The new single “Amy’s Gone” from country band The Tennessee Werewolves gives us melodic fireworks on every front, starting of course with the fiery output that its players pump into the music seconds after we press the play button. The instrumentation is incendiary enough to set your speakers ablaze, but it isn’t …

Soul is so much more than an aesthetic within the R&B lexicon; it’s an identity, an entire culture, and a spirit that individual artists can carry forth in any given performance. There’s a lot of soul in the new single “Lights On” from Stringz EMB featuring Will Buchanan and Katarra …

Life, and all the energy that drives it out of the silence and into existence every day the earth continues to spin around, is unpredictable and littered with fools who would seek to throw everything into chaos just for the sake of creating order for themselves exclusively. These living barriers …

As muscular as a club track but far too muted in delivery to be anything bigger than a powerful R&B ballad on steroids, Rob Murat’s “Love Me Love” is a difficult song for me to instantly categorize with the typical genre terminology critics and labels use to address and market …
