Stevie Hawkins "Diamonds In The Sky" - "Sweet Honey" Single Release Preview
This is an Emphasis Records promotional video for Atlanta’s award-winning Stevie Hawkins new two-song single release, 'Diamonds In The Sky' and 'Sweet Honey'. We give you a generous taste of the two songs in this video.
We have bundled the two songs (as in yesteryear A-Side/B-Side) for a download price of $0.99. Physical CDs are available for $1.49. The CD and two song download is only available at the following websites;
• Emphasis Records http://www.emphasisrecords.com
• Atlanta Music Group http://www.atlantamusicgroup.com
• Stevie Hawkins http://www.steviehawkins.com
'Diamonds In The Sky' is available as a single download on iTunes:
http://apple.co/1L7IZ03, Amazon http://amzn.to/1cTPqEP, and CD Baby http://bit.ly/1fn3ngs.
'Diamonds In The Sky' is a sensuous, romantic ballad that will transport you to a dimension of love and soothing relaxation either by yourself, or with that very special someone. This is sophisticated Soul/R&B with smooth jazz flavors at its very best.
The ballad captures Hawkins as a sensualist, who fluently phrases, caresses and delivers the lyrics from whispers to impassioned intensity. The song is tastefully seasoned with Fender Rhodes and atmospheric synthesizers by Grammy award-winning master of musical magic, the late George Duke. Interspersed throughout the track are sultry saxophone embellishments by Stephan Sechi, and a lilting chromatic harmonica solo by Ralph Rosen, reminiscent of Toots Thielemans or Stevie Wonder. The song glows with vibrancy, feels good, and you will want to listen on repeat.
'Sweet Honey' is a bluesy big band song, loaded with personality, and a sweet treat indeed, reminiscent in style of Ray Charles or Count Basie. The Stevie Hawkins Blue Shoes Orchestra, a 14 piece horn section and 3 piece rhythm section, constitutes this powerful and fun song as a testament to the range of Hawkins' vocals and music, and is a magnificent addition to this release.
Both songs were written and the basic tracks recorded in 2013 for Stevie's solo performance for the Los Angeles Music Awards at the Whiskey A Go-Go and Avalon Theater in Hollywood, where he was recipient of the 'Urban Artist' award. Now, two years later, polished up lyrics and a completed production of the songs have led to an exceptional stunning outcome.
If you're a true Stevie Hawkins fan, or if you've just discovered this multi-talented man, you'll want to have 'Diamonds In The Sky' and 'Sweet Honey' as part of your sophisticated Soul/R&B and Big Band Blues music collection. Order now! http://www.emphasisrecords.com
