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 <<<<

 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 latest: "Choosn Love" is here. Also info about the artists who created it *. No time for details? The song has its own HearNow mini website: URL https://stewardseclectric.hearnow.com  ~ including links, and the complete song plays FREE.

This week's lyric SPOTLIGHT

and the subject is: Choosn... 


"Recognize – one can see
Need a smarter, a calmer energy
Don’t need lies, but a steady hand
Steer us back to the love in this land"
From "Choosn Love" © (special release single Sept. 11, 2024)
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. Interesting - watching the path of "Choosn Love"...

~ Q & A ~ COMMENTS ~ reviews ~ 

>>> "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. 

We're thrilled to spotlight this electrifying fusion
on our music blog, as its message of unity and its dynamic genre blend will definitely strike a chord with our readers. 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, making it easy for anyone to relate to, which really resonated with me. The collaboration with other artists added a refreshing dimension, almost like a musical dialogue unfolding in real time. I’m eager to see where this eclectic journey takes you next! Tempo Stub Magazine

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

What an incredible feat, an extraordinary achievement of obvious and unique melodic success. Sung with extraordinary enthusiasm and professionalism, especially very well oriented and organized in its melancholic lyrics. What a magnificent musical marvel. Truly incredible. Congratulations Groove It

Hi guys, Really cool song, loved the 80s beat and robotic sound effects, awesome part at 0:42! Will be added to our radio's database... Keep on rockin’! Ze Rock Porto

What an amazing song! When the synths hit, it's just fabulous, reminded me of Stevie Wonder. Also, the song has nice mix of genres, from a classic 70's r&b to modern hip hop. Intricate harmonies and melodies give it a great sauce... Edu (Eduardo Pastore)
>>> 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
