Album Notes

As a followup from her extraordinary album Chillin' After Five, listeners begged for more, and here it is. Bickley's single "Endless Journey" keeps us gliding through space with unique artistry and sound. If you want to relax and dream, this song is another to add to the Bickley Rivera collection!

Bickley Rivera recently came on the music scene transporting the tenor steelpan (steeldrum, instrument of the Caribbean) to a new dimension with melodies fused in smooth jazz, chill, ambient and electronic styles. Songs from her album have been played extensively in the UK on such outlets as Graeme Holiday’s Jazz Funk Tuesdays and Gloucester FM, and have also been spun in Greece and many stations in the US. In addition, Rivera’s music has been heard on The Weather Channel’s forecast and is a regular part of the Muzak rotation programming, streamed through numerous public sites and hotels in Switzerland.

"The eclectic artist takes the pans into a more mainstream pop-jazz context with more exotic twists than the limes on the tropical bar counter. As if her stylistic diversity wasn’t enough—she grooves in Ibiza, jams in Brazil and lets you relax with some of the tastiest chill music I’ve ever heard.” –Jonathan Widran, music journalist

"This new, attractive young artist shows us that she knows her way around not only the pans and keys but how to comfortably intermingle her style with the type of magnetic magic that has propelled other artists with a vision to produce a solo signature touch ". –Ronald Jackson, Smooth Jazz Ride Publication

“Her music is ground-breaking!” - Nancy J. Reid and Lisa D. Smith, Big Blend Radio, Green Valley, AZ
