Grooves rarely eclipse the tones we’re greeted by in the best electronica records, but this just isn’t true of Elektragaaz’s new EP The Synaesthetic Picture Show – Now Playing, Pt. 2. Here, rhythm is as important a role player in the arrangement of instrumental brawn as the actual substance of the robotic melodicism is, if not

Melanie Rogers’ new single “r.u.o.k.” is a steep improvement over the already exceptional qualities distinguishing her preceding release “Fever”. We’ve witnessed this sort of trajectory before with other shooting star songwriters/performers, but the Santa Barbara, California native has all the characteristics of someone talented enough to endure for decades to come. She’s coming from a
R&B Singer/Songwriter, Darrell Kelley has shifted his focus to Ronald Greene, on his new single, aptly titled, “Ronald Greene.” Darrell Kelley has based his music around cases of African Americans, being a target and subsequent casualties of police in various instances. Darrell Kelley is highly consumed by these cases, and has seemingly now devoted his
What was it like the first time you realized music is what you wanted to do as your life’s work? It was trippy. I was hallucinating while a friend played blues guitar in the early morning after a party in suburbia. The guitar filled up with golden rays and shone out into the room. I
Connecting musicians with individuals capable of bringing their music to a wider audience has always been a haphazard affair. Chance, hard work, fate, all sorts of random turns of fortune often dictate who finds favor and who does not. Talent plays an important role in making or breaking a musical career, without question, but the
What was it like the first time you realized music is what you wanted to do as your life’s work? When I was little I was able to see the power of music at my church where my grandmother was the choir director. She is a self taught musician where she learned how to play
Strutting around like a Gun Club cover that has been reimagined with the moxie of a post-alternative rock generation of songwriting, we discover the opening bars of Trevor Drury’s “Alice” sounding and feeling like a throwback to ‘80s college rock – with an added dash of pomp, that is. There’s a flamboyancy to the groove in this
If you had told me that the song I couldn’t stop humming as I encountered my daily routine was a piece penned by an on-the-rise TikTok musician, I would have stopped you at “on-the-rise” and said, “Yeah, probably.” There’s nothing that the up-and-coming musical forces seem swayed from trying and the future of music feels
With one foot in the past and another in the present, Calvyn Cass continues to reinvent himself with his single “You Always”. The Pop/EDM artist has always had a passion for remixing attributes we’re all fairly familiar with. Much of their influence comes from the 90s and early 00’s power acts but combines it with
Who is Intelligent Diva? Is she a Singer? Is She A Rapper? How about an Actress? Or how about a software tester for a data based company? Well, she is all of these things, and perhaps a bit more. Intelligent Diva found music through religion, as her first exposure to singing, came while attending church
With “I Know”, Jason Shand has crafted a letter of forgiveness to himself. One of the beautiful things about music is its ability to communicate emotions, but to also put us in the headspace of the performer. Jason Shand is a truly stirring soul, whose love of classic, inoffensive rock like Seal, Fiona Apple, but
The concept of succeeding in the face of nobody else believing in you is a hard pill to swallow, but it unlocks something within your subconscious: the ability to be your own biggest fan and supporter. Without self-belief and self-approval, greater success may as well feel like a total impossibility because that’s the way the
It’s quite the task to write a song that is both happy and heartfelt. That’s why it’s no surprise that singer/songwriter Candace Asher collaborated with multi-Dove Award winning songwriter Dwight Liles to muster the uplifting country/pop/Christian hit “Don’t Lose Heart”. The synergy between these two talented artists resonates for hours. Asher, a vocalist on a
We are obsessed with narratives as a culture. We are not only fascinated with the stories that others tell, but the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves. It’s tricky business and it’s always easier said than done to be forthcoming about who we are. URL: https://cecebullardmusic.com/# That’s why Cece Bullard’s single “You’re Looking at Me”

Thunderously groove-laden in one track and carefully layered as to channel the heavy metal gods in another, it’s obvious when listening to the new album So Far So Good from Greye that the noted Daytona Beach rock outfit has a lot of energy they’re looking to burn off this summer. Comprised of hard-hitting songs like “Lucky,” “Come
It’s no secret that we live in wildly divisive times. With a nation and in a way a world feeling more at odds with one another than ever before (thanks internet), it can be hard to find a unifying feeling on many things these days. It doesn’t help that within a year that we’ve been
