Album Reviews

Too many artists spend the first part of their careers living in the past, only to realize that the only way to break out of the underground is to embrace the here and now, but this definitely is not true of Kooly Bros. In their new single with Lil Scrappy, …

Joining an arrangement fit for a symphony, Andrea Plamondon’s vocal is perhaps the perfect accompaniment to the instrumental wonderment that comprises her new single and music video “Only Eden.” It’s both refined and brooding, comforting and yet searching, providing us with the essence of humanity beside pure sophistication without overstating …

Big melodies are what Sharon Hendrix is becoming known for at this stage of her long and storied career, and in the new single “Hold Me Tight,” she’s celebrating bold melodicism in her most extravagant piece yet. Although mostly structured around her singing, there’s a bittersweet instrumental harmony backing her …

Proving once again they have their pulse on something special, something beyond spectacular, the rock duo MAKAR unleash “I’m Alright”. To the masses, this song might sound like a frayed, frenzied and eccentric release, and it is. But it also possesses strangely comforting and melodic tones that give the listener …

When we’re left alone after a long period of being with someone, memories of the time we spent with this person often seem to flood back like scenes from a movie, on occasion at least, and it’s this concept that we find filling the screen in the new music video …

Road trip music is a subgenre all on its own, and in the realm of its contemporary releases, I think that we need to talk about the latest single from singer/songwriter Jim Waneka, “I’m Coming Home.” Equal parts country-rock ballad and homage to an easy-going brand of Americana, “I’m Coming …

What gives this seasonal pop anthem a little additional edge is its humble instrumental arrangement, which …

If a single is to be defined by its signature groove, the new track from Millionz of Bar$ and Kent Jones, “Her Favorite,” is definitely a song that was made with getting bodies closer together on the dancefloor in mind. There’s nothing separating the bass from the drums in this …

Reggaeton has become the hottest genre on the planet in the last few years, and listening to a single like Elion V’s new studio cut “Provide,” it’s easy to understand why. Though it sports a mad hip-hop beat that could be considered a crossover were it isolated from the rest …

“The Sky Is Falling.” The new hit banger from Sarah Sunday! Sarah Sunday has just come out with the well-awaited arrival of her 4th and most brilliant single, aptly titled: “TSIF  – THE SKY IS FALLING.”  This latest release is fun-filled alt-pop ,with a tune that will stick in your …

The first element of Star2’s “Real Life” to really grab us at the start of the track is the beat, but in the next few minutes that unfold, the acclaimed young rapper and his collaborator Lil Poppa will unleash a slew of verses that make the rhythm seem rather simple. …

Although it’s got a pretty sturdy buffer in the form of the verse, there’s no denying that the rhythm behind TheDropout Spectrum in his single “Take Off” is as pushy as it gets. The drums are nudging their way into the spotlight from the jump, but with as potent a …
