I discovered the perfect way to enjoy this song; you let it loop, and somewhere in the timeline your mind will stop trying to find the “song” and will tumble and fall into the “sounds” instead.
I spent nearly 30 minutes actively replaying the piece (by tapping the replay button every time it ended) while my mind searched for and failed to find words to describe what I was hearing. I eventually got bored of tapping and of searching, so I told the app to loop the song.. And voila!
Fang Su is a fresh face from Bowling Green, Kentucky. He does his own brand of electronic music. Sparse, minimal, melodic, dry, and confusing. This piece, for example, an instrumental that lasts less than two-and-a-half minutes, is just that. The tiny little sections that compose the body of the piece last roughly 30–40 seconds each. The percussion leads the way and plays not-at-all conventional beats that break apart, pop, and jump abruptly all the way through. Nothing arrhythmic, though, just quirky enough to keep the tinny guitars and other effects meaningful and in motion.
A weird little number that I first approached with animosity, and found nothing of value in it to report, only to find it seriously hypnotizing and enjoyable only if you give it time and a chance to take you where it wants to take you… And if you squint real hard, that place might just be a Temple of the Dead.
We all feel angry differently, but when Lupe Dragon gets angry, the best way for her to express that to a person is to put him in a song.
“I Know What You Did” is a song about a tumultuous breakup, in which lies are assured that lies are always deceptive, and memories of what was true in the relationship become unrealistic illusions, leaving only anger to rear its ugly head to control everything.
“I know you’re nothing. And I can’t remember what went wrong… I can’t escape the taste of your lips… But“… a mixture of love, hate, and anger that Lupe Dragon puts into her emo rock, punk, and hip-hop and rap to make her tune.
Lupe Dragon manages to use the music and lyrics well, starting with emo rock guitar in the front of the song, moving to the fast pace of punk, and reaching for hip-hop and rap to freak out at the end.
This song was recorded and produced by Matthew Phillipe of Sterling Sound in Edgewater, New Jersey. “It’s the first song that shows her as an angry person,” says Lupe Dragon. “She didn’t like the person she became when she was angry.” This track will help you express the damage the relationship has done. Add it to your angry list.
From Cork city, Ireland, comes an R&B/Soul band that came from just jamming with friends in the bar to officially go through their own music. “The Art Crimes Band” came out with their new song “Guy Like You” that was released on the 4th of February, 2022.
After having a tough time during COVIDthat had rough restrictions on them to meet up and edit the music, as it was hummed by the vocalist Grace McMahon while they were sitting at the bar back in 2017 and kept swiping through her dating app. looking for the man she would dress up for and meet her expectations, Niall Dennehy said in an interview that later the same night Grace sent a voice message humming and singing some of the lyrics and they started recording this hit song “Guy Like you” that has a soft progressive sound to it.
Grace’s voice is smooth and attractive with the Saxophone played by Gary Baus, the wafting mellow Bass and guitar by Tim O’Leary and Stephen Kirby, sweeping gently fingers on the piano and keyboards, Katie O’Donnell, also, the multi-talented drummer Niall Dennehy, that was assembled perfectly to fit this band’s great musicianship.
This band is going somewhere with these marvelous songs that are in the making, “wants to take it to another arena” Quote by Niall, that is excited after the pandemic to deliver awesome music when they pinned down their genre that suits their vocals and instruments. After creating their album “Radio” in 2015, there was no specific genre they were vibing with, till they got the exact vibe out of being a soulful R&B band.
“If you don’t use your talent it will be taken away from you” John Mayor advised Eric Clapton to encourage him.

It seems that Caleb Cascio gave up being alone “On Mars” with his guitar in 2020, and went down to earth with reassuring words to sing “You’re Not Alone” in 2021, and then this year assures us that life is like “Roller Coaster” and that his life-like sweetheart represents all he needs, her laughs, his whispers and her smiles for him.
