Elisa Minelli & Sergio Lorandi Honor Jazz Legacy with EP “Star Eyes”

Elisa Minelli and Sergio Lorandi

“Star Eyes” released September 20, 2025. Italian jazz duo Elisa Minelli and Sergio Lorandi take on a fresh new venture with the release of their debut jazz EP “Star eyes.” The project gracefully weaves together history, sentiment and musicianship,  a tribute to the golden age of jazz revisited and reimagined for contemporary ears.

With a repertoire that includes timeless jazz standards such as “Embraceable You,”The Nearness of you” and “Star Eyes” from where their EP gets its name, the duo’s new work is rounded out by an original composition, ‘Walking Alone on Snow’, reflecting their reverence for the genre mixed with their own creativity.

And Minelli’s vocals, warm and graceful, weave through the elegant guitar work of Lorandi in a collaboration that feels intimate and timeless. Their arrangements pay homage to the masters, and some of those same greats could learn something from them; you feel the care in every chord and phrase.

“Star Eyes” is a love letter to the genre, a bridge between past and future, where history meets fealty. For jazz fans or novices, Minelli and Lorandi present a listening experience full of charm, soul, and elegance.

Amanda Fagan unveils lost love and regret on latest release “Forever Yearn”

Amanda Fagan

Amanda Fagans latest release, “Forever Yearn,” is a tragic love story of pride, lost opportunity, and the harrowing knowledge that some mistakes can never be undone. A young couple at heart, wild and almost in love, but whose pride prevents the relationship from flowering. Their story doesn’t end with seeing what went wrong. It hurts more because you don’t see it for years.

“It’s a song about breaking cycles, but the characters are caught in the consequences of their choices. They learn from their mistakes, but knowledge cannot change the past. What remains is the longing for each other, which gives the song its emotional weight and its title, “Forever Yearn.”

Inspired by Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, the song feels like a love story that never gets old. Fagan’s premise blends regret and longing, showing how pride can linger long after an alternative decision could have changed everything. So “Forever Yearn” is less about lost love than about two people wondering what might have been.

iLLLACAT brings sharp bars and catchy production with latest release “Like Dat”

iLLLACAT

iLLLACAT drops “Like Dat,” a Hip-Hop cut with punchy production, percussion, and synths that give the record movement. Bookie comes on the track and sets the tone immediately with the hard lines, “Get out of my face with the gas, we’re on the chase for the cash, if you’re moving fake I’ll pass, I’ll pack it, and I’ll put it in a bag.” The delivery is right there in the money, the movement, and staying away from anything fake.

The production leaves plenty of space to land those words. Percussion powers the track with synths adding another layer to the beat, a backdrop for the straight-up vocal approach. “Like Dat” maintains tight energy and, instead of overcomplicating its message, lets the verses do the work in terms of personality.

The line, “Steady making money while smoking a pain killer” provides another memorable moment and an insight into the attitude that runs throughout the record. iLLLACAT brings us “Like Dat”, a pure hip-hop joint with Bookie on the track. A catchy production that stays sharp, an assertive voice, memorable lines, and enough rhythmic punch to keep the record moving.
