Introspect – ROI – Album Review Dig this guy’s perspective and skills without a doubt! From the moment I pushed play and the “Intro” started jammin’ – I felt like ROI was going to reveal this Canadian artist in all-star form, backed up with the production of his homie Flipmode…it’s the return of Introspect, and […]Read More
Blood Rose – “Darkness Falls” – Single Review So…hmm…on the brightest of sides, I do think there’s an idea at the core of this cut. I’m somewhat known as the guy that’ll keep it real with the scene and tell folks how I genuinely feel about whatever I’m listening to. Sure, there’s a sense of […]Read More
Pete Gustard – Silent – EP Review Ayyyyy – you KNOW we love having Pete Gustard’s music on our playlists! Year after year this guy has put out records stocked full of tunes we love, whether it’s how we found him in the band Seashaped many moons ago, his solo work throughout the past couple […]Read More

Lette Weaver – “Patio” – Single Review I definitely remember Lette Weaver from earlier this year when I reviewed her single “Toxic” towards the end of summer – in terms of identity, skill, and style, I’d be surprised if anyone out there that’s ever heard her music could possibly forget her…she’s genuinely as memorable as […]Read More
Stefano Pesapane – “Quando Non Ci Sei” / “Un Solo Respiro” – Singles Review This dude already has such a storied career and has achieved so much in his lifetime from his 30+ years of experience that, believe me, the last thing Stefano Pesapane really needs is any confirmation from someone like me. His resume […]Read More
Jill Benson – Reminiscence – Album Review Personally, I think one of the most incredible things we can ever witness in this lifetime is an artist with a natural connection to music.
