Alvin Harrison – “I’m So Happy” – Single Review So lemme make sure I’ve got this straight here…Alvin Harrison “wrote this on Valentine’s Day…FOR THE MUSIC CREATORS OUT THERE” according to the write-up that comes along with the official posting of his new single “I’m So Happy.” Did ya!?! On the ONE day of the […]Read More
Lazarus Benson – “Red” Feat. DJ Nyke – Single Review It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Lazarus Benson…somewhere back in 2022 in the summer of last year with his single “Relapse” I believe. He pretty much disappeared from a ton of pages online shortly after that track got put out, but bo matter […]Read More
Jerry Pines – Heaven – EP Review Back when I originally heard the title-track from this new EP by Jerry Pines, I was still heading towards my fourteenth anniversary. Now that the full record has officially been released and I’ve flown past my fifteenth, it seems like we’re both in a real good place and […]Read More
Ricardo Redd – “Goodbye To Dating Apps” – Single Review Full transparency, I saw the title for this tune and felt like the odds were gonna be stacked against it. I’m just one step removed from still having a flip phone y’all…I’ve had an iphone since they came out way back when, and I’ve basically […]Read More
Greg Norton – “Echoes” – Single Review Yeah! I’d say I’m happy with this song, and I feel like good ol’ Greg should be too. I mean…if there’s something about it that he could have done better, I feel like that’s eluding me. I think there’s a fair argument to be made that he’s not […]Read More
Dadanaut – Massenkater – Album Review “In thought, a very political album, very critical of the general public. But maybe it was just Dadanaut’s head cinema.” I get some of the most beautifully unique, and all-out strange notes sometimes I tell ya. At the very least, it’s the kind of description that gets my attention, […]Read More
Blunt Objects – Shady Shadows – Album Review Blunt Objects…Blunt Objects…I feel like I should be able to place that name… … …… ………oh RIGHT! Blunt Objects – the project from Bill Owens that I’ve basically written about all year – THAT Blunt Objects. Got it. It has indeed been a month…let’s get back to […]Read More
Young E Class – “Hit The Plug” / “Grim” – Singles Review “Fuck your feelings…” Mine specifically? I suppose that’s fair. Jokes on you though bro – I stopped using those years ago. What’s real is that Young E Class has definitely got a vibe fully relevant & built for what’s happening out there right […]Read More
Stray Tablet – “Broken Star” / “Just Smile” – Singles Review People make me smile. Much more than numbers do lol. I think sometimes folks can forget I’m in promotions and know the mechanics of the machine more than they realize – this is who I am. Anyhow. Stray Tablet’s PULLING IN THEM DIGITS Y’ALL […]Read More
Hovig Nassanian – Tributes – Album Review This dude seems like a genuinely nice guy. As I was reading the stories behind the songs he’s written on his third solo-piano album, Tributes, I kept coming back to how much personality it seems like Hovig Nassanian has in behind the music. He’s put a lot of […]Read More
