Rolling into focus with a ripping instrumental harmony, Kailey Nicole gets us started with all the country chills n’ thrills we crave in her new single/video combo “Change My Ways.” Released this past April, “Change My Ways” is a vocal-driven singer/songwriter tune helmed by a country crooner in Kailey Nicole …

On the back of a piano-born harmony as swift in pace as it is smooth in stylization, John Paciga’s “Big Hit Song” hits the ground running with a provocatively addictive rhythm. Coupled with the gentle vocals from Paciga himself, the keys are immediately the most evocative component in the instrumentation …

Alongside a brooding beat and a colorful harmony between keys and strings, a velvety voice welcomes us into the melodies of “Tessa” with open arms.

“Just a lullaby for humanity / Please forgive us all, we were too blind to see” sings a heartfelt Beatrice Betley in the first couple of verses we hear in her new song, “Lullaby,” out everywhere this coming Earth Day (the 50th since the holiday’s creation). Boldly melodic and as colorful …

Littered with the glowing notes of an electric piano, the buzz of a lightly distorted guitar and synthetic harmonies strung together against the backdrop of a gorgeously toned drumbeat, Head Fake’s new single/video combo “I’m Found” is definitely on the elaborate side of the pop spectrum, but it’s anything but …
