Born Soul is an artist we are quite familiar with as the artist has been dropping refreshing releases from a long time. His most recent, the TUT E.P. really let him break free and dig deep with his lyrics and production approaches. The record branches out and blends vintage soul and jazz in with the hip-hop, letting the record come through with a lively and alluring soundscape. During our video interview with the artist, we dig into his process, what the recode is really abou

A beautiful new single from Jay Putty delivers such a warm and incredibly inviting atmosphere that drifts and dreams, as it portrays things that the heart desires and does all of this with a sort of spacious and almost cinematically thriving tonality. "Lost In You" is pretty straightforward lyrically. It's about love. As the title suggests, it's about getting lost in someone. Getting lost in everything about them. It's a sentiment that a lot of us can relate to because a lot

“Sebastopol,” the new single by Lost On The Metro, arrives with a warm, Southern folk-rock charm that immediately draws us in. Built around an inviting guitar tone and easygoing rhythm, the track creates a sense of familiarity that feels both nostalgic and fresh. As we listen, we’re carried along by melodic vocals that glide effortlessly over the instrumentation, giving us a song that feels as comforting as it is memorable. The band leans into a subtle blend of indie-rock ele

A new release from Inimata recently dropped, and this record encapsulates a rambunctious attitude, a set of performances, and a blend of genres that's almost difficult to put into words. However, that's part of the fun. When you come across a record this wild and sort of boundless, especially in the way of sticking to a genre, my job is suddenly one of the most fun things to do. I love music like this because it gives you the unexpected. There are more than a few surprises ar

A fresh release from Floorplan delivers an edgy but super colorful pop single that breeds a lot of honesty, simply because of where he's coming from with everything and how open he is about letting all of that out. Before we get into the lyrics, the music of this track is outstanding. The whole thing has a heavy-handed groove; you end up just bopping along with it automatically, and the vocals come through with hook after hook. Even the verses have hook melodies in them and e

Every once in a while, after decades of covering rock bands, a track lands in your inbox that stops you mid-snooze. For me this week, that track was Devil’s Dance from ALBORN. I’ll admit it, I clicked play expecting another competent modern rock single and instead got something that flat-out slams. The energy hits immediately, the groove pulls you in, and by the time the track opens up into its unexpected textures, you realize this isn’t just another loud rock release. That k

The latest release from Parkwalker dives deep into storytelling with some amazingly detailed lyrics that really help you paint pictures in your head as songs unfold, along with unique and intricate guitar work that has natural flows to them and amazing progressions, but also gives some technical insight so that you have elements of a sort of post-rock and emo undertone that shines through. This is a really cool record. There's no point at which it really becomes overwhelming

A new album release from One Son, Iddi Singer, and Big Fella, brings out such an incredibly lush soundscape that breeds a heavy-handed afrobeat approach combined with world, soul, and more, along with beautiful cultural flares, a thriving energy, and an insanely flavorful soundscape that you can't really get away from. One of the things that I like most about the  Afro Heartbeat  album is its diversity and instrumentation. There are no two songs that are exactly alike, althou

Sun Raven returns with a new record that blends both of his most pertinent styles, bringing together elements of alternative and progressive rock, with hints of edgy overtone, gritty guitar work, and that heavy rock backbone, along with the smooth, cinematic, and vast tonalities that he brings to the table as well. As a fan of the artist, this is one of my favorite pieces he's released to date. This is because of that blend of the two big Styles he tends to a lot of the time.

A new album release from One Son comes through with a brilliantly smooth and flowing R&B and soul crossover that hits everything from vintage tonality to fresh and current ones, all while delivering layers of gorgeous textures in color, flavorful melodies, and vocals that are strewn across the record, performed with warm and welcoming tones. I See You is an album that creates an atmosphere. This is a record that most certainly breeds crossover sounds and tones but still keeps

New single from The Scarlet Goodbye encapsulates this incredibly classic rock approach from instrumentation, performance, and overtone, all the way down to the lyrics, being about a woman you kind of can't resist, even though you know you should. This is a very classic single. The way it's performed is kind of vintage, the songwriting feels like it's from the late '60s to early '70s, and they can really nail the aesthetic perfectly. The guitars are really well-toned. They hav

Glimtvis is back with a new release that definitely gives off a bit of a cinematic undertone with this sort of natural flow beneath the surface and a bit of a drive as well, mostly coming from the percussion, but it also has an overlaying edginess that's really a little different from their usual stuff. This single is something that expresses a lot of sentiment that people can really relate to, depending on their situation. One of the things I love about it is how descriptive

A breathtaking new single from Alto Aria delivers a vast undertone with a lush overtone that comes together to create this beautiful atmosphere that you get swallowed up by, and I mean that in the best way possible. The new single is called "Stars Align", and although it has an electronic backbone due to digital instruments, it does also have a natural feel to it. The tones are still very warm, with a flow that drifts through the air around you, inviting you to drift alongsid

The latest from Coldwards comes forth with a pretty heavy-handed approach, but as always, heavily melodic as well. The record showcases the band's different sides to how they write their songs and how they're able to read this edgy tonality, while still being true to the storytelling aspect lyrically, and branching out in different directions musically. "Last of Me" is the first track on the record, and it does a great job of reducing and opening the door to the rest of it. I

If ever there was a song that warms the soul, it's the new single from YASSiN & Sean Terrio featuring Charissa called "Right Here Right Now", simply because it is oozing with this amazingly warm tonality that is incredibly inviting, along with the sentiment that I feel like we can all relate to, delivered with heart and such intense levels of soul that it just wraps itself around you. One of the most beautiful aspects about this track, aside from the sentiment of it, is the f

The new album from The Victim has arrived, and the record really boasts a lot of honesty in the form of songs that blend everything from folk to Americana, indie rock, and this beautiful and boisterous cinematic backbone that just lets the record flow naturally. This is an album with a lot to say, and you can tell that the artist put his all into it. He doesn't really hold back in terms of lyrics and definitely gets pretty personal. Songs like 'Still Raising Shadows" dig pret

The latest album release from Elyse Aeryn delivers a whole lot of personality across the span of 10 impressive songs that showcase a little bit of a different side to that personality, along with her artistry. The album showcases a lot of depth in terms of having plenty to say, giving the listener a lot to chew on. This is an artist who is not afraid to give pieces of herself in her music, and I found that quite refreshing. The songs all have a pretty great rock backbone. The

A new single release from Amores Vigilantes delivers a thriving classic rock soundscape, complete with really vintage feeling tonality on the instrumentation giving it this total authentic aesthetic, and this is one of the most addicting aspects about it. Not only does this track blend that vintage rock feel, but it brings it into an indie rock state of mind. You have these guitars that sound like they were recorded in the 70s, with riffs that flow and have this Soulful juice

A beautiful and touching new single from Creative Vibrations comes through as a very sentimental one and is quite unafraid to show some vulnerability along with elements of spirit, as the song goes through a certain range of emotions when it comes to losing someone. This is a song that doesn't hold a lot back but still has this beautiful warmth, and it's underbelly. It's not the saddest perspective, but it sheds light on how the memory of someone can still make you smile. Tha

A new album release from Vinyl Floor just dropped, and this record showcases such a wide and in-depth array of rock approaches from indie-rock to folk-rock, and even this sort of theatrical undertone that shows face a lot through the record. Now, don't get me wrong, the record does get a little heavy at times and certainly has its anthemic moments, but it also has a lot of warmth in its tonality. A lot of the record combines different guitar tones to create something that jus
