Yuna: Live Your Life

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

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!

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...

It’s all gone BADBADNOTGOOD…..2

I’ve been listening to these guys nonstop  for about the past week straight. Mostly their second release conveinetly titled BBNG2 in which these talented teens show off their musicianship and creativity in a number of very cool ways. I’m not one for using too many lables and genres and in this case it’s pretty tough...

ForteBowie: I know what it takes, I’m just taking the mandatory steps

Got a call from my dude Snare Jordan from Cherub a couple weeks ago and he was telling me about the new music he’s been listneing to and working on. ForteBowie… Who?… ForteBowie. I trust Snare’s opinon so I checked out his latest project Something About Bowie and I knew I had to get in...

The most noticeable difference this time around is...

Kirby Lauryen: I won’t be a complete person until I learn how to be on the other side of love

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

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

252 is by far my favorite song from Gem Club. I’ve been consistently listening to their music lately and it’s served as the soundtrack to much soul-searching and problem solving for me. 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...
