This feels like a slept-on classic from a simpler time, and still the concept focuses on something that much of modern music refuses to even attempt.

Big-band vibes and uplifting Gospel choirs aplenty kick off this Faith-focused compilation album from California’s Elmark Music Label.
The realness, the emotion and integrity, the depth and the detail, is everything most of us tend to crave when seeking out escapism, new podcasts, or simply something unequivocally human.
Switching up his flow on three different occasions throughout, riding the simple repetition of the soundscape with style and purity, A.K.A. THE TRUTH is an artist with a boldly appropriate name.
Fresh from the brand new album, blissful piano work meets with classic nineties synth and vocal layers, and the whole thing is brought to life by the unmistakable confidence and energy of Georgia’s POPMFS.
Contrast kicks in with fierce power as the drop to an unexpectedly creative and heavy beat fires up a whole new section of the track.
The mellow swagger of that guitar part loops around the listener in a calming manner, and the satisfying resolve of being a Happy Mess leaves a powerful feeling that everything will be alright. What more could you ask for?
Not only is the soundscape uniquely original, balancing that classic bounce with a live-sound that would undoubtedly translate awesomely to the stage, but Johnny JC showcases himself as a quickly likable, faultless performer & lyricist.
From the complexities of love to contemplation of life itself, this album underlines the meandering existence of a soulful, expressive artist.
Impressively creative, professional & hard hitting. It doesn’t simply adhere to a single genre or rule, it presents a versatile artist, with an intention to speak the truth, and to revel in a clear, unwavering love for music in all of its forms.
Riding the wave of contemporary, topical music making, Jace Heyman stylishly blends a simple and infectious hook melody, with a familiar concept, a clean and calming soundscape, and an unexpected tumble of subtle reggae rhythms for this brand new single.
From delicate acoustic beginnings, to the full-throttle passion of a classic rock ballad, the single showcases an artist at the top of her game.
