While not every song is capable of capturing the identity of its composer in a singular melody, as much can be said of Hoffman’s “Reflection.” The newly solo indie rock phenom is sporting a new look in this song, but at the epic climax, he comes across as more genuine …

Verses and synthesizers dance in decadent synchronicity. They’ve got a swing in their step and a bounce in the beats that they’re forging out of thin air. The percussion kicks in, and Dude Reppin Knowhere’s hard delivery comes into focus next to a honey-sweet 80s-style melody that is surreal, airy, …

Angela Hench’s cover, with second vocalist Gregory Markel, of Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé’s 1987 rock/opera synthesis “Barcelona”, qualifies as one of 2022’s real stunners.

The King James Boys didn’t intend to ever be touring and making albums for the faithful or plain music fans. Their five-piece performances began as church-only affairs with zero intention of ever moving their talents beyond that sphere. The obvious chemistry they shared as musicians and fellow believers, however, led …

You cannot claim that Gary Sohmers is aiming low. The collaborative work on the new concept album Beasties: A Sci-Fi Rock Opera is a bit of delightful madness for the 2022 music world, a release flying in the face of fashion and following its own path. Sohmers recruited an eclectic cast …

While the summer might be over, the never-ending quest for the Song of The Summer rages on, undying. Every artist in the vicinity of being even remotely considered as a pop artist will throw in their hats year-round for the hopes of late bloomer anthems hitting the airwaves the following …

It’s hard breaking into the modern pop scene with the immense amount of talent there is in the genre at the moment, but with the voice she brings with her into “My First Love,” Waterofelegance shows that the challenge is anything but impossible to meet – if anything, it’s just …
