Plunky's "Love Makes Us Better" Video Is Cosmic Jazz-Funk

In his "Love Makes Us Better" video Plunky imagines John Coltrane or Pharaoh Sanders getting funky and spiritual and political in today's Youtube musical landscape.



Watch the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fun0F7BJvCs



"Love makes us better" is a declarative statement of belief in the power of universal love. The new song written by acclaimed saxophonist J. Plunky Branch, expresses his personal belief in love as a positive force in human nature.



It turns out the man with the horn is also a man with a vision, as Plunky directed and produced this short-form video masterwork that explores the intersection of musical romanticism and political and social idealism. The message in the video is simple: love makes us better people and a better nation.



The mood and tonality of the song's instrumental track is definitely rooted in the cosmic jazz of the 1960s and 70s. During that era, Plunky worked with Ornette Coleman, Sam Rivers, Pharaoh Sanders, Rashid Ali, Lonnie Liston Smith, Ndikho Xaba and others while leading his group, Juju. Plunky produced two albums on the innovative jazz label Strata-East Records and two albums on Black Fire Records before establishing his own N.A.M.E. Brand Records label. Over the years Plunky & Oneness (of Juju) developed an Afro-jazz funk sound by combining soulful, polyrhythmic and improvisational styles.



On "Love Makes Us Better," Plunky evokes the sentiments of past cosmic jazz saxophone masters, as his soprano soars over the rhythm section guided by Dr. Weldon Hill's grand piano motif. Hip-hop producer J. Fire Branch's beats and funky drums propel the track into today's future tense. Plunky's raw lead vocals are smoothed by angelic background singers (Charlayne Green and Kala Page) as he delivers his simple but poignant lyrics:



Love is supernatural and satisfactual/Magnificent, excellent and heaven sent

Personal love. Universal love. It's all about love

Love makes things better/Better and better

Love makes us better/Better and better



Plunky is a persistently innovative and versatile artist whose 25 albums and 450 original songs span multiple genres including, African, jazz, funk, R&B, hip-hop and reggae. He has toured extensively with his group, Plunky & Oneness (of Juju), performing in concert and at festivals with some of the biggest names in Black music, including George Clinton, Earth Wind & Fire, Patti LaBelle, LL Cool J, Lonnie Liston Smith, and so many more. Plunky recently received a 50 For 50 Award as an outstanding artist of the last 50 years from the Virginia Commission for the Arts. His songs have been on national and international charts, licensed for television, sampled, re-recorded and re-issued on numerous international compilations.



"Love Makes Us Better" will be the title song of the upcoming full-length album due out later this summer, but the song is available now as one of the tracks on "Only You," Plunky's four-song maxi-single CD which this week entered the Smoothjazz.com Top 50 Indie Chart. The "Only You" maxi single is available on itunes, amazon and all the usual online streaming services; and it can be ordered at https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/plunkyoneness8

Dan McCarthy Releases New Video And Single "Ladybug Point" Worldwide

It was 20 years ago while traveling the coast of Oregon when McCarthy and his then girlfriend Karen stopped to take in the view. It was there, as the two gazed at the beauty of the towering cliffs and with the sounds of the crashing waves below, the poem, "Ladybug Point" was written on a tattered piece of note paper. The two would later be married and go on the build their family and life together as the poem remained in a drawer for the next 18 years. In 2014, McCarthy was inspired to write a song from his poem and later was added as one of the songs on his first EP.



In 2016 McCarthy submitted one of his songs to Music 1 Radio, the internet radio station sponsored by Star 1 Group. Laura Patterson, President of Star 1 Group, Star 1 Records, and Shine On Records heard McCarthy's song and contacted him for a phone interview. What resulted was a newly produced video for Ladybug Point and a complete remix that became the soundtrack and a new single. "I was taken by both the simplicity and beauty of the song. After learning that it was inspired by a poem, it was easy to understand why", stated Ms. Patterson.



The video is available on Vevo and all of it's 11 supported platforms along with Sony's Video Zone in Europe and Music 1 Television. The soundtrack is available on iTunes, Amazon, Apple Music, Spotify and from over 600 more outlets worldwide.

MarilynMusic Is Excited To Announce Their New Youtube Music Channel

MarilynMusic has created a new music channel on YouTube.

All of the NY/LA based Music Production company's songs and videos will be available there, in addition to their other internet locations.

They'll also be posting one to two songs a week on Facebook, and they encourage fans to "like" the songs.

