There’s a certain amount of trepidation for me when I’m faced with reviewing a release with strong gospel influences. Not all such releases are alike, of course. Some performers working in that vein adopt strident and/or apocalyptic personas while a significant portion of their peers wear a much more inviting face. Vaughn falls into the

Popular music history is long on examples of how a band’s journey mimics the personal voyages of its members. Ludlow Creek is no exception. The band began life near the middle of the preceding decade as the cover band Southbound but soon transitioned into an unit reliant on their own material. The band made a
The beat that’s driving home the catharsis in Rob Alexander’s latest single, “Yesterday’s News,” is undeniable pure optimism. In the face of lyrics that question the protagonist’s very motives for feeling as emotional as they do, we find a groove that pushes back against the notion altogether, as if to rebuke the hesitance in Alexander’s voice without ever
The new single “Super Galactic” from FiveDFit has all the basic instrumental components of a typical rock track – guitar, bass, drums, vocals – but when incorporated with a kind of vigor we haven’t seen much of in pop for the better part of the last ten years, they sound anything but conventional.

Nashville is changing in amazing ways right now, with the biggest difference between the new guard and the old coming in the form of increased aesthetical hybridity, both with rock and hip-hop. Taking on a bit of the former in the new single “Ghost Train” is none other than rising country star Matt Westin, who
Some singers have a voice that can appeal to audiences of all backgrounds, and Lady Redneck is one of those special singers. Her new single “After the Rain, You’ll Find the Son” is a Christian country song geared towards the faith-based community more than it is the mainstream per se, but its strength in melodicism
A slow groove can mean the difference between maximum chills or a total lack of thrills, and in the case of the new single “Slow Twerkin’” from 3B Rich, it’s the former over the latter. Rather than trying to center everything on the harmonies that this group can conjure up with surgical precision, “Slow Twerkin’”
If you want to experience the real guitar revolution and immerse yourself into a video game-like sonic world, look no further than Adam Wissman’s fantastic “Rage Quit”. This guitar instrumental odyssey is practically a living, breathing, moving thing. Featuring a spritzy electronic undercurrent, the lead guitar work in “Rage Quit” is simply mesmerizing and filled
Singer/Songwriter, Hannyta is set to release a remixed version of her song, “17.” The Houson Boombox mix gives what is originally a Contemporary Pop song with a Country seasoning, the EDM treatment. It’s not entirely clear the exact purpose of this rendering, aside from just because. What we get is a commendable effort from Hannyta

Sandy T’s new single “Fall 4 You” starts with a deceptive clandestine tone that soon develops into something much more aggressive and forward-focused than the first few bars of this song would leave us believing it could. There’s a dark pessimism behind the angst in this groove, but it’s not much of a challenge to
Genres and labels, in the end, tell us very little about a musical artist. These “devices” are marketplace contrivances designed to help move units; they illuminate no deeper understanding of the message and motivations driving the artist’s creation. URL: https://arunoconnor.com/ New Zealand’s Arun O’Connor will be lumped in with many other Americana performers as a
Welcome Yoyo Nagase! Super excited to chat with you. We love so many of your recent releases – tell us more about your current single “daydreaming”. Why was this the next single? Thanks so much for having me! Every day, I try to write a new song. Early last year, I started listening to the
You can’t copy someone else’s formula and expect good results in the modern hip-hop lexicon; hence, when he sat down to make his new single “Gomelo,” Luigui Bleand spent time getting in touch with what kind of an artist he is rather than who he wants to be like. This is evident in even the
Danny Hughes (DCPA) is an electronic music producer and DJ from Aledo, Texas. His story began like many musicians’ growing up. Born into a family of musicians, he learned to play the piano, trumpet, guitar, and work with production software in academic music programs as a kid. Danny built a solid foundation in the craft,
From the clamor of the guitars to the howl of the lead vocal, you could say that skinsNbones’ new single “Is There Meaning” has all the parts of a classic alternative rock track and be 100% right. That said, what separates this release from the countless tributes to the legacy of iconic punk and indie
Welcome Adam Wissman! Excited to chat with you. You have a new single out – share with us more about it and why you led with this single? My single “Rage Quit” was chosen because of its overall excitement for the listener. It has a heavy drop that features my 8 string guitar. The 8
As a Glam Rock extraordinaire Rocky Kramer is a Rock Star to The Core. Recognized as one of the best guitarists currently on the planet, Rocky Kramer excited his audience with his exquisite, decadent, and riveting talent. He is often compared to the great Jimi Hendrix. Born in Norway, Rocky was a violin virtuoso at
Timing is everything in the music business, and I get the impression that rock n’ rollers Starfire agree with me on this. Their latest release, the compelling and multilayered Dreaming of Your Destiny, embodies some of the surreal qualities that a lot of independently-released rock music has in the past few years, but with one major
