Frivolity and hilarity are the sources of motivation for Rebecca DGD’s audacious new single, “Love’s Boss.” Rebecca asks the question that no one knew they needed to answer, when she presses us with, “who made you Love’s Boss?” Until recently, Rebecca DGD had gone by DawgGoneDavis. She’s no rookie when it comes to her recording

We’re looking for singers, musicians, producers, and re-mixers who are game to makeover a classic Motown Hit! Legendary Motown songwriter and record
We’re going to look back on Sidney Breedlove’s “Take It Low” in the coming years and say, yes, right there it is. The moment. It is the moment when an already meteoric rise went full-on nuclear and opened the door for everything that followed. This is a single with a spectacular chorus that will be
If you want to make a song that appeals to the most foundational sounds in the American musical lexicon, you’ve got to start with the basics – and not experimentation – when it comes to the composing process. Rather than following an increasingly disturbing trend within country music of writing a track from the surface
With a bit of angst sewn into the vibrant strut of its rhythm, the string play in “No Matter What They Say” mimics much of the same intense vibrancy you’re going to hear across the whole of the new album Outside Spectrum from The Empty Pockets this August. Whether acoustic or electric in nature, the
Industrial tonality is everywhere we look and listen in the single and music video for “Robot M 2052,” but as much as I think this narrative of this track can be centered on the inhuman, there’s something very natural about some of its best moments – melodies included. When Bobby and the Crew got together
Nick Phoenix has released a cinematic video for the song ‘Andromeda’ from his ‘Wide World’ album. The video was shot in Pasadena, CA on the historic campus of the California Institute of Technology and various locations in the Mohave Desert. Explaining about ‘Andromeda’, Phoenix says “The song is about an astronomer who dreams of visiting the Andromeda Galaxy and he designs
Austin, TX based Cody Jasper is a chameleon of Rock N’ Roll – releasing music that is themed around the way he lives and shared life experiences with his fans. His bold choices show a daring to mix in different genres along with straight ahead Rock N’ Roll, including Blues and Outlaw Country. With the release of new
While it’s easy to frame the new single “Funk Show” from NEKKED BONZ DANCE KLUB as one a track that was created out of an appreciation for the old school in hip-hop and R&B, there’s a lot more to this release than its familiar cosmetic scheme – starting with the vibrant delivery of its signature
Redray Frazier has a winner on his hands with the Portland, Oregon based performer’s second single “The Real Thing”. Longtime fans of soul and funk will hear a lot of echoes in this song from iconic greats of the genre, never too much in any one direction, but there’s no question that it works. Despite
Good luck trying to convince longtime music fans this is B.B. Cole’s first album and steel yourself for their slack-jawed astonishment when they find out that, yes, it’s true. Austrian B.B. Cole’s debut album Outgrowing Ourselves features nine tracks that never betray a single hint of the singer’s European origins. It’s a thoroughly “American” album in
Dizzying in a way that moves the listener to another time, another space – the new track “Nights In White Satin” by flutists Steve Markoff and Patricia Lazzara, along with pianist Allison Brewster Franzetti, flutters about like a dancing butterfly. On the wings of these instruments are delicate sonic blends that erupt into an emotional
Big drums, bigger guitars, and an anthemic lead singer; they’re all the essential parts of almost every rock song, but what makes them different in the single “O’Dream” from singer/songwriter Clay Joule is the passion with which they’re being presented and, more specifically, the cause they’re united behind. When a track is composed from the
I can almost promise that you haven’t heard anything in 2022 that sounds like this. ViennaCC’s “Cook For Me” is sort of mad scientist electro pop with a dollop of rock dynamics driving the train. The Austrian born and based songwriter, musician, and performer behind this new single has, at least, an effective idea of
“Snakebite” is the latest single by NorCal rockers, Julian Brooks and Paris King. Not exactly Simon and Garfunkel or Belle and Sebastian, Brooks and King are forging their own path, and reimagining the notion of a musical duo. It’s not entirely clear who contributes what from a compositional standpoint, but both are defining figures in
AV Super Sunshine is not an artist who limits his creative output to one channel in music; he’s always experimenting with the depth of his sound and what he’s able to do with it. Rock, acoustic, club, and avant-garde music have made their way into his tree of influences before, and with the arrival of
I consider artists like Linda Collins to be one of the many bedrocks of Americana art. We can browse the Internet, watch television, pick up a magazine and see any number of modern icons at some stage in their life and/or career, winning an award, attending a premiere, and see them ballyhooed as among the
Throwbacks don’t always have to dwell in the cultural elements of the era they’re embodying; sometimes they can take classic structure, put a little polish on the hook, and inevitably give us something that is as relatable as it is familiar and fierce. To me, this is more or less what an artist like Lisa
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard a live album, much less reviewed one. The mainstay of 1970s rock hasn’t enjoyed the same commercial and artistic cachet for well over three decades but, in its finest form, you can hear the reasoning that drives such releases. It captures a moment in time, a live
I’ve become acquainted with the work of flutists Patricia Lazzara and Steve Markoff over the last year. Having heard their two previous albums as well as the first single from their pending third album, I can say they are one of the finest instrumental projects working today. Concert flutist Patricia Lazzara has received a handful
The first element that strikes out at me when I listen to “Paradise” from Damu Up is the layered mix, as it postures its lead vocal at a point of command from the jump. Even before Obasi Jackson steps up to the microphone for a really memorable feature, it’s clear that we’re in for verse-driven
The Brian Shapiro Band’s second full-length collection It’s Amazing consolidates and builds off the success of the outfit’s debut All That We See. To some listeners familiar with the first effort, it may even seem as if Shapiro’s songwriting doubles down on the first album’s iconoclastic self-expression. Despite coming together during the pandemic, the Shapiro Band’s songwriting landscape
We are happy to spend some time today with the talented artist Michael B. Whit. Thank you for taking time to talk with us. We have listened to “40 Acres” and love what you are doing and bringing to country music. How did you decide this as your next release? Y’all are very welcome, anytime. Honored

It’s important to remember that Arun O’Connor spent a decade and change fronting a popular cover band. Small Feet did not limit themselves to playing one kind of music and his originals are the same as he spreads his stylistic wings on Songs from the Reading Room. The dozen songs on his debut album certainly favor
Film & TV Sync Superstar Nick Phoenix work on movie trailers has soundtracked the worlds of ‘Star Trek’, ‘The Avengers,’ ‘Batman’, ‘Harry Potter,’ and more. Now, he’s returning to his first love – Rock ’N’ Roll – with the release of new album ‘Wide World’, which features members of Death Cab For Cutie and John Mayer’s band.
