Yvonne Sangudi – “MistaRomeo” – Single Review It’s interesting to me that Pop music would still easily be considered one of the world’s top genres when it comes to the mainstream after being here with the independents for so long…I feel like if someone asked me what genres I see the most of or have […]Read More
Victoria Celestine – “Alive” – Single Review Massive YES to this. I love everything about Victoria Celestine’s new single…which is kind of a given…we’ll likely ALL feel the same about “Alive.” What can I say? I have a penchant for melody and fantastic singers – don’t you? For real, if she keeps up what she’s […]Read More
Smoking Martha – “Baby Let Me Go” – Single Review Ever since I heard this band for the first time back in 2015, not a year has gone by since that I haven’t completely looked forward to hearing from this band in whatever possible way I can. Whether it’s a new single, video, album…you name […]Read More
Ed Hale – So For Real – Album Review Sometimes you just know. I’m gonna write some words here for ya…and not a single one of them are going to do this album any justice. All I can truly say, is that you gotta hear this one for yourself…and that I highly recommend you do. […]Read More
Sawyer – Soul City – EP Review Don’t let the write-up in their bio fool you…Sawyer’s a force to be reckoned with. In the humble description you’ll find on their site, it’ll tell you that this four-piece is “your favorite dive bar band with catchy melodies and hooks sure to be played at any and every […]Read More
Howard Louis – Cutting Cords (Remixed & Remastered) – Album Review Let’s all say it together this time…’a great song is never finished, only abandoned.’ So too would be the case for an album by that logic. Back in 2010, Howard Louis put out his debut record Cutting Cords – and here it is again […]Read More
Jordan Carroll – “The Wind Will Blow Us Home” – Single Review As some of you out there already know…I either have a memory like an elephant or a goldfish when it comes to music and there’s rarely anything in between these two parameters. Essentially, I either remember you for life, or I forget quickly…I […]Read More
JRS3 – “Run” – Single Review Well right on…it’s always easier to write these things when everything is on-point. It was back in April of last year that I heard JRS3 while reviewing a couple singles that had been dropped online…and full disclosure, I didn’t quite ‘get it’ back then. If my memory serves correct, […]Read More
Jaiz – “Dreams” Featuring Snypod – Single Review Well jeez – this dude is practically slummin’ it today by being here! If you have even a quick peek online at what this emcee has been up to, you’ll see he’s racked up millions of hits on his videos & music…which by my count…I think is […]Read More
Joan Mercury – Mercury Rising – Album Sampler/Singles Review I’ll tell you this much, when you’re shipped over four songs from a brand-new album coming out and three of those tunes have already been released as advance singles – and they ALL come from the first four tracks in the lineup…I mean…you gotta assume there’s […]Read More
