“JOE-G. keeps it funky and fresh on “Left, Right,” a track that feels straight out of a modern-day Soul Train line. With its smooth groove, punchy bass, and undeniable rhythm, this jam blends old-school soul with new-school swagger guaranteed to get you moving left, right, and all night.”
“The Fight” opens with a taut, purposeful energy the instruments lock in quickly, establishing a rock-leaning backbone. That initial momentum sets the stage for a song that never quite lets up, even as it shifts between reflection and resistance. The production is polished but not overly slick; there’s still grit in the guitars and urgency in the drums, which keeps the emotion grounded.”
“Maybe” captures that universal moment when love turns uncertain, offering honesty and emotional clarity that listeners will instantly connect to. It’s a song for anyone who’s ever given their all to someone who couldn’t decide.”
“We’ve all had that one weird neighbor. Livingmore decided to take the odd experiences and sounds emitting from from their LA apartment neighbor and spin it into a song. ‘Resident Psycho’ is a gritty Alt Pop/Rock track with some old school psychedelic vibes layered in. Lyrically its more of a vibe than anything else, but the rythmn and hard-charged melody carry the day and you can feel this one in your teeth.”
“Tape Division takes on Country Pop with their latest single ‘Grip Too Tight.’ That is their description of this track but for me the sound is more soulful than country, more bluesy than Pop. This track has a Teddy Swims type vibe and style.
But genre aside the track is well-written and we’ve all certainly held on a little too tight and found ourselves in a vulnerable position as a result.”
“Bad Flamingo has cultivated an air of intrigue and mystery that goes beyond the masks they wear. They often make music that feels dark and gritty yet sensual and intoxicating and this latest track, ‘The Fruit’ is also ripe with these qualities. This is mood music for a darkening world but still somehow you come away delirious with delicious possibilities.
One of my favorite Indie acts out there.”
“Meredith Adelaide delivers an emotive and honest set of lyrics on ‘What Do I know.’ The singer/songwriter taps into a soft emotional side to unfurl an almost stream of consciousness look inward and in her own vulnerability the listener can tap into their own psyche and set of emotions. The vibe is calming and peaceful and lands between Folk and a tender Pop style bit of Adult Contemporary. Though the build ramps up in tension much inthe same way our brain tends to spin on our deeper thoughts.”
“With “Breathe,” Lettuce trades high-energy funk for a smooth, soulful groove that feels like a deep exhale. The horns glide, the rhythm locks in, and the band proves that space can groove as hard as sound. It’s a late-night mood subtle, confident, and effortlessly cool.
Overall, Lettuce slows it down and still keeps it funky.”
“Bino Barnes offers an emotional apology of sorts with his track , ‘I’m Sorry.’ The honesty is infused into every word and along with the I’m Sorry refrain there is a wry sort of acknowledgment that things needed to change and that both parties will be better off moving forward. He manages to execute this without coming across as sardonic or bitter despite the complexity of emotions.”
“Labit is a songwriter in every sense of the word. This Filipino-American is infusing life into all eighteen track of his latest album. The namesake track, ‘Sol’ is an ode to his grandmother and takes the life lessons and wisdom she imparted and infuses it into song. Emotive and tender, the track and album are filled with both love and truth. ”
“Lily Forte comes with a bit of a throwback sound. A dash of Amy Winehouse and a splash of ZZ Ward can be heard but Forte certainly puts her own flair and talent into this track. ‘Miles To Go’ is a sultry liberation anthem that wraps around you like a silk scarf to pull you in close enough to feel warm breath on your neck.”
“We are happy to present, ‘MESSY’ the lead single from Alex Ray’s debut EP. Ray is a Nashville based Alt Pop star in the making and this track about the chaos of of staring at yourself in the mirror and coming to grips with who and what we are.
The hard charged energy is undeniable and the vocal power is expressed in a variety of ways to truly showcase Ray’s talent on multiple fronts.”
“Olive Jones deliver smooth soul-infused pop with her latest track, ‘End Of Time.’ This is a track you can easily groove to behind the wheel or with the lights turned down low and the one that you love in the sheets beside you.
Jones hails from the UK though this kind of sultry smooth vocals transcends borders, to help bring this world closer together in the very best of ways.”
“The world is in chaos and now more than ever it is tough to discern the truth from the propaganda. Of course it is just as difficult to find true authentic music that is not AI or reliant on glossy production and manipulation to sound good.
Florntenes rises above the noise and fray to deliver ‘The News,’ a track tackling all the extranious bullshiot this world spews forth. No BS here, just good old punch you in the face Rock and Roll. Get you some!”
“Originally from Ottawa and now based in Los Angeles, Elijah Woods delivers another pop gem with “Miss You.” The track captures the ache of lost connection through lush production and heartfelt vocals. Woods’ knack for pairing emotional storytelling with catchy, radio-ready melodies shines once again “Miss You” is both intimate and instantly replayable.”
“Taye Blues’ “GTTH” hits hard from the jump a sharp, confident rap track that blends street grit with self-reflection. His flow is clean and assertive, riding a slick beat that keeps your head nodding. Lyrically, Taye spits about hustle, loyalty, and staying true while cutting through the noise.”
“Ezekiel Villanueva’s “Forgiveness” is a alternative rock track, that blends heartfelt vocals with cinematic production. The song moves gracefully between vulnerability and strength, exploring the emotional weight of letting go and finding peace. Villanueva’s voice carries raw sincerity, making each lyric feel deeply personal yet universally relatable. “Forgiveness” blends emotion into rock and ends with a guitar solo.”
“Mike Äpt’s Glitter & Gold shines with smooth production and a classic mix of confidence and reflection. It’s sleek, modern, and aspirational — a reminder that simple is powerful.”
“Kimani Jackson’s “Spaceship FCK” is a slow, futuristic dive into sensuality and escape. The track floats between intimacy and outer space, blending whispery vocals with sleek, atmospheric production. It’s bold, hypnotic, and emotionally raw the kind of R&B that feels both deeply personal and otherworldly.”
“Arya’s “Mind if U” is a resonant, emotional plunge into betrayal and self-realization, wrapped in powerful electronic production. It’s a song that doesn’t just make you feel it makes you live the painful moment when trust fractures, when everything you believed in feels suddenly unsteady.”
