Decisions, Decisions...


By chrismoore, 2011-07-19

The difficulty, when you've been away for a while and you have got a few songs waiting to see the light of day, is knowing which one to put up next.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to listen to Walking on Water, the first solo song I've floated out there into the wide world for over a year.  Thanks also for the reviews, you guys!  I've been a bit slack in that department myself, but I'm now home for three whole lovely weeks and I'm going to hunt out some of the great tracks hiding on here so's I can pinch some of your ideas (only joking Sealed ).

In the end I decided to put out a new song called "Skies of blue" next.  Back to my secret eco-warrior stance for this one, something with a similar story line to my old song "Contranature" but written from an after-the-event perspective.  One day I might even write a happy song, who knows Wink

Here's the link to the new one - thanks for listening if you got this far.

Skies of blue

All the best

a new song........a new style

a new song........a new style

<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">i found that the lead riff don't make good sense if it don't end well</span></p><p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">so i came up with the idea of 'DRAWING A CONCLUSION" how do you make a good ending.....you conclude a conclusion.........you end an end........you play until what your ending is resoved in laymens termes...........lol.................so if your drawing a conclusion to every lick you play how do you go on........I suggest instead of starting a fresh idea make the solo just a conclusion of your original idea.......look at this new song of mine and see if you like the idea..........</span></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/joel_tuttle/song_focus_25025.php">Re-Now-Er</a></span></strong></p>

Article on Organico album by RadioINDY.com - USA

Creative World Music Review 

Reviewer: Xavier P. for RadioIndy 

“Organico” by El KadySami is an inspiring collection of Latin-folk/world songs. In two words, this CD is remarkably creative! No two songs are alike, offering listeners a refreshing concoction of jazz, folk, African-beat and Latin flavor. Hailing multi-lingual appeal, “Organico” displays some amazing instrumentation, including everything from beautiful jazz pianos and guitars to traditional Latin and African percussion. All of the singers on this CD are exceptionally talented and deliver enchanting performances! “I’ll Show You” serves as insight into El KadySami’s innovative vocal and instrumental arrangements, while introducing a clever lead whistling melody. Moreover, these lyrics are very uplifting and encouraging. Finished with great production, every fan of Latin and World music should give this album a listen!
