Old school R&B duets aren’t just pretty good for the genre; they’re essential to grasping the identity that the style has been built around since day one. Although he commands a lot of attention on his own, Senghor Robinson’s contribution to the new single “Sweetest of Melody” is partly what makes the song the brilliant

Adversity can’t keep two tough sisters down. Lavendine proves that if nothing else. Fortunately, however, Lavendine, headed by twin sisters Jana and Jacy Ayers, brings much more to the table than a feel-good tale. Their new single “Here to You” and its music video are arguably Lavendine’s greatest musical achievement yet. The single is a
Rocking the mic isn’t just about having some swagger – anyone can step in on the hip-hop scene and bring a lot of confidence into the arena with them, but if you want to see the kind of attention that Vikki Sota is bringing in right now, you’re going to need something that money can’t
Hi Brett, thanks for sitting down with us today. Let’s start off by telling us a bit about your new single! Hi! Thanks so much! My latest single is called ‘Sitting on Top of the World’ – it’s a real “feel-good” bop written by Australia’s Sweetheart, Delta Goodrem. There’s a real excitement in the arrangement
Actor and producer Linda Collins continues to rack up award-winning roles and challenge herself with a growing list of projects. One might even say it’s hard to keep up with this multi-faceted artist. As the holidays near, and 2022 just on the horizon, the Omaha Latino Festival Best Supporting Actress winner for her role in
AV Super Sunshine’s “Frankenstein” is the latest single from Wisconsin’s resident musical wizard. Longtime fans of the performer are admirers of his dazzling capacity for reinvention. One track will be in a rock vein while its successor will lean far more towards dance and/or electronica. “Frankenstein” blends various strands into a potent mix, but rock
Are you making any rounds with testing out new music on the road? I’m not currently traveling with my music but I’m always open to it. I just started testing out new music locally though and the reaction has been very positive. What stories do you want to tell in your upcoming music? People might
Your music is really thoughtful. How long do you contemplate what the subject matter will be? Well the way that I write songs is melody first and lyrics last. So a lot of the time I’ll have a melody sitting around for quite a while before I actually think of some good lyrics to fit
There’s an argument to be made that Canada’s underground is even more diverse and brimming with talent at the moment than the American circuit is, and when I listen to an artist like South African-Canadian transplant Calvyn Cass, it’s hard to argue with such an argument. Although steeped in a worldly tone that would be
“You’re Not There” is the likely impetus for Lorenzo Gabanizza’s career to rise to another level. He’s worked with one project or another over the last half decade-plus though he seems to have discovered his voice as a solo performer. This is not his first release under his name. He has a limited discography, but
What is the most daring part about releasing new music? I think the most daring part is sharing your heart and soul with the world. Music is so subjective, so sharing anything creative and personal is a risk. It’s also the most cathartic experience! Being a singer/ songwriter, what is a learning curve you had
Today is one of those days when I love what I do. I mean, to write about music all day long and listen to some of the most interesting and risk-taking indie artists – hell yeah. My new favorite song and soon-to-be-yours is the instrumental track, “The Fountain”. I know what you’re thinking, instrumental, really?
