on

The multi-faceted music artist Ava Delaney first took the stage at four years old or a local production of The Sound of Music, playing Liesel, and practically didn’t ever leave. She claims that her mother implies she leaped out of the womb, singing Joni Mitchell and Norah Jones. She attributes her musical proclivities to the whirling sounds of sage lyrical ladies who fostered her musical propensity. She recently relocated to New York City to follow her musical theatre and music ambitions after earning her degree from The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.

Her latest offering, everything, is an imaginative and expansive collection of songs. The 11-track record was recorded in 2022 with producer Brian Kennedy (Rihanna, Kelly Clarkson, Rascal Flats, The Weekend) at his home studio in Van Nuys.

Ava Delaney went on a journey of emotional, artistic, and spiritual discovery, and she placed a great deal of importance on establishing a serene, potent studio atmosphere when creating this album. She kept a copy of “Be Here Now” and her deck of spirit animal oracle cards close at hand, and she burned Inscesnce every day.

With every release, she reveals the sincerity and sensitivity found in her songs, driven by her creative exploration of new sounds and desire to establish a stronger connection with her audience.

everything, is an empowering storytelling offering while transporting listeners into a realm of engaging soundscapes. This collection of tracks in particular seems to embody her essence as a musician and artist—yet another superb effort. She is dedicated to making music that resonates deeply with audiences as she progresses in the music industry.

On the release, Ava Delaney comments, “‘everything’ was a journey of fully investigating and giving a voice to all the swimming, yearning, curious parts within me. It’s titled ‘everything’ because the deeper I go, the more infinite words there are to discover within. This album is a quest to find an oar, a spiritual center, an anchor, within the wild whirling tides of the sea of life.”

Ghanaian-born American Producer ArrowSpice debuts as an artiste with ‘Commando’

Published

on

Ghanaian-born American record producer ArrowSpice makes a grand transition from the production desk to the booth as he officially announces the release of his debut song “Commando” as an artiste. Listen Here.

“Commando” sees the producer cum artiste, experiment on a self-produced alternative African record which started as an intentional piecing of different instruments and psychedelic sounds.

He wows with his well-known production adroitness, and matches it with an even more impressive vocal performance for a debut song.

Created with the notion of pioneering a change in soundscape and heavily influenced by alternative African melodies, “Commando,” is the end-product of ArrowSpice’s long-standing production experience and an almost botched up attempt that turned out to be a vibe.

Casually playing around with words and melodies birthed a record so euphonious that it towers above the song’s strong lyrics. Inspired by an innate desire to assert dominance over a significant other, ArrowSpices uses the song’s title to drum home the message of control and protection for a loved one.

On “Commando,” his free-flowing thoughts come to the foreground, with the entire record mainly freestyled as he attempts to liberate listeners from bottling their true desires and feelings.

This debut record provides an early look into what to expect from ArrowSpice as an artiste.

He’s daring and champions the spirit of freedom both in his production and lyrics, in a bold attempt to take over the music arena.
“Commando” is currently available worldwide on all digital streaming platforms.