In addition to expanding their internet presence, Casey Conrad and Michael Gaines of MarilynMusic continue to write and produce new material at their East and West coast studios.

"Adding the You Tube channel is another step in increasing our visibility, and getting our music heard by as many people as possible." said Conrad.

"We've also added several new tracks to our catalogue, including more country songs, 'It's Gotta Be Good' and 'Ain't That As Good As It Gets,' two fun and engaging party tunes. The tracks are burning, but we're still looking for the right singer to fit the songs. It's a challenge to find authentic country voices in New York City." He added.

Two other new MarilynMusic recordings "No Stone Left Unturned" and "Different," feature the voice of Colin Smith, lead singer of the band "Hundred Hounds," based in New York. He also tours with Christina Aguilera while maintaining a stellar career as a solo artist.

"It's always a pleasure to have Colin Smith work on one of our tracks. He adds much more than his great voice to the recording process. His collaborative spirit and musicality make every song better." Gaines commented.

MarilynMusic's combination of high quality production, musicianship, and accessible tunes, continues to impress.

Those Damn Eyes To Release Debut Single and Video "Mysterious Mixture"

Possibly one of the most anticipated releases of this year is the debut single and video by Texas rock band Those Damn Eyes entitled "Mysterious Mixture." Founded in Austin, Texas Those Damn Eyes exudes powerful, sexy aggression through its sonic display of heavy-pop-rock. Led by front woman Alyssa Ehrhard and guitarist Daniel Corder, the two have created a strong collection of material that is bursting with high-range, beautifully sung melodies and finely-crafted musical arrangements that stimulate and embolden listeners to just... give in.

"The concept behind 'Mysterious Mixture' explores the sentiment of a past relationship. I wanted to express the frustration, confusion, agony, and ecstasy in a beautiful way. Lyrically, I talk about this kind of emotional struggle. The video is an expression of acceptance and healing, showing that despite everything we still have the ability to smile and dance spontaneously. We still have the ability to be happy, no matter what might come our way. It's about my own journey of struggle and healing. Daniel is the 'good man' that found me as a diamond in the rough. I want to send a message to people who can relate to such struggle and healing; I want each of them to understand they're not alone."

Watch Those Damn Eyes "Mysterious Mixture" video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRQcu4DKPlI

Those Damn Eyes' debut single release, "Mysterious Mixture" was written by vocalist Alyssa Ehrhard and guitarist Daniel Corder. Lyrical and melodic work took place shortly after the pair met in July of 2014, while music was written in the fall of 2013 and recorded in January '14 . The band has had the fortunate opportunity to create its recordings with producer and bassist, Matt Noveskey. Their sessions take place at Orb Studios, a masterfully-built studio in West-Austin. Noveskey's experienced ear and knowledge of exceptional tone has been essential in forging the band's sonic identity.

Alyssa excels as an artist; in addition to her vocal talents, she is an exceptionally talented painter and uses her skilled-hand in creating band artwork. Daniel is a devoted composer and multi-instrumentalist who hones his skill through eclectic musical taste and collaborations in differing genres. Jake Rabin, drummer, has an admirable amount of talent and experience through his involvement in various bands in the Austin and Dallas music scenes. Marc Martell, guitarist, has developed a great finesse with lead guitar-work and shares a different project with Jake. Don Denham, bassist, works as a music teacher and bassist for-hire and devotes time to his own passion-project.

MusicDishTV Review: "Born Beautiful" by John Mullane

Canadian recording artist John Mullane's song, "Born Beautiful", is a touching ballad. It seems like he is almost singing about his daughter or a daughter he wish he had.

The song tells that young girls shouldn't settle and to always remember that they were born beautiful. With heart and soul, Mullane sings that as adults we should never forgot the inner child within us and the happiness a sense of innocence can bring us.

The video clip is also touching. It follows the tale of a self conscious young girl, who clearly doesn't know her true self just yet. She tries to be the "cool kid" at a party and mingle with guys she isn't that interested in. But in the end she realizes partying with people who aren't her friends is lonely. She goes home to her apartment and begins to paint. Flashbacks shows she did this as a child. She suddenly feels happy and beautiful.

Mullane's song has a strong message - being true to yourself is more important than anything else. It makes you happy and we were all born beautiful to be happy.

