Producers Michael Tennant and Nathan Prince host The Upstaging Gentleman – Chasing Theatrical Dreams, a Podcast devoted to exploring the art of theater and all that comes with it.
An industrial whirlwind of sound – cascading synths, melodies, harmonies and a rhythmic robotic stomp of a rhythm – the iconic Isaiah Mclaughlin returns, with the aptly-titled, extensive conceptual album Reincarnation.
Performatively nostalgic, the song has the anthemic energy and production quality of a nineties power ballad, elevated all the more so by the equally retro dance design of the soundscape. The energy builds, and both Veronica’s delivery and the musical set-up creatively reinforce that evolution.
“I was selected for the Grammy’s in the producers and engineers wing 5 years ago and that was a huge accomplishment as an indie artist! #blessed”
Kyle Jaymes is unmistakable as an artist, and refreshingly authentic and humble at the very same time. His songwriting and musicianship consistently promise versatility from one track to the next, but always that central voice, in lyric, structure and tone, remains distinctive.
Getting into the groove with an organic rock stomp but also uniting this unexpectedly with a poetically evocative set of lyrics – Michael Novak soothes the soul, with the blues rock beauty and storytelling of Used To Be.
“This was a song that came out of passion, I penned the lyrics 25 years ago and recorded a demo with a friend, a flat mate, and fellow ex-band member Steve Mulligan. I was very upset and angry at the time in what I was hearing and seeing coming out of occupied Palestine.”
New music from MC Shep can only mean one thing – it’s time for a catchy groove. Promising another quirky anthem, this time with an addictive shuffle and a classic bass line, MC Shep leads with an easy set of dance moves and a song that simply relays those moves in a Cha Cha Slide kind of fashion.
One for the divine electronic audio fans – producer and artist NAO crafts with an impressive balancing of emotion and professional precision.
Awake is the latest single to emerge, a finely-built soundscape of softly euphoric synths, deep house warmth, and delicate, lighter contrasting vocals.
“I’d describe my music as jazz, but in the widest definition of the word. I’m allowing myself to constantly explore different genres, including ambient music, funk, electronic classical/orchestral and pretty much everything in between. This includes music for film, TV and video games.”
“Even though I enjoy the process of making music, I think as the time goes on I’ll struggle more and more with the lack of motivation. Even now it’s getting kinda hard to stay motivated.”
