"BOREAL SUN is a collaboration between vocalist Liselotte Östblom and producer/multi-instrumentalist Matt Roberts. Formed in London, UK, BOREAL SUN showcases the very best talent of the city’s thriving jazz, groove and independent music scenes. Their debut EP ‘Dawn’ features contributions from bassist/producer Robin Mullarkey (Brotherly, Jacob Collier), saxophonist Emma Rawicz, percussionist Yahael Camara Onono (Balimaya Project), drummer Josh Blackmore (Troyka, SiZE) and many more.
The project combines syncopated grooves, sweeping orchestrations, uplifting vocal hooks, powerful lyrical themes and explorative improvisations. The result is a rich, captivating sonic landscape that speaks to the breadth of influences that have informed the duo. Influences that range from the 1970’s fusion excursions of Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, to London’s Broken Beat and Acid Jazz movements of the 1990’s. But make no mistake, BOREAL SUN present an unmistakably contemporary sound, with a unique scope and depth of musicality."

"We’re excited to debut the release of our first studio video filmed in 2022, and single available on select streaming platforms, “Black is Beautiful”, composed by Nicholas Payton, the title track of our upcoming debut album from the Black Is Beautiful Experience collective and Rhymshot recording label. Inspired by photographer and activist Kwame Brathwaite’s iconic portrait of his wife and original Grandassa Model Sikolo Brathwaite, this piece pays tribute to the legacy and enduring influence of the Black Is Beautiful movement and the pioneering Grandassa Models, a group of women who challenged and redefined beauty standards in the 1960s by fearlessly embracing natural Black beauty.
Featuring the powerful spoken word of Sikolo Brathwaite, this piece is brought to life by the extraordinary talent of Marcus Gilmore, a phenomenal Black woman-led ensemble and Brandee Younger who appears courtesy of Impulse! Records.
In honor of Women's History Month, we pay homage to the trailblazing Black women artists who used art and fashion as tools of empowerment and expression 62 years ago and laid the groundwork for future generations to celebrate Black beauty and heritage."

Navigating Copyright and Fair Use
Copyright law serves as the cornerstone of intellectual property protection, governing the use and distribution of creative works, including music recordings. In vocal removal practice, it's essential to navigate the nuances of copyright law. Moreover, you must adhere to principles of fair use. Transformative works, such as remixes and mashups, may be protected under fair use provisions. However, it's crucial to consider factors such as purpose, nature, amount, and effect on the potential market for the original work.
Understanding the Legality
Respecting Artists' Rights
Above all, we must respect the rights of artists and creators during vocal removal activities. Artists invest their time, talent, and resources into creating music. Hence, it's crucial to honor their work ethically, musically and legally. Similar to when we sample music on a commercial music release, pay the same respect. This means to seek permission from rights holders when appropriate and credit artists properly. Also, refrain from activities that may compromise their rights or undermine their creativity.
With a conscientious and ethical mindset toward vocal isolation, we can truly harness its creative potential. Simultaneously, we uphold principles of integrity and respect for artists' rights. Let's continue to explore the possibilities of vocal removal with a commitment to legality. Not only that, maintain ethics, and artistic integrity, ensuring that our creative endeavors enrich the musical landscape while honoring the contributions of musicians.
