Own your power and step into your greatness | SuperNova Sessions Podcast

Just the other day this blog was buzzing at the news of ULISES’s latest album “6”.
Remember that?

Well, I told you there was a certain SuperNova’esque about him.
But I won’t spoil it for you.

Here’s my latest SuperNovaSessions Podcast.

 

Rock your world. ‘Nova style.

Hi SuperNovas!

I know I’ve been extra hush-hush these last couple days … but I promise to have really profound, meaningful reasons for it. (Not that I am making any excuses here …. or am I?)

Let’s just say that there are some surprises in store that are utterly lovable. However, they’re still very top hush-hush, so till then I thought I’d share another kind of illumination with you.

 

Stepping out of the world of fashionistas and international runways in the heart of Cape Town, I got home to a little surprise on my desk via NYC. Talk about perfect timing! And with an album art like this, and all the spiritual and metaphysical undertones whose real name happens to be Ulises, you bet that it got my attention. The cards had spoken; this name was set for something legendary.

Think about this. Take a dollop of Timberland, simmer in some Ricky Martin, season it with symbols of Prince and add a splash of Lady Gaga. Then fuse in some ancient tribal vibes of lands long forgotten and you have 6 – The Album! (with 6 fresh tracks!)

According to Pink Panther he came “to rock this world, and love is the message” However his mission is a little deeper than that. According to his bio the mission to create sonic tones & harmonies that awakens and activates the theater of the mind. Given everything I’ve seen and heard to date, I concur.

Dare I say there may even be a certain SuperNovaness about this daring, crafting, authentic, magnetic, and interestingly branded fusion (but that’s a story for another time). “After recognizing faults in the entertainment industry and understanding where it falls short allows me to deliver precisely what it lacks. Every single song on this 6 track EP was written with radio in mind with each song packing the production power, lyrical content, and musical punch to deliver a hit in today’s music industry.” he says.

So why I am telling you about some album?

Well apart from the fact that it’s totally buyable and likable …. This guy knows how to live his story. So watch this space for a deeper look at the art of legend making. It’s a must know for every SuperNova.

Ulises has found his element and clearly owns it. Stand out tracks (harder to name than you think) include: Love Frontier (International Hit waiting to explode! Movable, fashionable and utterly grooveable on instant replay. Can’t wait to see the music video); Cresendo (nice-and-easy, smooth, lovable, ponderable, travelable and loungable mood-shaped tunes); and the infectious Pink Panther (Very Gaga’licious. Ohhh!)

In short. Buyable. Meaning what are you waiting for?

Get it via itunes here. and don’t forget to watch this space.

 

 

Born Free : Reborn with Grant Owen

Unwrapping Into Sunlight (the first track off of the album entitled REBORN) on the longest day of summer, as the sun dips on the horizon of his homeland South Africa … I couldn’t help thinking this feels like a sound track in the making.

Hailing from L.A. by way of South Africa, Grant Owen is an eclectic singer / songwriter who seamlessly bridges the gaps between different genres.

It’s filled with melodic riffs that trickle into your ear and fill the empty space of your room,
while inspiring your foot to come to life with a gentle thud.

Often when you pick up an album for the first time you hip hop your way around it, where the music either has to catch up with you, or it takes your breath away. I haven’t pressed fast forward yet, and I am already half way through this trip.

What I’m loving that there is such an attention to musicality. Orchestrated rich, epic, road trips tripping between rockabilly landscapes, indie skies, classical structures,bygone thrills, folksy towns,and the smoothest of hippest of transitions.It cuts through all the chaos and noise and settles right under your skin.

NICE. Very Nice. The stuff tours are made of!
