Grammy-nominated Latin singer-songwriter Gustavo Galindo is celebrating the release of his 3rd album Between Two Worlds. The new album finds him as a fully realized artist where his life as a husband, father, and performer have come together in a collection of deeply personal songs. Two singles from the album have been released, “Continentes Distintos,” “Broken Things” and a third called “Princesa,” about his daughter, which will soon have an official music video.

Between Two Worlds can be streamed on all platforms.

“This album really captures a very interesting time in my life as an adult. It starts with a love story and ends with a funeral and covers everything in between. I wanted to make something for people my age or who are going through the transitions life throws at you. Mature relationships, parenthood, therapy, redemption, hope, and fear are all thrown in a blender that can leave so many of us grasping for air before time comes and counts down our remaining seconds. I wanted to make music that would fight against that despair and melancholy of the middle-age American dream by embracing the shadows and messiness that comes with it.” – Gustavo Galindo

“Broken Things”

“Broken Things” was inspired by ‘Kintsugi’ – the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken objects, often with gold lacquer. The lyrics explore embracing and cherishing the perceived imperfections and fractures within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. “Broken Things” showcases Gustavo's ability to tap into the human experience, encouraging us to see the beauty in what we perceive as broken.

“Continentes Distintos”

“Continentes Distintos” explores the stage of a relationship where things start to change and you can feel like strangers drifting apart as if you are on ‘different continents.’ Gustavo’s songwriting style and heartfelt lyrics again touch on the human experience we all share.

Gustavo Galindo has always been a musical explorer straddling two worlds, two cultures, and two languages. Born in Mexico and raised in the United States, he has created a unique musical vocabulary. His music is filled with passion, wisdom, and honesty which transcends borders and genres. Gustavo has shared the stage with global stars including Enrique Iglesias, LP, Juanes, Los Amigos Invisibles, and more.

Gustavo regularly performs all around Los Angeles and beyond, with plans to announce more shows soon.

Nashville-based singer and songwriter Jeffrey James returns with his new single, “Day by Day,” out now via Preach Records.

Over the past few years, Jeffrey James has captivated the hearts of millions with his soulful and introspective sound and his rich, velvety vocals. For his new single, “Day by Day,” Jeffrey worked with John Davidson and Jacob Bryant, the lead singer and lead guitarist of the indie-rock band The Brummies. Merging Jeffrey’s soulful pop stylings with John and Jacob’s indie sensibilities, the trio created an irresistibly catchy, genre-blending anthem with "Day by Day."

“The song is based on my own experience of growing and learning about life and love alongside my wife,” Jeffrey shares. “It hasn’t always been perfect or easy, but there is nothing better than knowing you have a partner who is by your side and ready to take on whatever comes next.”

Pairing catchy pop melodics and R&B influences with reflective lyricism, Jeffrey’s songs explore the complex emotional layers of human experience with compassion and curiosity. Since making his debut in 2016, he has amassed millions of streams across his repertoire, received praise from tastemakers like Billboard and 1883 Magazine, and had his music featured in numerous TV shows and films. In Spring 2022, Jeffrey’s collaboration with Grammy Award-winning DJ, Dave Audé, climbed to number 5 on the UK dance charts. Over the course of his singles, collaborations and EPs, Jeffrey has continued to explore his sound, emerging as an exciting force in the contemporary pop space.

ABOUT OTIS:

The Commonwealth of Kentucky has a storied music history and a large catalog of renowned artists. While it's most famous for producing more country music stars per capita than anywhere else in the United States, musicians all across the spectrum —from bluegrass to rock and roll—have called Kentucky home. Out of this musical melting pot comes the blues-based, rock 'n' roll band OTIS.

With Boone Froggett on guitar and vocals, John Seeley on bass, Alex Wells on guitar, and Dale Myers on drums, the members of The Otis Band stay connected to their Kentucky roots. Growing up around traditional instruments like piano, fiddle, and guitar instilled in them an appreciation for country-rock, bluegrass, gospel, and folk music. Kentucky's rich musical heritage led them to discover the Rock and Blues heroes that continue to influence the band's original material today.

While it would be easy to categorize the work of OTIS as Southern Rock, being from Kentucky, their musical background is much broader. In addition to being guided by the classic rock giants of the 1960s and 70s era, the members of OTIS draw inspiration from true greats—people like Muddy Waters, Leadbelly, and the artists of Motown—to create their own unique rock and roll sound.

After releasing Tough Times: A Tribute to John Brim,—Former Chess Records Blues Recording Artist— in 2014, OTIS joined Cleopatra Records in 2017, with the release of their second album Eyes of the Sun. A chance meeting with ZZ Top's Billy F. Gibbons led to the legend listening to Otis and becoming a fan—even handing their albums off to Buddy Guy and Jeff Beck! Four songs from Eyes of the Sun were also included in the 2020 film Street Survivors soundtrack.
