We Talk About Music

Cami Rose has kicked the door open with a brand new record that absolutely took us by hold on the first listen. Detroit-born country soul vocalist Cami Rose has given the world her self-titled five-song EP which is a fun, big-hearted debut that sounds like the work of someone who’s been waiting a long time to share her voice. That voice is what drives the whole record. Cami grew up singing in chur...

We think it’s a major compliment when you listen to a record and actually feel like you’re standing in the room with the band. “Sounds of Seance” from Super Love is exactly that kind of listen! It’s warm, organic, and completely unfussy, the sort of record that invites you to relax, turn it up, and sing along for the ride. For those out of the know, Super Love is an alt-rock band on 88th Street Re...

There’s something so unbelievably honest about a song that admits love isn’t always easy, and “When We Kiss” from Texas singer-songwriter Kathy Ross is built on that honesty in a perfect way. It’s a candid, emotional look at heartache and the effort it takes to find your way back to each other after a relationship loses its spark. It’s also a gorgeous showcase for one of the most expressive voices...

Having firsthand experienced this rollout, it’s been an absolute blast getting to experience this EP come to life! "Never Been A Smooth Ride" wraps up Paul Frazer Clarke's Five Coordinates EP in the perfect way. We've been waiting on this final chapter for quite some time, and it absolutely delivers. It's an exceptional closer, one that feels like a celebration of everything...

After loving his debut single “Aim High”, we're thrilled to be back with Mike Denardo for round two, and "I Won't," released August 28th, 2026, continues to show off exactly why he's an artist worth following closely. This is a heartfelt, melody driven love song that wears its Beatles influence proudly while still carving out something distinctly his own. There's a really...

Hearing a band successfully bridge two eras without ever feeling stuck in either one is beyond impressive ! Lyons Lane just pulled it perfectly on their debut EP, and after listening multiple times, we’re not surprised in the slightest. Released September 25th on vinyl and streaming platforms, "You'll Talk About It!" is genuinely so much fun, a blast from the past filtered through a...

Five albums into an awesome career built on real connection rather than pure entertainment, Marc Ambrosia continues to prove why his music resonates so deeply with listeners! His latest album, "Living For The Thrill" might just be his most emotionally honest work to date. This is a record that celebrates resilience without ever ignoring vulnerability, and it does so with real warmth and...

After reviewing and loving so much of his music, we finally got the opportunity to sit and speak with Hilary Cousins! Having freshly released his latest single “The Well”, we dug into everything surrounding the song, but also really got to know this artist who’s an endless “well” of creativity. Known mostly for indie, folk, and rock arrangements built around drums and guitars, Cousins takes a slig...

Within the first 30 seconds, there’s a serious infectious energy to "Freedom," and it hits you right up until the closing moments. The Wilmington, Delaware born singer-songwriter Courtney Elle has crafted a song here that feels made for exactly the moments you'd hope, kicking back, pouring a drink, and letting the party naturally build around it. Elle has always had a gift for blendi...

This artist has quite literally pulled from an entire lifetime of influences and somehow made it all feel completely cohesive. Nath Tavares has accomplished a seemingly possible feat on her new album, "See Attachment." This is an absolute blast of an album, one that comes together to create an incredible range of sounds and stories into something that feels both sprawling and deeply pers...

There are tribute albums and then there are albums that feel like a genuine spiritual homecoming, and "Forever Muscle Shoals" from Chrissi Poland is unmistakably the second kind. Out now on all platforms, this record is a deeply personal love letter to one of the most important sounds in American music history, and Poland delivers it with the kind of intensity and heart that makes the wh...

There's infinite power in a song that takes something as vulnerable as self-doubt and transforms it into something resolute. Catlea has accomplished exactly that on their newest single, "Someone's Got To." Released worldwide on July 17th, this track is a beautifully crafted anthem of self-discovery, and it makes a genuinely strong case for why Catlea's music continues to reso...

