“I AM” The latest single from the camp of Ghana’s sultry-singing breakout artiste BrianKing is officially out.

The message is simple and clear yet buried in deep vocal tones that align with the slow-paced Saucedupbeats instrumentals. Opening with the repetitive hum “money, money, money…” the song’s lyrics reflect a non-conformist mentality.

BrianKing’s gravelly-sounding baritone voice accentuates the theme. On “I AM”, the singer is simply saying that he is HIM! Delivering a strong message of self-awareness, resiliency, and the search for a meaningful existence, the budding singer pushes himself on a sound that’s unlike his last release “Mood.”

While the allusion to “the awakened” signifies a call to consciousness and awareness of one’s surroundings, the repeated phrase “good times are upon us” conveys a sense of optimism and hope.

He desires independence and achievement, which is reflected in the lines about wanting to be a “rasta” and earning money, but they also go against social norms and judgments, as evidenced by the remarks about smoking and “wicked people.”

“I AM” is the perfect anthem for eccentric folks, the “rastas” who like to light up a roll or two on a sunny beach and everyone trying so hard to not break away from society’s box.

Overall, the song conveys a combination of spiritual awakening, personal struggle, and the will to overcome obstacles while being true to one’s principles and origins. It is a ditty of empowerment and self-discovery.

BrianKing is on a positive trajectory with back-to-back releases under his name already this year, and nothing is stopping him yet as he looks to release a seven-song extended play (EP) titled “Dominion” – scheduled for official release on November 20, 2024.

“I AM” was fine-tuned by Webzy and is finally available on all digital streaming platforms.

Billboard-charting composer, pianist, and vocalist Pauline Frechette releases her new single, “The Wonder of Stars,” featuring legendary bassist Stanley Clarke. Taken from her latest album, At the Edge of Everything, the song is a personal reflection on the beauty of the universe, the search for direction, and the quiet strength that comes from looking beyond everyday worries.

Living in Ojai, California, surrounded by mountains and natural beauty, Pauline finds inspiration in one of her favorite nighttime activities: stargazing with her husband. For her, looking up at the stars is more than simply admiring the night sky. It is a way to find peace, regain perspective, and reconnect with her sense of purpose.

“When I am tired or anxious about something, star gazing relaxes me. I feel strong and sure of the path I must follow,” Pauline explains. Inspired by the explorers who once relied on the stars for courage and direction, she sees the night sky as a reminder that there is always a way forward, even when life presents obstacles.

That feeling became the foundation for “The Wonder of Stars.” Pauline began composing the music while singing, allowing the lyrics to emerge naturally from the emotions and story already expressed through the melody. She considers the song one of her finest compositions.

Featuring the unmistakable musicianship of Stanley Clarke, “The Wonder of Stars” brings together Pauline’s distinctive approach to composition and performance with the artistry of one of music’s most celebrated bassists.

Pauline Frechette has built an impressive career as a composer, pianist, and vocalist. Her compositions have been performed by renowned orchestras, including the Baltimore Symphony, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, New West Symphony, Cincinnati Symphony, and National Symphony at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Her work has also been presented at Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Beyond the concert stage, Pauline has contributed her voice to major film scores and performed alongside some of the biggest names in music, including Paul McCartney, Beck, Cher, Willie Nelson, Neil Diamond, Muse, and Leonard Cohen.

Her current album, At the Edge of Everything, features Stanley Clarke and showcases her ability to move naturally between jazz, neo-classical instrumentals, and expressive vocal compositions. Her music has accumulated more than 30 million streams worldwide.

Through her music and performances, Pauline brings together technical excellence, emotional honesty, and a deep sense of vulnerability. With “The Wonder of Stars,” she offers listeners a reminder to pause, look beyond their immediate surroundings, and find inspiration in the world above them.
