Singer-Songwriter Derek Helm Laments Lost Love And Times Gone By With “Gone to the Sea”

Singer-Songwriter Derek Helm Laments Lost Love And Times Gone By With “Gone to the Sea”

Universally, lost love is a difficult thing to come to terms with, but singer/songwriter Derek Helm is making it a little bit easier with the release of his beachy, sun-soaked new single, “Gone to the Sea.”

Starring a plugged-in acoustic guitar, ukulele, and some very smooth saxophone, “Gone to the Sea” tells the wistful story of taking beachside vacations with a lover — only for that love to have slipped away.

We used to go out every Saturday night
Mix margaritas and sway in the moonlight
Man, I miss that blue agave gaze
I wish I could go back and re-live those days

With its easy beats, languid pace, and seamless vocal harmonies, there’s a Beach Boys’ “Kokomo” vibe to the song; however, it was Bruce Springsteen’s “Hungry Heart” that originally served as inspiration. Helm and his band had wanted to record a cover of The Boss’s 1980 hit, though they never ended up getting around to it. “But I had already come up with some of the music and arrangement for it, and using that as the foundation, I started to write the lyrics to ‘Gone to the Sea’ over the music,” Helm shares. “So, thank you, Bruce!”

“Gone to the Sea” isn’t based on Helm’s personal experience of a breakup, but rather on some of his memories of beach vacations with his then-girlfriend, now wife, when they used to go out and drink margaritas and sing karaoke together. “The song Is mostly rooted in fond memories despite its lost-love story,” he says.

The beachy sound of the song, however, is a natural offshoot of Helm’s usual songwriting process. “Often when I’m writing, depending on the song, I’m imagining an alternate tropical, magical, enchanted world,” he continues. “I think it’s sort of an extension of how I romanticize Florida a little bit — more specifically South Florida. This was the case for ‘Gone to the Sea.’”

The song features Helm on lead vocals/acoustic guitar; Sam King on drums/backing vocals; Adam Haupt on bass/saxophone; Easton Summas on Electric Guitar; and Jesse Gelndinning on ukulele/backing vocals.

Derek Helm is a South Florida native. He was born in Miami and grew up in a small but growing town called Jupiter in Palm Beach County, Florida. After college, he worked for a year as a touring sound engineer and hired musician based out of Pennsylvania. The stint was formative for him as an artist, though it spurred in him a longing to be back in the tropical South Florida climate. During this time, Helm would listen to Jimmy Buffett as a warm remedy for being homesick. He then moved back to Florida, formed a band with his best friend from first grade, and established a studio and rehearsal space. He eventually began performing solo gigs at a beachside resort, which further helped him develop his own sound.

“Gone to the Sea” is available now.

Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame Inductee Shirley Eikhard Says “Anything Is Possible” with Release of New Single

Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame Inductee Shirley Eikhard Says “Anything Is Possible” with Release of New Single

Legendary singer/songwriter Shirley Eikhard is on her way back to the top with her latest drop, On My Way To You, and its new single, “Anything Is Possible.”

The Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame alumni is sharing her talents and vivacious songwriting on a brand new album, full of 12 future classics honing and spotlighting her sensational talent as a songbird and performer.

A career spanning more than 40 years, with accolades decorating her tenure in the music community, Eikhard experiments with modern sounds on this new album and plucks from her flair for the pop music that created her a staple in the songwriting scene. The writer behind the GRAMMY Award-winning “Let’s Give Them Something To Talk About” let’s the music take the lead; her robust signature vocals following in turn. Eikhard’s lead single, “Anything Is Possible” is an instant pop classic, featuring melodic synth and even finger snaps that tells the story of moving on, growing up, and calling on the human spirit to survive in the face of devastation.

Her tenacity in songwriting — having written more than 500 songs to date — encompasses not only Eikhard’s finely crafted talent at producing a bop that lasts the ages, but also her abilities as a multi-instrumentalist. A veteran musician, Eikhard boasts aptness on guitar, piano, bass, drums, percussion, chromatic harmonica, sax, dobro, banjo and mandolin. If the music calls for a new instrument, Eikhard challenges herself to learning to play it, perform it and produce it.

