Artist: AJ Mclean
Song: Teenage Wildlife
Director: Wade Robson
Posted by Gregory J. Chamberlain
I don't even know where to start when it comes to my friend Wade Robson who directed the video below for former Backstreet Boys member AJ Mclean.  I became friends with Wade, his sister and mother when he was 8 years old and they just landed in LA from their native Australia.  Wade is simply a genius on not just one or two levels, but several.  I have not been too big a fan of the overly manufactured pop artists he has choreographed, written or produced for, but one cannot argue with the kind of  success all of those artists have had with Wade behind the scenes.  And, with that being said.... Hey Wade, when are you going to do your thing as an artist?   In my humble opinion, Wade is the real deal more than all those you have supported, combined, with the exception of perhaps Michael Jackson.

Esperanza Spalding
MusicLoad.Com favorite Artist Esperanza Spalding
A REAL PURE JAZZ ARTIST
posted by Gregory J. Chamberlain
You may have already seen her on The Late Show with David Letterman or on Jimmy Kimmel Live and she has been in hundreds of places between here and there, even playing for heads of state and President Obama.  But in this big bad world, artists who travel that wide can still remain too far under the radar.  MusicLoad.Com is happy to be is just one more little venue for this inspired and gifted multi-genre jazz core artist.

Everything about Esperanza Spalding is a breath of fresh air.  As a bassist myself, I appreciate any upright players who can sing and play upright at the same time and she takes it to a whole other level than most.  Esperanza is as sweet and beautiful, as you will see in this local CBS TV interview and performance, as she is articulate with her vocals and jazz style.

SHEL signs to UMG's (Universal Music Group) Universal Republic Records unit.
SHEL - A MusicLoad.Com Favorite Band
.MusicLoad favorite band, SHEL, signs to Universal Republic Records
by Gregory J. Chamberlain
It was the greatest news to hear that SHEL, a favorite MusicLoad band featured on this page last year, just signed to Universal Republic Records, a Universal Music Group (UMG) company.

Musically, they have that thing called "it", consistently.  The mighty four consists of Sarah, Hannah, Eva and Liza.  Each are serious multi instrumentalists with sharp vocal skills.  They spent much time together as children with their father as he gigged professionally. 

SHEL's music  is pure bliss and synchronistic harmony that perhaps only tight enough sisters could possibly achieve. 
Their music is exactly what I would want my children, if I had any, to be privy to.  It's music that does not rely on a gimmick or a beat.  My instinct tells me that they shall become queens of the children's market in DVD sales and perhaps enter the field of producing or being regulars on top of the line children's TV programs..  Their video below entitled The Latest Greatest Blueberry Rubber Band is evidence of what I am referring too.  I could see this blowing up on kids TV.  Don't you think?

But their music is not just for kids.  It is very sophisticated and the tunes they are showing on their MySpace page is just the tip of the iceberg.  Their track entitled
Nicolo (click to download or listen) is the kind of song that one might hear upon entering the Queen's palace for a great event.  Gorgeous voices and vocal harmonies and a perfect and real string arrangement.  It's minimalist and pure.  Very classical and elegant. 

The group will find solid niche in pop, rock and classical & even jazz genres.  Which of the genres-charts that they ultimately enter into the marketplace through, first, is yet to be seen.  They are diverse and have substance enough to enter through any
.

Who's Nneka?
MusicLoad.Com Favorite Artist, NNEKA
The video below is a artist who is very new to MusicLoad.  Her name is Nneka.   Research uncovered she is well known to many around the world and her sound is gradually creeping everywhere like a great flood.  She has received critical acclaim from major artists such as Lauren Hill  in America, yet Nneka is still a relative unknown.  Her sound has that originality that surely has staying power, for it lacks that time perishibility factor.  Nneka has a blend of super funky soul hip-hop groove influence with her own raging African roots at the core.  She transitioned to Europe and Germany from her native Nigeria.  She has her very own branded sound from song to song that lit up our world the second we heard it.  The songs we can't stop playing are the ones that seem to reflect deep experience and heaviness about African experiences, yet with a uplifting and exceptionally grooving feel that evokes thought and activism and love.  In the video below, her song entitled "Africans" from her album "The Uncomfortable Truth" was shot on location in Lagos, Nigeria over two years ago.  She has a big body of work.  Visit her  myspace page.  Words really do not suffice in describing Nneka.   What a sound and a REAL voice!

Atlantic Records artist Hope Shorter lands featured song on series premiere of MTV's 'The City'
Hope's song "Leave Me In New York" was featured on MTV's series premiere of 'The City'.  Hear Hope and her song "Leave Me In New York" at  MySpace.Com/HearHope

As many may remember (refer bottom of  page), MusicLoad found, photographed and  featured Hope on MusicLoad.Com before she signed to Atlantic Records.  It was clear that she had that intangible and often elusive quality known as "it".

About MTV's  "The City"

It's a whole new world for 'The Hills' star Whitney Port, as she packs up and moves from the comforts of her hometown in Los Angeles to the bright lights of Manhattan. Surrounded by all new friends, pursuing a fresh love life, and starting to work in the upper echelon of the fashion industry is a lot to navigate for a new girl in the big city... especially one who has everything to lose. Visit The City's MTV webpage here for more on 'The City'.

JaC Stone = Hot Unknown
Click here for a free mp3 download of the JaC Stone track entitled You Missed The Point

If you have ever been into Mazzy Star, Chris Isaac, Jewel, Lisa Loeb, Kim Carnes, Joni Mitchell, or Suzanne Vega, today you might want to think about JaC Stone.   At present, (Jan 2009) JaC is 19 years old
and in her 3rd and final year at an Australian university pursuing a Bachelor Degree in Popular Music.
MusicLoad Favorite Artist, JaC Stone
The free download of You Muissed The Point was amongst the recordings she made as part of her first semester assignments in college.  It is the story and her attempt to wash her soul free from a boy who was her first true love and childhood sweetheart whom she'd been with all through high school.  It was a heavy song for her and we like it for such an early demo in any artists career.

