Jencarlos Canela sings of being "Irreparable"

 

 Jencarlos Canela - is the 25 year-old Cuban-American heart throb who is an actor/singer has a brand new single entitled; "Irreparable." Jencarlos is not one of those actors who "thinks" they can peddle out a cute track and get their fan base to go running to buy though is a very talented singer. This single is the first for his third album under the Universal Record Label.

This time around Jencarlos is yet again surrounding himself with very talented individuals in the musical industry such as Canela who wrote the new single. Canela in the past has worked with other hot singers such as Jennifer Lopez, Nelly Furtado, Ricky Martin, and Alejandro Fernandez (just to name a few).

Take a listen to this Latin singer who if he has not got your attention as of yet will do so now. I am really enjoying Jencarlos along with the music he chooses and lastly the quality.

Ben Montague sings "The Truth!"

Ben Montague - is a singer/songwriter who comes from Farnborough, Kent in the United Kingdom. This talented singer is one of my favorites singers coming from the U.K. as of this moment who has such a fantastic voice and writing technique. My introduction to this artist was from his first full length album entitled; "Overcome" in 2010. This album had Ben's own material which saw his first major hit "Haunted" that was accompanied by an equally well done music video. Ever since that first album I have been hooked on Ben's music and eagerly awaiting his touring to head over to the states (hopefully very soon!).

Since 2010, Ben has toured with the likes of The Wanted, Lawson, Stereophonics and others. "Unknown Reward" (EP/2012) was released which then led to the 2nd full length album

released entitled; "Tales Of Flying And Falling" (2013). This album such as his first was awarded the BBC Radio 2 "Album of The Week." 2013, was a very busy year which brought noteowrothy appearances with his own headlining tour, appearing in Isle of Wight and supporting Amy Mcdonald on her sold-out UK tour.

2014, is now proving to be another incredible year for Ben where he has a new EP released entitled; "The Truth" which was funded by a hugely successful kickstarter campaign. The same month as the new EP, Ben goes on tour with artist Shane Filan on the 'You & Me" tour which will see the acts all over the UK and Ireland. No other country's as of this time have been announced but I am keeping my fingers crossed that Ben heads over to do some great venues like perhaps "House of Blues" etc here in the good 'ol USA.

1) The Truth
2) Feels Like Forever (EP version)

Audra McDonald wants to "Go Back Home"

Audra McDonald - The five-time Tony Award-winning actress sets out for a new musical journey with her new album entitled; "Go Back Home." This album is Audra's first album released since her last in 2006 entitled; "Build A Bridge." Audra's new album is never a disappointment from start to finish.

As of recent, Audra has had hugely successful venues in acting where many people will remember her for the "The Sound Of Music Live" where she shown audiences once again she is a force to be reckoned with in both the acting and vocals where she can outshine and truly pour her heart into all

roles and songs sung. Moreover as of recent Audra has received her 5th Tony in "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess" in 2011.

"Go Back Home" boasts some lovely tunes with it's opener being "The Scottsboro Boys" from Kander & Ebb. From there Audra delivers; "The Glamorous Life" from the Stephen Sondheim theatrical production of "A Little Night Music." "Baltimore" is another tune that is covered on the album which brings a much needed lighter feel then the much more dramatic stories of the prior tracks. One of the best tracks on this entire album that I adore is "I'll Be Here" from Ordinary Days which is so heart felt and awakens you with the powerful message. Lastly, another lovely look at love in a lighter view is "Married Love" which is from the Michael John LaChuisa's musical Marlene Dietrich's ABC. It is an actual musical from a book written by Marlene Dietrich and her view of all things related to love.

For any Audra McDonald fan you will love this album and the musical genius she truly is for selecting such artfully enriched songs and doing each justice. This year Audra is also touring and she is one class act worth seeing:
