Rondi Charleston ”A Song
For The Ages” (Emmamuse)
Rondi’s status in the
Jazz arena is well documented and all praise
thrown her way is so very well deserved. So it’s
only natural that a talent like this should
enter the format with a track perfectly crafted
for AC radio. The poignant and timeless lyrics,
combined with a moving melody make this, as the
title says, a song for the ages. Richard
Warren Rappaport ”Sail Into The Sun” (A Top New York
Label)
Singer,
songwriter Richard Warren Rappaport’s debut foray
at the format has seen radio welcome him with open
arms. And why not. “Sail Into The Sun” is custom
made for Mainstream AC Radio. A well crafted
melody and subtle rhythms surround Rappaport’s
smooth vocal delivery, reminiscent of Al Jarreau.
And this is just the tip of the musical iceberg
for RWR.
Jefferson Thomas ”Glory
Bound” (Evanworks)
Singer/songwriter/producer Jefferson Thomas earns
Most Added honors at ACQB this week with the lead

perfect companion on this journey. For more info,

If you’re
looking for a Mainstream AC record that is right in
the pocket, look no further than “Home With You.”
Emotive lyrics and melody set the pace for the
gigantic hook of a chorus. Truly a pleasant surprise
from an artist that should not be overlooked. Check
him out on the web at
www.bozmusic.com.
The lead
track from TFB’s Abstract Man CD finds Fuller and
company firmly in the grasp of an outstanding pop
record. Timely lyrics, an elephant-sized-hook-laden
chorus and production elements on par with today’s
top artists, spell more success for Chicago-based
outfit. For more info, check out

Looking
for something to spice up your airwaves? Well look
no further than “Centrifuge,” the latest work from
composer, multi-instrumental mastermind Antherius.
This one is already garnering success at the format.
Think Harold Faltermayer’s “Axel F” meets Herbie
Hancock’s “Rockit.” (www.antherius.com)
Sarah
may be best known from her American Idol audition,
but after spending time with “Dangerouz” you can
tell that’s all about to change. The lead track from
her debut disc, One, packs plenty of pop punch while
her powerful vocal performance delivers on all
fronts. Check her out on the web at
www.sarahburgessmusic.com or www.myspace.com/sarahburgessmusicdotcom.
SPiN “Home”
(spinrocks.com)
Philadelphia’s own
SPiN deliver a quality debut effort on their
maiden voyage at the format. “Home” sets sail
for radio and this powerful and well produced
track is destined to find many radio
ports to dock at. Stellar

not to be missed. Easily one of the
surprise of the year.