MusicDishTV Review: SCARHOP Official Music Video "EXGF"

Mixing rap, Latin and dub step into one song, Scarhop creates a unique sound with the music video "EXGF," directed by Sergio Iznaola. Possibly groundbreaking, Scarhop raps about how to get over ex girlfriends, ex boyfriends or just ex lives.

He appears to be angry throughout the song at all the exs in his life. But also determined to overcome the bad experiences and find something better and new.

As intended the song really amps up its listeners to want to fight for a good life and good relationships.

The video clip is modern, cool and hip. Scarhop is seen dancing with pretty girls, trying to have fun and enjoy his night as he forgets his ex. This song is also one that could be played in a happening hip hop club.

MusicDishTV Review: Brian Mackey Music Video "Honest Love"

Brian Mackey has a truly beautiful song in "Honest Love." Catchy, lyrical and touching, "Honest Love" tells of how hard it is to come by great, true love. However, although it is hard and rare to find, it is worth it. More worth it than small dalliances and small, fleeting affairs.

His music video is also very well done. For most of the song it is just Brian and his guitar, pouring out his emotions while strumming away. However, it also shows people from all walks of life who believe in honest love. They are poor, rich, different nationalities, homeless and successful. This contrasts to Brian's slightly cynical view of honest love.

It seems that Brian really wants to believe in honest love and as he explains, has attempted many times to try and hold onto true love. However, because of his bad experiences with love he struggles to understand when he will next find it and for how long. The people in the background of his music video clip create a more happy feelings and are more hopeful.

Perhaps this is the moral of the song and music video- no matter how difficult honest loves is you will ever find honest love without remaining just a little bit hopeful.

New Song and Video By Makana - "Fire Is Ours" - Takes the 'Bern' to the Next Level

Ever since we humans first learned how to express ourselves in song, we've used our voices and instruments to communicate with others how we feel about the state of our world. For Hawaiian singer-songwriter and musician Makana-called "a dynamic voice" by the New York Times and "the greatest living player of slack key guitar music" by Esquire magazine-among its many functions music should "give voice to viewpoints that corporate media largely attempts to ignore and even silence." With that in mind Makana has written and recorded "Fire Is Ours," a new song and video that he hopes will serve as something of an unofficial anthem for the presidential candidacy of U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders.

"Bernie has the ideas, values, integrity and drive to lead a people's movement that creates our best future. Let's make that spark our fire," Makana says. "Before anything, he's a humanitarian. He lifts people; he humanizes them; he cares. He wants to level the playing field and we need that."

In "Fire Is Ours," written entirely by Makana and produced by Rubi Reeves and Satch Romero, the artist sings, "The love of power is a puppet string/But can't control the love we bring/The fire is ours/The hour is now/The tide is set to turn/And I feel the burn/To cast aside the chains/And salvage what remains/Of a dream worth defending."

Makana recently spoke about the song and video on Hawaii News Now:
(http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/clip/12209188/makana-gets-national-attention-for-pro-sanders-ballad?autostart=true)

and the generally Sanders-averse Fox News:
http://video.foxnews.com/v/4757946102001

"I was inspired to write 'Fire Is Ours' as a response to mainstream media's attempt to distract voters from issues of real importance," Makana explains. "The music video" - which can be viewed at www.fireisours.com -"is bookended by a scene in a voting booth, something everyone in American relate to. The entire story takes place in the voter's imagination, that timeless moment when we look at the ballot and review our options."

Although "Fire Is Ours" was written specifically with Bernie Sanders' run for the White House in mind, Makana is quick to point out that there is also a larger significance embedded within, that the song could be applied easily to any agent of change whose concern is the greater good. "Fire Is Ours" speaks to freedom of speech, artistic expression and who we are and want to become as a people.

"Thomas Mapfumo, the famous Zimbabwean musician, talked about the responsibility we as artists have to sing about what is happening in the lives of people," says Makana. "I agree. It's not about politics, but rather, relevance. Very few artists are singing about that thing, I wonder why. I see a void, I see a responsibility, and I act by creating art."

The "Fire Is Ours" video was directed, shot and edited by Zac Heileson. Says Makana, "The two of us found a used piano in the classifieds that some guy was trying to give away, borrowed Zac's dad's truck and spent an hour struggling to lift the 700-pound beast into the truck bed. Then we drove out to a campsite and filmed in icy, snowing conditions. I was freezing until we lit the piano, then I was cooking! We only had a brief eight minutes or so before the smoke and flames completely engulfed the piano so we had to move fast. Luckily we got what we needed on the first take. I'll never forget that day. We didn't have any crew but somehow we managed to pull it off."

