Lately it’s seemed as though there’s a bit of duel taking place in modern folk/rock between American postmodernists and Canadian minimalists, with both sets of songwriters bringing a unique but entirely conflicting slew of sounds to the contemporary spectrum, but in the case of Sébastien Lacombe’s “Gold in Your Soul,” the latest single/video combo from
Levi Colston
Smashing through the speakers and crashing into anything and everything that gets in its path, the riff-rock adrenaline that comes barreling out of the ethers at us in “Gone Away,” one of the three songs found on Strings of Atlas’ new EP How Far We’ve Come, is unstoppably captivating no matter what volume you’re experiencing it
With a stellar bounce that seems to play out in slow-motion, despite the urgency in the drumbeat behind it, the first few strands of a melody that we find at the onset of “Brightside” are incontrovertibly as stunning as any that we’ll find in the new EP from Chords of Eve, Dear Engineer, but while these
Hughie Mac Sings Some Great Songs Part 4 is a robust collection of the songs that echo romance and pure entertainment. Mac, a fixture in the Philadelphia music scene, last touched listeners’ hearts with Hughie Mac Sings Some Great Songs Part 3 in 2018. His newest collection doesn’t disappoint. With 23 songs total, it’s not
There are countless ways that a heavenly harmony can affect us, and in Rob Alexander’s “Life As We Know It,” the third single from his album Being Myself, it’s perhaps even more essential to the construction of the song’s narrative than Alexander’s lyrics are. From the get-go, the backing band and the man of the hour
Breaking away from genre parameters and exploring his sonic depth with a moxie that can only be described as infectious, Jonathan Emile lays into the first few verses of his new single “Try a Likkle More” with concentrated restraint, saving the bulk of his cathartic powers for later on in the track. His disciplined approach
Intermingled with deliciously melodic verses, dispatched via both traditional pop means and a flamboyant rap from the woman of the hour herself, the rich instrumental backdrop atop which Destiny Malibu dazzles us in the all-new single “Lo Siento” is debatably as enrapturing as any lyric that she sings. Proving once more that she won’t play
The world of independent cinema sees many faces come and go. It isn’t the world of big budget blockbusters and superhero movies driven by studios searching for marketing opportunities above artistic excellence but, instead, a world where directors, writers, producers, and performers are often driven by the desire to either entertain in edgy creative fashion
Hello and Welcome Rose! You have a new song that you just released titled “Young God’. Congratulations! Do you feel nervous or excited now that it is out? It’s a total mixture of the two! I’m excited because this is a song I genuinely adore and means a lot to me. Also I think it’s
Welcome 2Four! We are excited to chat with you today. You have a single currently out titled “Party Time” – we love it! It is such a vibe. Tell us more about it and the message behind the song. A vibe describes it perfectly actually. The message was simply to say party it up. Enjoy
Sean – welcome! Thank you for giving us some of your time today! Fill us in on all of the details of your collaboration with Katherine Rose Cline! How did that come together? She was rapping with another friend of mine on stage. I couldn’t even hear her, but she had swag for days, and
Today, we are incredibly pleased to sit down and talk with music industry executive and publicist Ken Cavalier to find out more about how he assists independent artists & indie labels with their promotions and marketing, and about what’s going on with his management and publicity firm Allure Media Entertainment Group. Hi ken – Great
The music video for “All That I Want,” the first single from Kings County’s debut album (titled only Kings County), gets us started with a close-up shot of a shapely female figure, her swaying hips finding a slow-motion cadence with the rhythm of the song playing in the background. Raw film interrupts the image and cuts
Hello Emily! Thanks for taking time to chat with us today! We know you are busy out on the road – for fans that haven’t seen you – what can they expect when they come out and catch a live show? Hi, Thank you! For fans that have not seen me live, they can expect
