The Sunspots however are new to the musical landscape. ‘Cut To The Chase’ is the first release and if it is any indication of the talent involved expect THe Sunspots to shine bright for a long time to come. This is old school Retro Soul at its finest and that sound when well-executed is timeless.”

M&J brings old school shades of Soul and mixes them with Contemporary R&B vibes to create what I think best fits the Roots/ Americana landscape, but like I said this is simply good quality music that transcends both labels and time.
’Islands, Diamonds, and Silence’ is a song that lives deep down in the emotional core of humanity. A song you feel as much as hear.”
“Amy Swift bursts with sultry and defiant attitude on ‘ Under.’ The soulful Alt Pop track is all about that dangerous kind of love.

“Swedish songman, Bror Gunnar Jansson delivers the vibes with ‘Refuge,’ a slow steady track that builds and pulls the listener along. You could draw some comparison to Teddy Swims if you feel the need to lump Jansson in with an artist you already know, but there is an added dark or sinister vibe that made me think of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Overall I;d call this soulful, Blues.”

Eastcliff does a great job of allowing the emotions to dictate the pace and build. ‘Kaleidoscope’ is a journey and one well worth taking.”