Caleb enjoys writing about friendship, love, and social entertainment. “On Mars” was the song about relaxing on Mars with a guitar, and wishing he would be his best friend with him to participate in a space marvel. The song “You’re Not Alone” during quarantine to let his friends know that they are not alone and have a support network with one click or a phone call. The song’s lyrics provided comfort and reassurance at a time when people’s lives were in turmoil.

“Roller Coaster” can sum up Caleb Cascio’s track, by changing the bright tone of his voice, energetic percussion, and different guitar pitches. Caleb’s pop vocals this time drew from the bright layers of dynamically charged instruments behind to feel the rush of love through the thrill of a musical rollercoaster ride.
Caleb created his song based on the ups and downs of acne, breaking many of the songs around the theme of love, and all that comes with it, providing a refined acoustic experience that leans toward the positive aspects of unpredictability in relationships. Rather than the overly bleak sentiments often associated with love-pop songs, “Roller Coaster” is about accepting that there can be ups and downs in love, but don’t let it stop you from expressing that love.
Boston-based singer-songwriter Caleb Cascio is always ready to deliver. His baritone vocals, with a sudden falsetto flair, complement his sentimental ballads and pop ensembles. Try to listen and enjoy with him.
Therése Neaimé, the one who passionately proves that you can live your life to the fullest, here, now. Once again stuns us with her new single entitled “fool’s gold”.
A unique piece on its own starts with a soothing percussive section mixed with some funkie chords giving you the chill-back feeling. A very low tempo makes you feel like you’re tanning on a beach in Hawaii sipping any drink from a coconut, feeling the air of the beach gently touching your face.
This feeling is endorsed when her angelic voice is added to the mix with the right lyrics that touch your heart. Overall, nostalgic and refreshing. Looking forward to listening to more of her pieces in the future.
Do you need a jazzy song to elevate your events? ‘Wijic’ is the one to kick off any formal occasion or black-tie gathering you are hosting. It also fits as part of your ‘chill’, the upbeat playlist you have to work, do chores or just lay back and relax.
The song lasts for over six precious minutes, throughout which we get to enjoy a great range of cheerful rhythms of classic swing jazz.
The composition consists of a quartet headed by Sky Canyon on vibraphone and an A-list of players Justin Adams on piano, Ron Bland on upright bass, and Mike Marlier on drums.
US-based Sky Canyon doesn’t just have a smooth name and a polished taste for music composing. He is a veteran of over 50 years in music: a composer, producer, and artist who creates magic by fusing Jazz, Classical, Latin, Rock, and new age music.
From an early age and after having studied with Jazz vibraphone master Terry Gibbs, Sky has, up to today, produced best-selling albums in the new age genre. However, nowadays is back to his roots, releasing jazz originals and classic standards.
Wijic has definitely won our hearts with its smooth, effortless beat. This is a song that knows how to coordinate different sounds while at the same time allowing for each instrument to stand out.
From beginning to end, this track captivates your attention and unapologetically has you grooving and dancing. It is a song to play on replay, share with fellow Jazz and Swing passionates, and play on repeat whenever you need a pick me up while also feeling all zippy and chic.
DJ H Chimist is an underground producer based in Paris. From the outset, Hip hop and rap music had a profound effect on his work. He has produced several French rap albums, including “MYSTIK & DJ H on the Streets of Marseille” and “H24 on the Ground,” with the participation of Soprano, Mystik, Diam’s, Keny Arkana, LIM, Freeman (IAM), and many more. Since then, he’s worked with several record labels as well as prominent French radio stations. After a brief pause, he resumed his musical career and has since produced instrumentals in a variety of styles (rap, pop, calm, reggaeton, film music…).
Now it’s time to get down to business, all I can say is that it has the impression of fun group production. For one reason, the track’s rhythm and flow are consistent. Based on its airy vocals, lyrics, and dreamy sound effects, it appears to be an ethereal pop tune. Similar to the electro-dream pop anthem of 2011-2014.