Hey Kendra! Thank you for your time today! You have a new single coming out called Silent Sleeper. What kind of insight can you give us? Thanks for inviting me to interview! I am really looking forward to the release of this single on February 6. It marks a new era in my career, as
As important as any of the lyrics to his new single “Sensy Girl” are, the beats that adorn every pulsing stitch of rhythm in this hot track courtesy of Gino McKoy and Diamond are perhaps more expressive than they actually need to be, but nevertheless, they’re getting this collaborative pair a lot of attention this
“Play the music, give it to the people / Don’t you know you’re doing fine? / Sing the chorus, never mind the verses / You know you are a friend of mine,” croons Rob Alexander, his words echoing the emotion in his band’s play with a powerful vocal thrust to the rhythm of “Friend of
Welcome Mark! So happy we get to chat with you today! We know you came from a small town in Maine. Tell us about where you are from and what kind of support you received from friends and family over the years. Thanks so much for having me! Well, as you said, I’m from a
Hello Cassandra! Thank you for chatting with us. Tell us a little bit about your musical background. I grew up doing musical theatre. I always sang. Singing has always been a part of me. It was and is always how I connect with myself. It is how I love and connect with others. I started
Hey Reverend Doctor! Thank you for your time today! So we found out not only are you a super talented musician, you are also an actor. We caught you in a national commercial. So cool. Tell us what that experience was like for you? Haha! Thanks! Who told you??? Man. You know, any performer, by
New Orleans-style percussive thrusts attack us from every angle in the “Bounce Mix” of Ronnue’s smash hit single “Be Your Freak,” but much as we find in the “Retro-Funk Mix” of the track, pulsating textures aren’t limited to the drumbeat in this extraordinarily catchy pop treat. From its acidic “Retro-House Mix” to the standard incarnation
Kaleidoscopic melodies spark “Darling It Hurts,” the new music video and opening track in Andy Michaels’ Incendiary Heart, to life with an effervescence that the Australian singer and songwriter will revisit in “Only Love Knows the Meaning of Goodbye” and Tiarna Madison’s “Emerald Eyes,” but that said, there’s something really special about what we’re met with
Thank you for your time today. Let’s jump in. The New Year is here, did you set any resolutions or intentions this year you can share with us? Hello! Yes, let’s jump right in! 2019 was such an amazing, transformative year. I am so thankful for all the blessings last year brought me… Which makes me
A bassline as sly as a fox comes slinking into focus as This Time sinks into the heavy pop jam “Right in Front of You” much as it gently cushions the sparkling guitars of “Something About;” with a decadence that is only paralleled by the lead vocals adorning every song in the Canadian outfit’s new
The music video for “Moses,” the new single from Jonathan Emile, opens in a soccer field populated with kids. Slowly but surely we find our way through a barber shop, a roadside, and finally to an isolated sliver of ocean, where Emile himself is waiting for us with a bold vocal melody. In the next
Hi Lexi. Thank you for chatting with us! We heard you have new music dropping soon. Describe it in 5 words or less. Positive, buttery, neo-soul. Where do you record and are you self-produced? A hodgepodge of my and my friend’s home studios. I record my vocals at my home studio in Brooklyn. My
Hello Keymakers! Fill us in on what is new in the world of the Keymakers? Red: We released our first ever EP, Spectra, about a month ago, so that is still pretty fresh. Now we’re kicking off our first tour ever this January! Beyond that, this EP release has allowed us to connect with a

In his signature smoky croon, Jupiter in Velvet colorizes a rather basic string part in “The Greatest Gift” with a passionate emotion that can be found throughout the lyrics of his new record, Anthems 2 Love. Inspired as much by the contemporary experimentalism of a burgeoning new era in rock n’ roll as it is by
Holiday songs are often a tough sell even for the most talented and well-known of artists in the game today, but in the case of Suzanne’s Band’s take on “One More Night of Christmas,” it doesn’t take much more than a cursory examination of its melodic patchwork to fall in love with the group’s trademark
