Music for the Ultimate Holiday Spirit

It is weird how time changes and we change along with the time that keeps moving forward.

Years ago, it used to bother me that the Christmas holiday became so materialized that it was being exploited so early.

The music started blaring super early and everywhere you would go, there would be decorations and displays of holidays in your face, way before even Thanksgiving; as like it is now. I walked into my local supermarket and the music over the airwaves had me singing down the aisles like I was the star of the show on a stage on Broadway singing my favorite carols. It put the spirit of the holidays in my heart; super early but here we are watching holiday-themed movies and enjoying it.

I won’t have the holiday heart this year. I am ready to celebrate and even feel like I might be getting into the pomp and circumstance of decorating. So keeping in the spirit of the holiday music that always seems to get me into a great mood, I created a music playlist filled with some of the holiday songs that have caught my heart lately and I wanted to share it with you with hopes that it might get you into the mood and perhaps you will enjoy listening to. Perhaps you will enjoy it so much that you'll feel like playing it at your next holiday party or while you are riding in your automobile or while decorating your tree or throught the season. Here is the link: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0OdsBVvfiWvF4NnCqNslL1?si=fdda7baa586e4a77



The following is a list of some ofthe songs that are featured on this Christmas-Themed holiday playlist:

 

1.      “All I Want for Christmas” by Mariah Carey is a fun song with great vocals and a wonderful choir singing lyrics that almost dances charismatically to the up-beat music.  It has always been a favorite of mine since it first came out and I think that it still is until this day.

 

2.      “Jingle Bells” by Ella Fitzgerald is a cool, jazzy version of an old popular holiday anthem that is adored by young and old. I like the swinging nature of this tune and her syncopated voicings that make this song come alive in a really awesome way.

 

3.      “Santa Baby” by Taylor Swift is a nice guitar-heavy tune that I like because I can see this song getting a whole dance party on the floor moving their bodies and enjoying the groove on their feet.

 

 

4.      “Last Christmas” by Wham never seems to get old to me. No matter how many times I listen to it, I love it more. It is an enjoyable song to listen to and I love it a lot.

 

5.      “This Christmas” by Destiny’s Child is a nice trio version of this beautiful Christmas tune. I like it because they made it their own and it sounds really nice to listen to with its bop and its pomp.

 

6.      “Snowman” by Sia. I like different songs that are not traditional but are good tunes that are out of the

ordinary and still keep the holiday in the center of it all. Her creativity and voice shines strong int his tune and it rings beautifully.

 

7.      “Jesus is the Reason” by Stephanie Jeannot is a nice tune because of the harmonic value of it and the music is really hot. I also like the singer’s voice. The hook is super catchy and not a regular everyday carol that you hear all the time.

 

 

8.      “Santa Doesn’t Know You Like I Do” by Sabrina Carpenter. I mean, who isn’t loving what Sabrina Carpenter has been doing with her music lately. This song is just all that and definitely a song that will have people singing along like all the other songs that have hit the waves.

 

9.      “Winter Wonderland” by Pentatonix featuring Tori Kelly is just a song that will make you want to listen because of the amazing harmonies and arrangements on this song. Really great version of this lovely holiday tune.

 

10.   “O Holy Night” by Norah Jones. I like the jazzy smoothness of this tune and her scratchy vocals that make it a cool listen. Plus the hits of the music that seem to make this song dramatic and exciting.

 

Other songs featured on this playlist include, “Joy to the World” by Nat King Cole, “Sleigh Ride” by Kelly Clarkson, “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” by the Jackson 5, “Feliz Navidad” by Jose Feliciano, “Let it Snow” by Luis Fonti and more.

Here is to a fantastic holiday season ahead!

Enter in Week 2 of 2023 & Beyond

One week into 2023 and here we are eight days in deep.

The year just started and it seems like an entire year already passed by. Why you may ask?

I experienced a week full of work, a wake, a funeral, and a death all in a week’s time.

 

And as we enter into the second week, I just think about all the good times that I have experienced before this moment that just seemed to add a bit of weight that I did not expect to have to carry into this new year, although no one knows the day nor the hour.

