Last year, Michael McArthur caught the attention of Grammy Award winning Producer, David Bianco (Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Lucinda Williams, Citizen Cope) who teamed up with the singer to produce his debut album, Magnolia. The rousing title track “Magnolia” is the album’s first release and I can’t wait to hear Continue Reading

Florence + The Machine – What Kind Of Man (Video)
Following 2011’s Lungs, Florence + The Machine is back with her third studio album How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful. The video for new single “What Kind Of Man” is a bit like a short film and it follows from where the weird video for title track “How Big How Blue Continue Reading

Dawn Landes – Atlantic City (feat. Jim James)
I am far from being an avid listener of Bruce Springsteen’s music, but Dawn Landes’ take on his 80’s classic “Atlantic City” is utterly amazing. Dawn’s version of the song is a cooler, more laid back, Country sounding affair than Bruce’s original and is harder to not like than it is Continue Reading
Allyson Ezell – Landmine (Video)
Music videos are certainly not everything but having a good one helps. Unfortunately that’s not the case for American-French singer Allyson Ezell’s “Landmine”. The video is rather strange, with little or non of it making sense. Gladly though the music is better, Allyson Ezell’s debut single “Landmine” is a brilliant bit Continue Reading

Violet has developed her own sound over the years and “Liar” is just the latest addition to the Welsh singer’s catalogue which I hope will include a solo album before long. “Liar” is Continue Reading
