Stomping out of the dark on the back of a fury-born guitar lick, Tom Keifer’s “All Amped Up” kicks into gear ready to rip just about anything that gets in its path to ribbons, and if you’ve got it turned up loud enough, it just might start with your speakers. …

Read More »Single Review: Tisha Hunter “Right Now”
The jazzy strut of the opening bars in the new single and music video from Tisha Hunter, titled “Right Now,” is more than enough to grab our attention and get us interested in the ensuing groove the song has to share, but roughly fifteen seconds into the track, we find …

Hollis Jordan teams up with Zaire Danae on this dreamy, party-ready dance track. From the outset, it’s clear that ‘Runaway’ is going to be a song about escapism in more ways than one. “Let’s run away while listening to Marvin Gaye”, Jordan delivers, with his sultry, yet strong tone that …
