EDITOR’s CHAIR

Welcome to 2023’s second issue of the AudioKeyREVIEWS! Magazine (US). Needless to say, it has been an incredibly busy time taking it to production, given that its sibling—AudioKeyREVIEWS! Magazine, Canada—births this very same month. It has, nonetheless, been a labor of love.

How often, I wonder, can one engage and fuse the learned skills, abilities, one’s loves— writing, music, audio, art and design—into a calling, a vocation, while enjoying every last minute of things? Well, if I had to take a census of my family, relatives, friends, etc., not very often, and that is quite unfortunate. Given my own experience, I will continue to encourage that search for a synergistic commingling of the things that one loves in one’s own vocation, or even life path.

There are a host of ‘new things’ coming up! For instance, we will introduce a more encompassing multimedia experience within the pages or our magazines, and new reviewers, columnists, and editors will also be gracing the pages of our magazines and our websites.

In addition to reviews of some quite exceptional products, in this issue we will introduce a talented lyricist, songwriter, and producer—Mickel London—via an interview with AKRMedia Editor and Columnist, Rain Jordan. We’ll also witness the making of his latest song—“A Higher Love.”

Well, I hope that you enjoy this issue, and its audio and music reviews, its art and interviews, and the growth of our multimedia via a range of new videos in the coming issues. Oh, and please do visit our Canadian website and magazine.

Cheers,

K.E. Heartsong Editor-in-Chief
