Jay channels the energetic spirit of this track – led by spritely synths and a bombastic beat – in his performance. Characterized by soul, a crystal clear tone, and undeniable swagger, Jay’s vocals shine through in an impressive showcase of emotion and skill. Specifically on the second verse, the singer-songwriter’s vocals blossom into an explosive upper register bursting at the seams with richness and passion. The track swells from the verses into an anthemic chorus decorated with silky, stacked background vocals. Jay delivers a more-than-catchy hook bound to get listeners singing along, as well as echo through their minds for hours.

The music video accompanying this track amplifies Steevy Jay’s high-spirited performance. Telling the story of a romantic disconnect regarding Jay’s success, the artist works to convey that there are countless layers of pain and sacrifice beneath the surface-level perception of a glamorous artist. He does all of this while maintaining an infatuating magnetism and swagger that keeps viewers mesmerized. Despite trying to convince his love interest that there is a great deal of hardship that goes on behind the scenes of his career, Steevy Jay never fails to project the loveable qualities that have gotten him here in the first place. Fans can look forward to the release of this supremely danceable anthem and the accompanying music video on October 29th.

Album Review

Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”

Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.

Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses“ is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires“ is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.

“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.

The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home“ by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.

The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