Makana has spent his entire career challenging himself and the various boxes into which music is often placed. On such acclaimed albums as Different Game (2006), Ripe (2013) and 25 (2014), he has fused indigenous Hawaiian slack key guitar virtuosity with elements of rock, folk, bluegrass, jazz and blues - all within poignant, original message songs - to create a brand new genre of music. His fans include musicians within all genres, among them guitar great Joe Satriani, who calls Makana "absolutely amazing," and Metallica's Kirk Hammett.

Makana's name, in Hawaiian, means "a gift given freely." That description can just as easily apply to "Fire Is Ours," a song that so perfectly illustrates the passion and poignancy behind the burgeoning movement to free the American political system and corporate media from its chains and point us toward that "best future" we so desperately need.

MusicDishTV Review: Dangerous Rob MV "WOW"

Dangerous Rob's new video, "WOW", really is the definition of wow. Truly showing off the hip hop club and lifestyle scene, Dangerous Rob wows us with his rapping skills and modern video clip. Shot in many different locations, including Tulsa, Dallas, Arlington and LA, Dangerous Rob shows that no matter where you are a rapper and hip hop lover will also live life in the fast lane.

Showing many clips inside a hip hop club Dangerous Rob shows viewers exactly what a live performance with him means- lots of dancing, lots of drinks, lots of girls and lots of edge.

He also takes a comedic approach by playing the part of great industry moguls, wearing big sunglasses, baggy gangster clothing and lots of bling. Again showing how the hip hop lifestyle really is WOW!

Overall, Dangerous Rob shows his listener that it is up to ones self to make your life WOW! Go out and do exciting things, see exciting shows and be around exciting thing. Dangerous Rob is dangerous and out there rapper but with a fun and playful twist.

MusicDishTV Review: "The Human Element" by Robert Kramer

Robert Kramer's music video "The Human Element" is a beautiful example of giving human spirit we should all have inside us. Showing the human elements of love, happiness, generosity and strength, Kramer tries to heal his listeners of the great tragedies the world has faced of late, including the Paris attacks.

His lyrics and melody are triumphant and up lifting suggesting to listeners to use the good in our human elements not the bad. He says that his song and music video is a 'musical vaccine to heal heart and minds."

Through close up photos of people of all different races, ages, cultures and communities, his video exposes a global community that has been unfortunately torn apart by violence. The faces and eyes he closes in on can be interpreted as the endless victims of this violence or the further generations left to deal with this hate.

Although a small video, Kramer is doing great good for the music community and the world. It is a bold statement and it would be joyous if the song could turn into a ballad of showing human kindness.

He says we create the 'human element' when we work together and actively reach out to one another. The photos of happy communities and the mixing of dark and light shades in other images shows this.

We should all take some of Kramer's wisdom and start working on the human element he signs of and visually shows in this lovely and powerful video.

The group has a unique blend with the 3 guys and Manal the lady member. Manal can handle her own very well among the guys. I enjoyed the freedom a producer has when working with an independent label like Money Tree Entertainment. There are no confines to their creative processes.

Musician Composes AudioVisual "World Peace Vaccine"

Veteran musician,composer & recording artist Robert Kramer, inspired by the recent tragic events in Paris & the U.S., has released a single and music video titled "The Human Element", planned for worldwide debut this Christmas.

Creating what he terms "a musical vaccine to heal hearts and minds", the video echoes the emotions and sentiment, exposing a global community torn apart by useless violence, showing the faces and the eyes in a parade of endless victims.

In addition, embedded in the images and the sounds of the music video are positive subliminal affirmations and healing tones deliberately put into the soundtrack to "speak directly to the subconsciousness of an entire world".

"I wanted to create an audio-visual message that will reach everyone..." says Kramer. "We've been exposed to so much evil and negativity that we lose perspective...we begin to accept it as a part of our lives, and in doing so, we feel helpless to do anything about it.

It's no longer useful to just talk about world peace. It becomes a "meme", a catch phrase...something that sounds good, but has no action connected with it. It's time for us as a world community to take action. WE create "The Human Element" when we act together and actively reach out to each other. Thats exactly the purpose of this song."

In addition to the melody and lyrics, specific combinations of notes and ultra low frequency tones & healing vibrations at specific megahertz are embedded within the song itself below the range of human hearing using "subliminal masking".

