Avatari has been establishing a reputation for robust harmonies for a little while now, but in his latest single, the taut “High Like This,” he utilizes them for the critical tool that they have to be in the big leagues of pop music. There’s nothing to come between his firm vocal and the audience he

Whether hesitantly indulging in the swagger of an eccentric melody here or flirting with highly experimental themes in “A Wonderful Kind of Strange” or “Free Floaters,” Thomas Truax puts on a masterclass in musicianship in his performance across his new album with Budgie and Mother Superior, titled simply Dream Catching Songs, and even though the record

A bold bouquet of melodies as sterling as they are enriched by the delicate acoustic arrangement of the instrumentation welcomes us into the new single “Love One Another” from Alias Wayne, but as we’re soon to learn in this song, which comes to us sans a lot of the frills I’m used to hearing in
Ajay Mathur isn’t hiding behind any bland poeticisms in his latest release, the supple “Common Mistake;” in fact, he’s doing pretty much the exact opposite. “Common Mistake” is a pop song structured around a rather simplistic hook n’ harmony scheme, but for what it lacks in elaborate adornments it more than compensates us for in

Fusing pop melodies with a laidback swing, Taylor Jules lights up the underground in her single “Helicopter,” and it’s getting a lot of attention this winter.

“I try catching his eye / But he doesn’t leer at me / Not the way that you do,” implore The High Plains Drifters in the fever pitch of their new single “He Reminds Me of You,” and while the beats that are backing up this verse do a lot to drive its underlying sentiments
Clandestinely inward-thinking and yet beholden to a swing as much as any melody ever could be, the hook in “Possessed,” just like it is in the other songs in Tommy Howell’s American Storyteller, essentially defines the track’s personality almost as much as Howell’s voice does. Always by his side, the instrumental construct in American Storyteller expounds upon everything
You don’t have to be fluent in the language of modern alternative rock to appreciate the depth of emotionality in Mark Winters’ surreal single “Heartbeat,” as its plethora of expressive melodies communicate everything that listeners need to know in this two-point-five-minute rock wonder.

“The Harlot and the Gambler” is a featured track on Pale Blue Dot’s recent Live Sampler release.

For an album to come out and immediately draw comparisons to one of the most iconic, yet underrated, rock albums of the ‘70s, you have your work cut out for you.

Artists in pop music use a lot of different weapons when chasing their audience’s affection, and for Taydem Shoesmith, vocal harmonies are the quintessential element of her professional war chest.

In her tempting new single “Hallway,” singer Drew Haley isn’t as focused on impressing the audience with poetic virtuosities as she is cutting into the silence with a deadly melodicism that has been anything but common in the last few years. The pop elements in this single become minuscule next to the potent tone of
There’s something so undeniably earnest and unforgettable about a great country track. With Ricky Forest’s new single “Honey Please Come Home,” it scratches every itch regarding the genre and then some. It’s a heartfelt love track with fantastic instrumentals and a gorgeous voice at its core, but there’s a tinge of comedy in the lyrics
