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
Delta Tales is a ten song studio release from Sun King Rising, the one-man project helmed by singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist John Blangero. The collection falls within several stylistic wheelhouses but the predominant style heard throughout the release is reminiscent of big screen substantive pop songs with assertive drumming and a rock guitar edge. Music has evolved
She’s only a teenager – what does she know? Well, for starters, they know a lot. Don’t let the title fool you, the new song “Seventeen” from sister-duo Wild Fire ignites quite a bit of passion and mature songwriting. “Seventeen” is a splendid little ditty – a modest pop/country concoction. With harmonies that are like
“She loved me I know it / She wasn’t worth it / Thought we could work it / Didn’t deserve it,” croons rapper Dici in “Something’s Right” this summer, and while his words echo an insularity that has become quite commonplace in hip-hop and pop over the past year, the substance of this track isn’t
Lurking about in the darkness, a bluesy bassline seems to follow a funereal beat like it’s leading the way straight into the pits of a hell occupied by the most sinful of sonic experimentalists to walk the earth. We’re alone, isolated with the leering textures and threatening tempo breathing down our necks in “Luminaries,” but
No one can say Tom Tikka dodges life’s larger questions. Most songwriters working within popular music are content to rework a smorgasbord of tropes for each new generation, orbiting the same concerns, reaching the same conclusions. Going out on a limb seldom pays off. I do not know how old Tikka but his new release, This
Calvyn Cass is one of the more intriguing new artists on the horizon, that you are quite possibly, unaware of. Something of an enigma, there is little known about the artist, outside of what his music, offers. It’s rather ironic that so many question marks surround Calvyn Cass, because his personality is as bold and
We want to get to know more about you Dina! What was your first performance? My first performance was my senior year of high school. I sang “Everytime” by Britney Spears in the talent show. I was picked on a lot in school because I had a fake tooth I had to wear on a
What do you say to someone that is holding back? Are you in a relationship with someone where communication doesn’t mean leaving everything out-in-the-open? Enter “Do You Want Me” from singer/songwriter Jo James. This affectionate song, as real as it gets, puts to song what so many people struggle to convey. You don’t have to
Comprised of little more than raw pastoral charisma, smart lyricism, wildly attractive string play, and rustic harmonies straight out of folk/rock’s golden era, there’s an instant accessibility to the new single “Middle of You” by Comanche Moon that doesn’t pertain to fans of bucolic balladry alone. On the contrary, there’s enough of an indie rock
What’s your musical background? Edem: After hearing Baba O’Riley (at the age of 11) by The Who I was hooked. At the age of 12, I was given my first electric guitar, a metal flake teal Fender Musicmaster. I learned enough by myself to form a band in my School in England. We were called
Collaborations are so seldom a cut-and-dry release for either party involved, particularly when the personalities are as big as the concept itself, and thus, we should all feel lucky to come across a record like Head Fake Vs Dub Fu Masters this year. Sure, hybridity has been the primary topic of discussion in critics’ circles as of
