Review by: Mut “yup I said it” Asheru Okay here we go. MBLAQ’s 5th mini album (or EP as it were) SEXY BEAT is an aptly titled body of work. The sound is decidedly more sexy and smooth than their previous albums. Dare I say this collection is for grown folk…or at least grownish folk. [...]
Review by: Corbyn Bricie So we have a thing about resetting musical compasses right now. We’ve been blessed to come across some very strong indie albums this year and Zeph Allen’s DEFINE BELIEVE is another breath of fresh air. What wins for Allen is his simple lyrics. Nestled in their simplicity is wake up sign [...]
Review by: Corbyn Bricie Hot diggity-doggon-damn. Unwed Mothers’ self-titled CD UNWED MOTHERS is rock/blues/soul that we can wholeheartedly get behind. Usually, our reviewer opinions don’t necessarily represent the moods and feelings of the entire staff. I’m not always excited enough by what I hear to share it with everyone. But this album is something entirely [...]
By: Carolina Jones Label: Odd Future Records It’s good ya’ll. Not great but consistently good. This is the 3rd album and if Tyler the Creator was gonna fall off it would have happened by now. So it’s confirmed with his 3rd CD WOLF that he knows what he’s doing behind and in front of the [...]
By: Mut Asheru I had to spend some quality time with this album. I’m a Laura Marie fan but I wanted to clear my head and come at this review objectively. Love for LM aside…I love this album. THE SEASON is Laura Marie’s 3rd solo album and she’s gotten more folksy, country on this album [...]
Review By: Corbyn Bricie The Glass Wall finds Imani Coppola on the same ground of good shit that she has always been on. This album if anything is more “wide-audience” friendly than her previous works. More pop than punk. The album opens with “State of the Art” a telling track of how she feels about [...]
Review By: T. Mathenia Okay you absolutely have to be in the mood for this one. You have to be freakishly clear about what you’re getting ready to listen to before you listen. This is not the CD to listen to on a whim…unless you’re whim catches you in a hippishly good mood. This is [...]
Kingdoms – Jets Under Fire By: Corbyn Bricie Austin, TX based Jet’s Under Fire music has been described as Christian music, but I’d like to think it’s more universal than that. It’s inspirational but in a totally non-boring way. ‘Kingdoms’ has plenty of rock sensibility and some darned good guitar riffs. No lie. Jason Poe’s [...]
Review By: Melody Charles Not too long ago, the US East Coast tour of Swing Out Sister became a casualty of an act of nature: a humongous cloud of ash that blanketed Europe and made flight impossible for nearly a month. They had a choice to make: letting the newly-composed arrangements of their best-known hits [...]
COYO: Of Artful Jazz and Native American Flutes We won’t even pretend to be knowledgeable enough to review their music. But we think you should know them…So here’s their bio. Coyo’s magical rhythms of the hand drums, melodic voice of the acoustic guitar and penetrating ethereal callings of the wood flute are captivating audiences young [...]
Inside My Head – Clare Reynolds By: Corbyn Bricie Does the world have any more room for angel voiced songstresses? I certainly hope so because debut album “Inside My Head” by Clare Reynolds is a testament to what a sweet voice can do for your mood and heart. Think Sarah Maclaughlin but a tad bit [...]
