An Independent Musician Accused of Selling Out

In a blog posted on Myspace, I read a question posed by an upcoming independent artist. She asked her fans, readers and subscribers whether on not she had sold out now that her music is heard in a television commercial and a prime time show. A few of her fans accused her of selling out- though most wished her well in her new found success. Everyone is entitled to their opinion in determining who is a sell out. I sometimes wonder how they arrive at their conclusion.

Because this artist has obtained a degree of fame- and is now an opening act in an upcoming tour- doesn't mean they're a sell out. When your material garners a worldwide following because it's excellent, it's no fault of the artist. If there's one redeeming fact to satisfy her few disappointed fans, she doesn't have a label deal or a distributor- yet.
Continuing to span the globe to locate music new and exciting, the artists below supply a taste of chill, lounge, jazz, world and more.

The Jazzy Lounge Song of the Week

October 1-7, 2007
Once again I've come across a song with strong elements woven throughout. It's "Circles" by Amanaska. The first time I heard it, the melodic arrangement grabbed me with it's rhythms and mixture of electronic and real instruments. After a few listens, I began to focus on the lyrics and I felt I was listening to a brand new song. Intelligent lyrics based on an event, an experience, suffered only by the author. You are able to visualize each section (partial lyrics):
The moon is rising in the east,
Waves roll in and your heart beats
Our eyes look towards the heavens
And we think about the future
Now we’re asking the question again,
Who to keep out and who to let in,
Are we looking for someone to blame,
Believing the lies, and talking in circles again.
During the first 20 bars before the vocals, Simon Lewis creates an intro that, if played at a live concert, should only be heard in a small venue. Those who realize the intimacy of a small venue versus an auditorium know what I'm talking about. Add the melodic female and male vocals and this song packs an emotional whollop that will imprint your being.

Amanaska was founded by Australians Simon Lewis and Stephen Joyce, but is only headed by Simon now.
