“It can be easy to give too much of yourself and lose part of your identity in loving another. ‘Used To Breath’ from LA artist, Sophia Kaloustian is a Indie Pop track about reinventing or at least reinvigorating yourself on the other side of such a relationship.”
“Mark your calendars now to catch Johnny Manchild and the poor Bastards at the Roxy on March 27th. The sunset Strip will be alive for this Oklahoma City band to perform ‘Already Over’ as well as a catalogue of other great tracks.
The band is genre defying as they blend Rock and Jazz in to an Emo brand of Alternative Rock.”
“Walter The Producer has a unique vocal tone that quickly goes from surprising to engaging in its honest earnest delivery. ‘Tell Me again’ is a track with an undeniable energy and provocation that keeps you leaning in and listening for what comes next. The Indie Rock vibe delivers a timeless kind of sound that simply feels like a good honest music.”
“No one likes to be overlooked and underestimated especially when chasing their dreams. ASHY (pronounced ‘Ahh-She’) is an effervescent pop artist & songwriter hailing from Aotearoa, New Zealand and here on this track, she faces down her doubters with sultry confidence.”
“Amanzi delivers smooth Retro Soul grooves on her latest single, ‘In The Dark.’
The UK artist, with South African roots, brings both power and emotive finesse to this track which feels like a sultry summer night next to the one you love.”
“Meridia hails from the UK and draws inspiration from bands such as King Gizard & the Lizard Wizard and Alice in Chains.
’A New Man’ is a track about not getting in your own way and letting your emotions derail you. The track is pore Rock and in some ways comes with a style and sound that harkens back to the 90s. That said the band has a Contemporary or rather timeless edge that simply works. ”
“Kylie Rothfield has the rare gift to draw listeners in emotional with one or two words. ‘Temporary’ is a track about the fleeting nature of love and wella ctualy most things in this world. Rothfield delivers the performance with ease though that only happens when an artists has that extra emotive ability to convey their thoughts with a precise earnestness. ”
“Red Lotus stands and delivers on his new track, ‘The Game.’ There is a Kendrick level intricacy to the message and intent and it gives the song a power that is rare these days, but for this one I;m going to let the artists tell you more.
From Red Lotus ... “This song was inspired by a powerful lesson my father used to share with me before he was tragically murdered: ‘The game ain’t free. Nothing in life is free; even when we gain, we must lose something.’ It’s a lyrical rap track with cypher-like elements, rooted in storytelling—a craft I believe is becoming a lost art in hip-hop. The message emphasizes the sacrifices that come with life’s pursuits, delivered with raw emotion and thought-provoking lyrics. This track is for anyone who values meaningful narratives and the authenticity of classic hip-hop.”
A song to dive in and digest over multiple listens. ”
“Money, money, money is sung about nearly as much as love. ‘Money Can’t Buy Happiness’ by Joveth is a new track taking on the subject of wealth and fame.
The staccato delivery and Pop sensibilities give the song an easy energy, but the message remains one we all need to be reminded of from time to time.”
“What would it sound like if Busta Rhymes took on performing some Eminem?
Drop Dead Lane gives us an idea on ‘Live Your Life.’ At least early on the growl and gravel and rapid hard hitting flow had that feel. The track did have a few different vibes and sounds so it stands on its own but that was my initial reaction before the lyrical intensity took over and had me solely focused on this build.”
“Bad things happen in life and how we handle them really is what defines us. The same can be said of a relationship as we all need that person by our side that will ride out the storm with us. ‘Damage is Done’ by Vacation Manor is an ode to such a partnership and love.
The soft delivery is calming just as a partner needs to be in tumultuous times. The emotions ring true and this song provides a nice comfort for a crazy world we all live in.”
“Matt Sahadi weaves a tale of lost love and a journey to rekindle the spark in the hauntingly beautiful track, ‘Halfway to Charlotte.’
Love is one of the the few things that can shake us up enough to rush headfirst into the last place you want to go. This song is about that leap of faith and facing your fears to chase after the thing you need the most.
The stripped down feel matches the emotions perfectly and you can feel the rubber meeting the road on this engaging song. ”
“Few things spawn as many songs as newfound love and Sitting on Saturn teams up with G. Love to unleash their take on this set of emotions. ‘Rose Colored Glasses’ is all about the way a new crush can make everything in the world seem better.
This track brings an Indie Rock energy with a little bit of a Pop edge. Another fun track for your playlists dedicated to love.”
“Valentine’s Day needs a bit of Retro Soul to get the party started and South of Savoy delivers with their new release, ‘Love the Feeling.’
The track offers an energetic ode to love with hints of that vintage sound and the kind of timeless lyrics that always land. A fun track sure to put a smile on your lover’s face and a little spring in both your steps as you move together either in or out of bed.”
“Jelly Crystal and nicole Saboune team up on this Pop infused Country ode to the beautiful fragility of life and the anxiety we all fear of our impermanence. The vocals are loving and tender and this track will no doubt be shared among loving couples as a stand in for their love and fear that forever simply isn’t long enough.”
“We all go through some lulls in life and it is those dark places and times that lend to the good and hopeful times feeling all the more uplifting. Madisyn Gifford gives us a soundtrack for those transformative moments when the clouds lift and the sun finds its way to our smiling faces once again. ‘Die Happy’ is a Pop Folk track that feels like emerging from a heavy, emotional cocoon. ”
“Our views of our parents definitely change as we age and experience our own turn as the head of a family. Kurt Lee Wheeler captures that journey brilliantly with ‘Hesitant Father.’
The acoustical track is emotive and emotional. You can call it Folk or simply Singer/Songwriter but really the heart of this one is universal. The reflective and personal nature is one that we can all fall in and feel.”
“JWADI doesn’t mess around jumping straight right into it on this Reggae heavy Alt Rock fusion. This song is a vibe. I fell in and felt it deep within me. With each subsequent listen I found new lyrical nuances to keep me coming back time and time again.”
“Citi Limitz feels like a throwback in some ways as R7B trios seem rare these days and this group would be right at home in the late 80s. That said ‘The Most/If The Only Knew’ has a modern edge that is right at home in today’s musical landscape.
The track has that smooth groove you;d expect and the lyrical punch to make you feel exactly what they are laying down.”
“Vocab Slick teams up with Starski to give an engaging Old School Hop-Hop track and video. The lyrical flow hits bringing a story as well as a strong hook. The video adds to the grit and dynamic and the flow is delivered with that hard hitting verve few Hip-Hop artists let come out these days. This is a track with both grit and genuine flavor that simple feels legit.”
