Reeya Banerjee’s final single before the release of her album This Place is a soaring, echo drenched anthem about grown up love, making tough choices and the bittersweet ache of moving on.
“Upstate Rust” draws its title from a passing comment during Banerjee’s NYC years. Something of an offhand phrase that became a personal badge of identity, and which is now the emotional centerpiece of this record. Continue reading
There’s a stillness in “I Am a Wave” that somehow says everything.
As the final track on Molly Thomas’s upcoming album Tumble Home, it arrives like a quiet exhale after a long and emotional journey – soft but resolute, delicate and yet full of depth.
Co written and performed by Thomas and longtime collaborator Ken Rose, this song is both a gentle parting and a profound summation, speaking to the impermanence of connection and the inevitability of returns. Continue reading
On her long awaited debut album Debo Ray, the Boston based artist bursts on to the scene. This is a record that is both reclamation and revelation. And it is a fearless one too with its exploration of musical genres as well as themes of identity, truth and artistic power.
From the opening notes of “Tell Me What You Want,” Ray makes her intentions clear. The track folds slick R&B rhythms into a spitfire rap verse, a bold and immediate sign that Ray’s musical instincts refuse to stay in one lane. Continue reading
For anyone who’s ever worked a 9 to 5 in New York City, Reeya Banerjee’s latest single “Runner” might hit a little too close to home, only in the best way possible.
It’s a sharp, breathless burst of punk-leaning indie rock that captures the madness of the daily grind with wit, style and honesty. Continue reading
There’s nothing delicate about Gun-Shy Butterfly’s latest single, “Manchild,” released today.
Despite the name, this Philadelphia based duo isn’t here to flutter quietly. They are here to explode.
With distortion drenched guitar hooks, crashing drums and a dual vocal attack that balances melody and rage, “Manchild” arrives like a clenched fist through the speaker. Continue reading
In “Morphic Resonance”, Ben Neill doesn’t just compose a track. He constructs an alternate physics for music itself. The piece, named after biologist Rupert Sheldrake’s controversial theory that memory exists in nature through morphic fields, unfolds like a living system.
It’s cyclical, reactive and quietly radical. It’s not a song you hear once and remember – it’s one that seems to remember you. Continue reading
With today’s release of “Nightmare Paradise”, rock veterans SIREN have delivered a hauntingly cinematic track that blurs the line between romance and ruin.
Drawing deep from Americana myth and modern rock energy, the band’s latest single captures the tragic glamour of doomed love with a powerful mix of grit, melody, and storytelling. Continue reading
In her stunning new single “Open Wide”, Havilah Tower delivers a deeply vulnerable meditation on disillusionment, inner clarity and the slow, powerful unraveling that often precedes healing.
“Open Wide” is the kind of song that feels like sitting across from someone who, after a long silence, finally decides to say the thing they have been holding in their chest. And when they say it, the room changes. Continue reading
What if you wandered into a dusky club tucked beneath a city that no longer exists – half Paris, half Chicago, entirely its own dream – and found a band already mid-sway? The singer leans on the piano, her grin razor-sharp, her voice dipped in velvet and irony. The guitarist barely blinks as he peels … Continue reading
From the first track of “King Jaymes” it’s clear this isn’t your standard debut album.
It’s a culmination – a work that arrives already heavy with lived experience, past lives and sharpened purpose. Stephen Jaymes may be releasing his first full length record, but the journey here has been anything but sudden.
Over the course of two years, Jaymes has quietly built a discography of singular singles and a string of artful and daring videos that blurred the line between performance and persona. Continue reading
