From the first beat, the song immerses listeners in a vibrant sonic landscape where piercing melodic elements intertwine seamlessly with heavy bas

Virginia’s Mandu Soul delivers a warm, introspective moment with his latest single, “ Friends ,” the third taste of his forthcoming album Entelechy . The track finds its strength in subtlety, blending classic soul and R&B sensibilities with a modern, understated intimacy. “ Friends ” is not a dramatic heartbreak anthem, it is a quiet meditation on connection, memory, and the spaces left behind when relationships shift. The song’s instrumentation leans into a soft jazz infl

On Hide Inside the Moon , The Mortal Prophets lean fully into atmosphere as narrative. Rather than relying on hooks or overt structure, the album builds meaning through tone, pacing, and emotional implication. It is a work that trusts subtlety and is stronger for it. John Beckmann ’s guiding presence is felt everywhere, not as a dominating force but as a steady hand shaping the record’s internal logic. Songs drift, overlap, and recede with dreamlike patience, allowing mood

Listening to Unearthed – Part II feels like being invited into a private moment rather than presented with a finished statement. This is not an album that tries to impress on first contact. It waits. It listens back. It asks for time. BC25 ’s second chapter in the Unearthed series carries the quiet confidence of music that knows exactly what it is and refuses to become anything else. At the heart of the project is an act of care. Producer and writer Barbonus works with unfi

Martin Lloyd Howard ’s latest release, Selene , is a captivating exploration of solo classical guitar, an intimate and evocative piece set in the uncommon key of G minor. Drawing inspiration from a moonscape painted by his wife, Howard channels the pale, shifting light of moonlight into a delicate and nuanced musical narrative. The composition moves with a natural grace, conjuring images of clouds skimming across a quiet night sky, while the warm, crystalline tones of Howar

Listening to Infinity Fall I feels like stepping into a space where control and collapse are constantly negotiating with each other. Aleph ’s Watch Me Die Inside project does not rush to make an impression. Instead, it invites patience, rewarding listeners who stay with its shifting moods and uneasy pacing. Across three tracks, the EP builds a world that is heavy without being blunt and emotional without being exposed. The title track sets the tone through gradual immersion

San Francisco-based artist Michellar returns to the music world with her compelling original album, REVERIE ....FROM THEN TILL NOW , released January 2, 2026. After decades away from songwriting, Michellar ’s reemergence is nothing short of remarkable, an artistic rebirth fueled by years of personal and professional growth.

There’s a quiet confidence running through GIOMANÈ , the fifth album from Swiss guitarist and composer GIANFRANCO GFN . Released on June 6, 2025, the record doesn’t rush to impress. Instead, it settles into its own rhythm, inviting the listener to slow down and step inside a musical world shaped by groove, experience, and instinct. Built around thirteen tracks, GIOMANÈ feels like a journey through scenes rather than songs. Moments of warmth, reflection, and subtle intensity

Nevik Wright ’s “ Call Me (When You Lonely) ” lands with a quiet confidence that speaks louder than spectacle. Rather than leaning on grand gestures, the record thrives on emotional clarity, presenting connection as something simple, human, and deeply necessary. It is a song that understands the weight of silence and answers it with warmth. Released on August 21, 2025, the single plays a key role in the broader emotional architecture of Wright ’s 7 Gods album. The track fe

War Against Reality does not announce itself. It intrudes. The debut EP from Barcelona based project K6R6NZ6N feels less like a collection of songs and more like a sustained psychological disturbance, one that unfolds with intention, discipline, and a near surgical disregard for comfort. From the first moments, it is clear this is not a record interested in narrative resolution or genre loyalty. Instead, it operates as a controlled fracture, pressing dark electronics, witch

There is a temptation, when reviewing a jazz vocal album built around everyday observations, to mistake familiarity for safety. Amazing, Awful, Ordinary Life avoids that trap not by reinventing the genre, but by committing fully to perspective. Crooner Ed is not interested in playing timeless for its own sake. He is interested in sounding present, grounded in middle age experience and the quiet absurdities that accumulate over time. The album’s strongest quality is restrain

There’s a weight to a breath. There’s a story in a bruise. Stephanie Happening ’s Breathing Bruised feels like both at once, fragile, intimate, and undeniably real. From the opening seconds, the song pulls you into a space where pain is not hidden but acknowledged, transformed into presence and rhythm. It is a track that does not ask for sympathy; it demands attention, listening, and reflection, offering a rare glimpse into survival as a lived, breathing act. The track’s pro
