“Waterfall” supplies us with a notable example of that talent. Her new single from a forthcoming EP release bursts from the speakers with engaging physicality.

New England-based band Rock Hearts may hail from an improbable region of the United States for bluegrass music. However, the distinct Southern heritage of the genre doesn’t impede aspiring musicians from absorbing its lessons and performing music in that vein consistently. Innumerable musical movements throughout history prove this. If you have any regional biases, check
James Robert Webb’s “Lost in Vega$” is one of country music’s best singles in 2024.

Alice the G00n is that odd, hybrid kind of entertainer who is an effective mix between a Museum of Modern Art exhibit, and someone with mainstream, commercial prospects on the horizon.

We all know the kind: fleeting, drenched in sunlight, and carrying with it the weight of unfulfilled possibilities. This is the landscape The High Plains Drifters traverse in their latest single,
Know the name Phil Coyne? Maybe his musical act, The Wayward Aces? No? Well, soon you will.

Don McLean has no time for what he describes as “woke bullshit,” adding that it’s the kind of societal issue he conveyed in his 1971 classic “American Pie.” “The song really does open up a whole historical question about what happened in the ’60s and assassinations and the history that forms the backbone of the
Both Jewish and Arab, musically omnivorous but unmistakeably Middle Eastern, globe-trotting trio El Khat are a fascinating hot mess of sounds and influences.
