Big-band vibes and uplifting Gospel choirs aplenty kick off this Faith-focused compilation album from California’s Elmark Music Label.
Music
A beautifully connected body of work that has an agenda of gentle care and wonderful, wide-eyed story-telling. It smacks of an uncompromising vision and an affinity for the work that’s both singular and compelling.
The Assist have made Life to raise money for the UK’s NHS charities in these trying times, and it’s an accomplished, well-mixed and well-meaning tune with great dynamics and a lot to express over its 5 and a half minute duration.
Accomplished, fun and thoughtful, Dream is a great calling card for what Silent Gnomes are all about.
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.
This release will resonate with every person with a heart and a brain and ears. It’s about everyone, and it’s for everyone.
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.
