Jeremy Parsons is a singer/songwriter born in San Antonio, Texas. As a child he experienced the music in the dancehalls of Lone Star State and became a big fan. But it wasn’t till his later high school years that he taught himself guitar, then eventually began writing and performing music. …

Amidst a crushing vocal harmony that is evocative even without discerning its words from the fabric of its melody, we find a pair of verses – “And that peaceful, easy feeling has got a hold on me / It’s reminding me to breathe.” These words aren’t even the heaviest to …

Driven as much by its spunky rhythm as it is a happy-go-lucky melody, The Fortune tellerz don’t waste time with a lot of synthetic filler ahead of jumping into the guts of their new groove-centric single “Everybody’s Calling,” one of two songs they’ve dropped this fall (the other being “My …

When you’ve got a voice like the one that we find skulking about in the shadows of the new single and music video “Naked Love” by The Orange Apples., you don’t put anything in front of it – no synthetics, no guitar solos, and definitely no heavy trap beats – …

Set to a beat that rolls forth from the silence with an almost angry wallop of strings right behind it, Stacy Gabel’s “Stir Crazy” might not start off with a lot of fireworks, but it quickly finds a way to turn white-hot before hitting the sixty-second mark. Whether consumed in …

Sleek, stylish and riddled with a cosmopolitan edge that isn’t as common in pop as it should be in 2020, MaxKaella’s “Money Dance” has all the right ingredients to turn an underground sensation into a true superstar this fall. In the music video for her second official single, MaxKaella turns …

Drifting into focus with a staggering beat that at first struggles to find some synchronicity with the shards of string play in the backdrop, there’s an uneven groove that is absolutely spellbinding in Lauren Hulbert’s “Gone In One,” and whether you pay attention to its detailed strut or not, it …

Anyone who ever said you couldn’t be urgent and slow-rolling in your delivery of a sensuous groove clearly didn’t see Papi Shiitake or his new single “Enjoy the View” coming out of the woodwork this autumn, and if you ask me, a song like this couldn’t be arriving at a …

There’s a somewhat dry reverb that we find joined to the scattered melodies dotting the intro in Crast’s “Swimming” single and music video this October, but while this element influences the psychedelic vibe of the song’s first act, it won’t be the most surreal intricacy we hear in the next …

Lumbering out of the speakers with a heaviness that I wouldn’t normally anticipate out of a contemporary hip-hop release, there’s no telling just what Ray Lugar and The Collective Force are going to smash through in their new single and music video “Paper Cha$e;” if you’re wise, you’ll simply get …

John Vento has been hard at work on his new project, Brick by Brick. The album will be released as a collection of singles, one at a time, slowly building up to create an entire album. The lead single, “America (When The Saints Come Marching Home),” will be released November …
