Penny Towers: No Superman
No Superman, a new song by Penny Towers

Publisher Jay Carney's Interpretation

"In these turbulent times, so many Americans feel abandoned by the very leaders who once inspired hope and unity. We're waiting for someone--some 'Superman'--to step forward and remind us who we are, to pull us back toward decency, compassion, and sanity. But that hero hasn't arrived.

That's why Penny Towers' 'No Superman' resonates so deeply with me. Beyond its beautiful personal narrative, the song echoes our collective longing for leadership and connection during one of the darkest chapters in our nation's political and social life. It speaks not only to heartbreak, but to the ache of a country searching for hope again."

When My Baby Sings
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



Starburst Records Announces Official Music Video and Upcoming Single Release for Johnny Gray's New Country Ballad "When My Baby Sings"



Starburst Records is proud to announce the official music video and upcoming single release of "When My Baby Sings," the brand-new track from contemporary country artist Johnny Gray. A deeply emotional love letter set to music, the song and video together capture a man whose heart beats in rhythm with the woman he loves.



"When My Baby Sings" is a modern country ballad that blends soulful vocals, warm acoustic and electric guitars, pedal steel, and a dynamic band arrangement into an intimate, radio-ready production. Lyrically, the song is a tribute to the kind of love that anchors and transforms a life--told from the perspective of a man who finds his center every time she opens her mouth to sing.



The official music video, created and produced by Jay Carney of Starburst Records, brings that story vividly to life. Through heartfelt performance shots and tender, cinematic moments, viewers are invited into Johnny's inner world as he sings directly to the woman who is "virtually his beating heart." The visuals follow the emotional arc of the music, from quiet, reflective verses to a swelling chorus that feels like a slow dance in the kitchen at midnight.



"After 18 years of producing and promoting music, I still get choked up every time I watch this video," says Jay Carney, Founder & CEO of Starburst Records. "This song is pure honesty. Johnny is not playing a character--he's opening his heart, and I think listeners are going to feel that instantly."



Drawing on the spirit of artists like Keith Urban, Brett Young, Thomas Rhett, and Dan + Shay, "When My Baby Sings" fits comfortably alongside the best of today's contemporary country while retaining its own distinct voice. It's a song for couples in love, for those who miss someone they care about, and for anyone who believes in the power of one person's voice to li
Ascend - A Distant Transmission
A lofi sci-fi micro-film about connection, noise, and reaching beyond the ordinary



"Ascend - A Distant Transmission" is a beautifully understated piece of lofi sci-fi storytelling, blending atmospheric urban visuals with an introspective electronic soundtrack to create something that feels both intimate and cosmic.



Even without traditional dialogue, the film tells a clear and emotionally resonant story through:



the subtitled internal monologue,



the visual journey through alleys, rooftops, stairwells and neon reflections, and



the meditative lofi beat that keeps everything suspended in a dreamlike hum.



