“Hold On Me” is the newest single from Los Angeles based, Singer/Songwriter and Reggae enthusiast, Nathan Harrington. Harrington is categorized as a Reggae artist, but in all honesty, there’s a bit more to him than that. He looks like a guitar playing, surfer, with depth. At 21, he appears much more masculine than you would

We’ve all been in one place or another where we’ve had to confront our version of faith. Not so much in the religious sense, though it can be applicable for some, I mean when we don’t know what’s happening to us or the world around us. We can process it, but it still pierces us,
(POULSBO, WA.) “MERMAID – A DREAM MADE REAL” is a 150 page picture book featuring professional Mermaid Aura Stiers “The Swashbuckling Mermaid” based out of Poulsbo, WA. THE SWASHBUCKLING MERMAID: Mermaid Aura is also nicknamed The Swashbuckling Mermaid as she is a SCA Rapier fighter who enjoys a good melee every now and then. THE
With Hip Hop duo, Conceptz, it’s a family affair. Two brothers from New York, who each play a specific and key role in the group’s infrastructure, are making some of the most compelling noise in music, at the moment. Conceptz has been around for about 9 years, now, and they certainly haven’t been phoning it
Tell me if this sounds familiar. Sounds that evoke the late-night buzz of a neon bar sign, almost the call to action of a chaotic night out. A harmonious tenor voice that sweeps you immediately off your feet and he’s singing, almost luring you to the effects of something that’s taken over his body. Women,
“Can I Go Now” is the 4th & newest single from Avni Vir Vineet. The group is a father, daughter & son trio, based out of India. Taking this into consideration, their music probably sounds exactly like you’d expect it to, with all of the youthful folly in place, but also a distinct charm. They
Kiron Rasheed is a man with many aliases and equally as many, job descriptions. His music is the most defining aspect of his character, though. His most recent release, “Ask About Me” is a hybrid powerhouse, that features guest vocalist, Leah Rich. It’s a follow up to Rasheed’s Oct 2020 release, “Ba Lee Dat,” and
You’ve been working on new music! Has it been easier or harder working on music virtually? Well, I’m pretty new to putting music out there. I’ve been in the industry for a while but never for myself, and it’s been pretty okay. I am excited to start actually performing. What has the experience been like
Straight out of Chicago, Pop rockers, Go Time have released their latest studio album, Eight Ball. There’s a great deal of experience, amongst the group, who have all been staples in the Chicago music scene, for some time. For their recent effort, they recruited Mike Hagler of King Sized Sound Lab Studios. Hagler has worked
The past year has allowed for something we don’t see much in modern times – an underground left to simmer and go unstirred for a solid four seasons. Since the spring of 2020 commenced, live music has been essentially nonexistent, and artists from rooks to vets the same have been inside cultivating and evolving in
Great songs need five-star vocalists to properly shine. J. Buck’s soulful bray is the most powerful thing in Andrew “King” Cole’s new single “The Mean Season”, but it isn’t the only distinguishing element of this modern pop jewel. Buck, nevertheless, inhabits each minute of this recording with a freeing joy in his voice as it
We hear you have an alter ego? How did this come about? My alter ego is 182 Water. It is a side of myself that has always been inside, but was afraid to come out fully. On blackout tuesday last year, I felt the call to make my rapper alter ego a reality. Normally Water Tower
Federico Balducci’s Dancing Trees is a short four song instrumental collection. Balducci has past releases to his credit and enjoys a growing reputation as one of the pre-eminent guitarists playing today but deserves mention as one of popular music’s most underrated composers. Each of the four tracks chosen for this release are standouts for a variety of
Firing up a brawl-starting groove like a classic blues-inspired bar band, the supporting players know they’re going to have to do a lot to keep up with Linda Imperial in her new single “My Heart Rocks,” and their passionate play reflects this. They hit the ground running in this track by tying together the rhythm
You are so fierce! How do you maintain that for any artist that is struggling with feeling confident? I take control of my thoughts. Anytime thoughts of fear or doubt enter my mind, I quickly switch them to empowering statements about myself. The more you do this, the more it becomes second nature, and when
