I've seen several indie homemade splitted videos, this one is one of the best, very talented and creative artist, refreshing natural live sound in a kitchen, next time I'll look at my salade spinner differently .

Good and sunny days coming back where I live, triggered me to post this song, enjoy your day!

Another new-found artist (s) from this thread ! Such a treat. Thanks @Karmacoma .

Love the percussive sound. That snare sounds so well. The vocals harmonize so comfortably. Really soulful sound.

When artists put their soul into it, and the sound they producing is recorded to be able to be reproduced the way musicians hears it when they played it, it's just lovely.


It kinda reminds me that so many recordings capture certain nuances, but sometimes I recall : that's not the sound I hear when I play the guitar, or when I hit the snare.

This album is my favorite. The particular guitar sounds throughout the album like I hear it when I play a guitar. In this video the fingers move along the fret is well-captured, and some reverb just added to make it blend with the piano sound. The emotional dynamics in every note is just refreshing.
(Their versions of Madonna's La Isla Bonita is thunderous and percussive as well)

[PS. Some "audiophile" recording often mentioned as reference, with solo live guitar playing, to me, yes, sounded like amplified acoustic instruments, clear and distinctive. Still, I prefer when a recording give a glimpse of how musical instruments interact with the room as it heard by artists when they rehearse the tune]

Enjoy

I hope the community for this thread will settle on a 'standard' for listing songs when they present a new song for review or submit a review. This will make it easier for finding the correct song version on their streaming service of preference. Links are great but I find full Youtube picture links distracting and clutter up the thread. This is just a suggestion. This thread is an elegant presentation of good music presented slowly to give us 'pause' to appreciated the music. The world throws too much noise and this is a chance to stop and 'listen' to the music. I look forward to listening to the complete thread song list and hope to review the next new song and find a favorite of mine to gift to you all.

This is a soothing piece with acoustic guitar and piano. There is some alternation of which instrument is taking the lead during the song, and there is nice interplay between the guitar and piano throughout. Performance and production is top notch. Thanks for sharing!

Ok, I'll also try to adhere to a more organized format, but the song I leave for review is a live performance from a film (though I'll leave links to the original album for reference). The song for review starts at 1:13 in the youtube clip provided. You can go there directly if you don't want to see the introduction.

Artist: Yussef Dayes
Title: Turquoise Galaxy (live)
Film: Yussef Dayes In Japan (2025)

Again, the song starts at 1:13.

The song was previously released on

Album: Black Classical Music (2023)
Listen: Spotify, Tidal

I've got nothing to offer song wise but really enjoyed the Yussef Dayes @Ibofobi, thanks for the introduction.
