MAIKO WATSON has recently released her introspective debut solo album, Sweet Vibration on independent label, Labeame Records, which is run by her and her sister. This album was written, produced and arranged by Maiko and can be best described as “a melting pot of earthy vintage tones, layering elements of reggae, rock and jazz to bring classic soul to the twenty first century.” Sweet Vibration was recorded with live instrumentation, and takes listeners on a journey of love, heartbreak, optimism and strength, creating a sound that is as familiar as it is definitive.

She’s definitely come a long way from her Pop Star days with Sugar Jones. Peep the new album on Itunes and CDBaby!

“For 30 days starting from today my entire album “The Headphone” will be available for FREE download as a thank you but more importantly stressing that the music is the most important thing. I would rather people who dont know get a taste and people who do know get a gift, this concept was not a concept i came up with on my own” -KJ

Nowadays you got mixtapes, street albums, EPs.. So many names, it’s hard to differentiate.. To me the only real difference between a mixtape and an album is the actual value the artist sees in what he’s offering the listener; and if that’s the case, this should be worth the download (I’m puttin’ pressure on you KJ, lol)