As I step into this brand-new week, I think about all the blessings that seem minor which we often overlook.  It is hard to not acknowledge the gift of oxygen that God breathes into us when we watch a person in a hospital bed with tubes down his/her throat because they cannot breathe on their own. The ability to breathe on your own is something to not take for granted. I think about people who get sick from the effects of a stroke that might cause them to be unable to walk, talk or to even use the bathroom on their own. How often do we thank God for the gift of having a voice that we can use to sing, speak up for ourselves, to talk about things that are important to us or to just simply be in our right minds?

The older I get, the more I realize how short life really is and how blessed I am to see another day and to be surrounded by loved ones. This is the year to tell the people you care about that you love them. Do not ever forsake those moments of care because you never know the day or the hour that someone’s last breath may be. Love your family. Love yourself. Pray and bless the people that you care about and share the joys of life the way that you would want to receive love from others.

Life is short. Tomorrow is not promised or guaranteed. The next moment might be your Last. Live in the moment and appreciate it. May you be blessed today and always. I dedicate my song "Enjoy Life" to you as I make my mantra for each day of 2023: blessed to see another day; because I truthfully am.   https://youtu.be/alV2ULnr9z8

Enjoy life and experience it while you still have time.

New Music Tuesday: Check out NYC Singer/songwriter Stephanie Jeannot's new tune "Jesus is the Reason"

New Music Tuesday:
"Jesus is the Reason” by Stephanie Jeannot

   A song writter to make sure that while we are remembering to decorate for the holidays, and to sing carols, and to buy present for our loved ones, that we not forget that Jesus is the reason for the season.

Songwriter Wednesday: "Time Machine"

Have you ever wished that you had a time machine to be wherever you wanted to be in the blink of an eye?

No more 80-mile drives to a far distant place just to get into the things that your heart says yes to but your energy says, maybe another time. Instead, you could just climb into a contraption, press a few buttons, and boom, you are there.

You wouldn’t have to rely on airlines and hope that their staff doesn’t all get sick that day. You do not have to sit in rush hour traffic hoping that whatever mess is before you on the journey home will clear up. No more wishing to go back in time to revisit a person or to relive a moment. You could just climb into the time machine and Bam.  

That is what I was thinking about when I wrote the song “Time Machine.” After a long work week, I want to be like the road runner and zoom home in a flash. I wish I had a “Time Machine” to be where I want to be and to do what I want to do when I want to do it.

If you could relate to any of this, please check out my song “Time Machine.”

Wish I Had a "Time Machine" by Stephanie Jeannot & Mike LeShore

Poettues: Lake Street Station

Poettues 

Lake Street Station

by Stephanie Jeannot

Weekday vibes in the midst of the rush

Through the CTA Station, music sprinkling down on us

A guy spitting bars on the crowded platform

Over an ocean wave of bass thumps satiating the core

You could hear the refreshing sound of the buskers blazing

I pulled my phone out to take a cameo of their sound exchanging

I caught the fever and all I wanted to do was sing along with them

And so, while the rapper spat, I hummed and started ad-libbing

We vibed until the El came chugging into the station

I almost didn’t want to board because I was really feeling ‘em

It was a scene that reminded me of NYC, making me feel like I was home

Something else to add to the love of Chicago, from these experiences that I own

__________________________________________________________________________________

The poem was based on my explorations of Chicago via the CTA; perfect for Poetry Tuesday. 

Every time I am in Chicago, riding the El is on my bucket list of things I want to do
and so, I do it and I always end up seeing something else that fascinates my eyes.

Also, while here on my downtime, I am experimenting using various apps to complete short video editing projects.

What's Happening with JNote Music

 

This year seems to be speeding by with excessive speed.

 

It feels almost as if it were yesterday that the ball dropped into 2022 and we brought in the new year with screams of joy and hopes for a different season than the pandemic one that interrupted our flowing lives in so many different ways. But I am looking forward to the second half of the year that is about to embrace us with hopes that it will bring about much better times in all areas of our lives.

Celebrate with Chynah Presents Two Poems by Stephanie Jeannot

I am passionate about writing and whenever I get the chance to do it, I try to punctuate my time with meaningful writing. I like to flex my words with a pen and add it to a blank page and create things whether it is poetry, song or whatever writing thing comes to play. In fact, poetry has been a part of my quiddity even before I started writing songs.

