RAW

NEW YORK– From the mind of promoter Jeannel Garcia comes the indie podcast, Resonating Awareness Worldwide (R.A.W.), an outlet aiming to raise audience awareness of all forms of underground acts.
The show, hosted by Garcia and session musician Matt Pana, features artists of all genres, ranging from acoustic to hip hop to rock and roll to spoken word poetry. R.A.W. starts off with R.A.W.  A.C.Ts (Artists Coming Together), a unique interview segment in which featured artists collaborate on a song and ask each other questions before moving on to R.A.W.  Sessions, a segment featuring original performances by these underground artists. R.A.W.’s agenda also includes Matt Pana’s Next Big Thing, featuring up and coming local artists, as they sit down with Pana for an interview and performance.

Greenlight Girl by Chelsea E – The Poptimes Magazine Review

Chelsea E

GREENLIGHT Girl is a pop record by a California-based Filipina-American artist named Chelsea E.
Chelsea herself wrote nine of the 16 songs in this album. The others songs were penned by Chelsea’s collaborators and producers.
The album sounds like a trip to the 1990’s–A throwback record.

It evokes sounds of an earlier era governed by names like TLC, Janet Jackson, C.C. Penniston and Paula Abdul.
The songs have all the parts of a template 90’s pop songs: Drum machine, orchestral synth hits, and synthetic sounding distorted guitars (think Janet’s Rhythm Nation)

 There are 16 tracks in the album, but one of my favorites is Dozen Roses .

Rico
FORMER Rivermaya front man Rico Blanco officially returned to the music world via his latest single “Yugto.”
The single is off his upcoming debut solo album that is scheduled to be released this month under Warner Music Philippines.

Blanco, left Rivermaya a year ago and went on a year-long break that saw him vacationing in Europe and the United States. He vowed then to pursue other artistic endeavors other than music. Now, it seems that he cannot leave his roots just yet.

And true to his single’s title, this is indeed a new chapter in the life of Rico Blanco.
