Showcasing the best in poetic story-telling & musical prowess, this album – originally called “Trump Songs for Leonard Cohen” – gives audiences a relevantly Cohen or Dylan-esque playlist of uplifting darkness & provocative reflections on life.

I’m a firm believer that an album should be a complete thought, from the continuity of the sound through to the order of the songs. A lot of times people will record over a long period of time, which often leads to something that seems disjointed.
Brendan McMahon strikes from the heart with this EP. Songs written from the perspective of a traveler, learning the ways of the world, the reality that stands in contrast with what we’re led to believe from afar.
There’s a lot about this that is fresh, which has value both creatively & in terms of being something music fans can take to when the old ways have grown too predictable.
A quick plea to music lovers: The future of independent music is dependent on you. You are the reason that an artist will become “the next big thing”, so don’t be shy. If you like an artist’s music – tell people, share it.
This single produced by JENIUS showcases the smooth musicality & clever conceptual approach of Finessen under a thoughtful & somewhat alternative light.
Episode three welcomes the incredible Jeremy Gladstone of Sleeping Bag Studios to the show. We talk about his journey in music so far, what it takes to craft a career in today’s music world, what it’s like to write music reviews, how to stay inspired, & what happened to Nickelback.
Bobbie Harvey is a UK based singer & songwriter currently pushing the craft to the limits with a small collection of finely written, brilliantly performed releases.
Dark Lite’s message is strong – don’t let any one tell you that you can’t do something. If the dream is there, go after it. From Belgium to New York is his story; a well produced, creative & passionate debut album.
The creative freedom to explore & express whatever is of interest is unstoppable here, which makes for something loaded with individuality. A touch of Outkast comes through on occasion, as does a hint of Cypress Hill. Everything else feels completely new.
This sort of composition and performance makes for the perfect pop-breakthrough track, relevant & well built, authentically performed, indicative of an eclectic artist on both sides.
Bringing together elements of electro-pop & trip-hop, the song has a certain softness that works gorgeously behind a distinctly memorable melody. The song is peacefully poetic & offers up a hopeful, easy to escape to vibe.
