“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
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
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

As #TheSimonettaLeinShow closes its 5th season with its final episode of 2022, the show welcomes American musician, comedian, and iconic television personality, Justina Valentine. You all know Justina from her time on the hit comedy series, Nick Cannon’s Wild’N Out. Beginning her music career in 2012 with her first mix tape, Justina continued her entertainment career in 2016 when she joined
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
Who else but hosts Wendy Stuart and Tym Moss could “spill the tea” on their weekly show “If These Walls Could Talk” live from Pangea Restaurant on the Lower Eastside of NYC, with their unique style of honest, and emotional interviews, sharing the fascinating backstory of celebrities, entertainers, recording artists, writers and artists and bringing their
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

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
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.
It’s a curious thing, a thin thread to traverse. Some bands can sound like they are from a particular school, a style or influence coloring their music; yet possess one crucial idiosyncratic quality or attribute that spins their music off into multiple possibilities. Messer is one of those bands. The hard rock outfit out of
There’s nothing quite like a youthful enthusiasm to get the ball rolling in a holiday pop jingle, and Rob Alexander wisely utilizes as much at the start of his new single “Merry Christmas in Heaven.” He doesn’t need a lot of bombast or virtuosity to set the pace in this track; he’s got freewheeling energy
Contrast can be your best friend or your worst enemy in a recording studio and beyond, and for artist and acclaimed pianist Elizabeth Sombart, it’s the former more than it is the latter. Sombart’s epic Singing the Nocturnes has her under consideration for a Grammy Award, and it’s no doubt thanks to the album’s stirring
Little Hurt is the solo project, of a sort, for former Mowglis front-man Colin Dieden and its new single “Cooler If U Did” sticks with you like a particularly artful rant. Dieden’s aims and overall tone are very different with this project than the work he put in with his one-time bandmates, but they share
“The true man wants two things….danger and play. For that reason he wants woman….as the most dangerous plaything”…. Frederich Nietzsche Phenomenal composer, and singer/songwriter anomaly Randy Edelman has just released his exuberant and zestful re- mix of “Pretty Girls” via Tribeca Records (a SohoJohnny Enterprise). “Pretty Girls (Can Be Dangerous) (not to be confused with
Her new single “Sun’s Gonna Shine” only reinforces Dale Ann Bradley’s near-peerless reputation within the bluegrass community. She collaborates with fellow Kentuckian J.P. Pennington on this track from her new full-length album Kentucky for Me. Pennington’s pedigree as a member of country music supergroup Exile gives Bradley’s single a little added cachet, but the song ultimately