Often times my mind is thick with thoughts and ideas, and in my own unique way, I erupt into verse. It restores me back to life and I am ready to take on the world wholeheartedly.

I must show gratitude to my sistah gurl, Chynah, who did not see it 
as robbery to use her platform to extend kindness towards me. She not only mentioned my poetry collection, And Then There Was the Music: Poetry and an Essay, but she read two of my poems, “The Universal Language” and “Make War Not Music” to her large, receptive audience.

I invite you to check out the video in which these poetic works were featured here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFl9RwqRUMc

If you are interested in reading more of the poetry featured in the book, you can get it from Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1977095747/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i5

I Love the Summertime

#tunefortuesday

“I Love the Summertime.” How about you? 

Here is a moving collage of different clips from how my summer is going. Check it out here: 

I Love the Summertime

I’ve spent most of my summer in Illinois and also got to visit Michigan and Wisconsin so far, as part of a musical expedition with my music writing partner and friend, John Mueller. It’s been cool so far with still more to explore. I hope yours is going swell also. 

You can hear the full length of this song “I Love the Summertime” with lyrics by Stephanie Jeannot and music by Stephanie Jeannot & Prrrl and more of my original songs wherever music streams. 

Thank you so much for reading. May God bless the rest of your summer. 

Happy Memorial Day

 Happy Memorial Day.

I remember as a kid, my parents venturing off to Connecticut for this annual tag sale that used to take place and for every episode of it, there was rain involved. 

We got the load of rain as well as the cold to come with it.  I think this is the coldest spring I have ever experienced. Not just the weather, but all the people that I have lost in this past year and a half; it seems almost like an unending season. RIP to all those who lost their lives to this pandemic. You were soldiers in your own right, taking on life and respectively doing whatever it was that God purposed you to do, only for your life to be cut short by the circumstances of COVID19. 

My condolences to all the family and loved ones of those fallen soldiers, as well as the ones lost fighting in wars for our freedoms. We salute and honor you today. 

And if you identify with me and feel as if this actually is "The Coldest Spring Ever," please check out John Mueller's and my tune on Soundcloud enitlted "The Coldest Spring Ever." PErhaps it will help to add some warmth to this Memorial Day. https://soundcloud.com/stephanay-jnote/the-coldest-spring-ever

Thank you so much for checking out my blogpost. God bless you and peace!!!

Happy International Jazz Day

A surge of excitement comes over me when I hear the impeccably smooth sounds of jazz flowing out of my Behringer 328i speakers. The joy of the music takes over and I am caught up in the rapture of the passionate intensity of it all. 

There is an assortment of enthusiastic jazz artists from all around the globe that shift my mind to peace when I hear their musical expression. The diversity of style from jazz great to jazz great gives me a pure passion to listen to their razzle dazzle. Sarah Vaughan is one of my all-time favorite singers. Her cultural contribution has had a profound impact on me and I often find myself playing her awe inspiring works on repeat and echoing her sweet refrains.

And so, as an artist, anytime I get to vocalize and to dress up a melody with my voice, it makes me feel invigorated. Each opportunity is a unique moment in time within itself. I get excited to progress towards a live performance.

I enjoy prancing about the stage and trying to circulate my energy through the room. There is nothing quite comparable to the feeling you get when you are fully immersed into what you love to do most. It is like a force of positivity taking over. Even more, when I get to echo my body of original works before a crowd.

In honor of International Jazz day and as we come to a conclusion of Jazz Appreciation Month, I hope your heart will be into checking out my jazz tune.

Its’s entitled “You are the One” and was written by (me) Stephanie Jeannot and John Mueller. It was released on the album, The Stephanie Jeannot & John Mueller Project on October 10, 2020 and this is the video to the link: https://youtu.be/gjhhtZYn6No

Thank you so much for reading my blogpost. Happy International Jazz Day.

BOP ALONG!

The Indie Music Show Airs Every Tuesday Evening at 9PM EST/ 8PM CST on mixlr.com/jnotemusic

 

What songwriter doesn’t have ribbons of desire for unique songs to burst into bloom? And what artist or musician doesn’t enjoy the aesthetic appeal of opportunities to have synergy with other creative beings?

