“Tupelo Rhythm” by Vili V

Vili V has been on the edges of my musical radar for several years as one of the most artful practitioners of roots rock working today. The Canadian performer is prepping for the release of his latest studio album In Daddy’s Arms Again and the single “Tupelo Rhythm” from that collection is ample evidence that he’s still keeping the same prodigious creativity that he has since the late 1990s. “Tupelo Rhythm” is…

Paris King “Jealousy”

Jealousy is one hell of an intense reggae effort. There’s such an assurance to the delivery of the single’s vocals that fans will be immediately incorporated into the dirty groove. The chorus is something that serves both masters – it both is able to punctuate the main mass of heavy bass beats and horns while furthering their themes and overall sound. Jealousy is one of those songs that will have…

Andrew X “Whatever It Takes” 

Andrew X has released a new single in Whatever It Takes that builds upon the radio rock tradition of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ Learning to Fly and Jeff Healey’s Angel Eyes and incorporates just a hint of Endless Summer Nights-era Richard Marx. Huge synths and splashy are the perfect one-two to bring his vocals into the stratosphere. The sizzling guitar work and intense drums work well as the bridge.…
