New Zealand has always been an underrated hub for artistic excellence. Much of this likely has to do with its comparative geographical isolation but, as technological progress continues condensing our world, New Zealand’s far-flung status fades away. Singer/songwriter Robin Kelly has built a growing reputation as one of the island nation’s gifted exports and his

Never Meant to Last is Random Parade’s new full length studio album and should advance Gregory Christopher’s reputation as one of indie music’s most promising songwriters. It goes beyond understanding; Christopher doesn’t merely grasp what makes modern iterations of alternative rock and punk, in all its subgenres, click. He effortlessly applies what he knows, mixes a

The band Wreckless Strangers sound like they hail from the deepest American South rather than Southern California’s sunny climes. The band name, particularly “strangers”, and location immediately recalled Merle Haggard’s seminal and longtime accompaniment The Strangers, but this six-piece doesn’t make music anything like that. Their brand of “California Americana Soul” is the end result

Ella Blicker, the songstress behind “Don’t Got Time” and “Let Me Be the Girl” is honing on the person that has her back in her latest single, “Owe It All”. Captivating and coming across as a great, mid-tempo pop track, “Owe It All” has semblances of Joni Mitchell meets Fiona Apple meets Haim. Blicker’s musical

Equally elegant and well-controlled, the vocal that graces the strings in the song “How Did You Get in My Heart” stands out as one of the finer elements to behold in the new album Timeless by Bettman & Halpin, but it’s hardly the lone gem in this treasure chest. Using melodies as their guide, Bettman & Halpin

You can’t blame newcomers for tentative moments on their debuts or missteps. Everyone wants to put on their “best face” for their first turn in the spotlight, everyone wants to make a good impression, but this earnest desire leads some off-course. Rosie Dean, however, isn’t among them. Her first release All Grown Up presents the music buying

American pop music is more of a melting pot in 2022 than ever before, and it’s from this perspective that the aesthetical experiments artists like Ryte EyE Ty are doing in the studio make a lot of sense. Although he isn’t really treading any foreign waters in terms of history, Ryte EyE Ty is pushing

“Judas” is the new song from indie music darling AV Super Sunshine. From the forthcoming album ARTROCK, “Judas” is based on the story of Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus Christ’s 12 original apostles. And if you don’t know, Judas is also the apostle that betrayed him to the authorities for thirty pieces of silver. His name,

From the opening song “Breath” to the epic closer, “Seven”, Los Angeles’ film and television composer Kim Planert maps out an imaginative and complex array of emotive artistry in the new full-length (instrumental) album, Being. The appropriately titled collection, listened through the lens of the past few years, sews together raw emotion and organic undercurrents that

I am sure Hungary’s Bernadett finds her success in the music world especially satisfying. It’s not a vindication of her talents alone but, perhaps, she views her blossoming success as justice of a sort for her grandfather and, maybe, a continuation of what he set out to do. Jozsef B. Suha, violist and composer, captured

For what it’s worth, Partial Sum comes out swinging. I wasn’t expecting something so bold, candid, and brazen from their most recent single “Just Listen,” but that’s exactly what I was given, and I think I’m all the better for it. When I set out to listen to pop music, it’s generally pretty tame stuff

“Silver Linings” is the newest single by R&B singer, Dommo, and the title certainly has literal connotations. Growing up in less than ideal conditions in Ohio, Dommo has split his time between Dallas/Ft. Worth,  and Toledo. He’s also a vocalist for the group known as Gold Standard, who are featured on the track. Thanks to

Known for its castles, The Alps, Sigmund Freud, the setting for The Sound of Music and probably the late pop star Falco, Austria is a beautiful blend of historical culture and modern twists. The whimsical new pop-Europa track, “When the Sun Comes Out” from Austria’s ViennaCC further puts this European city on the map for

No one can claim Kate Lynne Logan is a slacker. She’s released eight collections of varying length since her 2011 debut and her songwriting has exponentially grown over the near decade. The ten tracks included on her album Sleeping Giants touch on the same themes present in Logan’s earlier work, but her artistic perspective widens with each
