Auraiya 'Chronicles of Love' Album 🎵 Available Now on All Platforms" – 9 Tracks of Musical Therapy! A must-have for your playlist.
In a captivating blend of healing expertise and melodic mastery, Dr. Gayan Smith, also known as Auraiya, emerges as a dual force, seamlessly navigating the realms of medicine and music. Beyond her role as a healthcare professional, Auraiya embarked on a musical journey, driven by her passion for crafting songs and melodies. Her pandemic debut, "This Must Be Love," served as the inaugural chapter in this newfound venture, showcasing that her talents extend far beyond the medical field.
As a rising star, Auraiya is currently promoting her debut album, "Chronicles of Love," a testament to her belief in the therapeutic essence of music—an art form that she describes as a soothing balm for the soul.
However, amidst the musical symphony, Auraiya's journey took a poignant turn during her time at the Savanna-la-Mar General Hospital in Westmoreland. It was there that she formed a profound bond with a nurse, a colleague dedicated to the relentless care of COVID-19 patients. This nurse, a compassionate soul providing oxygen and comfort to those in need, succumbed to the relentless grip of the virus. The loss of her coworker became a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the urgency to pursue one's passions.
Reflecting on this painful experience, Auraiya shared with THE STAR, "We developed a strong bond as we worked closely together. I later learned that she passed away and I was devastated. It was the time when persons were dying, and she was always there giving the patients oxygen and just caring for them, and then she got the virus and the oxygen had run out, and she passed away. It then dawned on me how short and precious life was, and that we should just go for what we want."
This personal tragedy has become a driving force for Auraiya, infusing her musical journey with a deeper sense of purpose.
As Auraiya sets the stage for her 9 track album, "Chronicles of Love," she strategically highlights her latest release—the cover of "All My Life." This dynamic collaboration with Jah Fabio infuses Spanish elements, resulting in a musical masterpiece that transcends geographical borders. Jah Fabio presence in Jamaica, facilitated by the Ministry of Culture, Gender, and Entertainment in collaboration with the Mexican government, signifies a commitment to fostering cultural exchange between Latin America and Jamaica, thereby enriching the reggae-india cultural connection.
Auraiya deliberate emphasis on the "All My Life" cover aligns with her objective of gradually introducing diverse elements of her musical repertoire. This strategic approach invites audiences to savor the cultural fusion before delving into the broader spectrum of her upcoming album.
Join Auraiya on this rhythmic odyssey, where healing hearts and bridging cultures converge in a mesmerizing symphony. Stay tuned for musical narratives that navigate the intricacies of love and relationships, resonating with the soulful vibrations of Jamaica and Latin America. And remember, "The Chronicles of Love" is not only a musical journey but a universal experience, available on all major streaming platforms.

Alicia Keys A Journey Through Music, Life, and Achievement
At the tender age of seven, Alicia Keys began formal piano lessons, and it soon became apparent that she had an innate gift for the instrument. She was not just playing the piano; she was communicating through it. Her connection with the keys was profound, and her ability to convey complex emotions through music was extraordinary for someone of her age.
The Making of a Star Alicia Keys' exceptional musical talent was complemented by her academic excellence. She attended the Professional Performing Arts School in Manhattan, where she majored in choir. It was during her time at this school that she discovered her passion for singing and songwriting.
Her early musical influences were diverse, ranging from classical composers like Chopin to iconic artists like Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, and Stevie Wonder. This eclectic blend of inspirations would later shape her unique style, blending elements of classical, soul, R&B, and hip-hop.
A pivotal moment in Alicia Keys' life came when she signed with Columbia Records at the age of 15. However, her time with the label proved challenging, as they tried to mold her into a conventional pop star, stifling her creative freedom. Frustrated by the constraints imposed upon her, she decided to part ways with Columbia.
"Songs in A Minor" and Breakthrough Alicia Keys' determination to create music on her terms led her to Arista Records, where she met her future manager, Jeff Robinson. Under Robinson's guidance, she embarked on a journey to produce her debut album, "Songs in A Minor." Released in 2001, this album catapulted her to stardom.
"Songs in A Minor" was a revelation. It showcased Alicia Keys' immense talent as a singer, songwriter, and pianist. The album's lead single, "Fallin'," became an instant hit and won her critical acclaim. Her soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics struck a chord with audiences worldwide.
The 44th Annual Grammy Awards in 2002 Alicia keys wins (5) Grammys Song of the Year: "Fallin" Best New Artist, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, Best R&B Song and Best R&B Album: Songs In A Minor. So far, she's earned a staggering 15 Grammy wins for works such as "Fallin'," "No One," "Empire State of Mind," and "If I Ain't Got You."
Musical Evolution Alicia Keys' subsequent albums continued to demonstrate her artistic evolution. "The Diary of Alicia Keys" (2003) featured more mature and socially conscious themes, including songs like "If I Ain't Got You" and "My Boo" with Usher. This album further solidified her position as one of the most significant voices in R&B and soul music.
In 2007, she released "As I Am," which included hits like "No One" and "Like You'll Never See Me Again." These songs showcased her ability to craft emotionally charged ballads while also exploring contemporary R&B and pop sounds.
Alicia Keys' musical journey extended beyond solo work. She collaborated with numerous artists, including Jay-Z, on the chart-topping "Empire State of Mind" (2009). This anthem paid homage to her beloved New York City and became an instant classic.
A Renaissance Woman Alicia Keys is not confined to the world of music; she is a true Renaissance woman, excelling in multiple domains. Her acting career took off when she appeared in films like "Smokin' Aces" (2006) and "The Secret Life of Bees" (2008). Her performances were lauded by critics and audiences alike, proving her versatility as an artist.
In addition to her acting pursuits, Alicia Keys is an accomplished author. Her book, "Tears for Water: Songbook of Poems and Lyrics" (2004), offers readers a glimpse into her creative process and the depth of her emotions. Through her writing, she shares personal insights and reflections on life, love, and art.
Philanthropy and Activism Alicia Keys' compassion extends far beyond her music and art. She is a passionate advocate for various social causes and has used her platform to effect positive change. Her philanthropic efforts include:
Alicia Keys' Enduring Legacy In the world of music and entertainment, Alicia Keys stands as a beacon of talent, resilience, and compassion.

He continued, "I'm calling on all of my colleagues in the music industry who are singing songs that are promoting violence and promiscuity, to turn a new page and start recording songs with positive messages. I know some people will say I sound simplistic, but the music has a great influence on the mind of the people. So, we need to make music that inspire them to do the right things."
Toogosnay is currently promoting two new singles, Forgein Exchange and Life Style. Both were produced by Natral Enterprise label and released on May 10.
"I'm pleased with the response that my new singles are receiving. I'm grateful for all the support that my music is getting from DJs all over the world. I also have to big up Natral Enterprise for seeing my talent and believing in me," said Toogosnay.
Toogosnay, whose given name is Michael Phillips, hails from Trench Town in Kingston. He launched his recording in 2014 with the release of a single titled Westbank Family, featuring D_Ballad - Pop Dat on the Rave Entertainment imprint.
