When an outstanding musician, better yet a drummer, tells you to check out an artist trust they just dropped a musical gem on you! Super big shout out to Mathew Smith-Gentry for putting me up on Joanna Borromeo a jazzy R&B, Soul singer/songwriter, keyboardist from Calgary, Canada. I also have to mention she shares her love and passion for music through different workshops, which I just love. Okay, now back to the Music. It's always a promising sign when the first song grabs you and immediately makes you want to two-step and do that cute little dance groove move thingy....okay, well maybe that's just me...you know you are in-store for something special. The last couple of days I haven't been able to getaway from her "Through The Dark" debut EP. It is such a great collection of music. The musicality, her soulful vocal instrument and the album recording is so in your face and so sonically pleasing as well (being an engineer I ALWAYS pay attention to the recording and the mix). After checking Joanna Borromeo out a bit more her musical influences are Motown, Golden-Era Hip-Hop, Contemporary Gospel, 80's R&B/Funk and New Jack Swing. Hello can we say mad crazy awesomeness right there?!?! LOL haaaa. I just had a moment, but let me just say I felt all of those aforementioned musical elements throughout this project. Oh, and a bit of Rock on the record "Save My Soul". His some more good news she will be releasing her second album called, 'Kaleidoscope' February 2013! If you aren't excited yet you will be after you give Joanna Borromeo a listen. As always support the artists by purchasing their albums, following them on your favorite social network and hit up their shows when they are in a city near YOU. Here are a few of her links to get you going Twitter, Reverbnation, YouTube, Facebook and her website.
