Camila is the eponymous debut studio album by Cuban-American singer Camila Cabello. It was released on January 12, 2018, through Epic Records, Syco and Sony Music. Work on the album began in January 2017, following Cabello's departure from Fifth Harmony, with whom she had released two studio albums and one EP. The project was initially announced as The Hurting. The Healing. The Loving. but was later changed to simply Camila. Primarily a pop record, it incorporates elements of Latin music and R&B. The album was executive-produced by Frank Dukes, with additional work from Skrillex and The Futuristics, among others. Cabello also worked with artists such as Sia Furler, Charli XCX, and Ed Sheeran on tracks that were later scrapped. Camila has been met with positive reviews from contemporary music critics, most of whom commended the Latin influences and ballads featured.
The album was originally set to be released in September 2017 with Cabello's debut solo single "Crying in the Club" intended as the lead single, but following the significant commercial success of her follow-up single "Havana", several songs were scrapped, resulting in work on the album continuing and its release postponed. "Havana" has since topped charts in territories such as Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. "Never Be the Same" was released as the album's second single in December 2017, and was officially serviced for radio airplay the following January. Cabello promoted the album through a number of interviews and televised performances. Commercially, it debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200.

A New World Arise is their fourth release, following up on 2013’s Frozen Paradise. Although their catalog is much smaller, comparing the quality and songwriting stealth of their work to a band like Pretty Maids isn’t a stretch. In fact, it’s more a reason to whine; how much better would the benumbed musical landscape be with 10+ more ColdSpell studio albums to turn to?
Guitarist Michael Larsson is the main composer, and you can tell he’s a fan of big riffs, melodic leads, and like all great songwriters, it’s the SONG that matters most, not its separate pieces. “Forever” is a testament to that idea, with racing riffs, a massive chorus and as anyone who has ever heard ColdSpell, lead singer Niclas Svedentorp has a warm, effortless delivery that is all melody and strength. The freakin’ solo is amazing as well. This almost veers into Power Metal with its racing tempo and pounding ferocity.

Christian Sands may appear onstage as a sideman to bigger names, but when he puts his tender fingers on those hard black and white keys, he changes the scenery of a room. In his upcoming new Mack Avenue record debut REACH, the 27-year-old jazz pianist steps into the limelight as the disarming revelation he is in person. Reach is scheduled for release April 21 and features three-time Grammy®-winning bassist Christian McBride as co-producer and a special guest on one of the tunes, that bowed bass in the Bill Withers cover, “Use Me.” Sands regularly tours with McBride’s Grammy-nominated Trio far and wide, giving audiences a glimpse of the tasty measures rolling around in the versatile pianist’s fertile imagination.

Thurman is a modern player who both honors the past and looks towards the future. Her promotional materials make the legitimate claim that her sound on tenor evokes Dexter Gordon and Joe Henderson and that her vocals are suggestive of Ella Fitzgerald and Betty Carter. While this is all true, yet Thurman’s concepts are fresh, innovative and modern. She takes delight in presenting material that is informed by the legendary masters while simultaneously imbuing it with the hip language of her current generation.