Kiara Chettri is one of those artists that seems designed for stardom. She checks off all of the necessary boxes and comes as close to perfection as one conceivably can. Her imperviousness makes the emotional depth of her new single, “Falling,” even more invigorating. Native to India, Kiara Chettri is all of 17 years old,
Hamid J will make you feel all your feelings with his new single “Nothin’ Perfect 2 Say.” With all the power of an 80’s deep cut and beautiful, emotional vocals, this fresh track is sure to capture anyone who comes across it. It has a timeless quality and is clearly well crafted. There’s a level
Hip-hop is so much more than the most popular genre on the planet right now; truth be told, it’s the center of western culture, and it takes a special kind of artist to advance its narrative beyond the bar as it’s presently been set. Nonetheless, up-and-coming rapper ALYST sounds intent on aiming as high as
This is a lively single. “Olivia” hasn’t allowed a pandemic and global dissention get it down. People are still in love, building lives together, tackling whatever twists that come their way. The drama of human hearts never ends. We’re always looking within, as well, turning our gaze to the road behind us so we remember
I’m a bit of a grinch when it comes to holiday music. It’s not just that it’s repeated ad nauseam from November to somehow January depending on where you live, but I’ll be frank, it’s that some of the songs just aren’t very good. This isn’t meant to be a slam piece against Christmas music,
As The Simonetta Lein Show premiers its 4th season premiere, the show welcomes American comedic actor, writer, and producer, Tom Arnold. You probably know Tom best for his role as Arnie Thomas on the classic American sitcom, Roseanne, a show he not only starred in but wrote for, and eventually went on to executive produce. Over the
Fierce indie singer/rapper Intelligent Diva has dropped another dope single, “In My Feelings.” Her last handful of singles have landed her in the top of multiple music charts in the United States and Europe. Hailing from Jacksonville, Florida, Intelligent Diva’s music is a mix of R&B, Rap, Jazz, Soul, and Urban Latin. “In My Feelings”
Jarod Grubb probably unintentionally hoodwinked people who didn’t really know him. They saw a baseball player, a skilled athlete, but Grubb lived another life away from sports. His early training as a saxophonist and classical pianist served him well when he decided to begin playing guitar. He punctuated his time between baseball and college classes
William Maselli serves up one of 2021’s best singles with the release of “Feeling Good About Us”. I have to admit the song was a bit jarring. It’s interesting that I felt surprised. The last eighteen months have brought challenge after challenge into everyday life and, thus far, the musical response has documented the darker
Once Great Estate – are a Folk outfit with a Southern twist and provocative lyrics and vocals, backed with amazing instrumentation from Florida, also with a couple of roots from Wyoming and NYC. This band bring a lot of tasty flavors of Folk, from bluegrass and country to Americana and other modern forms with an
If we love music, we should cheer on and push forward artists such as Ed Roman. His new single “Happiness” follows earlier releases such as “Tomorrow Is Today”, “Red Omen”, and “Stronger” and distinguishes itself, like those earlier tracks, for several reasons. One of the most critical factors in setting “Happiness” apart from the pack
Ambitiousness is Toby Holguin’s calling card, and in the new record W.T.F.! from Monsieur Job, he releases what might be the most expansive collection of his material under the moniker to date. W.T.F.! includes a lot of collaborations, experiments, sonic dabbling in everything from the avant-garde to traditional jazz, EDM, goth rock, and beyond, but one element it fails
“When The Party’s Over” from Dallas String Quartet elicits the kind of reaction that swells the heart. Angelic strings and like being a part of a stroll through some sort of secret garden, it’s no wonder Dallas String Quartet were asked to perform at the recent Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani’s nuptials. If you’re thinking
Imagine still being in high school and battling disease. Or having to do hours of homework, plus focus on your mental well-being. The world of a young artist is sometimes hard to imagine, but for the millions that suffer from mental illness and a form of anorexia, that is the reality. Do they dwell on
There aren’t many Bob Mould types rocking the alternative underground these days, but much to my surprise, the new record Ride the Wave from singer/songwriter Jay Elle takes the spirit of late-80s/early-90s indie rock and brings it into a full-color modernity I was pleased to encounter this August. Rather than putting all his stock in the brilliant
The newest single by Rapper/Producer, Dici, is surprisingly as feel good as it gets. That’s not to say that Dici is synonymous with a bleak outlook or even a particularly serious agenda. On the contrary, Dici is a fun loving 18 year old, who loves to boast about his, shall we say, magnetism. Funny enough,
Even in the most brilliant of pop songs, lyrics can only do so much for so long. The best songcraft centers on the empowerment created by the delivery of verses in a consistently stimulating manner, and for a good example of what I’m talking about, “Tears of Blood” fits the bill. “Tears of Blood” is
J’Maurice is a Rapper/R&B songwriter, out of Dallas, TX. His new single, “Facetime” is all about making up for the love, you can’t show in person. The title, alone, is enough to garner a chuckle from most. J’Maurice was clever enough to cover a topic that will resonate with many young people, and honestly, just