Beyond a limitless songwriting capacity, Eikhard impresses further still by performing the last of her nine releases in her own home studio. “I love a challenge,” Eikhard says.

On My Way To You leads a musical journey, through a soundscape of wonderment and excitement. While Eikhard reminds you “Anything Is Possible” on the opening track, she is unafraid to become vulnerable on songs like, “Good News”; both an inescapable prose of the grittier hardship of life and a desperate wish to change someone’s narrative. “Monsters In The Dark” is a poppy-jazz number, juxtaposed with dark lyrics, highlighting Eikhard’s unique capability of intertwining struggles with a catchy upbeat hook.

Shirley Eikhard shines song to song on an album that serves as a reminder this Canadian songstress continues to find stories to tell, and melodies to offer them by. On My Way To You is a catalog of continued songwriting at its finest; mirroring decades of being the top of her class. It’s true — Shirley Eikhard has managed to create yet another album of instant hits. Anything is truly possible.

Shirley Eikhard, originally from Sackville, New Brunswick, earned JUNO Awards in 1973 and 1974 for Best Country Female Artist, and has had numerous country and pop hits, including You’re My Weakness and Smilin’ Wine. Her songs have been recorded by Cher, Anne Murray, Chet Atkins, Ginette Reno, Alannah Myles, and Rita Coolidge.

Eikhard is coming off her induction into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame for writing the blues-rock hit Something to Talk About in Nashville in the 1980s, and had put the song on the back burner; and one day, received a surprise phone message from the American blues singer and guitarist Bonnie Raitt, replaying a recording of Something to Talk About that Raitt had just finished after discovering the song on a demo tape that Eikhard had sent her years earlier.

“I got home and there was this thing on my machine. There was Bonnie…I was numb,” recalled Eikhard. It may have taken seven years in the making for Eikhard to find the right artist to sing her song; but when Bonnie Raitt left that fateful voicemail, the rest is music history.

Raitt’s recording of Eikhard’s composition proved a spectacular success. The single, off Raitt’s Luck of the Draw album, peaked on Billboard’s Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts at No. 5 in October 1991, and at No. 8 on Cashbox. It placed even higher in Canada, at No. 3 on the RPM Top 100 chart and No. 4 on Adult Contemporary, and made the Top 20 on RPM’s 1991 year-end chart.

Something to Talk About netted Raitt the industry’s coveted Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and drove the Luck of the Draw album to win the Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance, boosted by multi-platinum sales in North America. At home in Canada, Something to Talk About also earned Eikhard a JUNO nomination for Songwriter of the Year, and later SOCAN Classics and BMI Awards for its status as a radio favourite.

Which shows, when you’re Shirley Eikhard, “Anything Is Possible.”

“Anything Is Possible” and On My Way To You are available now.

High Energy Soul-Funk Electro Outfit ISHI Strikes ‘Sweet Gold’ with Newly Minted LP

If you’re feeling funky, high-energy soul-funk electro outfit Ishi has a Sweet Gold mine of tracks ready and waiting to get your groove on.

Available now, the Houston, TX-based artist’s third full length album Sweet Gold, featuring track “Pro’s & Con’s” with Nia Brock, has landed — and not a moment too soon. Noting the project took two years to complete, Ishi says, “We haven’t released a full length in over seven years, and honestly could have done so. I had the material, but it did not feel right. I’m glad I took the time to wait, and to allow this record to come to life.”

An OG brainchild straight from Dallas, Texas, Ishi came together in 2007 when JT Mudd and Brad Dale set out to create a sound that would “redefine their own voice in modern day music.” What exploded from those early beginnings was an uptempo, funk and electronica group built with soul nuances and folk undertones. The cultivation of their eclecticism in soundscapes and genre brought the totality of an entirely different and creative genre — one only defined by Ishi.

