New Single by Ana Luisa Ramos

Céu Azul (Blue Sky)

English translation (Google translate):

Blue sky lied about a summer that didn't come. Blue sky departed so winter hugged me. Wind comes and goes and blows leaves in the garden. The flower I blow will come to you thinking of me.

Happy Release Day, Ana Luísa Ramos!

"Céu Azul" is a mid-tempo, Brazilian Bossa Nova love song about the passage of time. Involving themes of the four seasons, "Céu Azul" eloquently connects nature to our experiences in life - both happy and sad. The warmth of the simple, delicate melody of the song is comforting and peaceful, and Ana hopes to have listeners find the traditional Brazilian rhythm to be easy to listen to and relaxing.

Though Ana has been a vocalist for the majority of her life, song-writing is a new endeavour for the artist. As she hones her new song-writing skills, Ana is learning that she has no particular method of creating her songs and bringing them to life. Inspired by walks in nature, travel, and live performances, and playing on an instrument, for the very first time Ana's beautiful voice and independently written lyrics and music are coming together to create her very own sound.

Congratulations, Ana!

Rosemary Lawton's new album of original music, 'Canvas'

“Canvas” marks Lawton’s departure from the Traditional/Celtic scene, and firmly plants her in the folk/pop world with elements of her traditional roots throughout. Having written her own music privately for years, Lawton decided it was finally time to release her own original songs and looked to the music she enjoys most as she crafted her sound. With degrees in both music education and violin, Lawton approached what she considered to be her blank musical slate, or “Canvas”, with melodies and ideas collected from a lifetime in music. “I have always been known as Rosemary the fiddle player, and not Rosemary the songwriter”, Lawton recounted. Following her three traditional albums. Rosemary Lawton’s first ever original album release deals with topics ranging from empowerment and mental health, to love and the importance of staying in the present.

Clare Follett... what I have been up to ...

When the first COVID shutdown happened, I was gigging regularly as a side musician and nearing the end of my first year of university, and all of a sudden all of my classes and gigs were cancelled! It was super surreal, but it allowed me to rediscover the joy I felt as a solo artist. I had taken a hiatus from my solo work for a few years but continued writing. I figured there was no better time to finally make and release the album than this summer! I have been in university full time this year, while trying to promote the album at the same time, so things have been busy. But I’m almost at the end of the term now, so I’ll be focusing a lot more on music over the next few months
