Hello Joey! So lovely to speak with you today! Thanks so much for having me! Tell us about your latest project! There are three at the moment LOL. Putting the finishing touches on my new album. I was going to release this year but might wait until next year as I am not able to

If the new song “Regeden” were a movie, it would be a Terry Gilliam-style piece. The peculiar and dramatic tones, courtesy of Switzerland’s Johanna Rittiner Sermier, has an undeniable imprint that it leaves on the listener. Where other songs may leave a tattoo or hook the lister with a catchy chorus, it’s Reittner Sermier’s haunting,
Songs from the Land is Luis Mojica’s third album release following on the heels of the David Baron/Simone Felice produced collection How a Stranger is Made. Mojica’s work marks him as a true iconoclast in a musical world obsessed with surfaces and material success. There is no question Mojica would continue writing songs even if he never
“No More Waitin,’’ an exciting track off Washington-based band Vicious Kitty’s 2018 self-titled EP, has had new life breathed into it with a remix and recent re-release. While the original song is great and sounds similar, the remix is a tad more polished and powerful, giving it greater impact. The drums, bass, and guitar all
Los Angeles’ Chris Wills proves he’s prime time ready with the sparkplug “All American”. Bursting with energy and a catchy chorus that doesn’t lose its grip, “All American” is the pop rock track we’ve been patiently awaiting for all of 2021. Inspired by a dream that will never die, “All American” roots itself even further
Even The Undertaker – by Once Great Estate, is yet another slice of their excellent Folk in the Americana variety, which also includes the usual musical flavors expressed in their own special way. And that still doesn’t describe what’s really going on with this swampy outfit from the North Florida woods. They’re even self-described as
It is all but impossible to dislike Ed Roman’s new single “Happiness”. The popping creativity audible throughout this song has a contagious positive feel, an infectious optimism that, nevertheless, isn’t Pollyanna fluff. Ed Roman’s target audience, consciously or otherwise, are music devotees rather than casual listeners and his past songwriting reflects this. Cuts such as
Pamela Hopkins’ “Back When” isn’t the musical equivalent of a Hallmark greeting card or family album. It is one of those songs about the enchantment of the past, childhood specifically, and we’ve heard its ilk before. Hopkins, however, brings her innate Southern talent for soulfulness to bear from the first line through the last. She
Album rollouts can be a tedious art form, entirely reflecting the structure and message of an impending album within a PR landscape while giving spotlight and focus to a select few singles that will undoubtedly do the heavy lifting for most casual listeners in a musical artist’s audience. The distinction of an album single doesn’t
With Prix6 and Charles King in the booth for good measure, Monsieur Job redefines the parameters of a slick Latin hip-hop groove in the song “Ese Tumbao – Remix,” but much as it is in the more rock-inspired “Malevo Maleva,” the vocal harmonies are a bit more transcendent than the percussive frills are. “Da Funk”
Concept albums, once a relatively common phenomena in popular music, are scant nowadays. Listeners, moreover, associate the form with sprawling theatrically inspired releases and not condensed fare like Little King’s Amuse De Q. Its brevity, however, isn’t unsatisfactory. It’s driven by the deceptive economy of the band’s songwriting, handled by front man and guitarist Ryan Rosoff, rejecting
Hello Olivia! So lovely to speak with you today! Tell us about your latest project! “Your Loss” is my most recent single. I’m so excited to share this one because I feel like I haven’t released a savage song in a while lol! It was overdue. What is a dream venue for you to perform
Reggae’s modern stars would likely be called too experimental to have run with a lot of the preceding generation of leading players, but that said, there’s something really special about what’s going on in the genre right now, and artists like the independent Robert Minott are the reason why. Instead of leaning in on a
There’s a certain pressure with a live album. Music like any strong art form is built on illusion. A magic trick of expression and convincing your listener that they’re on the same page as the singer and narrator. Live albums separated from the concert experiences often seek to remove the artificial and encompass the soul.
“Do You Think That I’m A Fool?” a new single by caroline, is fun and upbeat while also tackling a darker issue. Beneath the pop sound and pretty vocals is a story of fighting against anorexia and all the problems that come with it. caroline’s new song tells everyone around her, including herself, that she’s
If harmony is the cornerstone of every impactful pop performance, saying that the debut single and music video from Dom Cotton in “Get Me Outta Here” is a hit waiting to pop off online might not be doing it justice. The first element that really smacks us in this track is the vocal harmony, wrapping
Hi Patricia! You are so inspiring and have conquered so much! What has been your biggest achievement so far? Taking the leap and leaving my law career to become a songwriter is still probably the biggest thing I’ve done in my music career. Without that, I wouldn’t have a music career at all. How much
Hi Wheeler! Great to speak with you today! What have you been working on lately? I’ve been working on a bunch of things. I’ve been on tour with Chairmen of The Board for most of the summer and in the studio on my off days trying to finish an album I’m working on. I’m also going
What is a choice you’ve made that sticks out to you that landed you where you are today in your career? To record my first song. I was so hooked with the process that it launched everything. I did not fall into this career, it called to me that my time had come for a
Crushing us with a punky beat while straddling a fairly light harmony with nothing more than his lead vocal, Jay Elle sounds both carefree and totally focused in the song “Insane,” one of my personal favorite cuts off of the new album Ride the Wave this summer. “Insane” features a melodic foundation that reminds me a lot
