Welcome to STEWARDSONGS.com ~ home and only social media offering of the musicians' consortium STEWARDS ECLECTRIC. Everything you hear and see is done in-house, from writing to engineering, recording and production and artwork, right down to this left-hand-built website.

We care for it like the post-precocious child that it is.

We are a truly independent music producer, independent even of the existing definition of "Indie" artist. We go our own way, deflecting self-acclaimed experts and so-called mentors who would modifying our songs, lyrics and vocals, who would change our mixes and productions to suit their own tastes. Experts like those who recommended cutting Somewhere Over the Rainbow from the Wizard of Oz. They would've told Jimi Hendrix to practice more, polish up his vocals and try again. No, thank you. Go write your own song.

>>>> THE SONG PLAYERS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS LONG PAGE <<<<

Not a preview ~ the full song. Description provided above each player. No charge.

 To all highly valued repeat visitors, followers, and fans: welcome back. We take great joy in creating this music. Genre-wise, we're all over the place, and that makes it fun - so, with a salute to my bro Sylvester Steward a.k.a. Sly Stone, we say: "Thank you for lettin' us be ourselves again!" Ultimately, it is for your ears that we keep this organic music machine running. ECLECTRIC = widely varied, energetically charged. Predominantly electric rockers, we are, above all else, eclectic. At times, we lean into blues, hip hop, R&B, psychedelic, experimental, acoustic, folk, bluegrass, country (and "western"!), and jazz ~ well, not real jazz, more like smooth, casual jazz ~ all with a rock tint .

Our last single "Choosn Love" is here, plus info about the artists who created it. It's being played by lissners and fans in over 20 countries. The message remains timely. (Follow-up single on the way!)

This week's lyric SPOTLIGHT

and the subject is: M-A-S-A... 


"You had the brightest and the best - what we got was whole a lot less
Now the stupid have spoken – what a mofo’in mess
No accounting for all the bozos, and the only thing that’s funny:
These clowns are buyin’ this clunky bling with their own stupid money
And – now it’s the trademark brand of the land:  “‘Em-Ay-Ess-Ay:
MAKE AMERICA STOOPID AGAIN!"
from "Make America Stoopid Again: © ( to be released soon)
FROM THE DIRECTOR:   
One of my favorite things to do ~ after pushing a fledgling out of the nest, and watching it fly into the world ~ is seeing where it goes. A work in progress (due to be released soon) is "Make America Stoopid Again (a.k.a. MASA)" - and it should be interesting...

~ Q & A ~ COMMENTS ~ reviews ~ 

Q. Steward Electric [sic] What a load of crap. I'm calling you on this. S. Kool Buss [sic] the rapper - Fingers archnid? [sic] - surely you can't be serious. B. Dey
A. I am serious. And don't call me Surely.
>>> "Choosn Love" hit me with a wave of nostalgia and energy from the very first beat! The fusion of rock and rap is an exhilarating experience, making it feel like I was taken on a musical journey through time. I love how you’ve blended elements from two iconic genres—it gives the track a distinct and fresh vibe. The energy in the music is so alive, and I was immediately drawn into its groove. It’s obvious that your passion for honoring the greats is genuine, and it flows effortlessly throughout the song...  Lyrically, the song carries a powerful message about choosing love over division, and that optimism runs consistently through the track. The storytelling feels both personal and universal. Tempo Stub Magazine

>>> [Choosn Love]
The pacing is spot-on, allowing the track to build and evolve in a way that feels both natural and deliberate. The use of dynamics is particularly effective, with quiet, introspective moments giving way to powerful climaxes that heighten the emotional impact of the song.

Your vocal performance is exceptional, delivering the lyrics with both precision and feeling. The way your voice interacts with the instrumental elements is particularly striking, adding an extra layer of resonance to the track. The harmonies and vocal layering are skillfully executed, enhancing the emotional depth of the song without overwhelming it.

The production quality is outstanding,
with a mix that is both polished and organic. Every element of the track is given its own space within the soundstage, allowing the listener to fully appreciate the intricacies of the arrangement. The use of effects is subtle but effective, adding atmosphere and depth without detracting from the core elements of the song. Showland Productions

>>> Stewards Eclectric’s "Choosn Love"
brings a refreshing groove with smooth production and uplifting lyrics. The rhythm is infectious... Kindline Magazine
>>> [Choosn Love] We celebrate artists who resist through music anywhere in the world. The genre...has a wide audience in South America and Argentina. Migration and the cosmopolitan character of the city make it the perfect setting... We want to share your song on our social networks. Hug from Argentina, Latidoamerica
