JD King’s “Midnight Rendezvous” is an effort that draws heavily from the 1950s pop crooner and 1960s pop scene. There is a bit of fuzz to the composition that provides an aura of authenticity. The track is surprisingly deep, with multiple vocals, a depth of instruments (guitars, drums, and bass) that both do their own thing while contributing to the overall sound of the cut. The last minute or so…
On Boi Genius, Pop Morrison is able to create a complex and fulfilling effort that takes up bits from rap, trip-hop, electronic, and 1990s/oughts hip hop. The instrumental side of things on this single provide the perfect backdrop from the deep flow of Pop Morrison. Together, the instrumental and vocal sides of things unite to make for a track that will resound loudly in listeners ears long after the song ceases…
Dying Fetus is one of those artists that are always on the list of bands I use to scare away my non-metalhead friends, especially those who subscribe to the “metal is noise” school of thought. Just to bristle their jimmies some more, the band name itself is like adding cayenne to their already bleeding ears. I cannot get enough!
The Iroar Go Weatherproof Bluetooth Speaker from Creative is a perfect purchase for the summer months. It will yield tremendous sound that is surprisingly loud for the a device size of the Iroar Go. The speakers provide great highs and lows, ensuring that one can bounce through rap, rock, and even podcasts without the sound seeming distorted or otherwise “off”. This is largely done through the “Roar” button which provides an…

Come Take Me Home immediately showcases the rich vocals and emotive guitars of Dave Vargo. The style of music that initially issues forth with Burning Through touches upon American rock from the 1970s all the way to the present. This means that fans can hear hints of The Eagles, Jackson Browne, and the Goo Goo Dolls in a polished way. Every piece during this first single works together to make…

Inma Mira’s Indecisión is a fun track that effortlessly move through pop, iindie-pop, and a timeless singer-songwriter style. Mira’s vocals soar over the track, taking up the standards of performers like Shakira and Bjork. The instrumentation on Indecisión – musically complex arrangements, spot-on drumming, and a whimsical sound – pushes Mira’s vocals to a higher plateau. The gradual increase in tempo portends a much more chaotic and musically intense sound; Mira’s…