The tune also features an atmospheric build-up that develops throughout the song, which is crucial for dream/ethereal/fairy-pop. As for the animation style used in the music video, I think it matches the song wonderfully.
We carry more than we can and let life weigh us down, so we need to take a breather now and then. “Water Table Line” by Daniel Young is a perfect reminder and companion for that break.
Daniel Young has a hand full of talents. The Salt Lake City-based musician has over two decades of experience as a singer-songwriter, guitarist, drummer, sound engineer, and producer. He managed to create a soothing atmosphere with Folk vibes and relatable lyrics in his latest single “Water Table Line.”
For those who feel they can’t catch their breath in life’s hustles and those who can’t know where they’ve headed anymore as there’s no light in the foggy road of their journey, “Water Table Line” speaks to all of you to let you know that:
“Maybe let’s take a little time
Take a little time and unwind
Enough of the runnin around
Try to get your feet on solid ground.”
The lyrics work like a charm to calm your troubled mind and a heavy heart. Right from the first line, “Does it seem you’ve bitten off more than you could chew?” and you nodding, it feels like a warm hug to celebrate coming back home. The acoustic intro gently pats your soul, paving the way for Young’s warm, melodic vocals to enter and win over your heart. Corinne Gentry joins in the chorus with velvety, shiny vocals and harmonizes effortlessly with Young’s. The folk instruments are the final ingredient, completing the magical spell and allowing you to take a deep breath and relax a little. The mellow, relaxing pedal steel guitar notes by Muskrat Jones, the delicate bass lines by Marcus Bently, and the intimate fiddle by Daniel Young are all like a cure.
It’s time to take a break, listen to “Water Table Line” and let it help you exhale your burdens.
Rap was born around the early 70s in New York City…and the rest is literally history.
Rap artists have been taking over the world by storm for years and years.
…and it is evolving.
For me…old school rap will always be an icon in the world of music.
…now, once again, NYC is giving birth to an uprising star in the world of rap…
Sly Spitta.
Sly’s own style is a unique hybrid, an instantly recognizable and iconic mix of old and new school rap. Catchy melodies, pumping beats, cool hooks and of course…he’s got flow.
Sly has recorded his debut album “Rose Up” and today we’re giving it a listen and taking the experience in…
So, let’s get into it.
The album is made up of a staggering amount of 20 songs.
You will definitely get to know the artist, his style, flow, personality and character.
The album is almost broken down to four quarters, each quarter is a different beast with its own character. “Rose Up” is filled with energetic and witty storytelling, it’s raw and it’s hard hitting.
Sly also made his TV debut this year…and he ain’t stopping.
…I completely forgot…the album has a very distinctive approach…it’s told in a sport format, the track names tell a story…so there’s a concept even behind the whole thing.
Starting from the first track…”Tip Off”.
It is literally the tip off of the album, it’s a song, it’s more of an intro…it gives a cinematic depth to the whole experience, like you’re in for a ‘Coach Carter’ kind of movie or something.
The approach is basically two commentators talking about a basketball match…and they’re noticing Sly in that basketball match…
…unto the second track, which is the first actual song, and the titular song “Rose Up”.
The song has a very melodic approach with the chords, playing on guitars.
The song takes its time to kick in the beat…but that actually serves the purpose.
“Rose Up” sets up a high melodic bar for all songs to come…let’s continue and see what happens…
The third track is “Much More”…once again, Sly is interested in having a quality melodic musical track to mix his flow with. The music is completely different this time, with a saxophone and some chants in the background and a more ethnic vibe to it…even Sly’s performance is different, there’s something that feels like he’s channeling a character to talk in his place.
This feels very refreshing.
“AM – PM” is the fourth track…and once again, the vibe is completely different…feels like a lo-fi kinda vibe this time around.
The concept of having different musical approaches is absolutely engaging and keeps you hooked.
Sly’s flow is very flexible, with each song, a different musical approach presents itself…and Sly is always on top of the beat and music and just flows.
