Frog Eyes Release New Album The Bees Today

Today’s album release follows the premiere of The Bees‘ title track yesterday via Under The Radar, who described it as “a true highlight from the record, characterized by Mercer’s distinctive vocal performance, rippling indie rock soundscapes, cryptic poeticism, and sprawling songwriting.” Carey Mercer offers some context for ‘The Bees’: “Once I slept outside in a place where a river flows into the open ocean. The low-lying topography makes this place vulnerable to tsunami…

Pianist Bonnie Milne Releases New Music

There’s a certain kind of musician and/or songwriter who will play and write even if there’s no immediate hope for their music to ever find an audience. They aren’t doing this for fame or critical acclaim. Composers and musicians like Ontario’s Bonnie Milne are doing this to heed the call of an inner voice she’d likely heard all of her life and give back the gift she’s been given in…

“Keep Going” by SunniLong (feat. Stacccs)

SunniLong and Stacccs are on the move in their new music video for the single “Keep Going” this March, and even without the cinematic appeal of the chase sequence in the visualizer, this is a song that was meant to get our hearts pumping from the jump. Between the tempo of the percussion and the smoothly delivered adrenaline SunniLong is popping off with his vocal, we were always bound to…

“Firefly” from Ethan Gold

A rollicking groove and a swanky guitar riff are waiting to whisk us away to a dreamy harmony in the new single “Firefly” from Ethan Gold, and while I half-expected to be enamored with the compositional backbone of this track, just based on my experience with this artist’s content, I didn’t think the beat would be nearly as gripping as it is here. Gold’s other single out right now, “Storm…

Arkadian Drops New Single

Rap has been collectively moving to the left of pop standards for a minute now, as more and more crossovers come into the primetime spotlight, but for Arkadian, the time is right to bring forth an old-school straightforwardness that few have been experimenting with. His new single “Life of Arkadian” has a certain retro quality to its presentation, but relative to the other content that’s been coming out on both…

LNDN Releases “Life Like That”

Vancouver Island’s LNDN values artistic brevity rather than the all too typical ostentatious pop architecture so many other artists erect. The introspective message behind his new single “Life Like That” is universal enough that it will strike a chord with a wide audience and the accessible arrangement is a perfect vehicle for LNDN. He’s released an accompanying video for the track. Graham Dorsay directed the video and it’s a notable…

Fresh Da Zoe’s “Voodoo Flow”

Magic is in the air in the new music video for Fresh Da Zoe’s “Voodoo Flow,” and although the wicked imagery on screen is quite the reference to the occult on its own, the hypnotic nature of the beat in this single is a far more powerful element. Fresh Da Zoe is pulling out all the creative stops here – visuals, a punchy rhythm, even a linguistic fluidity that makes…

“Lit Life” by Selfish Ways

High-quality collaborations take us somewhere we wouldn’t expect any of the involved parties to venture on their own, and in their new single “Lit Life,” Selfish Ways and Maahez definitely jettison into concepts that I was not expecting to encounter from either act. Selfish Ways just dropped Gotham City Vibes in 2022, and among the tracks that are sporting features, “Lit Life” probably has the most experimental feel to its bones. Maahez…

Foundry Town Survivors Release “Hopes and Dreams”

Deconstructed rock is all the rage at the moment, and no matter what you call this emerging style, it feels so much more stripped-down than anything to have come out of alternative music since the late 1980s. Foundry Town Survivors play a pretty interesting blend of Americana, psychedelia, and indie rock in their new single “Hopes and Dreams,” the first song I’ve heard from the group since their inception, and…

“Sunny Days” by Stacy Gabel

“Sunny Days” is the wonderful new track from singer/songwriter Stacy Gabel. Just as warm as the title suggests, Gabel successfully catches sun rays and puts them to song. She spreads love and optimism and one would be hard pressed to not fall under her spell and the catchy chorus. The multiple-Lehigh Valley Style & Music Award Winner, continues to represent her home state of Pennsylvania with songs that make you…

“Big” by Nina Chanel

Alabama has always had one of the most underrated music scenes in all of the American south, but if a rapper like Nina Chanel is able to have it her way, that isn’t going to remain the case for very much longer. Chanel reps the Bama underground like nobody’s business in her new single and music video “Big,” a track which underscores many of the aesthetical foundations that gave birth…

Dynamyte – “Come Thru”

“Come Thru” is the poignant new single from Indie-pop singer/songwriter Dynamyte. Although the lyrics allude to an ill fated romantic relationship, the origin of “Come Thru” came from a night where her friends bailed on her last minute. Dynamyte had nothing to do but think about other peoples commitments and values, vs. her own. She finished writing “Come Thru” a year later, alongside co-writers Myah Marie and Zak Waters. As…

Corey Stapleton Releases “Sea Change”

In modern country music, the lines of the genre are becoming more and more blurred with every passing year. Some will argue that the genre has never had distinct boundary lines, but with the invention of starlet Taylor Swift, it’s safe to say that the nondescript lines of country and pop became eviscerated beyond recognition, regardless of what the 80s and 90s country stars had to say.

Lady Redneck Releases New Single

Introducing a concept of faith through more than lyrics is a task every Christian contemporary songwriter has to deal with, but rarely does a player do it quite as well as Lady Redneck does. Her new single, the simple “After the Rain, You’ll Find the Son,” has a lot in common with the surreal country movement we’re hearing more and more out of in 2022, but with one caveat; it’s…

Devinn Le’Raay “FaceTime”

Devinn Le’Raay is hot and bothered in the new single “FaceTime,” and with a little help from Lakes the Voice, he’s going to make sure we know just what he needs to get straight again. Le’Raay’s smooth demeanor punctuates a scandalous string of verses as stinging as they are simplistic, and although the lyrics are on the leaner side in “FaceTime,” the way they’re presented to us in this track…

“Toxic” by Bruce Lii

Judging from the pristine keys that greet us as we step into Bruce Lii’s world ala the new music video for “Toxic,” you would think we were in for a much more elegant number than this rocky, uncompromising performance is, but if you’re a fan of this player’s music, you know exactly what you’re getting in a piece like this one. “Toxic” pulverizes with its brute strength, most of it…

Bosco’s “Wicked Woods”

Introspection is a key theme in the music video for Bosco’s ballad “Wicked Woods,” and while the imagery contained within it seems to couple regret with a fleeting sense of reflection, it never extends itself outside of the self-awareness realm. Bosco doesn’t want to give us a sob story in this performance, but instead something tangible and relatable from an external perspective. His words are as heavy as bricks, but…
