Tom Tikka and the Missing Hubcaps’ new album This Is My Happy Face is far from your standard boy meets girl pop/rock or other cookie cutter subjects. Tikka, instead, has penned an album about the Big Casino, death and may or may not await us following that looming eventuality, If this augers a heavy-going listen to you,

In the new single “Any Moment,” collaborators Le Sonic and Robert Lee prove once and for all that in jazz, and really any instrumentation-dominant genre of music, sometimes the notion that less is more isn’t just a notion – it’s the gospel truth. Le Sonic doesn’t try to get into our heads with a lot
When you listen to Calvyn Cass, you are intrigued, but not necessarily aware of just how eclectic he is. When you look at him, you want to look at him, more. Calvyn Cass is one of those individuals, you have to see to believe. Even after seeing him, you may be in denial over his
Coming at us from seemingly every corner of the speakers, we find ourselves assaulted by neon melodies as light as they are fierce behind the lead vocal in “Superhero – EDM Remix.” DJ Shaw-T is on hand to amp up the groove in the background, but Priceless Lion’s smooth lead vocal up at the top
Comprised of nothing more than a brooding piano part and a dynamic lead vocal that could have brought me to my knees without any instrumental componentry beside it, Bailey Flores’ cover of Doja Cat’s smash “Kiss Me More” might be one of the few aesthetically reimagined covers I’ve heard all year long. From one angle,
What seems the most pivotal when it comes to an artist’s career? Soul power. What has been the most pivotal moment in your career? Leaving home and college for music. Talking about pivotal moments, new music coming? Can you chat with us about it? Still working on this album. New music next year… How are
Molly Hanmer and the Midnight Tokers are far from an one trick pony. The first taste from their upcoming second studio album, Get Loose, is a razor-sharp punk rock track titled “Sick of Me”. Hanmer and the rest of the band ask listeners to give them almost two and a half minutes out of their lives
From an instrumental perspective, Nadia Vaeh’s “Never Leave the Basement” is a pretty plain pop single that doesn’t sport the same indulgence a lot of the other content coming out of her scene this summer has been. It’s got the simple guitar parts, a faint bassline skirting the percussion and forming a sweet groove, and
Pop music is being shaped by a young generation ready to take over the industry before they’re even out of high school, and in Jojo Engelbert’s new single “Grown Up,” the talented singer asserts herself as one of the premier players to watch in her scene. A playful pop harmony entertains a dangerously punky rhythm
Eclecticism is the key to success in modern pop, and GiGi Vega has found a way to incorporate it in her sound without abandoning the core aesthetics of her genre at its simplest in the new single “Down Crazy.” It all begins with the beat in this song, atop which Vega drops as much melodic
Gentle whispers caress poignant melodies in “The Way of Love.” Crisp guitars collide with a punky beat to form atmospheric grooves in “Loneliness.” The smooth glow of the instrumental harmonies challenges Chris Donohoe for supremacy in “Cut Too Deep.” From the easy-rolling swagger of “Let the Light In” to the ascending melodic charms of “Your
Everyone has a day or memory they would prefer to return to at will. The basic concept of missing out on a day from your past, or wanting to go back in time to change the past, has been explored in just about every different area of popular culture. As long as the genre of
Hello Viviane! How are you doing today? Hello!! I am very good, thank you! Tell us about your teaching background! My teaching background is very international. I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where my teaching career began. I have taught in Brazil, United States, and Portugal. I have always taught Elementary School
Sometimes a beat can tell a story without much else to lean on, and while there’s certainly more to the musical might in “One Step,” it’s definitely a groove-driven performance from the collaborating Head Fake and Dub Fu Masters this summer. One of the three songs comprising their new EP Head Fake Vs Dub Fu Masters,
Recording in Nashville always has an effect on the artist in charge of the project, and in virtually all cases, the aesthetics of the content they’re recording. While Brooke Josephson is more known for her straightforward pop harmonies than she is any form of pastoral poeticisms, her new single “Rainbow” definitely takes something away from
Sometimes a major saving grace for an album is by the sheer dedication to its vision and in STREAKING IN TONGUES’ newest release Slow Dancing with Bigfoot, the vision is one of absurdity that finds itself grounded with real emotion and a purveying sense of melancholy. The group consisting of poet Marty Achatz and musicians
When I first heard the band The The, I thought the lead singer was too cool for school. I felt like he was just singing between puffs of cigarette and modeling for Calvin Klein or some cult-following fashion designer. After hearing “Alice” from singer/songwriter (and model) Trevor Drury, my world was once again derailed. Drury, like Matt Johnson,
The new single by Darrell Kelley, covers the case of Ronald Greene. The aptly titled “Ronald Greene,” tells the story of the final day of the aforementioned. Ronald Greene was a 49 year old, Monroe, LA citizen, who was killed in an incident involving police. Ronald Greene led police on a high speed chase, before
Singer Ashley Suppa is feeling all the pressures of a relationship and whatever life is throwing at her. She doesn’t want to be a hassle to her boyfriend or her friends – but in her new song “Trouble” it’s nearly impossible to not be ensconced by her delicious pop harmonies. This addictive song is so
Singer/songwriter Calvyn Cass strikes gold yet again this year with his single “You Always”. Following his melancholic but effective single “White Flag”, Cass trades the downtempo track for something with a bit more energy but doesn’t compromise the scathing and intelligent lyricism that made “White Flag” equally memorable. In a way, it’s almost like a
It’s good to hear songs like this again. I hope they find commercial acceptance. New Jersey musician, singer, and songwriter Doug Kistner’s love for the smooth musical strands of units such as Steely Dan and Chicago must be real, this is a style with few remaining practitioners, rendered quaint by the bling and electronic-driven attitude
One of my favorite albums that dropped last year was Gorillaz’s Song Machine. I’ve been a longtime fan of Damon Albarn, not only because of his abilities in pushing the boundaries of musical cross-pollination but for his effortless abilities to interweave cultural significance and modern issues into the song. “Boulders Weepng (Cry No More)”, feels
A few years back Michael W. Smith sang of finding his place in this world. In 2018 Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton released “Say Something” to shed light on societal pressures and confidence to speak aloud. Now this year, singer/songwriter extraordinaire Eline Fluery floors listeners with her also- titled, “Say Something” from her debut album
Darrell Kelley’s, “Wasn’t Justified” is deliberately and dutifully transparent. It tells the story of Andrew Brown. JR, a North Carolina man who was killed by police. It was alleged that he used his a car as a deadly weapon, posing lethal harm to police. Andrew Brown JR was an African American male, and there is
It won’t be long before the name Tedi Brunetti is synonymous with Pittsburgh, PA; the multi-talented drummer/singer/songwriter/retired ultrasound technician leaves nothing to chance with her latest musical outing, The Queen of Pittsburgh, and ultimately that’s the directive most needed to ensure her success. The approach taken for this album meant bringing in Brunetti’s extended network
What music do you have in the works right now? Right now I’ve got a new single set to release on June 26th entitled “Date Night”. It’s a fun, chill and romantic sort of vibe that explores different ways in which people date. Verse one is about staying in, cozying up on the couch with someone

There’s certain new freedom given to the artistic mindset when you’re able to rebrand yourself and take another stab at your chosen career path in the arts; ask any artist you know, they would probably ogle at the possibility of a clean slate or a smooth rebranding opportunity that wasn’t tied to their established past
