Jonni Slater – Hold On – EP Review Pretty sure there’s not much else you could potentially do to raise expectations any higher; citing comparisons like Jeff Buckley, David Bowie, Beck and Radiohead on his social-media pages – Jonni Slater has set himself up to have to really deliver after such a comment. Question of […]Read More
Dave Childz – Forever Real – Album Review I’ve had some extraordinary luck and amazing finds within the independent rap-scene. Seems to be there’s something about the competitiveness that inherently resides within that genre that really allows it all to consistently raise its game up to the next level with the next emcee to grip […]Read More
Chames – Siddhartha’s Revelations – Album Review Having no clue what I’d be in for with this album from Chames, when it first began with the 20th Century Fox theme music, I had to almost chuckle a little. Chances are – I figured from that moment on – or hoped rather – that there would […]Read More
Miss Chay Bella – “I Just Wanna (Parties)” – Single Review This is bizarre but fun composition to listen to & think about, I’ve gotta say! There is a lot I like about Miss Chay Bella’s new single “I Just Wanna (Parties)” – but I won’t lie to you either, there’s a lot that confused […]Read More
Meshach Abednego – “Born In The U.S.A.” – Single Review Happy to have another crack at this bat! Last time around when we first reviewed Meshach’s music on a previous single, “Just Be Glad To Be Here,” I had found lots interesting, but also a little puzzling perhaps. Like eclectic artists that have a flair […]Read More
Denise Renee Caplock – Soundcloud Mix – Singles Review Ok! So! Today I officially feel like I’m not sure I have any idea of what I’m about to review here today on the page…Denise Renee Caplock (said in stern motherly tone) you need to clean up your room! LOL…I’m just giving her a hard time […]Read More
A.S.H.E.S. The CHOSEN – “#SayHerName” Featuring SaeMonae & Brynn Elyzabeth – Single Review I love it when a message comes at you direct, on-point and with a beat like this new track from A.S.H.E.S. The CHOSEN featuring SaeMonae & Brynn Elyzabeth; we’ve been a fan of the dude’s work for a while now – but […]Read More
Those Shadow People – When The Lights Go Out – EP Review Our favourite colourful, cartoon-creations are back in action; Those Shadow People continue their comic-book/art/music project with When The Lights Go Out, once again finding a stellar mix of texture, atmosphere and genuine creativity through all of the forms they take on. Something about […]Read More
Michael Hubbard – The Breakup – Album Review I’m man enough to admit that when an album starts out with a ‘Danny-Boy’-esque opening that I’m instantly scared…at least usually. As “Prelude” starts out…it seems to include or incorporate the old classic song somewhat into the melody…the intro itself is less than thirty seconds long, and […]Read More
Jordan Carroll – “You Know That I Know” – Single Review Back-to-back Jordan’s on the page! I feel like it’s 1997-98 up in here and we just took home a set of championship rings in Chicago for the stellar new music on the page today from the two Jordan’s we’ve discovered. First Jordan Paul and […]Read More