MusicLoad thinks JaC Stone has a little something special.  She may not be the right artist for every audience, but when JaC finds her audience, she may well be the celebrated company amongst those above mentioned artists and much more.

The Story of Paula Ferraro
The video below is a completely raw camcorder video with a overhead flashlight as the sole source of light.

A MusicLoad associate met Paula in line at a juice bar in Venice Beach. It was reported she just looked like a rock star without trying.  After a brief conversation it was determined she was indeed a singer/songwriter, photographer and talented sketcher and drawer of her own Picasoesque art which she is always working on, as she is her music.
MusicLoad.Com Photo of Paula Ferraro
She offered up a listen to some recordings that had been recorded directly to the Apple iPod, a very primative low quality way of recording music. Whilst the sonic quality of the recordings left much to be desired, is was apparent that Paula Ferraro had that magic thing MusicLoad likes to call "it".  MusicLoad mustered up a Joe Meek VC1Q microphone pre-amplifier along with a large diaphragm recording microphone for her to try.  She grasped the concept, got her own gear and has gone on to record what is now a rather large body of well crafted songs and recordings.  You can most certainly say you heard her here at MusicLoad.Com first.

Glyn Parry Writing His Next Song
It's like bliss to hear a new song and suddenly drift off, forgetting the days reality, if even for just a few bars.  Glyn Parry did just that and more when we first heard him croon on one of his myspace pages, which is why we call him multifarious.  He has different MySpace pages for different projects that fit the broadness of his musical background.  On his MySpace page that features more soul oriented music is our favorite song entitled Runaway.  It's a beautiful song that might make you heart wrenchingly flash back to homeless souls or runaways you may see in your travels or in your own neighborhood.   With lines such as "surrounded by, a tearful sky, no hope of love from passers by",  Glyn Parry lays it down in the vein of early Boy George Culture Club B sides, with hints of Kenny Loggins meets Michael Mc Donald.  He has this beautiful vibrato reminiscent of Aaron Neville.  However, Glyn Parry delivers up his own identifiable vocal sound and is in no way copying or emulating.  On his my space page is a quote that sums really seems to sum him up: "It doesn't have to be perfect. Just needs a soul!".   MusicLoad.Com would like to say Glyn Parry has that "it" thing in the soul department.  MusicLoad recommends major artists tap into Glyn for a hit song and more.  If you are a music fan, just enjoy his songs while he is still unknown.   We are pleased to have found this fine needle in the haystack.

Gaby Moreno hit our radar a few years ago when it was apparent that she has that intangible, elusive that some people think to be "it".  Since then, she was the overall winner in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest where the "it" of her songwriting skills become etched in the $20,000 check Gaby and her crew walked away with as the prize.   She is  doing exactly what she loves and that is to play, because she gigs often, sometimes doing two gigs in one day.  To do what one loves with a positive glow, real smile and a overall grateful nature... That's Gaby, and that's success in our book!

Sara Bareilles - SaraBMusic.com
Sara Bareilles photo by MusicLoad.Com

On March 29 2004, MusicLoad's photographer shot this photo based on a rumor that Sara Bareilles had "it".  She was a hard working food server at the time and was so low key about her music,  never hyping herself. Few knew of her talent, which is one of those things that sets her apart from the rest.  A year after that photo moment passed, Sara was presented with and signed a major label recording contract with Epic Records, a division of SonyBMG.   Recently Sara's album entitled Little Voice became the biggest selling album on itunes.com itunes.com upon release.

A soulful balladeer and a funky girl, she has a definite straight jazz vibe mixed in.  Sara B is obviously diverse and a real true musician that is not out riding a trend or a fad. Part of what makes her special is her minimalist and stripped bare naked sound.  No overplaying or overly emphasized soul shows her purity.  She's soothing at the lowest volume settings and awesome cranked up high.

Way Mellow Jazz Soul MusicLoad Pick
Cruising on music.download.com, MusicLoad came across French Horn player Alex Brofsky's jazz genre project entitled AB + and a sweet vocalist named Jianda who adds what is necessary to make this a beautiful track to melt into the sofa or the sand, if you are so lucky.  Alex graciously has granted MusicLoad permission to give musicload.com visitors the free mp3 download below.  Enjoy!  If you dig the sound and wish to purchase more of AB+, Alex told Musicload that he likes to people to buy at his personal CD Baby pages at www.cdbaby.com/cd/abplus2 and/or  www.cdbaby.com/cd/abplus

Hope Shorter
Atlantic Recording Artist Hope Shorter
The first time we had the privilege of seeing Hope Shorter was a moment when we knew this girl was truly gifted and had that thing MusicLoad calls "it".  She was performing her song entitled  "The Rain Don't Last Forever" in a street performance on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, California.  She was unsigned at the time.  On a street filled with wanna be stars and people who generally keep walking, a crowd had formed around Hope and her brother who played bass.  The crowd, mostly with their heads bowed and eyes closed all listened with intensity.  That one song had that spine tingling impact that leaves listeners with tears in their eyes and spines still tingling.  One just knows....... "Hit".

This photo was shot by MusicLoad a few days later at a packed house at Temple Bar in Santa Monica, California just weeks before Hope was signed to a major label recording contract with Atlantic Records, original home to many of the greatest musical stars of all time.  Hope has remained practically underground as she is formulating her next recordings.  We know that her day will come when she will be a household name around the world.  Until then.......
