Sofia Rei Releases New Album, 'Antónima'
Antónima is the forthcoming album from GRAMMY-nominated vocalist, composer, and producer Sofía Rei. Rooted in her Folk and Futurism aesthetic, the album bridges Latin American folk traditions with bold, forward-thinking production. As a follow-up to her acclaimed Umbral, it features trailblazing collaborators from across the Latin and diaspora music worlds, including Gaby Moreno, Daymé Arocena, Mireya Ramos, Xenia Rubinos, Las Áñez, and Argentine artists Mariana Baraj, Charo Bogarín, and Juana Luna. Blending alternative pop, jazz, electronic textures, and regional folk styles, Antónima explores themes of female empowerment, migration, solitude, political apathy, and the tensions of digital life. Supported by Chamber Music America, New Music USA, and NYFA, the album stands as both an artistic statement and a Pan-American feminist cultural manifesto.

Nth Power Releases New Single & Music Video, “Simple Life”
“Simple Life,” the new single from The Nth Power, featuring The Soul Rebels, is out now.
You may like this, and I may like that, but we both enjoy the simple pleasures in life, like a shack in the woods or a five-course Michelin-starred meal. This was a groove that Nate brought into Mike’s farmhouse studio sessions. Nikki and Nick‘s first official duet, Simple Life is a song about taking what’s yours and being proud of it. Inspired by the music of New Orleans, this song features the Soul Rebels. The basic groove came from blending a New Orleans-type clave beat and putting it in a different time signature.

Chris Morrissey Releases Latest Album ‘Infinite Source of Heat’
Infinite Source Of Heat is Chris Morrissey’s fourth full-length release for GroundUP Music and his eighth to date as a band leader. He is joined by longtime collaborators Marco Bolfelli on guitar, Bill Campbell on drums, Charlotte Greve on woodwinds, and Grammy-winning producer/engineer John Davis. Morrissey welcomes some formidable featured guests on Infinite Source Of Heat, including Norah Jones (on Hard To See), Mark Guiliana (on the title track Infinite Source Of Heat), and Aoife O’Donovan (on In The Crowd). Infinite Source Of Heat is eight new songs — written on guitars, pianos, and notebooks in spare rooms in Bed Stuy, empty dumbo offices, upstate front porches, and Euro-trains, then played and played on stage with a band. For the author, that process repeated is what the title describes.

Sofia Rei Releases New Single “Si Una Cae,” (feat. Mireya Ramos & Pedrito Martinez)
This song was inspired by Manuela Sáenz, the mistress of Simón Bolívar, who has been largely unrecognized for her pivotal role in South America’s fight for independence from Spain. Sofía chose her as a symbol of the many women who have been erased from history or denied the credit they deserve.

The Nth Power Releases New Single “Dream Alive”
The chorus says it all. I’m happy to be creating, learning, and riding with you. “Dream Alive” is a song about rolling with your crew – the chosen family we get to live life with. It’s a song about living the dream and being alive. The main chordal groove is a progression I came up with as an alternate bridge part for the Jackson 5 song ‘I Want You Back’ during my tenure in the Village Underground house band in New York. “Dream Alive” captures our raw, unapologetic musical approach through its driving rhythms and lyrical message. Everybody's musical contributions really shine through on this song.
