What does the word persistence mean to you? Does it mean you give it all you got for years, and then finally give up? Or does it mean you put in your sweat equity and for someone else, and maybe work on your own dream on the backburner or on the side? In the new

Joe Piket’s new single “Talk Like a Musician” is an anomaly in the Long Island, New York singer/songwriter’s career. Piket has built his reputation as a superb live performer on his own and as front man for Joe Piket and the Storm, but his songwriting has drawn attention for its stylistic breadth, fresh twists within
Laura Sumner set a tone for her career back in 2008 with Dreamology, and thirteen years later, I think that tone has matured rather beautifully in “American Man,” the most recent single to feature her name in the byline. Instead of making a major departure from her classic sound, Sumner’s new track is more a testament
Are you making any rounds with testing out new music on the road? Absolutely! Most of my live set right now is unreleased music. I’ve been able to test it out by opening for Snoop Dogg, Ubbi Dubbi, and playing all around Nashville. What stories do you want to tell in your upcoming music? I
There’s an argument to be made that there’s a little more experimentalism in hip-hop today than there needs to be, but this isn’t to suggest that players going their own ways rather than standing beside the crowded talent pool in the mainstream is wrong. If you’re going to go it alone, you have to have
Your music is really thoughtful. How long do you contemplate what the subject matter will be? Thank you. That means a lot to me! Usually, if I think too long and hard about a subject matter, I start over analyzing and the magic is gone. At the end of the writing process is usually when I
Your music is really thoughtful. How long do you contemplate what the subject matter will be? Lately, I have been trying to keep it real with my lyrics, and talk about past experiences. I want people to know that no matter what they are going through, that it is ok, and you are not the
Synths are pretty much everywhere you look and listen in pop music right now. Whether it’s in hip-hop or something more rock-oriented, the synthesizer has once again become a favored source of unique melodicism as an increasingly digitalized universe envelops everything from the record stores we shopped in to the very scenes birthing vinyl those
Hello! Thank you for speaking with me today! Thank you so much for having us. You recently released your debut EP ‘Magnum’! Will you tell us a bit about it? Yes, of course. We’re very proud of our first project. We went into the creating process just wanting to make good music. We wanted to
If you’ve got the pipes Leo Sawikin does, creating an underwhelming harmony just isn’t a possibility, especially when it comes to songs like Row Me Away’s “Tell Me There’s An Answer.” In tracks like this one, the title cut, and “A Whole World Waiting,” Sawikin’s Row Me Away presents us with a weaponized lead vocal from the
There’s something distinctly folky about the casual strut of the strings in the opening bars of Bard’s Flying Vessel’s “Cut in Half,” and yet the electricity of the melody – and, for that matter, the instrument it originates from – grounds the foundation of this song in utter neurosis. The guitar parts here are restless
You recently released your song ‘Elaine Benes’! Will you tell us a bit about it? BP: Absolutely! I’m a big fan of the tv show Seinfeld, and I wanted to make a Seinfeld song that took place in modern-day. So for this concept, both characters are in their 60s and Jerry Seinfeld is professing his
Your music is really thoughtful. How long do you contemplate what the subject matter will be? That’s incredibly kind, and I purposefully try to have a lot of emotion, thought and connection go into every song I write.. that’s so kind! I typically try to write songs as a form of reflection or therapy. So
How would you classify your music? Bruce Jones and I record what is fundamentally Brazilian-oriented music. Our new release, Forever (https://billmcbirnie-extremeflute.bandcamp.com/album/forever), is our third Extreme Flute project. The earlier two we did were (1) Desvio (https://billmcbirnie-extremeflute.bandcamp.com/track/desvio) and (2) Grain of Sand (https://billmcbirnie-extremeflute.bandcamp.com/album/grain-of-sand). Bruce was raised in Brazil, and because he does most of the writing
Hello Blooming Fire! So lovely to speak with you today! It’s our pleasure, thanks for having us! Tell us about your latest project! We spent the first half of the year focusing our energy on our visual EP ‘Dunia.’ The project encapsules our vision of tying together all 4 of our songs from our last
While they’ve got a litany of attributes that could be credited with their ongoing success among CCM and hybrid country music fans in recent years, I think that the vocal component of Lavendine’s sound is their greatest weapon in the war on modern mundanity. Rather than giving us the same kind of harmonies that a
About two minutes into his new single “The Ballad of Sanaleigh,” Tash Hagz generates a vocal harmony that could be the most brooding of any he’s recorded in his career thus far, but this melodic climax is hardly the only high point in this track. From beginning to end, the layers of majestic audio that
Award-winning singer/songwriter Patricia Bahia continues her elegant display of music that touches the heart and soul. In her new track, “Hold On” the feelings of encouragement and friendship are beautifully displayed within Bahia’s warm delivery. “Hold On” is a testament to Bahia’s prowess as a lyricist, and the natural empathy she so convincingly delivers each
“Sweetest Of Melody “ is the forthcoming single by R&B singer, Rina Chanel. The single is from her debut EP, simply titled, Rina. Originally from the Virginia Beach, Virginia area, Rina Chanel has already amassed an array of accolades and achievements. She attended Radford University on a voice scholarship, and also spent time in Norfolk,
Bill McBirnie’s Extreme Flute label, in my opinion, is one of the most significant “under the radar” imprints releasing music today. His latest release Forever with frequent creative partner Bruce Jones illustrates the possibilities of incorporating world music influences, traditional classical instrumentation, and pop song structures. This is not new ground. Earlier artists have expanded listener’s awareness
