A wonderful blend of smooth jazz, funk, dance and world music centralized through the piano, acoustic guitar and the occasional synth lead..
ALL of the compositions you hear here start with one simple truth - without God, I could do nothing but because of HIM, all this is possible!
Each and every effort is a serenade to Him, as I owe Him every song.
Over the years, I've learned new things about song composition and have always been willing to push the boundaries of sound. I was trained as a musician and recording engineer as a child, learning to put together melodies when I was only 7 years old. This was at the height of jazz fusion where lead instrumental improvisation was king. Although I was trained early on to read and write sheet music, this improvisation has shaped my writing. Now, I write from my heart.
The songs represented here are the culmination of my ventures. Each new song is a lesson in itself as I am a never ending student of music, sound and the new and emerging recording processes. As you listen, keep in mind these are my intimate conversations with God. My conversations are sometimes upbeat, sometimes somber, but never boring. In all, I share these songs so that you may enjoy the music.

A great beat blended with lovely textures and layers of
electronic emotions. The touch with the choir raises all
into the mood which you, marvelous musician Arlen, intended to take the listener. BRAVOS ON THIS ONE!!!!!

An outstanding acoustic guitar sonority track with a passionate orchestral atmosphere that expresses the global human emotion. Great rhythmic feel…a taste of today’s R&B offerings. Love the genre blend of your work Arlen. Exalted Stuff!!!

Listening to this piece reminds me to work more with my intro's..
Beatyful intro, takes you nicely in the tune with beatyful acoustic in lead and with very nice choir-arrangements in the soundscape. Good melodic theme which sits after the song is finish.

To me, this is a nice upbeat blend of trance, world, soft rock and acoustic elements. Interesting to hear these genres come together so effortlessly. Like Jude mentioned, I liked the tremolo strings and the choir was a pleasing addition as well. Good stuff bro!
Another wonderful production! I love the guitar...it's so relaxing and atmospheric, especially when combined with all the other textures. Very nice!
