Snappy and sharp country songwriting, an infectiously upbeat groove, and a melody that’s quick to sink its teeth in. Songwriter Bob L-A highlights the very best of his abilities in being whole-heartedly committed to the writing craft, with a catchy bounce, lyrical hilarity and scorn all carefully intertwined, for the brilliantly memorable Like The Garbage That You Are.
Songwriter
Todd Underwood consistently masters this meeting between surface level entertainment and the subtle but striking thought-process of an artist seeking to make sense of the world.
Nostalgic acoustic RnB with soulful harmonies and a heartfelt, scornfully honesty thread of lyricism. Kesha Lee takes things back to the bare essentials of songwriting and performance, with the naturally catchy, evocative, intimate and genuine single You Hurt Me.
Upbeat country pop with an underlying dance groove – genre-fusing songwriter Gary Louca returns to the solo realm, with a catchy new single from his impending country electro pop album.
Beautiful music, organic folk-pop with heartfelt songwriting and humble vocals at the forefront. Mackenzie Miller delivers a classic, timeless album, with the eleven original songs of Peninsula.
From folk pop softness to Johnny Cash confidence and grit, the style of Allan J rings loud as consistently unique for this release. The set-up and production, the lyrics and melodic meandering, the voice itself, all leans in the direction of something both original and inspiring, and fittingly, that’s also the essence of the song itself.
Around You sees us move away from the shoulder-swaying grooves of the past, for an upbeat indie gem of a track; one that feels like a slept-on classic from the late nineties days of Girl From Mars and Drinking in LA.
Acoustic roots return to lift up the forever unmistakable vocal stylings and lyrical darkness and depth of 3mind Blight. The iconic indie songwriter collaborates once again with Crimson Violet Blight, this time for a melodic and guitar-led venture through an evocative story of betrayal, denial, disgrace, and desperation.
Bryan Braning was inspired by his wife and daughters to write the songs of Rise Phoenix. The tracks read like poems in many ways, often abstract and provocative, rather than literal and detailed or following specific scenes. There’s a depth to the wonder of each song, and the music backs that up well.
Beautifully captured for that reverb-kissed ethereal chamber of contemplation, There Is A Sound pours through like a nostalgic feeling of depth and wonder. The song achieves a sense of intimacy and vastness all at once, utilising contrast beautifully from these lower-toned verses to the impassioned and higher-pitched hook.
That’s the key with much of Blue Julius’ songwriting – this sense of newness intertwined with that which naturally connects and soothes.
Featuring subtle vocal harmonies and a clear sense of longing and warmth carefully intertwined, Been Everywhere But Me is a profound retelling of the turmoil that inevitability comes from living a life incompatible with our authentic selves.
