We love your new single Trippin’! What genre of music do you consider your work to be? Thank you! I say my music is Pop/Rock/Eclectic yet it’s for you to decide 🙂 What drew you to pursue music? When I was a little girl I wanted to be Dolly Parton. Then Mariah Carey. And Madonna.

Hello! Thank you for taking time to chat with us!  2019 has been a big year for you musically – what are you most proud of? The moment that my single “Marked and Scarred” got approved to be played on national TV like MTV and even Netflix. What was your favorite venue that you played

Slabs of industrial white noise take on a forceful, scooped riff in the crushing “Darkness Calling.” Brutal beats skewed with a politicized verse are barked at us in “Defy.” Old school heavy metal sludge gets a gothic, Type O Negative-style twist in “Purple Door.” A bleak bassline and guttural vocals drag us asunder, beneath layers

Kerry Pastine and the Crime Scene aren’t remaking the songwriting wheel with their new single “City of Love”. The title song from their third album together, however, claims well-traveled territory as their own and refurbishes it in a signature fashion. Pastine has a voice capable of transforming any material she touches; for her, the question

URL: https://www.jennifertruesdale.com/ As light as a feather in the slow jam “Moving Mountains,” crushingly evocative in “Sunrise,” Jennifer Truesdale’s lead vocal is presented to us in a litany of ways in her rookie release Through the Circle, but one thing that listeners can count on finding in every performance on the album is brilliantly emotional lyrics

You and your music give off such positive vibes – how do you stay so upbeat? It’s a constant work in progress. For the longest time, I only wrote angry, sad, or jaded music because that’s how I was feeling about my life and the world around me. A couple years ago, I started taking self-care

Your new album Thou Art That is beautiful. What was the inspiration behind the title? Thank you. The inspiration behind the title was from a painting I made of a palm tree. I titled the painting Tat Tvam Asi. It’s Sanskrit. It is from the Upanishad. It is a declaration,  “Thou At That”. It is

Songs composed for a soundtrack don’t always translate as well on their own as they do within the context of a complete film, but in the case of Hooked Like Helen’s “Liar,” the new single (and music video) from this Ohio-based pop duo is just as fetching in either scenario. Structured around a grandiose piano

If anyone ever said that it was easy to make an original, quality rap track in the late 2010s, they were either lying or straight up didn’t know what they’re talking about – it’s quite the contrary, in all reality. The millennial hip-hop fan has a higher standard that previous generations had, and in this