Kramer claims society has been subliminally programmed for decades by advertisements, sales pitches and politics. Research indicates the use and manipulation of sound and visual imagery is a key element to strategically re-programming the conscious mind.

Stating submliminal techniques have been abused in the past, he offers that "applied correctly, sound and vibrations can have a positive impact on the subconscious. Maybe its time to reverse some of the negative trend by infusing more positive suggestions back into our audiovisual experience. The world could certainly use a vaccine like that.."

The song, which will appear on a special 5 song EP scheduled for global release on Dec 25th, will debut simultaneously with the music video.

MusicDishTV Review: The Baghdaddios "Christmas Ain't For Lonely People"

The Baghdaddios' "Christmas@CBGBs" is a fun, cool and upbeat song with an even more bold and eye catching video!

The cartoon version of band members, Kenn, Paul, Tom and Jim, throughout the video makes the video an instant classic. It almost makes the video look like a holiday special of an old school cartoon show. This only adds to their fun and very playful Christmas vibe.

The cartoon video does a great job of allowing the viewer to follow along with the words of the song.

The clip and its cartoon characters suit punk rock to a tee. It really makes you think of how fun celebrating at the CBGB would be.

The video does show a humorous take on celebrating Christmas however for punk rock fans this will resonate perfectly.

Now let's go celebrate at the CBGB!

Jake Clayton's "What Not To Do" Video Premieres On The Heartland Network

Jake Clayton's new music video, "What Not To Do," premieres tomorrow, Friday, December 11 on The Heartland Network at 11 p.m. Central. The clip and its companion "behind-the-scenes" video will air multiple times over the next week; check local listings for broadcast times. "It's a song that tells the stories of three separate people, their actions and the resulting consequences," explains the talented artist and multi-instrumentalist. "We wanted a gritty video - and we got it." Clayton co-produced the clip with Rob Daniels for Please & Thank You Motion Pictures; Dylan White directed.

Taped in 115-degree heat, viewers are immediately drawn in with a sense of urgency, punctuated by blistering fiddle work, dynamic guitars and heart-pounding drums. While the video is a warning about straying from a virtuous path, and is based upon real crimes, it is related in a "by example" fashion and not in a "doom-and-gloom" way. There is nothing "preachy" about Jake's high-energy performance or ear-splitting grin, and both lighten the mood considerably. Split between performance footage shot in an abandoned barn just outside of Nashville, Tennessee and entertaining re-enactments taped in Chesapeake and Portsmouth, Virginia, the video definitely matches the single in intensity.

The radio-active track, a searing up-tempo, was released to Country radio in September. Music News Atlanta states "Clayton is in a league of his own when matched against most of the current young Country artists," and describes "What Not To Do" as a "powerful and honest song in the mold of how they used to make 'em." The tastemaker adds "Jake's on-the-money tenor... (is) definitely from deep Country roots and his delivery is filled with an energy that the genre hasn't seen in a while." The track is from Jake's current CD, BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON, for Rebel Engine Entertainment.

Jake and his band have opened for Charlie Daniels, Jon Pardi and Jerrod Niemann. He recorded and produced the theme song for The Sportsman Channel's Legacy Trails TV show and, as a musician, he has entertained crowds at Madison Square Garden, the Grand Ole Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame.

ABOUT JAKE CLAYTON
Clayton's childhood in rural Mexico, Missouri was filled with the music his parents made, and he followed their path to the spotlights at the age of 13. Gifted with his late grandfather's fiddle, Jake immediately began blazing his own musical trail; fronting his own shows at 17, and hiring on as a fiddle player with The Oak Ridge Boys at the age of 19. He moved to Music City at the age of 20 and there, his highly-recognizable tenor - and ability to play over 20 instruments - quickly came to the notice of A-list players and a new generation of Country stars. Influenced by Garth Brooks, The Eagles and The Dixie Chicks, Jake also began honing his songwriting skills, inspired by writers like Tom T. Hall, Kacey Musgraves and Bob DiPiero. Jake's instrumental CD release, BARNYARD STOMP, is filled with his own compositions. He's been a valued utility player in live bands of Tanya Tucker, Sunny Sweeney, Jimmy Wayne, Jamie O'Neal and The Oak Ridge Boys and can be heard on Thompson Square's #1, "If I Didn't Have You" and on Sunny Sweeney's critically-acclaimed album, PROVOKED. A fan of National Public Radio, Jake enjoys studying geology, ancient history, and cooking.
