For a debut, the self-titled Split Persona EP shows remarkable growth and variety. Split Persona rattles together a solid backbeat with contemplative lyrics and a rapturing rock sound. With curdling roars and even some youthful vocals, the five tracks on Split Persona offer indie rock fans a new reason to raise their …

Sometimes rigidity can have an important part to play in a single, and this is definitely true when it comes to breaking down the rhythm in the hot new single “Wave” from Stizee. While a lot of rappers have been cozying up to the shapeless grooves of a psychedelic/ambient hybrid …

Keelie Walker can’t wait another three months for the summer season to start, and in her new music video for the song “Girls Night,” she’s rounding up her friends for a throwback to the lively July parties we haven’t been able to really appreciate since the conclusion of the 2010s. …

For his newest single, “Hold On Me,” Nathan Harrington has gone the sentimental route. Hailed as “Reggae’s New Leading Voice,” Nathan Harrington is unquestionably in the twilight of his career. Possessing all of the tangible qualities to be a Pop Star/heartthrob, the young Singer/Songwriter, is poised to bring his own …

Psychedelic-tinged and bursting at the seams with more distortion than some unfamiliar listeners might be able to handle, there’s no other way to put it – Project213’s new single and music video “Bleed With Who?” is an absolute crusher of the grandest variety. Smothering us with a suffocating brand of …

Black and white beats, a clandestine melody, progressive rapping that grinds into the groove as opposed to setting the pace on its own. What more does one really need for pure hip-hop magic? If you’re The Org, nothing else, and they make that perfectly clear to the world in their …

The music video for Nick Hawk’s new single “You Can’t Talk As Much Shit As Me” doesn’t take us to the normal venues one would typically find in a modern hip-hop video. We’re not overwhelmed by the luxury of the imagery nor the implication of menacing attitude skulking about in …

The new single “Free-Quincy” from rapper and producer Terry Milla might not abuse auto-tune harmonies and oversized bass-driven beats as much as some of the bigger-name releases out this spring do, but if you’re in the mood for to-the-point hip-hop that isn’t candied with pop features outside the puritan old …

Out in the sun and ready to face whatever the day has in store for her, there’s nothing but swagger in C.K. Marion’s sunglasses-adorned eyes in the new music video for her song “Get Up” with Saint Mercury, and from her verse to the vibrancy of her swing, her attitude …

Working up stream with a beat and harmony both sourced from the psychedelic 60s – yet sounding more contemporary than a lot of the other stuff I’ve heard so far in 2021 – Elijah Wolf’s new single doesn’t give us any choice but to get swept away in its retro …

Alternative rock is getting a renewed place of importance in the pop music lexicon right now, and the biggest reason why can be traced to the work of independent players like AV Super Sunshine, whose new single and music video “Super Cool” are stirring up a lot of buzz this …

Comprised of a slow, jazzy beat and vocal harmonies that seem to reach into eternity only to look back and see if we’re following along, to say that Estani’s new single and music video “Droughts in the Ocean” is an ethereal R&B number would definitely be fair. Not only is …
