We are so happy and proud, that Mister Westcoast Joel Sarakula wrote an exclusive, new track just for our compilation. The latest album by the Australian born multi instrumentalist "Soft Focus" is his 9th, a mid-career album spanning his many influences and genres including Soft-Rock, Funk, Soul and Smooth Pop, all brought under the umbrella of his gentle gaze and a 'soft' aesthetic. Highlights include the two Shawn Lee (of Young Gun Silver Fox fame, also on our compilation with an exclusive track) produced tracks "I'll Get By Without You" and "Telephone Calls". This is a lovingly crafted album, well polished and it feels like the culmination of Sarakula's adventures in soulful soft-rock and his defining statement in the genre. While comparisons will be made with contemporary projects like Shawn Lee's Young Gun Silver Fox, Drugdealer, Benny Sings and Prep, echoes of soft-rock icons Ned Doheny, Boz Scaggs, Todd Rundgren and Michael Franks also ripple gently through the album.
