This song is lyrical genius. To be fair I thought it was a song about a boy and boys being like that one particular one. But no, there’s an ambiguity in the song, and it is the theme as let’s face it dating in the 21st century is complex. I know. I dated in the …

Single Review: “Hero Myth” Dekker
This track is stunning. It’s acoustic, features shakers, a kick drum and snare and ethereal background sounds. It’s gorgeous. The thing I liked about this song is the lyric content, it’s like the self doubt that you have when you are presenting one image to the world but inside you’re finding an internal battle. There …
Single Review: “Indigo” – Brasstracks X Adelaide James
This song is proper pop. It caught my ear as I was going through the spotify recommendations and checked out the rest of the album and this is track 2. I thought they were making a mistake when recommendation as part of their jazz curation, but…. This actually works! It’s so catchy, with a singalong …
Single Review: “Ready” – Cory Wong and Ben Rector
This track screams summer soul! Wow! From the top, guitar virtuoso Cory Wong opens fire with muted guitar playing 16ths although I get the feeling that may be delays, and the guitar sound over that comes in over the top playing the main riff.. I can’t even get my head around it.. it’s clean, it’s …

Those guitars are beautifully played! The …

Blog interview: King Darius The Great
Congratulations on the release of “Self Love (Re-Up)” how does it feel? It feels absolutely amazing. It feels like the equivalent of being suffocated then being allowed to breathe again. The installation of R&B singer/actress Hayzell B, is nothing short of a wonderful gift from the universe, as she totally exceeded expectations with her …

Congratulations on the release of “Craniotomy” , how does it feel? like a huge weight has been lifted off our shoulders.

Single Review: “This One’s For” – Joshua Radin
I became a fan of Joshua Radin when one of his tracks was featured on a particularly emotional episode of Scrubs that a lot of fans really connect with… More on that later. Anyway, Joshua is back with a new single – “This One’s For”, an acoustic number, his vocals are gorgeous on this, he …
