A brand new mixtape from Boston-bases singer-songwriter Joy was certainly not what I was expecting on a dreary Tuesday afternoon in New York City. This time last year, Joy released her follow up release, Electric Soul Music. It was not the follow up to 2006’s fresh and unapologetically catchy debut, Set Free, that I was […]

Introducing: Zak Waters (@zakwatersmusic)
INFECTIOUS is the only way I can describe the track, “Heartbreak”, when I received it in an email from singer-songwriter Zak Waters. Influences from artists like Jamiroquai, Justice and Daft Punk and are evident with embellished displays of vocal prowess like the late MJ himself.
