Let Us Shine - Elements Of Life feat. Josh Milan [Vega Records]

"Elements of Life" brings a full disco melody complete with an 80's synth touch. Background vocals are delivered by a stellar cast of singers that include Cindy Mizelle, Audrey Wheeler, Anané, Dawn Tallman and Ramona Dunlap. The song is written by Nico Vega, who at barely 19 years old pens lyrics with the soul of someone who has gone through diverse experiences in life. It is a declarative song coming from a teenager pointing out where we are in the world today with war, and encouraging everyone to stop fighting, "no more war", "Let Us Shine Bright As Day", "Let Us Find A Peaceful Way", "Let Me Hear You Say", these words cry out to the world.

Remixes by Josh Milan on the Josh Milan Honeycomb versions, brings us an early 80’s melody reminding us of the seminal West End Records label. Louie Vega’s mixes stay true to the Elements Of Life sound mixed in with a Detroit low-end beat and synthesized nuances. An additional track is also added to the release, with Axel Tosca on keyboards, entitled “Los Tonos Sagrados,” meaning “The Sacred Tones.” This instrumental has the early afrobeat groove with Axel Tosca shining through with an organ solo and rim shots accentuating the percussion and music. Listen and enjoy the sounds of “Let Us Shine” and “Los Tonos Sagrados,” and you are sure to find yourself with arms up and eyes closed singing along to the melody in no time!
