Jamaican born singer/songwriter Robert Minott’s new single “You Are” wastes no time getting under your skin. He foregoes any lengthy introduction in favor of bringing listeners straight into a sheltering, all-encompassing musical landscape. The fact he manages to accomplish this with three primary instruments, guitar, keyboards, and organ, is even more impressive. The song’s production

The new single “I Like What I See” is the new single from Dave Isaacs’ album, Choogle. Now based in Nashville, Tennessee, the classically trained Manhattan School of Music guitarist is making waves in Music City. Listening to this new bluesy/rock track, it’s easy to feel that his presence is going to extend well beyond those
New Delhi, India’s Rohan Solomon is a singer/songwriter who has built the bulk of his reputation as the former lead singer for the alternative rock band Cyanide. They released three albums during their run and played throughout India before disbanding. His 2009 solo debut Lead the Way spawned two hit singles that garnered significant US radio airplay,
Sophisticated and alluring, the new release, “Love The Lie” from Megan Graney is a wonderful sonic escape. Graney sets fire to a sultry, jazz/pop track, bringing along music that brightens her tones and tenor. Now based in Los Angeles, her work is often focused on mental health and positive living. While “Love The Lie” is
In songs like “Brown Suitcase,” Frank Jurgens is so much more than a singer; he’s a vocalist who can own the energy of the room even when he’s coming to us from within the four walls of a recording studio. His charisma is one of the focal points to be found in his new self-titled
Jacob Kinniburgh’s one man project Content debuts with a five-song self-titled EP. When we say “one man”, let’s be clear – Kinniburgh is the project’s songwriting engine, but several musicians make their presence felt on this release. The Australian singer/songwriter purports to be far from content, but it’s difficult for me to imagine he isn’t
Elsewhere is earnest, if nothing else. There’s nothing disingenuous about the band’s music or songwriting, no feeling that the band thinks their better or smarter than their fans – it’s obvious that the Boston based trio is eager to share a sense of community with their audience. It never feels forced. The lack of anything
If you’ve lately been feeling like there isn’t much guitar-born glory in popular music anymore, you’re certainly not alone.

Ian Bouras is a long way from his days as guitarist/songwriter for the New York City rock/reggae band AñaVañA. His star was rising fast in the early 2000’s NYC independent/alternative scene but unexpected events irrevocably changed the trajectory of his life. Bouras’ diagnosis with a rare neurological condition called Ataxia compelled him to rethink how
Live albums are different. There’s no cushion between artist and audience; it’s all meat and potatoes personality, at least when it’s recorded the way that Brandon James fashions his new extended play Soul Sessions Live this autumn. Rather than toying with the kind of synthetics that have become rather commonplace in the pop genre over the past
Mixing elements of country, pop and rock music together isn’t a new idea nor something that anyone can deem a modern concept by any measurement, but when Corey Stapleton & The Pretty Pirates brew up their new single “Western Son,” it definitely sounds like an unfamiliar and fresh combination perfect for the fall season. “Western
Hello! It is great to speak with you today! Tell us about your latest project! I just released my third Christian Country single “Thank God”. I am very excited about this song because I got to get in a group with 3 professional songwriters and write it in Nashville. This is a song that I
What is the most daring part about releasing new music? Releasing something you created is always a bit daring, because you’re sharing a part of yourself with the world. It is both vulnerable and exhilarating to share. Being a singer/ songwriter, what is a learning curve you had to learn about the two? The wonderful
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
