If you’ve been waiting for some great beats to get 2020 started, Gino McKoy and rapper Diamond have got your needs covered with their new single “Sensy Girl,” a track that makes up one-third of the stunning extended play (and feature film soundtrack) Lumina. “Sensy Girl” is a melody-powered swing jam with a lusty lyrical wit
Flowing with vitality and richly textured, perhaps more than they are anywhere else on Rob Alexander’s Being Myself album, the strings that adorn the thick grooves of the record’s second single “Friend of Mine (Elton’s Epic)” might not be the main object of our affections in this song – next to Rob’s voice, what else could
Hey Sidney. Thank you for joining us today! Start us off by telling us something most people don’t know about you and would be surprised to know if they found out? Hello!! Hmm, probably that I’m obsessed with comedy and I sometimes perform stand-up comedy at clubs in New York City. What has been your
He hasn’t merely broken into the Top 200 Airplay chart on Digital Radio Tracker; he’s cut into its upper tier. That’s on top of owning the NACC Hip-Hop adds, the #2 slot on NumberOneMusic’s Seattle chart and #48 on Record World Magazine, just to name some of the January highlights. 130 radio stations added his
Gilded strings fight their way through a misty master mix as Ilja Alexander’s new single and music video “Someday” starts to play. Soon in their wake, we hear the strikingly smoky voice of Mr. Alexander join their eager melody, intertwining and capturing our attention instantly. The chill-inducing harmonies are just beginning to catch fire at
Glistening guitars embrace us with open arms in “Chasin’ My Tail.” The labored melody of a supple piano is also quite similar in “To Be Real.” At times, White Collar Crime are soft, vulnerable and unguarded, as in “Leaving You,” while in others, they’re relentlessly angst-ridden, unapproachable and full of bitter emotion. This is 30 Years
A fiddle cries out to us with a solemn melody ever so gently. A vocal as heavy with emotion isn’t far behind its instrumental intro to “Devil on the Side,” but for as short a start as it is, the mood that these strings create will stay with us throughout this song from Flat River
You won’t find any of the inauthentic props that have become commonplace in pop music in the video for Andy Michaels’ new single “Darling It Hurts.” You also won’t find any false foundations, like synthetic harmonies or a badly recycled rhythm, in the song’s parent album, Incendiary Heart. Fake admissions are nowhere to be heard in
With the blunt end of a pick, Dave Vargo finds his way over the strings with a delicate hesitance as “Nowhere Else” begins to play, every note seeming to reverberate into the atmosphere and come chasing back after his words but moments later. In songs like this one and its Spaces in Between neighbor (and lead single)
Las Vegas based band Forgotten Door is garnering a lot of attention and positive press thanks to their deft combination of songwriting fundamentals, modern production values, and retro influences.

Wisconsin based AV Super Sunshine, working in tandem with talented producer/musician Michael Bradford, Earlier efforts from Sunshine such as “Candyland”, in its various mixes, established the talented singer, musician, and songwriter as one of the finest stylists in popular music today. His latest single “Crazy Love” follows the template of the aforementioned single in some
Philadelphia’s Hughie Mac returns with the fourth installment of his Sings Some Great Songs series and many will feel it is the best yet. Mac’s swing through popular music over the course of these four albums is reminiscent, in some ways, of Rod Stewart’s Great American Songbook releases, but Mac’s vision is arguably wider and more all encompassing than
A lush vocal harmony. A volley of slightly electrified strings. Simple beats that slide into focus on a whimsical rhythm. This is “#2020,” the new single from part-time pop group and full-time family Avni Vir Vineet, and to say that it’s an aesthetically amalgamative track would be simply too big an understatement for any credible
Hello Emily! So happy we could chat today. Can you walk us through your musical journey? Give us the story of where you started and what is going on now for you. I started playing violin when I was 11 years old. I had asked my parents for lessons since I was 5, but I
As the central point of communication in the all-new album Benny’s TV Repair, the strings that adorn Irene Kelley’s “Out of Arkansas,” “The Hills Of Home,” “Bluegrass Radio” and “Something About A Train Sound” are as important as any of the words Kelley sings to us in her latest 11-track masterpiece, but they aren’t overstated in
Western Reserve by Howard Simon is a thoughtful record from an artist with some recent background worth mentioning because of how his songwriting has evolved into more uplifting stories and themes with more characters. The view and concept of one of the songs involved an assignment given to Simon by Shawn Colvin at a guitar
INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/griffinholtby/ It is little wonder, given how much Griffin Holtby has already experienced of life, that the young singer/songwriter brings such palpable passion to his single “Overgrown”. The potent imagery underlying the song title is well chosen and Holtby’s writing, its melody first composed during his high school years and later fleshed out with
On the last frame of Anastasia’s video to the explosive debut single “Evaporate” are the words “you are not alone.” The words are dedicated to “everyone that has suffered from an eating disorder.” Anastasia, born in Russia is now NYC-based and garnered a degree from Berklee School of Music. Her rich, powerful vocals are the
“Atomic Bomb” is as fun as a rock song gets, and The Push from Austin, TX keep their roots firmly planted on their debut album No Light In The Darkness. Talk about a ticket to ride, they’ve got a stack of eleven of them, starting with the sneaky “Atomic Bomb” and a video to match
How would you classify your music? Song-driven Celtic soul & roots Americana Who are some of your top 5 musical influences? Darrell Scott, Marcus Hummon, Hothouse Flowers, Waterboys, Blue Nile What do you want fans to take from your music? I want them to connect something in their own lives with a lyric or a
Kerry Pastine and the Crime Scene’s “City of Love” is a rambunctious and rollicking musical ride courtesy of the most talented music unit to emerge in recent memory from the Denver, Colorado musical scene. They are well versed in the style and that’s obvious during every second of this near four-minute track, but the most
Deborah Lee Fong isn’t a household name. She’s something better. She is an artist on the cultural front lines, working hard over three decades to perfect her craft and communicate with audiences through a variety of pieces, and shows no signs of slowing down or losing her passion.

In her new single, titled “Found,” pop temptress Melissa B. establishes herself as an artist of the future through a combination of surreal songwriting, efficient beats and elegant harmonies that have gone mostly unmatched in the year 2019. With a forceful presence that rivals the physicality of the bassline in the background, her lead vocal
Jupiter in Velvet’s latest release Anthems 2 Love is a collection of songs well in keeping with the artistry he’s established since debuting in 2012. The American born UK based vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter stands apart from the pack for a variety of reasons. Few musicians and songwriters are as talented pouring old wine into new bottles
Pastoral harmonies dance alongside a quiet percussive beat in “A Little Less Gone,” but as incredible as they are in this track, they’re just as spellbinding in the up-tempo “Magazine Rack,” mischievously melodic “Hi Lonesome,” traditional bluegrass homage “Red Top Mountain Road” and deeply evocative “I’m Not Afraid.” Donna Ulisse sings with every bit of
2019 has been a really excellent year for adult contemporary artists, and few know that better than Dr. Rob Alexander, whose new single “Never Gonna Let You Go” and album Being Myself are lighting up the underground this fall like nobody’s business. “Never Gonna Let You Go” is a pretty simplistic power ballad that comes to us

As compelling as they are painfully honest and raw, the lyrics that David Leask sings to us in his new single “When You Think No One Loves You” are only one of the many components in the track that can be described as being evocative, but there are some moments in the song, such as
