Darrin Lee Jr. – Push – EP Review No pressure quite like the pressure of the CEO of a label stepping up to drop new music out there – gotta lead the way by example, right? At least that’s what you’d assume – but they don’t call him Mr. R&B for nothin’ y’all – Darrin […]Read More
Carla Marie McKrell & Joe Vulpis – “Now’s The Time” – Single Review I will admit…there are not too many times I can recall seeing a dedicated artist with a declared talent like Carla McKrell has as an ‘all-occasion pianist’ and then listen to a song wondering where it is, or why it wouldn’t have […]Read More

Did I mention these all got put out this […]Read More

Scott Zosel – “Flow” – Single Review So many thoughts about this tune…where to start, where to start?