I don’t know about you, but I love to hear a bass growling in a live setting. Don’t get me wrong; I guess it has become the thing to be plugged into the digital realm and to fulfill your genuine passion through a Zoom meeting every now and again, especially in these times but, there is nothing like when the melody flows and my gilded wings can unfold right there in the intimate setting of a live, innovative environment.

There is something special about putting your effort, originality and skill into the harmonious menu of a repertoire meant to be performed live. Is that just the way I think or is it a thought that other musicians and those who have a true cultural enjoyment of music thinks?

If perhaps we have the same way of thinking, after you experience the pulchritude of the stunning sunset this evening and you start to drown in the evening’s moonlight, I invite you to engage with NYC musician/songwriter, Stephanie Jeannot and cohost Chicago bassist/songwriter, John Mueller for the newest episode of THE INDIE MUSIC SHOW airing this evening at 9PM EST/ 8PM CST on http://mixlr.com/jnotemusic

What will you hear?  A shared thirst for all things music. We launch conversations about the practice of music, the study of music, the performance and recording of our music and some of the many artists that do music with some beautiful indie sounds sprinkled into the mix.

We dive headlong into it every Tuesday evening at 9PM EST/ 8PM CST and I hope that this blogpost might fan a flame of interest in you to take time out of your schedule this evening and log on to http://mixlr.com.jnotemusic to listen.

Until then, Peace.

Help Request...

 

I am a passionate R&B/Soul artist full of lyrical color and vocal dexterity to bring hope, balance, restoration, and self-empowerment to people seeking to be organically uplifted. My music marries a love of creative energy, a powerhouse voice, and an appreciation for the culture and art of writing. I believe that the songs I write can change the world and positively affect people.

I enjoy talking through my music and saying things that are in my heart that I probably wouldn’t be able to say with just mere words. The different things that I unleash through writing represents my voice for the world.

I publish sounds to share to the world because I have a strong sense of purpose and passion for music, singing and writing songs and I find enjoyment in collaborating with other artists to craft new melodies that move people and so it is my mission to create an emotional connection with those willing to take a chance to listen to the sounds that I have created.

About a year ago, I decided to venture into a collaborative project with Chicago based musician and songwriter, John Mueller, and together, during the pandemic quarantine season, we wrote a number of songs. Including an album of 13 songs which was released last October to all streaming platforms. You can check out our project here:

 

My mission in writing this blog today is to request your help in getting our songs in front of audiences around the country. Due to the pandemic, we have yet to come together in unity to share our music before a broader spectrum of people who need and can benefit from our live sounds and performances. All our sharing efforts thus far have been virtual.

My goal for the coming months is for us to join together to perform our original material. If you are reading this, please consider donating towards my Gofundme campaign. I ask you to take a few moments to read further details about the campaign here: gf.me/u/zqdspb

and hopefully you will feel as if it is a worthy cause to donate to.

 

Thank you so much for your precious time and God bless you!   

Thank God it's Friday!!!

How many times have we heard or said the phrase, TGIF?

Yes! Thank God it's Friday.

Thank God I'm Favored

or maybe you said...

Thank God it's flurrying. 

Praying for all the homeless and the elderly and those with no heat and those in transit to and from work in this wintry mix. Be safe out there everyone. 

Definitely looking forward to "Friday Night."

"Friday Night" is a song by NYC singer/songwriter Stephanie Jeannot and Chicago Based Bassist/songwriter John Mueller featuring the illustrious NYC hypeman Bruffdacrowdpleaser. It was released on the October 10, 2020 The Stephanie Jeannot & John Mueller Project. 

It is a song about working folks experiencing a desire for the weekend. If that is you, maybe you can relate to that Friday feeling. Hopefully, you will listen to our tune on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/xVvJPe_HYig

Thank you for reading/listening and have a blessed and wonderful weekend; 

God willing! 

Prompted by Three-by-Three, 75 and Punching the Clock

Lately I have had it entrenched in my mind that writing suits my desire. I am steering forward in 2021 firmly fixed on the idea that it is imperative for me to put pen to paper more often.

I heard that a writer should simply start the process by jotting down anything. Could this be a lasting routine in my life? I hope so. And I also hope that as the days progress, that I will make the routine stick by doing a lot more with my love for writing.

