Mario Marco Farinato – “L’Ultimo Respiro” – Single Review I have long stood by a tremendous truth about songwriting that has long been known by few and overlooked by many, and that’s that a great song…not just a good song, but a GREAT song, will translate from artist-to-artist, genre-to-genre, even language-to-language and never lose the […]Read More
Mario Marco Farinato – “Nel Deserto” – Single Review Right on! I really enjoyed Mario Marco Farinato’s music the last time I had a chance to check out what he was up to in the first-half of 2016 last year…even though we might speak different languages in our own native tongues, the universal language of […]Read More
Black Astronaut – “Watching The Whites Of My Eyes Turn Red” Feat. Gyro – Single Review Hey now…this is fun! First time we’ve checked out a Black Astronaut track via YouTube…in a month where we’ve covered this project extensively, that tiny switch in media-format went a long way to adding a bit more enjoyment to […]Read More
N0va – Whip Sessions II – Album Review Great start to Whip Sessions II from independent hip-hop sensation N0va…the smooth sound of “The Go’ Round” proves that he is on that ‘whole different level’ and ready to make the most of this sequel; you can hear immediate improvement on what we’ve already known to sound […]Read More
Black Astronaut – “Tight” Featuring InZane – Single Review Perfection in the art of using the space in music to their advantage – it’s the pacing, deadly-movements and gigantic beat that lead this combination of talent to victory on the new Black Astronaut single “Tight.” With more direct-to-the-point & aggressive lyrics than we’ve experienced in […]Read More
Black Astronaut – “Addicts Mind” Featuring Jonathan BT & B Daz– Single Review Black Astronaut got bars – don’t let anyone tell ya different. A seriously interesting dynamic that exists throughout the entire Black Astronaut project, brought to us all from the mind of Charles Luck, has certainly been the different vibes put into the […]Read More
Chames – Self-Actualization 2 – Album Review Great to hear this guy coming back so strongly. Not that it’s been all that long since the last time we heard from Chames; it’s only been about a year’n change since we first reviewed his album Siddhartha’s Revelations…but even if it’s it’s only been a short time […]Read More
Nothing But You – Meant To Be – Album Review While it’s easy for me to admit that show-tunes, lounge, dramatic & theatrical performances generally aren’t something that connect with me – it’s also easy for me to admit that I was all smiles while listening to the sincerity and genuine passion in the music […]Read More
Melvin Fromm Jr. – Singles Review I have to admit…I’m intrigued! When the loose-feel and bizarre chord progressions started to come together on the first song I heard from Melvin Fromm Jr. called “Angel Wings Flapping Life,” I was pretty convinced that I wasn’t going to end up finding a way to accept what I […]Read More
Joe King Carrasco Y Los Side FX – Chiliando – Album Sampler/Singles Review Well…I might not know much, but I definitely can recognize the sound of a good time when I hear one! Self-described as ‘Tex-Mex infused Rock’n’Roll’ – I can’t recall having that on our pages before, so this should be interesting to say […]Read More
