Though it’s powerful, to say the least, even the passion espoused in the vibrantly exotic introduction that greets us at the onset of “Fruit Basket” can’t match the emotion in Kelsie Kimberlin’s voice as she begins to serenade us in these opening bars that open her new colorful music video …

In the last few years, Betty Beata’s contemporary pop scene – and the generation that has been taking it over one track at a time – has turned out some soul-stirring material ranging from the simple to the complex and surreal, but with her lovely slice of holiday-style R&B in …

Holding the torch and carrying on into the modern music landscape with a focus on maintaining the legacy of rock music can be extremely tough, especially in 2023 when rock music has long since gone the way of the dinosaur — modern rock acts in the mainstream don’t really exist …

DJ/Producer Nicky Roland has released new banging hits. Tokyo 3000: inspired by the Coalesce Sound and Vision parties, aiming to capture some of the energy and quirkiness of said parties, smashed together with a futurist twist.