At its core, this is the story of a signal engineer -- alone in a noisy, neon-drenched city -- who is trying to send a message out into the void. Whether that message is a distress signal, a hope, a memory, or an invitation is up to the viewer, which is part of the film's magic.
J. Johnson Esposito: You and I
J. Johnson Esposito is a modern-day crooner redefining classic sophistication for a new generation. With a voice as smooth as velvet and a style that nods to legends like Sinatra, Bennett, and Bublé, Esposito bridges the golden age of swing with the intimacy of contemporary jazz and pop. His performances shimmer with romance, charm, and cinematic flair -- transporting audiences to candlelit lounges and vintage supper clubs, where every lyric feels like a love letter.
The Day You Arrived
The very special bond between father and child.
Desperation Blues
a reviewer said: ""Desperation Blues" stands out for its raw emotional honesty and cinematic grit. Jay Carney's songwriting carries the weight of social struggle and personal resilience, recalling the timelessness of artists who use song as testimony. The acoustic guitar drives the rhythm with urgency, while the vocal performance burns with conviction--part lament, part rallying cry. The production is intimate yet powerful, perfectly balancing warmth and tension. This is a protest song with heart, delivering both introspection and defiance -- a blend rarely achieved this authentically today."
Johnny Gray: Amber Mist
Johnny Gray is not your typical Country Music Recording artist, and neither is his label, Starburst Records. Johnny Gray is not afraid to address his struggles with alcohol abuse head on. This song "Amber Mist" delves deeply into the reality of how this has affected his relationship with his wife, her efforts to "cure him" and his personal struggles. If you have ever struggled with drug or alcohol addiction, this song will likely strike a chord with you.
Johnny Gray: Forever Love
Starburst Records' country music recording artist Johnny Gray sings his recently released original song "Forever Love"
Righteousness Not Might (No Kings!)
Back in 2010, I collaborated with Jean Paul Zoghbi to create a song called "Righteousness Not Might" which we entered into the 6-Pack songwriting competition that year. Over the past ocuple of days I deicded to give the song an "update" with a brand new music video incorporating a Steampunk vibe. In doing so, it struck me as how relevent these 15 year old lyrics are to the No Kings protest.
What's It Gonna Take?
A music video based upon the worldwide reality of the need for the common man to stand up to dictaror, tyrants and oppressors. Song writtten, composed & produced by Doreen & William. Video directed and produced by Jay Carney, Starburst Records.
Vinni Hamilton: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas ft. Melixxa
A soulful, elegant take on a Christmas classic. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" blends smooth R&B vocal solo with warm acoustic jazz piano. Vinni Hamilton and Melixxa deliver timeless emotion and modern grace, perfect for cozy, romantic, and festive playlists alike. In the style of Alicia Keys, John Legend, Norah Jones, this would blend well on a Spotify Christmas music playlist.
Sun Coming Up
This is a music video intended to promote the upcoming release of a new album called Sun Coming Up created in collaboration with poet Kathleen Flaherty Denizard & Executive Producer Edward J. Sylvia with music and video produced,created and published by Starburst Records.
Ghost
Recently I was tasked with adapting a series of published poems by author Kathleen Flaherty Denizard of South Dartmouth, Massachusetts to songs as a means of introducing this 80 year old grandmother to a whole new, youthful audience that has never heard of her or read her writings. Here is one of my works done for this purpose taking her published poem "Ghost" and lighting it on fire. Hope you enjoy it! If you care to hear anymore of my song adaptations of Kathleen's poems, just click here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2dW8h3ayn6dELDzecmF3Ns?si=Vl6ZKvxETy2pkdloEhDRCQ

Tokoname: See You Next Time

Tomorrow Afternoon
I think this may be the most important song I've ever produced and co-written with Greg Johnson. So many of my friends and relatives can't figure out what the lyrics mean, that I decided to really spell it out. This song is about an unborn fetus pleading with her mother from the womb. The mother has scheduled an abortion for the following afernoon.

American Wars
Memorial Day

My dear mother, who died last year at the ripe old age of 102, was adamantly, unequivocally ANTI-WAR. After all, her husband and father to her four children, Doreen, Pat, Mark and Jay died at the age of 42 as a result of WWII leaving her a grieving widow of four small children, living in a second floor flat in the west end of New Bedford. With typical American heroism, my mom put all 4 of us kids through college, grounded us with good strong values, and even went back to college herself in her 50's and earned a college degree.

Whenever Memorial Day and Veteran's Day roll around each year, I am engulfed with conflict. On the one hand, I have tremendous respect for The Greatest Generation of American Heroes who stepped to the plate and helped the rest of the world overcome Hitler's Nazi's and the Holocaust. As anti-war as I am, I do believe WWII is a knowable exception to the rule that all wars are evil.

