Carolyn Marie’s “Wanna Be Cool” is a funky, soulful pop track that stands in bold opposition to much of the fare that is on the top of the charts. I think this is the reason why Wanna Be Cool is such a hit; it is a track that draws deeply on the 1990s while having enough in the way of hooks to keep current fans engrossed. The production during Wanna…
The dance remix of AV Super Sunshine’s “I Am Alien” is tremendously fun. The track is able to call back to the halcyon days of 1990s electronic, while the insistent beat of I Am Alien will keep listeners up and active. The narrative quality of this production means that fans will be as engrossed by the dynamic between instruments even before the vocals kick in 90 seconds or so in. SargeantJohn…
The traditional sound of Western Sky means that the song could easily be on a classic hits station and hang perfect with The Carpenters or Carole King. The instrumentation contributes greatly to this overall sound.

Slow Burn is the first effort on Inward of Eden’s latest album, Mind Control. The band is able to strike immediately with taut instrumentation in a similar vein of The White Stripes and Wolfmother, with a good hint of the sludgy heavy metal of Deliverance-era Corrosion of Conformity that shines through. The titular effort on Mind Control is a high-energy effort that inserts hints of punk (Ixnay on the Hombre-era The…
Jay Clark Band’s Cocked & Loaded begins with Get Wild,a powerful track that soars on the backs of intense drums, passionate vocals, and a hard rock sound that mixes and matches the strongest elements of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and more contemporary approaches. Hell or High Water takes up the standards of Every Mother’s Nightmare and Warrant, with taut instrumentation and a gritty, weathered set of vocals that fit right in…
It is time to bury the ‘Bad British Teeth’ myth and put on that wide smile on your face. Sweet, bitter, spicy, tangy; we bet you’ve tried all flavours and brands of toothpaste for that perfect set of white teeth. Some of them provide us a shiny look with a refreshing aroma, but the look and feel fades away within hours. No one denies that brushing your teeth every day…
Simona E Milano is one of those powerful tracks that will speak to listeners no matter which languages in which they are familiar. Corrao’s vocals during this single are powerful, touching,m and emotive. The guitar that is threaded through Simona E Milano are the backbone for the track, but the overarching sound of the track is created when the drums are added into the mix. The track does a tremendous job…
Jonathan Di Renzo’s Getting Nowhere begins with Desire, a high-energy track that blends together equal amounts of 1970s Detroit rock, mid-nineties alt rock, and a bit of grunge and punk. The supersonic vocals that are laid down during this introductory track are bolstered further by proficient drums and guitar, giving the track an epic sound that will resound loudly after the album ceases to play. SargeantJohn Sargeant, writing on NeuFutur…
Carl Borden’s Breathe begins I Lift My Hands. This track blends together bold synth line that set the stage for the approaches and environment to follow. The four and a half minutes of this introductory song will keep listeners on the edges of their seats; Borden’s ability to create such a coherent introductory statement is unparalleled.

Steve Loza’s All Is One begins with Takeoff to Tokyo, a jazz-infused track that blends together the jazz style of the 1930s with an on-point instrumentation and a narrative that is as rich and varied as any lengthy lyrical composition.

There are a number of gaming keyboards that are all vying for market space. The sheer range of quality means that one can purchase a keyboard from about $20 out to a price point exceeding $300 for some of the professional gaming models. We received the Sharkoon Skiller Pro Gaming Keyboard for review that is on the lower end of prices ($29.99 at online retailers) but at no point should individuals…
Quantum Split’s America is a track that refreshes the hair metal of the late 1980s and early 1990s with the post-grunge sound of a Seven Mary Three. The vocals are wholly unique; they stand out boldly from the jangly guitars and shuffling, on-point drums. The dynamic between the vocals and the drums is something to behold, as the track is pushed to an entirely higher plateau. SargeantJohn Sargeant, writing on…
David Haerle’s “Women Make The World Go ‘Round” (which features the vocal contributions of Bess Harrison) is a beautiful piece of alt-rock that ties together nu-wave with twee pop. The hint of lounge present in Haerle’s vocals imbue the track with a vintage sound, as does the Carly Simon-esque sound of Harrison’s vox. The taut instrumentation of “Women Make The World Go ‘Round” is beautiful, adding further depth to an already…
Authoritative heavy metal issues forth during The Dead Daisies’ latest track “Make Some Noise – Live & Louder”, with a polished sound that allows the guitars, drums, and vocals to shine alone or contribute to something greater than their constituent parts.

Nikki Shae’s latest single Favorite Hello (Hardest Goodbye) is a tremendously emotional effort that links together 1990s and 2000s pop, country, and alternative rock into a track that will keep fans listening in from the first note to the cut’s final gasp. It is not a surprise that Shae resides in Nashville; the instrumentation is something that listeners will immediately hear, with a backing instrumentation that is much more thoughtful and…
Hello, Razor. You have been creating music since 2001. How do you think your compositions have changed since your first release? Well, I started with Hip Hop and Rap music in 2001, and then switched approximately in 2008 to Electronic productions. Back in the day, I mainly wrote texts and I took care about the recording, but I have never been a great Hip Hop beat maker. Nevertheless, it was…
Tiara Nicole’s least single “Real Man” is a deep confessional about how she longs for a man that will treat her right. The beat is slow and sensual and the vocals are soft and sweet; they blend together to make a solid R&B release.
