Adna - Night



What a beautiful voice to discover this morning.

I discovered Adna through Music Robot, a new website that puts together tracks derived from a collection of music blogs.

Adna is just 19 years old and released her first album "Night" in February. Her album reflects the silent soundscapes and atmosphere of being alone in the night beautifully.

Artist Spotlight - Ben Myers



Ben Myers is a singer/songwriter from Lawrence, Kansas. On his twitter page, he describes his music this way: "If a 60s folk/pop songwriter started listening to 80s alt rock". I think this describes his musical style with great accuracy! Ben has been releasing albums since 2006. His newest album was released in March 2014, and is titled "Daylight Moon". You can buy Daylight Moon through the iTunes App Store, Amazon, or through his Bandcamp. His music can be described as dreamy, ethereal, and beautiful. It reflects on the different aspects of life, love, and frustration.

Here's what people are saying about his music:

“There is something about the melodies he writes that makes you think of Elliott Smith. “Daylight Moon” is a very enjoyable album. Fans of Elliott Smith, Neil Young and Elvis Costello should enjoy his music.” – The Equal Ground, Indie Music Blog
“Ben’s original sound envelops the pop sensibilities of the Beatles with the grit of the Velvet Underground.” – Stephen T. Johnson, Author/Artist
“Ben’s an incredible musician with a sincere, original sound” – William Justice, Author
“’We’ll Never Know’ couldn’t be better. It is simple, real, loving, and philosophical all at the same time. It speaks to the modern day view of relationships.” - Charles Myers, Entrepreneur
