Vineet Singh Hukmani is venturing into territory no other musician has dared. His new project is a full-fledged multiverse consisting of music, an accompanying comic book, and a 3D animated film. Run Storm & the Hope Star delivers the story of his character, an alter-ego named Run Storm, and the first music single from the multiverse project “Run!

With a piercing tonality that verges on retro in style a couple of times, the sterling but simple fretwork Benevolent & Divine intends on dishing out in their new single “Hyacinth” is nothing short of a magnetizing treasure for this track. Although all good rock n’ roll indeed relies on a certain level of melodic
Backed by a rambunctious rhythm that isn’t preceded by a big theatrical intro, the opening bars of “Fare Thee Well” by the charismatic Lindley Creek make it clear that fanciful frills of the conventional variety are not to be found in this new single from the acclaimed country crossover outfit. Contrarily, this is a roots
Two people can connect in incredible ways through the majesty of melodicism, and perhaps spring is the best time for a smart duet to debut, as it matches the tone of the season better than most any other kind of song in pop music can. Bruce Sudano is crooning alongside a worthy collaborator in Valerie
Lusty and alluding to an unspoken yet clubbish energy that could turn the temperature up in just about any room it’s played in, the groove beneath the lyrics in the new single “19” from up-and-coming pop singer/songwriter Taylor Jules is certainly one of the main reasons to give the track a listen this spring –
Though they don’t play as big a part here as they have in other iconic rock songs, the guitars that lace King Falcon’s “Cadillac” with sizzle are undeniably just as integral to the single’s chills factor as any of the other elements in the music are. If you haven’t already heard their work but like
To say music compromises a crucial part of Nathan Stanley’s DNA is an understatement. The grandson of bluegrass giant Dr. Ralph Stanley, one part of the famed Stanley Brothers and renowned for his performances with The Clinch Mountain Boys, comes by his voice honestly. He’s refined his work over the course of ten albums and
Indulgent but made valuable through more than its melodic charms alone, Shiloh June’s singing is reason enough for you to check out the new single “Down” this spring, but if you think it’s the only noteworthy element comprising the latest official release from this deeply talented pop balladist, you’re in for quite the surprise. Building
Like an unhinged steel door left to swing like a pendulum, the potent decadence of “The Shelter of Thieves” can be powerful enough to break through even the strongest of emotional barriers. “The Shelter of Thieves” isn’t the only song on Ann Brita Nilsson’s new solo offering Eleven Something that utilizes a poetic grind to entrance anyone
“If you feel that you have begun, or are in the midst of a spiritual awakening, you should consider yourself lucky,” writes Ora Nadrich in her new book, titled Time to Awaken: Changing the World with Conscious Awareness. “Not everyone gets a chance to emerge from what I call a ‘sleepwalker trance’, and find themselves
No matter how loyal you are to the old Nashville, there’s no denying it – hybridity is becoming absurdly common in country music these days, if not a new standard in the genre’s alternative faction, but there are still a handful of singer/songwriters around ready to answer prayers for old school purities. One of them
Luna Grey scores big with her new single “Gumball”. It follows on the heels of a recent spate of releases for this young performer while solidifying her claim as one of the best new performers working in indie-pop today. She isn’t due to be consigned to indie pop status for long, however, as “Gumball” shows
Tommy Howell is putting everything on the line in the song “Hell of a Life,” one of eleven found on his new record American Storyteller this winter, but the brooding tonal presence of his voice is not isolated to this one excerpt from the tracklist. From the nature of the verses to his throaty delivery, there’s no
Extended plays are too often wrought with unfocused passion and a lingering hesitant execution that is common among players in a transitional state of creativity, but this isn’t true of DEVORA’s God is Dead. Consisting of four simple but thoroughly engaging compositions, God is Dead is an EP feels more like a miniature album than it is a
“Bambara’s Symmetries”, the first track on Louis Siciliano’s latest release entitled Ancient Cosmic Truth, wastes little time making an impression on listeners. Siciliano’s fiery and inspired musical instincts find fertile ground in this up-tempo setting and the musicians complementing his vision are sympathetic to his creative direction. It results in one of the more stellar
