Review Written by Reviewer Victoria Scott & Staff A massive metal guitar hit introduces the erratic, electric, and evasive vocals, detailing the emotional strain of being undermined and underappreciated by ego-driven superiors in “Still Angry” from the album Career Ending Move by Karl Meyer. The explosion of “Still Angry,” "punk for adults" with tight drums by Tim Reisig, heavy bass and killer guitar by Karl, and stimulating vocals from Karl and Sabrina Betancourt take the so

“Eventually” is a song by pop singer and major film actress Cynthia Basinet. The song begins with a brief intro of piano and strings. Basinet’s captivating vocals come in with the first verse. For two phrases, Basinet, supported by only piano, skillfully commands the listener’s attention with ease. She is mesmerizing. The cello enters with the third phrase, and plays a lush line in support of the melody through the rest of the verse. With brilliant arranging by David Shenton

Review Written by Ionas Finser, Matt Wong & Staff In advance of Love Rebel, her upcoming debut solo pop and dance album coming this year, Roxanne shares "Take A Ride", her brand new second solo single. "Take A Ride" has thought of everything, from a satisfyingly acidic bass that keeps you on your toes, to a use of backing vocals that is purely genius. As electric, ambient voices echo between phrases, you are pulled in helplessly to this exciting new hit. “Take A Ride” demonst

Written by Sylvie Marie & Staff Happy Curmudgeons “2nd Chances” is a Country/Americana ballad about leaving the past behind and moving on with your life to meet someone special to share your experiences with The song opens with a quick riff on guitar that switches into some rhythmic strumming.

Music Review Written by Ionas Finser & Staff Gentle, somber strings open this dazzling piece of music, providing a soft bed for subtle col legno and a disorienting, panned accordion motif. The piece is graced by an exquisite bass solo by legendary bass player, Stanley Clark. Pauline Frechette’s vocals enter with a mood reminiscent of a 1920’s French love song, and the texture and breadth of a breeze blowing through the trees. Depth and moodiness come naturally to this otherw

Written by Reviewer Victoria Scott & Staff “No Be Joke” from the album The Awoodah Begins is an imaginative Afro-pop ballad with an energetic, catchy, syncopated rhythm.

Written by Reviewer Victoria Scott & Staff “Take It Slow” (Gotta Say Hey) is a techno soul/RnB song from the Songs of Love album by Craymo. Signature to the song's sound is Craymo's dynamic vocals. Craymo boasts a vocal tone that encompasses some nice David Bowe fluctuations heard in his husky voice. The song's rhythmic sections have modern techno influences enhanced by bongos and a shaker that keeps a clean, in-the-pocket time. In the second iteration of the chorus, there's
