Silhouette Rising’s “Technicolor” is a tender track that provides a bit of tender Americana/folk into a Goo Goo Dolls sound. The focal point held by the vocals distinguishes Technicolor from other rock / alt-rock efforts. The deliberate sound of the band ensures that fans will stick with the single until the song’s final notes. Won’t Be Young Forever is our favorite from Silhouette Rising. The track brings a bit of…
Matt LeGrand’s “All Good” a perfect example of a single that one can keep on repeat. The catchiness of the vocals, the multiple-layered instrumentation, and a perfect production makes All Good into one of those efforts that you’re only fortunate to find every few years. There are bits of 2016/2017-era Justin BIeber and Shawn Mendez here, but part of LeGrand’s allure is the unique take that he has when compared…
Ivy Layne’s “One You Love” is a bouncy, hopeful dance track that blends more tropical sounds with a unique set of vocals. Ivy Layne is able to slot her latest single in with EDM and pop radio artists, while having a bit more thought but into her composition. The dynamic that is presented between the vocals and backing instrumentation pushes each to an entirely higher plateau. Furthermore, the depth of…
Angelica Joni’s “Exhale” a fantastic effort that builds upon the dance style of the late 1990s and infuses it with current EDM sensibilities. The progressive house and trance that comprises the backing arrangements pushes Joni’s vocals to a whole new plateau. There is a good momentum that is propagated through the single which ensures that listeners will get out on the dance floor. Angelica Joni’s vocals on Exhale adopt hints…
DeCarlo’s “Lit Right Now” begins with a slow, sultry sound that is punctuated well with hints of a falsetto. The dynamic between the instrumentation and DeCarlo’s vocals makes for a track that will bury itself deep into the minds and hearts of fans. The sheer range that is achieved during Lit Right Now is no mean feat; this performer is able to make a unique sound that hits all of…
“Get It Together” is a track that ties together a hard-hitting rap flow with an erudite, smart R&B-inspired hook. A piano line inexorably entwines these two elements. With nods to performers like Outkast, Big K.R.I.T., and Kendrick Lamar, the intricate and thoughtful rap style that dominates Get It Together is of a class all its own. The harder/softer approach first came to prominence with Tupac’s “Dear Mama”, but I feel…
justdoitBRISK’s “Flashin’” is a rapid-fire rap track that will have listeners on the edges of their seats. The backing beat provides just enough in the way of flash to highlight justdoitBRISK’s vocals at all of the right points. Bits of Young Thug and Jaden Smith can be picked up here, but Flashin is a track that is uniquely justdoitBRISK’s own. The production of the single is on point, with every drum beat…
Kemmyé’s “Forever” is a slower, more introspective R&B track that succeeds because of top-class vocals that do more than tell a story – they provide further depth to the instrumental side of things. There are a number of inclusions to Forever that push this track to a higher plateau; a clap-track here, a bit of backwards masking there, to make for a fully-formed effort. Kemmyé is able to shatter any conception…
On Dimes On, the latest DJ Polique single, a sunny summer sound is bolstered through the inclusion of Snoop Dogg, Jacob Luttrell, and Follow Your Instinct. The track’s sweeping synths and reggae influence will tattoo the vocal hook deep into the minds of listeners.
How should you start packing for your hike? Is it your first time? Then it can be a doozy. First, deciding what’s necessary and what’s surplus is going to be harder than picking your poison at Starbucks. We often suffer from the dilemma of what’s too less and what’s a lot! If everything is necessary, how do finally plan on carrying it all?
Justina Valentine’s “Sunlight” is a refreshing pop/rap track that brings back the synth-pop of the 1980s. Good wordplay keeps the momentum high before Justina tattoos her unique melodies deep into the hearts and minds of fans. The rising and falling action of Sunlight keeps listeners on the edges of their seats. The sparkling sound of the synths on Sunlight distinguish this effort from other songs on the radio. There is…
White Reaper’s Judy French is one of the best songs we’ve heard this August. The track looks back to the power pop and indie rock of the late 1990s and early 2000s. A robust bass line, emotive guitars, and slightly-nasal vocals make for a tremendously taut cut. Particular kudos has to go to the fuzzy guitar solo that starts off the two-minute mark. Splashy drums build up the tempo after…
Tru Tipton’s Type of Girl is a tremendously emotional track. The slow, intimate sound of Type of Girl brings a considerable gravity to R&B. The production of this single is immaculate, allowing both Tipton’s voice and the instrumentation ample to shine alone or when combined into a comprehensive sound. Tipton’s vocals are distinct while working perfectly alongside a piano and sweeping synthesizer. For fans of Ne-yo, Jason Derulo, and Trey…
The ORG begins their single Assemble with a flow that draws heavily on the 1990s NYC rap scene. The backing flow pulls deeply from soul and funk sounds to imbue Assemble with a timeless sound. The variation presented in the flows of each member of The ORG further increase the replay value of the track.

So, anyone having to follow that track record was bound…

Nicotine is a very addictive substance, which is why no matter how hard they try, some smokers find it incredibly difficult to finally quit the habit for good.

Today, we are speaking with UniversalDice. Can you give us a little background information about yourself? How did you get into music? I’ve played music since I was 5 years old; in elementary school, my family was offered a choice of instruments for my musical education – accordion or guitar. Of course, they chose that I learn the accordion. I always joke to myself that if they had chosen guitar…
An uncontested divorce is one where all parties have agreed to the terms and issues of the divorce, including property division, visitation, custody, alimony and child support. As such, there isn’t anything for the court to intervene upon, except if the children’s best interests are at stake. Basically, having resolved all issues, the couple is just requesting the court to review and approve the agreement and then end the marriage…
