Cakvero – ‘Black Rain’ – @Skopemag
“Hey! I’m Calvero (my real name is Gabe Liebowitz) and I make pop music! I’m a songwriter (I’ve also co-written nine songs with pop duo Terror Jr including four of their singles), a singer, and a producer. I’ve also been known to get into heated arguments on Tik Tok with people over whether or not Pink Floyd is prog (I don’t think they are…)
My earlier singles were pretty indebted to ‘80s pop & arena rock, Springsteen, Meat Loaf, a lil’ Celine Dion, among others. I had a song with guest vocals from Chicago group Ohmme, too!”

Lucid Phase Releases New Summer Single “Wind Is Gone”
“‘Wind is Gone’ highlights the evolution of good listening. The song is about observation and being strong with less to say and more to show while enjoying good times and reflection.

It’s about taking a step back, enjoying the journey, sifting through all the nonsense and being comfortable with what you have, like the people in your life which you share your time with.” – Lucid Phase

SKYLER DAY ANNOUNCES SELF-PRODUCED THIRD EP SONGS FROM THE GREENHOUSE, DUE SEPT. 3
Singer/songwriter Skyler Day announced her third EP Songs from The Greenhouse today, set to release Friday, September 3. The announcement was paired with the release of the EP’s debut single “The Best Worst Thing.” Listen to the track .
The five-song EP was written, recorded, and produced entirely by Day from her LA home during the pandemic. Since the idea of working with a producer via Zoom felt too impersonal, Day decided she would produce the EP herself. She transformed the rotting shed in her backyard into a tiny music studio and got to work studying and creating. She turned to her social media followers for help naming the studio, and an unexpected fan, Dashboard Confessional’s Chris Carrabba, recommended she call it The Greenhouse, because, well, every inch on the inside is painted green.
