Chris Morrissey Releases Latest Album ‘Infinite Source of Heat’

Infinite Source Of Heat is Chris Morrissey’s fourth full-length release for GroundUP Music and his eighth to date as a band leader. He is joined by longtime collaborators Marco Bolfelli on guitar, Bill Campbell on drums, Charlotte Greve on woodwinds, and Grammy-winning producer/engineer John Davis. Morrissey welcomes some formidable featured guests on Infinite Source Of Heat, including Norah Jones (on Hard To See), Mark Guiliana (on the title track Infinite Source Of Heat), and Aoife O’Donovan (on In The Crowd). Infinite Source Of Heat is eight new songs — written on guitars, pianos, and notebooks in spare rooms in Bed Stuy, empty dumbo offices, upstate front porches, and Euro-trains, then played and played on stage with a band. For the author, that process repeated is what the title describes.

Sofia Rei Releases New Single “Si Una Cae,” (feat. Mireya Ramos & Pedrito Martinez)

This song was inspired by Manuela Sáenz, the mistress of Simón Bolívar, who has been largely unrecognized for her pivotal role in South America’s fight for independence from Spain. Sofía chose her as a symbol of the many women who have been erased from history or denied the credit they deserve.

The Nth Power Releases New Single “Dream Alive”

The chorus says it all. I’m happy to be creating, learning, and riding with you. “Dream Alive” is a song about rolling with your crew – the chosen family we get to live life with. It’s a song about living the dream and being alive. The main chordal groove is a progression I came up with as an alternate bridge part for the Jackson 5 song ‘I Want You Back’ during my tenure in the Village Underground house band in New York. “Dream Alive” captures our raw, unapologetic musical approach through its driving rhythms and lyrical message. Everybody's musical contributions really shine through on this song.

Carolina Bubbico Releases New Single “Uma Rosa E Um Bordado” (feat. Mari Jasca)

“Uma Rosa E Um Bordado” is a journey of inner freedom, where the protagonist releases the weight of the past and walks forward with clarity and ease. The image of the “rose and the embroidery” symbolizes a reclaimed identity, simple, essential, and true, reflecting a woman who shapes her own beauty and meaning. The “beijo alforriado” becomes a gesture of emotional release. Moving between delicacy and inner power, the song celebrates a personal rebirth grounded in joy, transformation, and authenticity.
