Pop/Jazz/Vocal/Chillout | MP3 | VBR 192 kbps | 00:42:47 | 51 MB

Soft-voiced pop vocalist Kelly Sweet was born into a creative and musical family. In their home in Cape Cod, MA, she was raised by her father, a jazz pianist, and her artist mother. Learning to play notes on the piano before she could walk, Sweet sang live for an audience for the first time at age four at the Cape Cod Conservatory. Not your typical pop record in any way, shape or form, WE ARE ONE has a much more ambitious sensibility than those being heard on Top 40 radio today. With songs sung in English, Italian, French, and Sanskrit, and melodies that partake of both jazz and classical influences, WE ARE ONE conveys a sense of depth, intimacy and sophistication not often heard in today's pop landscape.

Existence is the fifth studio from Italian jazz-funk supergroup, CAMERA SOUL! Camera Soul is an original jazz / soul / funk project created by Lombardo Bros Productions. The band realized 5 albums that received an amazing international response. The last album “Existence” is an explosion of emotions and conquers again all the achievements of the previous albums but now the attention of the world on Camera Soul is definitive and the continuous requests for interviews prove it (the Tour of radio interviews recently of Maria Enrica in London), the continuous request for participation in concerts but above all the interest of international record companies and the appreciation and interest of the experts.

Joni Mitchell: Woman of Heart and Mind is an outstanding DVD of the Canadian folk singer who discovered life in art, and kept on dreaming of better times. Producers Susan Levy and Stephanie Bennett leave room for us to make our own sense of Mitchell’s narrative. Through a highly creative blend of concert footage, paintings and retrospect, viewers cannot help but be arrested into self-assessment. “It’s hard peeling the layers off your own onion,” says Mitchell. That is exactly what this documentary does: undress popular perceptions with multiple grains of truth.
