Too Far to Let Go is a hopeful pop song that is infused with a healthy dollop of EDM. Jackson and Brandon Michael make a retro-sounding (e.g. Pet Shop Boys, Soul Asylum) track with current sensibilities. There is tremendous care taken to have the vocals contribute to the overall harmony of Too Far To Let Go, imbuing the song with an honest and approachable sound. With a number of tempo shifts,…
Dos Floris’ “Water” is a track that skillfully ties together new age and indie-rock styles into an interesting track. The vocals are used to great effect here, telling a story as well as adding considerably to the overall arrangements of the single. The piano and vocals work off one another, giving and taking as they permanently imprint themselves upon listeners.
April Martin begins her latest album In the Blink of a Life with One Breath, a song which builds off of the rich musical tradition of the 1960s and 1970s. Martin’s vocals are influenced by Joni Mitchell and Karen Carpenter during this first track, while the instrumentation is low-key enough to allow Martin to shine.
Little Shove is the introductory effort on Steve Hussey and Jake Eddy’s The Miller Girl. The folksy, singer-songwriter style of the track is tremendously inviting. There is a narrative weaved through this introductory track that will have fans firmly planted on the edges of their seats. A smart instrumentation is on-point to both bolster the vocals while crafting its own story. A style built off of bluegrass dominates in the latter…
Building upon the framework of artists like Jeremih and The Weeknd, Jesse Eplan is able to create a catchy single in Dreams. The dual duty of the vocals (creating a narrative, adding to the overall harmony of the single) indicates that Eplan can hang with R&B and pop royalty. A twinkling instrumentation that plays at the periphery of Dreams keeps things interesting from the opening note to the final lyric. The…
Voices of Extreme create a powerful, orchestral sort of metal that is tremendously reverent to the heavy metal of the eighties and nineties while coming forth with a clarity and focused sound that works well in current circles.
Arranging corporate events or educational presentations can be quite tedious. It is not only budgeting that you have to be concerned about. Execution of such an event is a key aspect as well. For every organization or company, it may not be possible to keep or afford high-end gadgets and audio video equipments required to hold such important events in a proper way. This is the reason professional audio video…
Shadow Pearson & The City Song Players have released a new single, Finger On The Pulse, to commemorate those that lost their live in the Pulse Nightclub shooting. The two-part vocals work well in tandem or as counters for one-another.
The acoustic version of K-Syran’s Hello is richly emotive and draws on a rich rock traditional to cross genre boundaries. The dual duty of the vocals – telling a story and adding further depth to the instrumentation – tie together this effort like no other.
![Cowtown – Paranormal Romance [12”] (Vinyl LP)](https://neufutur.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/a4044538759_10.jpg)
UK-based group Cowtown, along with having a truly great band name, have a jerky, frenetic sound that is equal parts Talking Heads and Oingo Boingo with just enough pop hooks to recall a band like the Knack. Their latest, “Paranormal Romance,” takes the sound that’s been hinted at in earlier records to chaotically perfect new heights.
The sound created by Mayve during the opening strains of their new EP, Motion, is influenced by the new wave of the 1980s. Hints of Tears For Fears and The Psychedelic Furs are weaved through You. You is an airy and dreamy sort of alterna-pop; sequenced drums, richly emotive guitars, and a wispy set of vocals make this introductory effort tremendously compelling, a reason why fans should continue to focus…
Rush has always been a polarizing band: you either hate ‘em or you love ‘em (and I’m talking fanatical love here). Nowhere is that more apparent than on this documentary about the legendary Canadian band and their fans. Filmed in 2015 when the band was in the middle of their 40th anniversary tour, one many assumed would be the band’s last.
Long before shows like Black Mirror, there was The Twilight Zone. Arguably the greatest intellectual Sci-Fi series ever created for TV. CBS/DVD has finally put out all 156 episodes of this groundbreaking show, across 24 discs.
Picture is a crossover track that deftly ties together country and pop styles into something that fans of Jimmy Buffett and Travis Tritt will be able to appreciate.
The Exodus EP is the new release from K.P. Wolfe; the titular single is a confident pop song that showcases Wolfe’s vocals. The production of this first track will immediately draw listeners in; the range that Wolfe reaches here will ensure that fans are focused in until the end of this extended play. Icarus is another hit as K.P. Wolfe continues the rich musical tradition of performers like Ingrid Michaelson…
Coral Creek released their self-titled album, which begins with Way Back. Way Back is a folk-styled piece of rock that brings hints of blues, Neil Young, and country to make something wholly unique. Coral Creek is a tremendous band; the dynamic crafted here by the band nearly overwhelms the two vocals; Way Back is a track that could easily garner radio rotation.
Down to Memphis is the titular (and opening) song from Scott Smith’s latest release. The track has a luscious production that allows Smith’s vocals to reside front and center. The narrative content of this introductory effort immediately catches fans (both old and new) up on Scott’s back story and intent for this release.
Blind Man Drivin’ starts off Six String Soldier, an intense track that brings equal amount Santana-esque guitars, blues, and lounge music together with flair and raw skill. The amount of narrative that Stuckey’s guitar brings to the mix cannot be ignored; the different nods to The Dools and Jimi Hendrix make this opening one of the more memorable we’ve experienced.
When The Earth Was Still Flat by Brother Spellbinder begins with Speed of Sound, a deliberate track that builds upon the folk and sixties/seventies pop-country of Nancy Sinatra and Patsy Cline. A very honest and timeless sound acts as the backdrop for these vocals to rest upon.
Grinder was proof that network television channels are capable of creating original, smart comedies; That witty sitcoms were no longer just meant for cable stations. Then again, Grinder was also proof that network channels are also clueless enough to kill a great thing after just one season.