It wouldn’t be long before the group would snag the attention of fans and listeners alike, and fast-tracked the group to full-speed touring with opening acts on the stages of Snoop Dog and Kid Cudi, even the UK’s favourite new wave export, New Order. Their debut release, Through The Trees, dropped in 2010, followed by their sophomore effort, Digital Wounds, in 2013.

Now they’re back with Sweet Gold under the Swedish indie label Icons Creating Evil Art. Adding to their millions of streams across Spotify alone, the album boasts 14 new songs, and features a variety of mega-watt artists.

As the curtain opens on Sweet Gold, the spotlight is fixed on “Not My Girl;” the banger bleeds out of the speakers with Ishi’s triumphant return to their genre roots. Featuring vox that throws it back Whitetown-esque, over a smooth Childish Gambino beat, Ishi cleverly and brilliantly blends together a bop that provides you room to groove on the dancefloor, or between the sheets, and gives you permission to choose without reservation.

“Lo-Fi Love Affair” introduces Medicine Man Revival and Keite Young to the party. The exquisite harmonies and chill vox are laced over smooth melodies and magnified with the strength of the synth, and the track goes down smooth like a friendly handshake with a tumbler of Scotch poured neat. Where Ishi gets it right is to not confine themselves into one way to tell a story. They can score influence from the Brothers Johnson, while asking Ye to hold the door — and these experimental grooves make their way from track to speaker to listener to earworm to hitting repeat again.

“Fly Away,” “Timeless,” “Glory,” and “I Ain’t Lost” join Ishi’s collaborative journey, with Cure for Paranoia contributing on both “Goody Goody” and “Power of Now,” all the way to King Kie, Picnictyme, and Sudie on “Clouds of 9,” “Gotchu,” and “How Bout You,” respectively. Nia Brock is featured on “I’d Rather Be,” the title track, “Sweet Gold,” and “Pro’s & Con’s” — the latter also receiving the remix treatment from Kraak & Smaak.

Whether you’re planning to vibe out with a glass of the good stuff, or you’re spinning the soundtrack of a night made for two, take it all in with a shot of something suave — like Sweet Gold.

My Next Read: “Still Alright: A Memoir” by Kenny Loggins

Kenny Loggins, known for his megahit soundtrack themes and high-profile collaborations, tells the fascinating and intimate stories behind his five-decade career as a songwriter and a folk, rock, and pop artist.

In a remarkable career, Kenny Loggins has rocked stages worldwide, released twelve platinum albums, and landed hits all over the Billboard charts. His place in music history is marked by a unique gift for collaboration combined with the vision to evolve, adapt, and persevere in an industry that loves to eat its own. Loggins served as a pivotal figure in the folk-rock movement of the early ’70s when he paired with former Buffalo Springfield member Jim Messina, recruited Stevie Nicks for the classic duet “Whenever I Call You ‘Friend,’” then pivoted to smooth rock in teaming up with Michael McDonald on their back-to-back Grammy-winning hits “What a Fool Believes” and “This Is It” (a seminal moment in the history of what would come to be known as Yacht Rock). In the ’80s, Loggins became the king of soundtracks with hit recordings for Caddyshack, Footloose, and Top Gun; and a bona fide global superstar singing alongside Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson on “We Are the World.”

In Still Alright, Kenny Loggins gives fans a candid and entertaining perspective on his life and career as one of the most noteworthy musicians of the 1970s and ’80s. He provides an abundance of compelling, insightful, and terrifically amusing behind-the-scenes tales. Loggins draws readers back to the musical eras they’ve loved, as well as addressing the challenges and obstacles of his life and work—including two marriages that ended in divorce, a difficult but motivating relationship with the older brother for which “Danny’s Song” is named, struggles with his addiction to benzodiazepines, and the revelations of turning seventy and looking back at everything that has shaped his music—and coming to terms with his rock-star persona and his true self.