Equal parts, Pop and Country, Larry J likes to keep it simple, when it comes to songwriting. He’s been compared to Keith Urban, but believes he has more in common with Neil Young; one of his primary influences, of course. Personally, after hearing his two new singles, I have to err towards the former, but
There’s a lot of love on display in Richard Lynch’s newest release My Guitar Drips Country. It’s not just limited to the subject matter he sings about either, this 12 track powerhouse was formed from an innocent place. A send up to his deceased friend and country icon Doug Supernaw, Lynch is a true humanist,
Rock music needs songwriters who compose and play like they are tapping into a raw nerve ending. Davy Williamson’s “Thin Disguise” is the work of a songwriter who understands how to dramatize human emotion in popular song. The personal nature of the lyrics never feels too personal to me, Williamson writes about subjects and in
There isn’t much Rob Alexander will hold back from in telling a good story in his music, and if you needed some evidence supporting this, you won’t have to look much further than his new record Dream Out Loud to find it. Among the record’s tracklist we find a star single in “A Song to Get Us
As the pandemic escalates and the world is again sequestered in its own isolation “Invisible Stranger” by Chicago based number one indie group The PondHawks becomes more relevant. A song exploding with harmony and upbeat sounds of synth, “Invisible Stranger” warns while it inspires, it frightens while it hopes, and it prays while it empowers.
We’ve all heard inspiring songs, or some of us grew up listening to church music that is quick to give goose bumps on each listen. An angelic choir or the voice of a single angel can turn even the most cynical of listeners into believing in a greater good or heavenly power. Even if you’re
Talent knows no borders, whether they be linguistic or otherwise, and this is certainly proven true when listening to just a few minutes of the new EP Reborn from rising singer/songwriter Caterina J. Although hardly shaped by her voice exclusively, the multilingual Caterina J’s brooding croon is perhaps the most fetching element to behold in this five-track
Deliberately built to induce a bit of tension right from the moment we press play forward, the beat behind the verses in Darrell Kelley’s new single “Kamala” is the undisputed centerpiece of the track. While the words are definitely enrapturing and do a good job of spotlighting one of the more significant and positive events
“Steady Eyes” is the current release from Montreal based Singer-Songwriter, Ishana. It is off the second volume, of what is to be an album trilogy, Old Skin. As I write this, with the recent events in Washington D.C. only hours removed, “Steady Eyes” is something of a spiritual oxygen mask. The soothing and docile tones
Nashville local and continuing rising star Jeremy Parsons starts 2021 off with the reflective Things to Come. This is Parsons third album after releasing his debut Doggondest Feelin’ in 2010 and Things I Need to Say back in 2017. Things I Need to Say was a buoyant release filled with hope and optimism, and you
One of the first things you notice in the Andre Mayon “Love At First Sight” music video is striking beauty. Be it the stunning model to adore, or the crisp, clear natural beauty of the land, Mayon’s visual component to his stirring song is spot-on perfect. Seeing the song put to a glimpse of a
One of my favorite things to do after finishing an album for review is to isolate the albums opener and its closer and dissect the two as though they were the beginning and opening of a film. This is to say I like getting to the end of an album and asking, “how did we
If you’ve ever wondered how string-born harmonies could be both crushing and as fragile as thin glass, then there’s more than a couple of compelling listens in store for you when picking up a copy of Izzy Outerspace’s debut release, Amazon, this January. FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/izzyouterspace/ From the self-aware “Wildfires” to the subtle commentary of “Empty,” poetic
Atlanta based gospel and hip hop singer Darrell Kelley released his album The Audacity earlier this year in 2020, and it was stacked with wall to wall tracks about what was happening in the world this year. Ranging from the impending Us election, the death of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd and of course, most
Hi, 2 Four! Great to have you here! Thanks for having me! What is your favorite holiday film? Gotta go with Home Alone for sure. Such a classic and I like to watch it even when it isn’t the holidays. What is the best gift you have ever given? I actually don’t remember because I also
