What is the Steem Music Alliance? (SMA)
The Steem Music Alliance (SMA) is a community-based network platform that connects musical creatives, as well as, music lovers. We offer the opportunity for people to engage, collaborate, and grow.
We are a dynamic, collaborative group of over 500+ members with the goal to help each other in the pursuit of reaching our potential and dreams.
With eight (8) contest and challenges supported by the SMA, we aim to provide the maximum recognition, feedback, and rewards to the amazing creators of music on this platform. Music Today is another one of those initiatives to help achieve this goal.
Our curators scoured the #music, #sma , and other music-related tags to find some incredible music-related content to showcase and highlight to the community.

I'm Not the Only One | by: @silentscreamer
Wow what an incredible cover from @silentscreamer.
Absolutely love the range in her voice and how she hits certain notes with such passion (around 1:25 & 2:27 for example) its contagious.
I can definitely understand why Block Mountain picked you as part of the primary line-up your talent and passion for singing is so evident.
Excited to listen to more music from you. And glad to see the kind and positive words your have for the Block Mountain project. Definitely a great Steemit music project.
Thanks again for inspiring us with this vocal performance wow.

Midnight Lude| by: @yusaymon
Wow what an original song from @yusaymon. And all made in Garageband get itttttt.
Love that guitar (like at 1:05) you recreate definitely sets an awesome tone for the song.
And those background hymns/vocals love that extra element it adds.
Appreciate you sharing this with the community it no doubt raised my vibrations while listening. Much love and respect.

Flyin Path | by: @davenavarro
Ayyyyyyy yessssss @davenavarro what a way to raise our vibrations.
Those drums set such a tone and that sound you bring in around 0:52 love that.
Appreciate that segment starting at 1:43 with that one sound dominating and then bring in that sound to keep us going.
And what an extra sound you bring in around 2:39.
Much appreciation for the time and effort that went into creating this.