On the other hand, there's no question we've had a long sad history in meddling in the affairs of other countries, often prodded along to do so by the Miliary Industrial Complex that Eisenhower warned us about.
Slow Dance Scene from upcoming feature length movie called "Labatchi Metamorphosis"
Motivation for the actor playing the part of Tony Labatchi, Sr. in this scene:



Poor Tony Sr. is so distraught. He's been dumped by his girlfriend of four years. He proposed to her with an engagement ring, and not only did she choose this moment to break up with him, but she's got some other "bozo" staying at her house and sleeping with her. I mean, really? WTF? So, he jumps on a flight to Paris to drown his sorrows. He meets and falls in love with a gorgeous woman named "Gigi". She understands him. She comforts him. He's in mourning, and she is loving, kind and helps him through this rough spot. She's an Angel who wraps her arms around him and soothes his pain. That's what this song and dance are all about. Gigi helps Tony Sr. get back up on his feet and feel like a man again. That's what this dance is meant to mean. Greg Johnson's lyrics are incredible & incredibly appropriate in this scene. That's why I propose we show this scene like this.

Greg Johnson: I Guess We're Done
I've always truly loved British humor with its often witty sarcasm and brilliant observations on human behavior. This video is based upon a song written, composed & performed by Greg Johnson called "I Guess We're Done". I laugh my ass off every time I listen to it. I hope you also enjoy the humor about a relationship gone bad.

Penny Towers/Starburst Records: Positive ID
If you've never had personal experience dealing with the criminal justice system in America, tighten your seatbelts, my friends, because its happening all around us in the age of Trumpism, where innocence is irrelevant, and failure to bow to the king is paramount. In our little fable shown here, our protagonist, vocalized by Penny Towers and with a song called Positive ID, Penny & Lar Duggan have memorialized and predicted what's happening now in our country. I see this free form jazz song as a powerful political statement in our current day and age of Trumpism where human rights are being trampled upon, where innocent people are being disappeared for simply disagreeing with the president, where vengeance is king and America is losing all the rights and liberties upon which it was founded. The more I've worked with this song, its music and its lyrical content and Penny's incredible performance, the more I've grown to appreciate its brilliance.

brand new single by Greg Johnson to be releaed in June

Its not unusual for my friend Greg to write a brand new song that reaches very deep down inside the depths of my soul, while at the very same time capturing the zeitgeist of what's happening here on planet earth. I'm a believer that we should sing like no one is listening and dance like no one is watching. I adore this song and felt compelled to dance to it. I love you Greg.

Candy Store
A modern rock music video. The song title "Candy Store" and the use of the lyric "Candy Store whore" in the lyrics is a metaphor for the flagrant abuses that Wall Street Titans inflict upon the American Public. Their frequent visits to the Candy Store and to the Candy Store whore are a metaphor for their frequent extravagant indulgences such as traveling by private jets, having multiple luxury homes around the work, hiding assets in off shore accounts, etc.

Jay's LoFi Music
My dear friends:

Like so many who have tried to earn a living wage in the music industry, I, too, have chased the dragon in this highly competitive field. Two years ago, I supplemented what I had been doing by developing and publishing music in the LoFi genre, which is particularly popular on Spotify. I am happy to report that as of this month, my LoFi music has reached sufficient streams to fund half of my goal of $3,000 per month in revenue. It's a whole new age in the music industry where it takes 300 +/- streams to earn one dollar of revenue. In the past, my own music has been interspersed with the music of rock star earners on playlists in order to get a leg up. Now, for the first time, I am promoting a playlist of all my own music under the "Jay's LoFi Music" playlist. If you dig chill, relaxing vibes, I invite you to check out my work on the following playlist:

Silly Girl
Silly Girl, my homage to Keith Urban's song "Stupid Boy"....