For every Stevie Wonder or Funkadelic impersonation you’ll hear on the radio today, or in the last four decades, you’re bound to have at least one or two good ones, right? In recent years, audiences have been given slim pickings when it comes to modern funk music, but popular artists such as Childish Gambino (see:
Remember the 2003 trailer for the upcoming Bryan Singer film X-Men 2: United? Now it’s the time for those who are different, to stand together? That kind of messaging rings loud and clear with the agency A-DOT Media, founded and run by artists and entrepreneurs Damir A. Romano and Mark A. Wagner. Romano and Wagner may not be
In her new single, titled “Are You Clapping?,” pop songstress Taydem Shoesmith expands on the melodic framework outlined in the millennial singer/songwriter movement with smashing results, delivering a soft rhythm-powered number that makes use of her vocal skillset wonderfully. “Are You Clapping?” pushes boundaries on several levels, starting with its blend of tones found in
It’s been said that actors are like sharks – always on the hunt for that next role, that next juicy opportunity. The hard work and hustle, if you will, seems to be embedded in actor (and sometimes producer) Linda Collins. She not only caught the acting bug, but her symphony background bolsters an already magnetic
It isn’t often that a synthesizer dishes out the sort of endearing melodicism that we normally associate almost exclusively with string instruments in western pop music, but that’s exactly what audiences can expect to discover in the charming “Shame,” from the acclaimed Migrant Motel. Through their boisterous and evocative harmonization with the lead vocal, we
As glowing and full of rich vitality as a warm sun, Christine Hand’s compelling lead vocal in songs like “In the Black and White,” “Love Me True” and the brokenhearted “Slow Dance,” all of which can be found on her latest release, Standing on the Shoulders, is undeniably the most magnetizing element for us to behold
Williamson Branch are not newcomers to the bluegrass world. The five-piece family group has amassed an ever-growing reputation as one of the most well-rounded acts in this style that you will ever hear and their new collection Very Merry Christmas. The fourteen songs slated for inclusion on the album range from traditional Christmas material played straight,
Guitar-driven melodies were once overwhelmingly commonplace in metal and hard rock music, but in 2022, they’re not quite as contemporary as they used to be. This isn’t because of an underground lacking in fret-born energy, however, and the likes of Dark Below are challenging the narrative with their new single “Hate Being Human” this autumn.
Congratulations on your latest music ‘ Love Came Down’ Jennifer! What is the biggest tip you followed when creating the sound? I actually wrote this song back in 2018. The song was recorded by someone else and released. I thought they did a great job; however, I always felt a disconnect with the song. There
There aren’t as many detail-oriented players in the pop genre as there were, say, ten years ago, but that isn’t stopping miQa.el from taking intricacies pretty seriously in his new single “Walking Medicine.” Where a lot of artists would have streamlined the hook in this inviting new track, miQa.el works out a rigid groove and
2022 has been such a huge year for young country singers from one side of our nation to the other, and Jeremy Parsons is one of the top-caliber cowboys that I’ve had the pleasure of examining this autumn. In “Tickin’,” the velvet-voiced Parsons begs for us to look at country music through the lens of
Lyrical substance only matters when you’re working with a good delivery, but fortunately for the new single “Buttercup,” Little Hurt and The Ready Set are here to make an otherwise simple pop tune sound like an identity-affirming statement of self. A collaboration between an upstart player and a certified pro, Little Hurt’s “Buttercup” demonstrates an
Of Limbo is steadily carving out a place in the modern rock world as one of the fiercest bands appearing in recent years. If rock is dead, as some say, someone forgot to tell Of Limbo’s three members. Brothers Jake and Luke Davies are Australian by birth, but they create music capable of transcending quaint
To know Paul Oakenfold’s original angle on “Ready Steady Go” and then hear Sick Puppies’ take on it, there was obviously a boost in adrenaline and percussion added into the mix. Even folks who might not be able to place the track will have undoubtedly heard it in numerous films, such as Collateral and The Bourne Identity,
If you know Everett De Morier, you know unpredictability. In a career that has spanned more than twenty-five years, Mr. De Morier has written everything from the Weekly World News’ My Wife Is Having the Reincarnation of Elvis to the Hollywood optioned Thirty-Three Cecils. He’s an essayist, an author, a humorist, a contributor, a thinker.
