Osaru's Melodic Menagerie Of Muse

WINSTON-SALEM, NC (Top40 Charts/ Osaru Official Website/ DreamStar Music) - Home with the Keys is Osaru's latest release and a follow-up to Home; his successful debut CD released in 2008. Home with the Keys is a musical evolution for Osaru and the result of requests for instrumental versions of the tracks off of Home. In his latest project, Home with the Keys, Osaru creates a smooth jazz journey through the course of ten-tracks, unlocking a melodic menagerie of muse.

Home with the Keys exhibits Osaru's songwriting ability and finesse on the keyboard. 'The album summarizes my comfortable relationship with the keys. I feel 'at home' on the instrument,' says Osaru. The keyboard allows him to tap into the unbounded creative potential of each song. Like a master painter, Osaru's keyboard is his easel while the sheet music is his canvas. He 'paints' with a unique aural ambience. Within each track a new soundscape emerges, with an unsullied innovative style.

Home with the Keys contains all-original tracks that were all written, arranged and mixed by Osaru into a plethora of various styles that display influences from Kenny G and George Benson to Earl Klugh and Steve Cole. The album opens with 'Made up my Mind,' with its unique urban-based background vocals and hauntingly seductive sax. With a Baby Face styled backbeat, 'Home' mesmerizes with subliminal and sublime riffs. Hints of R and B overlay jazzy melodic hooks in 'Downtown' and 'Last Night.' 'Let's Begin' cleverly flaunts Osaru's talent in arrangement and composition with a vibrant mix or urban funk and jazz.

'I wanted to keep the listener guessing. There's a story behind each song that I had to ensure was maximally expressed,' states Osaru. Indeed, with its blend of slow jams and mid-tempo cuts there is a song that fits every human emotion. Osaru's jazz journey is a twisting and surprising one with unpredictable creative intersections on each avenue of style and leads directly to Home with the Keys.
