Check out 'Burrito Bob', from our new release JW2319 - 'Southern Soul Stew'. Linked in bio!! 🐢

The feel of ‘Burrito Bob’ is slinky and cool, reminiscent of old American gameshows, while ‘Macho Nachos’ falls into a strutting colour that is infectious and irresistible. Find darker moments on the slower paced ‘Pecan Pie’ and listen out for stellar drumming throughout this American funk and soul masterclass.

Highlighting the musical heritage of the Southern

Highlighting the musical heritage of the Southern States of the U.S of A with present horn arrangements and funky guitars, the entire track-list is dripping with swagger and positive vibes.

We love the album art for this project, created by Rebecca at Departed Company @departedcompany. Rebecca specialises in blackwork and linework, inspired by nature and the world around her.

🎵 JW2317 - A Flow Of Emotions 🎵

Welcome Piano Duets. Dramatic. Flowing. Passionate. Emotional.

Written by talented Royal College Of Music alumni, Matthew Thurtell, and Vincenzo Bellomo, we knew this album would be nothing less than spectacular.💥

This album is STUNNING.

In an industry where there are solo piano albums aplenty, we wanted to release something just as beautiful, but more dynamic with piano duets.

🎨 We think the artwork compliments the sound of the album perfectly. We are passionate about using artists for our artwork, and supporting local talent where we can. This one is by Hertfordshire based painter @williambutcher_painter

A collaboration of immense talent, JW2316 Afro Bea

A collaboration of immense talent, JW2316 Afro Beats was written by @charlielaffer, @odiweonbass & @mikelesirge.

They’ve been session musicians for big names like Quincy Jones, Bonobo, All Saints, to name a few, and last year, they co-wrote original music for Channel 4, as part of their Back To Black campaign.

We are super honoured to have this album in our repertoire!

🎵 JW2316 - Fela Funk

Ahh, this one is very exciting! JW2316 Afro Beats

Ahh, this one is very exciting!

JW2316 Afro Beats is a mixed album that celebrates traditional jazz and funk Afrobeat, and more modern afro beats.

Much like the cover art, the album begins with the very colourful sound of Afrobeat originating in the 1960’s with bold baritone and alto sax melodies, and later moves into more contemporary, laid-back R&B/Afro beat fusion.

Recognising the creative women we work with today

Recognising the creative women we work with today on International Women’s Day.

In an industry traditionally lacking in female talent, we want to ensure diversity and equality by encouraging and working with women of all ages and backgrounds.

We could not end this post without giving a shout out to all the phenomenal female composers who write for our catalogue, the female artists who have created album covers, the female editors who have used our music.

Thank you to each and every one of you. We love working with you! Not because you are female, but because you are BADASS!

Exciting, blossoming, spring, fantasy, new beginnings, nature, whimsical, magical.

We could go on. But we need not. Just listen, and start your Friday bright & happy [yes, we’re aware today’s weather in the UK does not reflect this!]

JW2313 Splendour is a beautiful collection of orchestral fantasy tracks; filmic in feel, warm in tone.

A collection of pizzicato, staccato, and sweeping strings, with gorgeous woodwind and percussion accompaniment. Bringing magic, beauty, and occasionally a little mischief into an edit.

🔈 Track: JW2309 - Frozen 🔈

We just love the energy this album gives off. It feels like the perfect combination of otherworldly, and human drama.

If you’re looking for something that triggers feelings of introspection, reflection, love, and all things human emotion, and has subtle elements leaning towards the sci-fi world, this is an album worth checking out.

JW2309 Elevate. An album of beautiful, ambient, atmospheric tracks, that convey a sense of deep emotion, whilst having elements of otherworldliness.

JW2308 Soul City Vibes

Cool, contemporary, guitar-led soul, psych funk and indie rock tracks, encapsulating that sunset in the city vibe. 🌆

Written & composed by @banksandwag , a talented duo well versed in composing for children’s TV [Go Jetters, Blue Peter, to name a few] and a plethora of other writing credits, we couldn’t think of a better pair to create this album for us.

🔈 Can Can - JW2307 Broken Toy Orchestra 🔈

The beauty of this album is it is zany, it’s bizarre, and it’s certainly not pristine. In fact, some might find it a little annoying.
But, it’s perfect for all things comedy and children’s TV, and as this video suggests, seems to work with that User Generated edit!

We’ve all heard the Bridal Chorus a billion time

We’ve all heard the Bridal Chorus a billion times. You know the one that pretty much every soap, reality show, every format in between uses for someone walking down the aisle. But have you ever heard that track performed on a kazoo? Didn’t think so.

JW2307 Broken Toy Orchestra. The title is a bit of a give away. This fun, and playful, album features quirky arrangements of well-known classical, Christmas tunes and national anthems.

🔈 Wrapper’s Delight - JW2306 December 🔈

Eek, the festive period is edging ever closer. We reckon it’s going to be extra special as Christmas was a no-go for loads of families last year.

Let’s celebrate in style with some non-traditional Christmas tracks that will bring any edit to life, and help spread the warmth and excitement that encompasses the festive period.

🔈 Rooftops - JW2306 December 🔈

If you’re after something that is festive in feel, but Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree’s a bit full on, look no further than JW2306 December.

Christmas isn’t all about the mad rush, and this album is the perfect soundtrack to highlight those tender, more reflective moments that happen around the festive period.

IT’S CHRISSSTTTMASSSS!!

No, we know it’s isn’t. We haven’t even had Halloween yet! But seeing as the Christmas music requests have been strolling through the [virtual] door, we thought what better timing to introduce, JW2306 December.

Moving away from traditional carols, December is Christmas-but-cool. Mellow garage rock with sleigh bells, the occasional little ditty Christmas track, and some really sweet acoustic numbers.

One final appreciation post for JW2305.

When you commission an album that you know has heap load of potential, that’s great. But when you commission an album that you know has potential, but is so multi-faceted, you have no real idea where that potential is going to land, THAT is EXCITING.

It’s filmic in feel, that’s for sure. But this one feels like an album that has no bounds!
