just right to emphasize the lyrics. It’s a real toe-tapper. It's like the smooth sailing sounds of a Jimmy Buffet number.

 

“Back To The Bullet” certainly is a change in direction for track titles! It starts with a strumming acoustic and electric slide, giving it a blues-country feel. It's about a convicted person for murder singing that they are innocent and to be hanged and on the run to get back to his family. He sings, asking, “What is free?” and the sound of a prison cell door closing ends it.

 

“The Musician” had a record collection when he was three years old, and he saw The Beatles on Sullivan. After that night, he and thousands of other kids knew what they wanted to be. The only thing I remember about watching that is getting mad at all the girls screaming because I could not hear them playing! It is a touching song about sweet memories and how music made the singer whole. That combination of rhythmic acoustic guitar and tasteful electric is added to give the song a rich, layered sound. The vocals are soft and thoughtful, as they are on many of these tracks.

 

“Expanding Shadows” starts with an old-fashioned organ playing to give it that Halloween sound and perfect lyrics. The track is much different than all the previous tracks. It's dark but light-hearted, a step away from the other tracks' message. However, that is the point; it sounds like the band is having fun with all the different types of music and scary lyrics. It is my favorite track on the album.

 

“Where Would I Be” returns to a softer approach to people, love, and emotion. The track could be about a significant person—whatever the listener wants to interpret it, as is always the case with any song. The lead guitar and piano playing on this track add a layer of emotion. The lyrics and vocals are heartfelt and moving, resonating with the listener personally.

 

Now it's time to close the recording with the title track, “Life Notes.” After all, this entire album is about a lifetime of memories, events, and the feelings that surrounded that. This one is thoughtful and about the meaning of life, and the message is clear: it's about whatever we hold dear. And that, to me, resonates. The music is well played, and the lyrics are expressive, with that ever-present strumming acoustic, but, this time, an electric slide for some more flavor and emphasis is added.

 

Life Notes is a versatile album that will resonate with music listeners who like to reflect upon their lives and those who could use a little push to do so. The album's soft approach and the moments they decided to cut loose and rock keep the listener engaged. The exemplary musicianship, thoughtful lyrics, and vocals that place enough emphasis on the words when needed make for an absorbing listening experience from start to finish.

New York Pop-Rock Ensemble Joyous To Release Debut Album

New York’s celebrated pop-rock group Joyous is releasing their debut album! The band formed in 2015 and features lead singer Joy Pratt, who is also the main songwriter, often humming bass lines into her husband & bassist Randy’s ear. Randy Pratt is best known for his work with The Lizards, Cactus and Ruffyunz.

Joy and Randy write the lyrics together. When guitarist Pat Klein noticed the collection of catchy gems the married couple had assembled, he came on board without a second thought. Pat’s voice blends sweetly with Joy. Add perfect pop percussionist Phil Weiss and there was the Joyous sound!

Pat, a world class engineer, and Randy, owner of a world class recording studio, assured the record’s quality (both were members of classic rock legends The Lizards). Pat’s knack for arranging put the finishing touches on this 43-minutes that sounds like a greatest hits collection.

The band did a video themselves in their studio “on the cheap.” Next step is a big production video.

Joy wrote a happy, feel-good record for a troubled world. With guest appearances from many of New York’s best players and singers, here it is!

Available on HyperspaceRecords.com, Spotify and Apple Music
