New for 2008

Sue Jin is best known for her big voice and her outstanding self-penned material.  But here she delivers a cover of a John Lennon song - and totally owns it.  Hush, Yoko.

Bite-sized and nutritious. Offbeat and delicious. Never malicious, always felicitous. Funny, smart, ginormous heart. That's Florence Yoo. Sounds good too.

If you haven't heard Ms. Florentino sing, your life experiences are sadly lacking. And if you don't own her CD "Sail", your music collection has a gaping hole.

Atlanta-based performer Janie Chu is a long-time fixture on the local scene - and this song is a good indication of why. For further pleasure, consult her CD "Roots".

Emi has a new album out, but this cut is a selection from an earlier work.  You'll want to own BOTH CDs and anything else you can find by this dazzling artist.

"One Hell of a City" is one hell of a song - and there's "No Way" you won't like this pair of tunes from native Texan Jeff Hsin. That's right, pardner.

Think you've heard it all?  You haven't. Kiyomi is truly unique and her sound is impossible to describe. Just take a listen to these songs - and prepare to smile.

A long time ago... A girl named Guia fell in love with a boy named Soulrane. He came up to the girl to ask her name. And she replied, Dance with me......

Two more gorgeous tunes from Hawaii's own Kristen Nakasone.  We hear rumors these songs will appear on an upcoming full-length CD.  Can't wait!!!

Hot soul sounds from the Atlanta-based Yen.  His debut album (featuring this cut) is now available - get your copy now!  More info on the Jukebox page.

The Top Tunes from 2007

Nope, love ain't easy - but loving this song is not difficult at all.  A marvelous selection from Lee's CD "Navigating By Stars". Look for more Lee on our Samplers.

The title track from her new CD, "Spoke Too Loud" is a great introduction to the slinky, funky, kinda-punky sound of Sheila Sondergard. Totally unique - and fun!

Hoi is a touch of Sarah McLachlan with a kiss of soul. She is on a mission to inspire and encourage with a pure voice, heart-felt lyrics, and catchy instrumental hooks.

Melissa Polinar is a singer-songwriter with one of the most evocative voices you've ever heard. Here are two great tunes that show her at her very best.

If you're a fan of big, big voices, flawless musicianship and sharp songwriting -- Sue Jin is just what you've been looking for. One piece of advice: hold on tight!

Here's a great version of Guia's club hit "Lemon Light" from her new EP of the same name.  Crank this way up and shake your boo-tay!

Broadway?  Leila's been there, done that. Now she pursues a more personal vision - that of singer/songwriter.  And once again she is a complete success.  Just listen.

In a stunning litany of sophisticated yet accessible songs, Toronto-based Moulann channels her effervescent creativity into themes of love, hope, longing and loss.

Charm Park plays everything on his recordings - and he does it extremely well. These instrumentals will give you a taste of what "The Charm" is all about.

Classically trained Catherine Duc bridges the ancient with the up to date on her CD Visions and Dreams. Rarely has the label worldbeat been more appropriate.

This beautiful song has appeared on an ATO Sampler - but only in demo form. Now hear the studio version.  We like 'em both. Kristen hails from Honolulu.  Lucky girl!

Jeff was classically trained on the piano, but put a guitar in his hands and pardner, this native Texan can ROCK!  He is currently racking up raves in D.C.

She sings, she dances and she acts. Natalie Oei is a true triple-threat talent
who believes that "if you do something, do it well".  Nobody does it better.

Carolyn Ota's rich, warm voice is at once comforting, uplifting and healing.  Her music is a rare gift  - one that we are fortunate and pleased to share with you.

Hailing from Los Angeles, Cynthia Wang writes and performs some of the most elegantly spare music you're likely to hear. Simple, beautiful, memorable.

Jane Lui is a multi-talented singer/songwriter who is well known on the San Diego music scene.  Lovely voice, great player.

Another singer/songwriter from San Diego, Brenda Xu is new to the scene but is quickly getting noticed for her strong tunes and beautifully understated delivery.
