Yuna: Live Your Life
 I like this track by Yuna. Not because it’s produced by Pharrell which is a plus, but because it’s so chill but upbeat at the same time. It’s a really good blend of the two opposites. Yuna is a newcomer from Malaysia whose very talented and true to the art of music by all means. Check...

Patience is a virtue Daley
Today’s ear candy comes from an artist who is really fresh to the game but handles himself very well. 30,000 downloads to his debut EP humbly titled, Those Who Wait; and two strong singles, one of which features former Floetry vocalist Marsha Ambrosius. He writes, plays, and does well live, which are all keys to...

Oliver Tank… Yes Please!
Heartfelt computer music. That’s how Oliver Tank describes his music and I can’t disagree with him. I’ve been checking out his music ever since I read about him on one of my favorite sites The Burning Ear. His latest EP Dreams was one I really enjoyed because it holds true to a dreamlike state in...

Kirby Lauryen: I won’t be a complete person until I learn how to be on the other side of love
One thing about me… I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to music; songwriting especially. That’s why this is probably my favorite feature thus far; because Kirby Lauyren is not just a great voice, but an excellent songwriter and all-around talent. In any craft, consistency is the name of the game. It’s what sets you apart,...

Gem Club: I think it is just being comfortable with yourself and your ideas that makes you a better artist

The band consists of Christopher Barnes on piano and vocals; Kristen Drymala on cello; and Ieva Berberian providing additional vocals. Together they have experienced much...