Our fifth track is titled “Habits & Contradictions” and its intro feels like you’re getting sucked into an old western film…which is something that I don’t believe has ever happened…a spaghetti western inspired rap song? It’s not in-your-face kind of music…but there’s something very fresh about that song mixture.
Once again, we get back into the cinematic angle of the album…the sixth track is called “Timeout 01”…you get it? And once again, it’s two commentators talking about what’s happening in the story…
…back into the movie…or the album with a movie-like experience…
The seventh track is “Patience”…the bass line on that one…the oomph is strong with this one.
It’s apparent for sure by now that Sly will place the music pretty high on his list of priorities, he’s giving us a solid musical experience.
The eighth track is called “Aspire” and it’s reminiscent of the 70s fiery soul music scene…
Sly is definitely paying tribute to that kind of music…there’s that shimmery keys sound that just glimmering like an old TV show camera that glimmers when it hits a strong light…even the strings…so smooth. Absolutely loving this.
…and of course, the 70s needs a groovy bass line…and yes, it is very present.
This time we found ourselves in the ninth track…which is the kind of timeout cinematic track in the middle…but it’s still using the music from the previous track playing in the background, while the commentators are talking about Sly…
The tenth track is just called “Halftime”…and it’s a darker musical approach this time, the music is more aggressive, the beat has an attitude and aggressiveness to it…strong stuff.
From that mood to a more mellow mood…but still on the dark side of things…
The whole energy is shifted in the eleventh track “$hot Clock”…the beat is completely fresh, the flow is on another level with the backing vocals doing some awesome stuff here.
The vocal performance, apart from the flow, is on another level with this one.
…moving to a more musical approach…the twelfth track “Love Games” I’d say is the most musical song so far…The chord changes are absolutely brilliant…with these 7th chords…so smooth, it feels like you’re taking a rest after a very tense moment.
Some ear candy right there.
…once again, Sly is giving us some old school focused rap performance with track number thirteen called “Ride 4 Me”. It will suck in all old school rap fans out there.
Back to the movie…with track fourteen “Timeout 02”…the commentators are mentioning that Sly will need to continue on…and keep on doing the awesome work…I’ll join my voice to theirs.
“Game Time” is the fifteenth song in the album…and it looks like this quarter of the album is more inspired by old school rap with a unique twist when it comes to Sly’s vocal performance and flow.
“Champaign for Pain” is the sixteenth track in the album and it’s once again is on the old school side of rap.
I believe this move will suck in more fans for Sly than ever…I mean, if you’re into the old school stuff, he got it, if you’re into the new rap, Sly got you covered…if you’re into the beats, yup, they’re here…if you like the melodic hooks that can only be found in the absolute echelon of the rap world…it’s here…this album covers the whole color spectrum.
We’re now into the “4th Quarter”…and that is the title of the seventeenth track…we’re almost at the end of this epic match…album…movie, story…call it what you want, it’s an experience.
“4th Quarter” has some melodic piano melodies that sets it apart from all other songs…it’s dark, with a hint of light…the piano is taking it to another level…Sly never runs out of ideas when it comes to lyrics or flow.
The next track, which is the eighteenth track is called “License to Kill” once again introduces the saxophone with a more dancy beat this time around, the flow is fast and hits like Mohamed Ali got you in a corner.
“End of Regulation” is the second to last track…and it once again takes us back into the movie approach of the album with the commentators mentioning that this is it…the make it or break it moment….
The last song in this epic journey is “OT”…which is short for overtime…so now it’s really the make it or break it moment that was foreshadowed in the previous track…
…and Sly definitely makes it count…
The album is a gem for all rap fans, old and new…this album will unite a lot of fans for sure.
Quality of sounds, mixing and the whole experience is something that was done with love and creativity. Highly recommended to anyone who listens to rap, or anyone who just likes good musical hooks.
We wish all the best in the world to Sly, you deserve it man.
