In their latest single, titled “That Right There,” Russ Still and the Moonshiners continue to cultivate an old school country swing that has become increasingly difficult to find in the genre’s mainstream pool. Delivered with a passionate lead vocal that has become a bit of a signature attribute for Still, “That Right There” feels and

Detroit rapper and hip hop star Keish Strong is taking the bedroom talk out of the bedroom and it’s riveting. Her “Special Delivery” is a not an ode to the United States Postal Service by any stretch of the means. It teeters on sexual overt language and keeps the listener bopping along. “Special Delivery” is
In his debut album, titled Smile When You’re Wasted, Vienna-based country singer Marc Miner has one goal above all else – rebelling against the mainstream model in his genre as it’s been shaped by the Nashville establishment – and from where I sit, he couldn’t have done a much better job of hitting the mark here.
A staggered beat is flanked by a bittersweet piano melody as we listen in on the first few seconds of “Barcelona Butterflies,” the debut single from singer/songwriter Leni Black, and as endearingly subtle and wholly surreal as these opening bars of the track are, they’re but a drop in the bucket compared to the breathy
If you ask me, indie singer/songwriters around the world have been doing a pretty good job of weathering the storm of discord and unpredictability 2020 has thrown in our direction, and for evidence supporting this, I point you towards none other than the new record from Canada’s Sébastien Lacombe, Fly, and its lead single “My Thousand
You can say a lot of things about rapper and impresario DawgGoneDavis, but one thing you can’t say is that she gives up. “No More”, Davis’ latest concoction is a blending of killer melodic guitar riffs, passionate backup vocals and Davis’ whimsical spoken word/rap stylings. You might call her style and her image a bit
Saying that 2020 has been a year of diverse output for the international underground just isn’t fair – when compared side by side with recent years past, 2020 has been a rainbow of rhythm and tonality that a lot of critics really couldn’t have seen coming. This fall, Canadian players like Chris Ning are gaining
Even in despair and betrayal, singer/songwriter Tanille exudes grace. Her new song “Not This Time” plays out like a soap opera, but Tanille’s fierce voice and harmonizing leaves the listener to dream up only scenario – she took the high road. “Not This Time” is a love gone wrong story, but it doesn’t mean things
The summer of 2020 has been called many things, but love hasn’t been at the top of many lists. Until now. Summer Of Love, the debut album from Robert Miller is full of delightfully warm, endearing tracks. Miller, who is the driving force behind the popular band, Project Grand Slam, steps up for his first
Baltimore singer Cristal Carrington lights up the night with her thrill of a song “See You Dance”. A splash of Español and a heavy dose of electro pop, this R&B goddess is on her way to something pretty big. It’s rare for an R&B/pop artist to have such an impactful first outing, but “See You
The urban pop songbook of the 90’s is getting the revival it really deserves right now, and it’s coming thanks to independent players like Ronnue, whose new cover of Janet Jackson’s “That’s the Way Love Goes” feels as contemporary as anything topping the charts this autumn does. Right from the moment we press play forward,
Girl, you gonna find out, singer/songwriter Maurice sings in his debut single “The Wall”. It’s late. The night is still young and Maurice takes a detour to his house after a date. His voice carries the weight, the underlying music emphasizes his impassioned desires. “The Wall” is about taking things to the next leavy, getting
Real versus fantasy? Looking past the outer shell, underneath the armor to discover the man within? What is the deeper meaning of “I, Don Quixote”? One man on a mission to interpret the legendary Broadway song is Houston’s Ricky Comeaux. His new album, If I Ruled The World features this piece from Man of La
Peering out from behind a blanket of silence with a glimmer of melodic ribbonry, “Giants” slowly finds a route out of the darkness and into the light, eventually filling the air around us with an aural richness I simply wasn’t prepared to hear when I first sat down with Twin Flames’ Omen this past weekend. Strikingly different
Industry without inspiration never leaves a lasting impact. Hard work and discipline often produce a reliable product but, without the spark of love behind its creation, posterity will take a dim view of its ultimate worth. Ten years ago, worldwide charting singer/songwriter, musician, and producer Stephen Wrench launched Musik and Film, LLC, henceforth referred to
“I’m facing four walls / I’m going nowhere at all” complains a frustrated Jupiter in Velvet at the onset of the record-opening “And so the Earth Stood Still” from Punk Goes the Velvet, his vocal and its lyrics echoing much of the mood that will persist throughout the entirety of the tracklist here. Putting rebellion at
Pop singer Giadora has been taking her time stepping into fame. Her first single, “Twisted,” was released in 2019 to more than a warm reception from critics and fans – it lit up almost sixty thousand streams in the wake of its debut, and immediately had the independent press sniffing around for the new and
Rolling out of the shadows with a fiery guitar-driven groove that only gets hotter as we press on, “Simple Song” is anything but, and it’s a fair taste of what listeners should expect to find around every turn in the new album Live at the Saxon Pub from Matt Smith. Billed as Matt Smith’s World, Smith and