Many years ago when I began fumbling in the dark trying to understand what makes the difference between mediocrity and excellence in songwriting, I studied the works of Keith Urban. When I heard his song "Stupid Boy" with all of its self-deprecating honesty, I found my answer. I spent a year of my life studying how to write a song under the tutelage of a master. I tried to summon up all the best creativity I could, including trying to get in touch with my "feminine side" and wrote this, my homage to Keith Urban's "Stupid Boy" and I called it "Silly Girl". I hope you enjoy listening and reading what I came up with.
Pretty Sparrow
Greg Johnson & I are happy to share our newest song with you "Sparrow Pretty Sparrow", a song about a caged bird...but is it about much more than that??? This is our homage to all caged creatures of all kinds throughout all of history. From the caged bird that Maya Angelou wrote so eloquently about, to the young Mexican children caged by our malevolently narcissistic and racist excuse for a president, to the incarcerated innocents and unjustly incarcerated young black men in this country, to the slaves kidnapped and transported from Africa and forced into slave labor and, yes, even now to all of us worldwide caged in our homes for the noble purposes of flattening the curve of this pandemic.
Destination: Paradise
Destination: Paradise is an IslandVibe style of dreamlike fantasy by Coconuts & Moonbeams, a musical collaboration of Greg Johnson & Starbu5st Records.
The Chain
The Chain tells the story of a son raised in the Bayou by a father who's earned his livelihood and fed his family by cooking moonshine. Unfortunately, the old man imbibes his product too much and too frequently and he's a mean drunk. The story is told from the son's point of view who wishes to escape the pain, the shame of his father's mistreatment. Sung by the incredible Bobby Sahlen.

A Different Kind of Sleep
Notwithstanding the reality of the fact that only a small segment of the population are electronic industrial music fans, I cannot contain my excitement over how great I personally feel this production by myself, Ron Potter and Nathaniel Jones has turned out. This is music intended to be played at very LOUD volume. The musicality of this genre typically tells the story, but sometimes the lyrics are significant. Down to the very depths of his soul, this guy needs the kind of true restfulness and escape from the insanity of his world that only comes from a very special kind of sleep, which no matter how hard he tries, he cannot achieve. We're seeing inside the consciousness of a man who's perfect world where worries fade away is a fictional place that's been mangled by reality.

The Bitter End
The Bitter End is a hang banging electronic industrial rock piece from longtime collaborators Stuck With Green and Evan Zappa & the Necessity. The lyrics are written from the point of view of an infant child looking up at his parents and other admirers, but with the wisdom of Solomon, commenting on the big picture of life with expertise far beyond his age!

La Bruja ("The Witch")
In the annals of Mexican folklore, there is, perhaps, nothing more powerful than the story of La Bruja ("The Witch"). The Robles Sisters' masterful rendition of this centuries old folk song tells its story with powerful emotion.
Madam Liberty
As a small indie label representing & collaborating with artists from the USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina & Great Britain, Starburst Records is extremely concerned with the precipitous and disastrously rolled out refugee/immigration/Muslim travel ban recently implemented by the most unpopular president in American history. This is the subject matter of our latest music video featuring the song Madam Liberty by Johnny Starburst.
Keeper of the Truth
Rapazzi is an international musical songwriting/performance collaborative of artists from Mexico, Brazil & the USA. Its song "Keeper of the Truth", written in 2014 & released on its 4-25-2016 "Ready to Strike" album was written as a tongue in cheek satire without ever anticipating the dramatic political changes that were to come......



Keeper of the Truth

© 2014 Rapazzi



His warnings are inscrutable

His mysteries profound

A child devoid of principles

Unfettered and unbound

He grew beyond eternity

Was understood by all

The teacher of the universe

Stood proud and he stood tall



(chorus)

The keeper of the truth he is

With wisdom flowing free

Even fawning birds and foe

Bow to his majesty

Mankind no longer has to wait

To see why we're alive

All the answers on display

Truth's Keeper has arrived



Far beyond bigotry

Intolerance and hate

Impatient over ignorance &

Using fear as bait

Collectively inspiring

Consensus as a tool

Shutting out adversity

Changing all the rules



(repeat chorus)



Instrumental break



(repeat chorus)

Trapped starring the great Brazilian Artist Santolin
This amazing performance by the brilliantly talented Santolin of Brazil, elevates this song written collaboratively by Starburst Music of USA, Bobby & Leslie Sahlen of Mexico and Nery Bauer of Brazil from a meager effort into a stunning portrayal of alienation in society eating away at the very core of the human condition...a universal reality that spans the globe across all cultures, societies, religions, genders, and the like. I am dumbfounded and amazed!!
