We hope you are enjoying the summer! Here on New Age Music Guide, we are always looking for warm and sunny tracks. In this article, you will find some of the finest summer music our genre has to offer! Enjoy 😎

The first album out is:

Medwyn Goodall – Earth Goddess

You know me – I’m usually not a man of few words when it comes to music. But listening to Medwyn Goodall’s Earth Goddessalways leaves me speechless. In Medwyn’s massive discography (he is represented on iTunes with more than 350 titles – and counting!) there are so many excellent albums. But to me, Earth Goddess is special. It has to do with my love for the sunny island theme, and the fact that I feel that it is here new age music is at its very best.

Sample the album and find it on your favorite streaming service:

Gregg Karukas is an artist who is musically all over the map as a composer, performer, producer, and more. He recently released his first-ever solo piano album, Serenata(his 13th album), and it's a beauty! Gregg has produced many, many albums, including two for David Lanz (Finding Paradiseand The Good Life) and three for Omar Akram, one of which (Echoes of Love) earned Gregg a Grammy Award. Obviously a very busy musician, Gregg was kind enough to do this interview via email in August 2021.

KP: Hey Gregg! How is your summer going so far?

GK: It's good, and nice to see things opening up a bit.

KP: Yes it is! You recently released your first-ever solo piano album, Serenata. It's your thirteenth album - what took so long for you to go to solo piano?

GK: I have always considered myself a composer first, and then a multi-keyboard player with many styles to try my best to play authentically.......I have an affinity for soulful grooves, emotional and lyrical melodies. I'm pretty self taught, just a little classical training

Omar Akram encourages listeners to come with him on an exotic Secret Journey, an appropriate title for his new Real Music album since he grew up traveling around the world as the son of a United Nations diplomat living in such diverse locales as France, Cuba, Afghanistan and the Czech Republic. On Omar’s third contemporary instrumental CD, strong melodies are presented within tapestry-like arrangements carefully interweaving his acoustic grand piano with acoustic guitar, violin, duduk, flute and ethnic percussion performed by a group of world-class musicians.

“I look around me and see people who are bored, restless, stagnant,” explains Akram, “and I know they often take ‘secret journeys’ in their mind as they daydream about other places they could be. The lucky ones get to take an actual trip where they escape from the pressures of their lives. They see new places and have uncommon experiences. I like to think the music on my album can serve as the soundtrack for their journey, whether it is a mental or a physical trip. Everyone needs to get away sometime.”
