With how strong the influence of music from the eighties has been over the years, it is not much of a surprise when people release new music that contains a style that truly feels like something that would have been around several decades ago.
Albums
There is no such simplicity as a verse-chorus-verse-chorus set-up on this album. Expect stories, expanding scenes of emotional & artistic turmoil, and absolute, unwavering creativity.
J-Carter is a thoughtful artist, creative & expressive, unafraid to deal with topics others may stray away from. This is only his second album, and by the rate & quality of these releases – expect bigger & bolder things to keep on emerging.
Ridikule puts everything into this – the playlist pours through with creative & comedic skits, musical details that keep things interesting, and an overall theatrical level of passion & entertainment that reminds you of the classic breakthrough albums of the genre.
Hype! is an album ready & waiting to fill the room around you with chaotic energy & classic rock & roll brightness. It’s a project fit for the build-up to anything big – consider this your weekend playlist.
The duo exercise a sheer love for music – their passion runs through everything, making this far more about the writing & the expression & being lost in the moment than anything deeply rooted in genre or specific styles.
This is a stunning, head-spinning release with something for everyone, but will likely be appreciated most of all by devoted music fans looking for a different spin on time-tested formulas & approaches.
You can really lose yourself in this album as a playlist, the music is thick & loud & lets you escape reality, but at the same time – the songs deal with issues of the heart; things that matter, things that affect people.
Aidan as an artist has a distinctly expressive, considerate way with creative pursuits. His musicianship impresses throughout in a modest & endearing way. Worth a listen during any quiet night in.
Rebecca Rogers Davis may slave away for The Man during her days, but we hear her real vocation here – a songwriter & born entertainer who will hopefully keep writing & recording for some time to come.
Rival showcases Kbackwood$’ own personal truth & individuality in a big way. Modern hip hop fans or those of us who think far too much will most likely find solace in these songs.
The perfect playlist of indie-rock & country fusion, offering both the grit & storytelling of Americana, alongside some superbly immersive soundscapes & unforgettable melodies.