I have come across a couple of different writing ideas that motivated me to write today. For one, the importance of consistency is at the forefront of my mind. And that is when I came across two prompts that I combined in one; also adding in a writing idea from another source of information that is not so much of a prompt.

Robert Lee Brewer who is the senior editor of Writer’s Digest has a Wednesday Poetry Prompt 

every Wednesday, and today’s prompt is three-of-a-kind. And so, I wrote a poem with each 

verse being exactly three lines. Second, on my to-do-list, I added an idea found in the book, 

How to Get Great Freelance Clients: Learn how to earn more — find quality clients and get the gig (Freelance Writers Den Book 3) by Carol Tice, Linda Formichelli and Chris Marlow which is to tell a story in just 75 words.     

The poetry prompt for three-for-three was written in 75 words.  Third, for every day of the year is a bizarre or unique holiday. Today is Punching the Clock Day. The three-for-three poem I wrote in 75 words has to do with punching the clock. And so, I wrote the poem Punching the Clock. Tell me what you think:

___________________________________________________________________

 

Punching the Clock

by Stephanie Jeannot

Besides doodling around on my free time

I punch the clock everyday

As part of my daily routine.

 

I work with children

who demand my attention

to who I try to influence their thinking profoundly.

 

I walk in with my quiet regal presence

With the heightened expectation

That I’ll get through to them.

 

Who knew of the Herculean challenge

That would bring on the Working Woman Blues

When they do whatever instead of simply listening.

_____________________________________________________________

With this poem in mind, I teamed up with John Mueller from Chicago, IL, to write a song” about being a woman in the work force entitled Working Woman Blues. If you are interested in hearing it, check it out on YouTube Music here: https://youtu.be/poznZy6eDso

It was fun to write because I always wanted to write a blues type of tune and I was able to talk about some of the things I have seen in my 9-5 experiences that I think many can relate to. I also got a chance to get a bit freer with my piano playing enough to add a piano solo to it. 

I’m no Elton John on the piano yet though I actually fell in love with the piano in 2020 and ever since been trying to enhance is and so during the quarantine, I had ample time to hone my writing skills in all areas, including writing compositions, and I am more than grateful for that. The song is featured on our pandemic musical project The Stephanie Jeannot & John Mueller Project which was released on October 10, 2020, and is the first of 13 tracks that are featured on the album.  

Thank you so much for reading my journey. God bless and enjoy your day! 

The Indie Music Show Airs This Tuesday, January 6, 2021 at 9PM EST/ 8PM CST with your hosts Stephanie Jeannot & Johnny J

 

Have you heard of the Indie Music Show?

It is an on-line radio show that airs each and every Tuesday evening at 9PM EST/ 8PM CST on The English Connection Media with your hosts Stephanie Jeannot from Brooklyn, NY and John Mueller from Chicago, IL.

Every week, the hosts come thick with words and have endless fun discussing a broad variety of topics and playing some beautiful indie songs that might peg your interest. This week’s topic is on the art of songwriting.

Nobody follows the same recipe when writing a song. Each person has their own way of approaching the creative process. The sounds you hear flooding through your speakers when you are listening to a tune went through a series of colorful actions by the composer, songwriter, and vocalist.

What inspired them? Were the lyrics written first or the music? How did they come up with the chord changes? What instrument or song was a source of inspiration? Did the writing process begin with a prompted idea? 

One thing is for sure; writing songs requires a lot of time and patience. You write the song then tweak it and can become hermitish because of the focus that a producer of a tune may have trying to correct and smooth out the problems.

The show hosts always have a jolly time interacting with each other and discussing whatever topic they cover. Hopefully you will join into the discussion. Tune in this Tuesday evening at 9PMEST/ 8PM CST on http://theenglishconnectionmedia or http://mixlr.com/jnotemusic to listen to the show. It is definitely worth the listen.

I’d also like to let you know that if you are an independent artists interested in being on this show to talk about your music, please send an email to jnotemusic@gmail.com and hopefully we can get you on the show.

Looking forward to connecting with you this Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 9PMEST/ 8PMCST for the Indie Music Show on http://theenglishconnectionmedia.com. The show can also be heard at http://mixlr.com/jnotemusic
