A single from Lana Crow delves into societal approaches of the world we live in and how they can affect each individual person as well as the group as a whole. She digs into the aspect of self-righteousness and how we all turn to screens to get our fix, information, news, and media. The approach speaks of how this is not really good for society as a whole. And she's absolutely right. Now, this is just how I interpreted the song; others may take it a little differently, but fo

A freshly released album from Brandon Tomasello delivers a brilliant and classic crooner style, complete with fully orchestrated works, lively energy, and a vibrant character that shines through from beginning to end. The songs on this record have a particular way of reaching out and grabbing you. This is for the people who grew up listening to The Rat Pack, Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Tony Bennett, and the rest of them, who had a huge hand in creating this unique and very memorabl

A new release from Talking To Yourself brings out a soiree of electronic soundscapes that blend with elements of hip hop, R&B, dance, and plenty more, all rolled into this semi nostalgic Sensation that gives off the air of classic influences along with fresh ones. The  Glowstick  record definitely has loads of different attributes that it brings to the table, some of them driven by '80s and '90s pop or hip hop, while others bring together more of a fresh electronic tonality.

A new single release from Maya Wells manages to deliver this very personal sentiment that has a lot to do with pushing through certain kinds of life struggles, pain, and more. The song is based on having the strength to keep moving forward, and I found this to be incredibly connective right from the start. One of the things that really hits hardest about this track is those lyrics. They're delivered with a great robustness in the vocals, and the entire song has a bit of a roc

Welcome to the warm and descriptive world of Ted Stanley. His new single "Shoreline" tells a story that lets you visualize everything and keeps that emotion in hand with this subtle Americana song. PR: Ted Stanley began writing songs in New York as a way to deal with emotional times and found it to be an outlet that helped him. "'Bottle in my Hand' was written after a dear friend lost his battle with drug and alcohol abuse. He died in the harsh winter 1999 on the streets of M

A new release from Sara Paar and Marcia Eckert brings together works from 4 different composers, including Jake Heggie, Ned Rorem, Louise Talma, and Germaine Tailleferre, and is segmented so that each one has a series of pieces throughout the record. The first of those is Jake Heggie, which comes through as an operatic set or works that feel heavily theatrical and certainly tell a story as the songs unfold. The pieces focus on piano and robust vocals that have a beautiful int

A recent release from Patti Cudd delivers a percussive world that surrounds you and gives off a cinematic backbone with a brilliant blending of vocal, electronic, and natural instrumentation that come together to create worldly sounds and atmospheres. The Cyanotypes record takes subtle approaches to mending electronic and vocal textures into this unique soundscape, offering up something outside the box and refreshing while remaining true to the art of creating with percussion

A very vivacious and personality-laced EP release from Elles Bailey just came out, and this record brings together such a lively soul approach but also peppers in funk, rock, and even southern undertones throughout it, making it something that definitely bursts at the seams with that soul-pop approach but also brings a lot of other influences to the table. This is a very refreshing record. You can hear a lot of honesty, and again, that personality just comes shining through a