There's such an immense amount of fearlessness running through "MUSIC SAVED MY LIFE," and it makes sense once you understand where Gabe Aree is coming from as an artist. The singer, songwriter, and producer has been writing music since he was just 9 years old, starting with a song called "Lonely," and that lifelong devotion to putting words and feeling into music comes thro...

There's something really beautiful about a song that comes from a place of genuine, hard won belonging, and "Airport Road" captures exactly that feeling. Violet Love, the solo project born out of years spent moving through punk scenes in Las Vegas and Denton, an indie folk band in Arizona, and now a life built in Michigan, has crafted something here that feels like a real step forwar...

There's something really special about a song that starts as a happy accident and grows into something that feels inevitable, and that's exactly the story behind "Burning Love." Leo Sawikin stumbled onto this one almost by chance, fooling around in an alternate tuning while trying to remember a completely different song, and landing instead on chords that felt strangely Celtic, a...

Automatic have spent the last few years building one of the tightest, most confident live shows in the current wave of post-punk-adjacent rock, and their Saturday afternoon set on the Panhandle stage at Outside Lands was proof the trio's new record only sharpens that reputation further. Touring behind Is It Now?, Izzy Glaudini and Halle Saxon brought a set that balanced synth-driven cool with...

Let's get one thing out of the way first. Despite sharing its name with one of the most iconic titles in  music history, Alex Otey's "Abbey Road" isn't chasing any Beatles comparisons here. This is very much its own thing, a lively, groove forward seven song album that leans entirely on Otey's own considerable talents rather than any borrowed nostalgia, and it's all t...

Rock music tends to work best when it hits that perfect balance between raw feeling and pure energy. Lean too hard into one and the other gets lost, but Orlando's own hard rock outfit Kings County has clearly figured out how to walk that line, and their newest single "What Now" might be the clearest proof yet of just how well they pull it off. Do yourself a favor and crank the volume...

There's something disarmingly sincere about a song that just wants you to feel good. No irony, no hedge, just an open hand extended toward some hope in this world. That's exactly what Rhode Island multi-instrumentalist Mike Denardo delivers with "Aim High," his latest single, released July 10th, 2026, and easily one of the most quietly affecting singles to land this summer. Denar...

Some songs are built to make you dance, and some are built to make you feel something deeper while you're doing it. Angel Dweh's new single "Hurtin Dem" manages to do both at once, and it's easily one of the most compelling records to come out of Liberia's music scene this year. Teaming up with fellow Liberian artist Teddyride, Dweh has crafted a track that feels like a g...

Sometimes the shortest songs say the most, and "A Ring For Kiki" is proof of that in under two minutes. Gamal, the multi-instrumentalist and producer whose decade plus career has moved fluidly between R&B, pop, hip-hop, and indie textures, strips everything back here for an all-instrumental acoustic guitar piece that feels like a held breath. There are no words, no hooks, or chorus t...

In a musical landscape that often rewards perfection and polished personas, Stefanie Michaela is here with something oh so refreshingly human. Her latest single, “Carefree,” isn't about chasing impossible standards or pretending life is effortless. It's an uplifting reminder that happiness often begins the moment we stop trying to control every outcome. Built around infectious pop melodies...

A song so different from the last it’ll surely give you musical whiplash in the best way possible! Isabella Chiarini has unsurprisingly crushed it again with “Out of Control,” a vibrant, infectious pop anthem that feels tailor made for warm weather playlists and festival singalongs. Following the intimacy of her previous stripped-back acoustic release “Gotta Be (stripped)”, this latest single arri...

To know that an artist like this at a young age is putting out music like this at only 15 is truly mindblowing. Tom Morfitt-White's latest single, “Home”, is outstanding from beginning to end, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg. At just 15 years old, the Melbourne singer songwriter delivers a beautifully understated blend of indie folk and country that feels thoughtful, heartfelt, and rema...

Sometimes an EP can feel like a stopgap between bigger projects, but Summer of Silence isn't one of those records. From the moment it begins, it's clear that Mercy Kelly approached these four songs with something to prove. Rather than simply following up a successful run of singles, the Greater Manchester trio have delivered a release that feels like a declaration of identity, confidence,...
