Steemit Open Mic Week 93 - "Come My Way" - Featuring @Pechichemena!! --- by
Okay, so lately I have this affinity for mash-ups and collaborations… Hmmm… I wonder where that came from… Regardless of such affinities, this gem, “Come My Way” by
is simply stunning! It’s a song about leaping into the great wide open of life, taking risks, and letting life come to you, on your own terms, and in your own special way. The impressive audio engineering and musical artistry of
and his associates are self-evident in this dreamy song of hope and reflection. Great collaboration guys! -
"Wow guys!
This song is leap years in quality of most of the tunes I could ever hear on a radio and I mean that sincerely. This to me belongs as the soundtrack of one of those movies that leaves you all emotional at the end removing your ability to enjoy breakfast the very next day. You know exactly what I'm talking about I'm sure.
Beautiful production, the buildup was the perfect touch and Lily's voice.... angelic as always. -
2nd Place
You won 40 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.
Right from the way her super-professional speaking voice sounded in the intro, I immediately got the sense that I was in for something good here. Amid her intro, I thought I was listening to the mainstream radio for gosh sake! Wow, – let me tell you,
did not let me down – at all! In fact, she blew me away with her rendition of “Gemni Feed,” a song I’ve never heard before. Alisha’s performance on the keys in concert with her outstanding vocal performance guaranteed her artistry a secure place within my top-5. Great audio production too, girlfriend… NICE! =
"Really like this song, never heard it before untill now and
I remember
telling me that
Absolutely stunning performance. Welcome to the open mic
3rd Place
You won 26 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.
Steemit OpenMic Week 93 - Dos Gardenias - Buena Vista Social Club --- by
I believe this is the very first time that I’ve seen and heard from
and
. The first thing that caught my eye beyond observing a rather attractive young couple setting up their intro – was the cool black & white backdrop and setting that they created for recording this amazing performance! Seconds later, my auditory senses were lovingly stroked by such a depth and richness of guitar playing that I knew I might be in for a treat. I waited with bated breath for the vocals to commence and hopefully compliment the richness and beauty of the guitar sounds that I was hearing. … And then she began to sing… - and I was like – whoa! - They sound so perfect and beautiful together! I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this performance – it is truly outstanding in every way. The hilarious outtake was simply icing on the cake… I loved everything about this you two! -
So this happened. I was transported to a different time, stolen from my time line for 4 minutes of my life. Honestly unless you are not familiar with Buena Vista Club Social, you might listen to this track and be confused about it. But, this rendition is freaking beautiful, the latin jazz elements are all there, hinted by Gabriel's brilliant playing and caressed by
*"what a lovely performance. really loved the black and white and the setting. The camera work was lovely as well, captured a nice suiting feel, loved the vocals, sultry and smooth, absolutely lovely. Fantastic guitar work as well, what a beautiful sound you both created together" * -
4th Place
You won 26 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.
Steemit Open Mic Week 93 - Connecting The Dots - Original song by Darren Claxton --- by
”Connecting the Dots” is a poetic marvel! Darren has a unique and special way of writing incredible stories in elegant poetic form. He then goes onto crafting a beautiful melodic backdrop of vocals and music to tell his story. With every bit of creative and musical dynamism that we’ve come to expect from Darren, he handily delivers the goods once again, with “Connecting the Dots.” -
Darren has been on fire for a while now, no sign of slowing down in the slightest. I for one, freaking love it. If he continues like this, he's going to end up with 10 EPs before the year is over. -

5th Place
You won 26 Steem and a 5-Pack of Steem Monster cards.
*"I am so over the moon to see and hear Kate Jablonski back on open mic. Hearing them pipes open up with so much soul and depth brought me the goosebumps and a good pound in my chest. What a beautiful lyric and heartfelt performance, which is something kate never seems to fail at delivering everytime she jumps in with us. Fantastic" * -
It seems like a lifetime ago now that I first heard
's entries for the first time. I have to say I've never seen/heard her miss the mark and we've missed her dearly. I kept on wondering "Where are you?" (pun intended, stolen from the lyrics) - But It was a beautiful surprise to see her enter this week, and it was a pleasure to listen to this talented soul once again. -
Here's a screenshot of the prizes transferred to the winners this week.
