Sara Kendall is back with her dark new song “You Don’t Own It”. Sara’s voice is sultry and understated, getting under your skin in the verses and delivering a killer falsetto in the choruses. The production is sparse and spacious, creating a dark atmosphere thick with heavy air. There’s something cinematic in the way this […]
Axel Mansoor is back, but this time with a beautiful acoustic twist. “Father Time” is the first single off of Axel’s upcoming acoustic EP “Somerset” which will feature new acoustic songs and stripped-down versions of previously releases songs. Axel sounds right at home in this folky (Jack Johnson-esue) acoustic place and this song is sure […]

Halfway through the track Ariel Shrum comes in […]
Cautious Clay continues his rise with his smooth new song “French Riviera”. This track is so interesting & Cautious Clay is deliberate in avoiding easy genre definitions. The sound design for the percussion is sparse, almost sounding mouth-made, keeping the groove consistent as larger synths and percussion elements build around it. Cautious Clay’s voice is […]
As a music-nerd I need to preface this review by saying that “Seven Eight” by Deanna Devore is actually in ⅞ time. The reason I mention this, is that while other songs might hide their most unique element, Deanna Devore puts this front & center and it makes all the difference. This is a song […]
KORDELYA explores her Latin roots with her new song “Loca”. This is the first Spanish song from KORDELYA (formerly Cordelia and the Buffalo) and highlight her strengths as a bilingual songwriter and producer. The sparse production elements hold the song together and have a distinct tribal sound (that she calls “Tribal Pop Electronic”) which evokes […]
