Album Reviews

Exceedingly minimalistic and rural in spirit – yet not quite devoid of the polished tonality commonly associated with mainstream pop – there is nothing but purity to behold in the performance Grey DeLisle gives in her new single “O Holy Night” and its companion video. Released just in time for …

Five minutes is a rather long running time in most of the contemporary hip-hop that I listen to, but in the case of Neff Nuffsed’s “Stranger Things,” this all-new single doesn’t feel like a bloated document at all. Joined by Mr L-BO and Mic B, Neff Nuffsed launches into an …

Newcomers Danny Artuso and Victor Nesrallah are already making waves. Their musical collaboration has a ring of something distinctively modern and progressive in an otherwise old-school, red state sort of medium. There’s a noteworthy exoticism that underscores each song on the album, be it certain lyrical, musical, or other creative …

Riddled with textured but far too streamlined to allow for us to get caught up in its many details, “Culture War” wasn’t designed for the wallflowers or music snobs – it was written for the people, and Paul Maged is giving it to us in all of its uncut, ferocious …

Drifting through the stratosphere and coming across shapes and symbolism of great but ultimately unknown origin is something I would expect in a journey through the deepest parts of outer space, and in the new music videos for Sonarpilot’s “The Last Machine” and “Cathedral,” we’re taken on this adventure both …

There’s a passion just waiting to come pouring from the speakers at the onset of Kamoken’s new single “Higher Love” with Malou Beauvoir, and while the song was recorded decades ago by Steve Winwood to enormous success, at no point does this performance sound unoriginal. We’re met with a haunting …

Crashing into existence and pummeling just about everything within reach with as furious a kick from the percussion as can be mustered from inside of a recording studio, Lost Romance’s “Heart on a Wire” isn’t the sort of single that leaves us wondering what its performers’ ultimate goal in life …

Sankarshan Das has a lot to say in his new single “The World Peace Formula,” and when it comes to getting it off of his chest, he’ll use whatever melodic weaponry is handy to make sure we get the point. Armed with a guitar and a voice that is both …

Kevin Phillips and Donnie Breeze aren’t interested in lamenting the year 2020 in their new single “Order My Steps,” nor in the music video made for the track and released just recently to a warm reception online. “Order My Steps” isn’t about getting absorbed by the strife of the nightly …

In this quintessentially country track, Richard Lynch pays homage to country music by singing an ode to the recently deceased, Doug Supernaw, a country star who rose to fame back in the day. A classic country slow jam, Lynch uses his rich, deep tones as he charmingly tells this story. …

Strikingly communal in feeling but streamlined in a familiarly pop fashion, the visual component of the music video for Kate Tucker’s “A Little Bit of Love” is definitely reason enough to check out the latest release to bear the artist’s name, but hardly the lone element of excitement you’re certain …

Get ready to rock, because Davy Williamson’s new single ‘Thin Disguise’ is about to send you into an all-out listening frenzy. Starting with unmistakably roaring guitars, Williamson’s vocal performance perfectly complements the song’s rebellious and emotional tone. With depth and a growl slightly resembling the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, and …
