Pop-Rock Rebellion with a Heartbeat of Youthful Longing
EJ’s latest single, “Fancy Car,” tears down the boulevard of modern pop-rock with its engine roaring, a youthful cry of love, rejection, and desperation burning in its exhaust. Set to drop May 23 as part of The Storm, the second chapter in his conceptual trilogy, the Orlando-based singer-songwriter delivers an infectious, emotionally charged anthem that captures the anxiety of not feeling good enough in a world obsessed with appearances.
The track opens with a lyrical gut-punch:
“All of my life / I’ve been waiting / all alone like a loaded gun.”
It’s a vivid start, full of tension and yearning, setting the stage for a story of heartbreak wrapped in adrenaline. There’s an urgency that pulses throughout the song, reinforced by a driving beat and sharp guitar licks that pull heavily from ’80s rock tradition — think John Hughes-era teen angst with a modern production polish. The result is a track that feels both nostalgic and current, a radio-ready catharsis for a generation raised on contradictions.
At its heart, “Fancy Car” is a love song filtered through insecurity and disillusionment. The chorus — catchy enough to echo in your head for days — hints at fantasy as both escape and illusion:
“Oh maybe she’ll want me / if we steal a fancy car / and maybe she’ll love me / if I give her everything that she wants.”
https://open.spotify.com/track/4cQPmBMQ1Cs10RJtWSmck5
EJ’s lyrics hit a nerve, portraying a love that feels transactional and fragile, wrapped in consumerist longing and self-erasure. There’s a resigned sadness when he sings,
“I’m a zombie and I’m waiting downstairs,”
conjuring the image of a man who’s lost himself entirely in the pursuit of someone else’s affection.
It’s this emotional vulnerability that gives the song its power — but let’s not overlook the musicianship. The guitar solo, a soaring, electrifying burst of fretwork glory, feels like a love letter to the glam and grit of the 1980s. It’s not just a solo; it’s a statement — EJ reminding us that rock and roll isn’t dead, it’s just evolving.
As the second single from The Storm, “Fancy Car” acts as a thematic cornerstone for EJ’s evolving trilogy, which began with 2023’s The Fantasy and will culminate in the upcoming full-length The Aftermath. The narrative arc across these releases traces the collision of idealism and reality — a reflection of EJ’s own journey through heartbreak, mental health struggles, and the pressures of living up to curated expectations.
EJ, who got his start playing the Whisky A Go Go at 14 alongside Guns N’ Roses keyboardist Dizzy Reed, has come a long way from his early recordings at the legendary Studio 606. But the heart of that teenager still beats under the gloss: emotional, raw, and chasing meaning in a chaotic world.
“Fancy Car” is more than just a single — it’s a snapshot of a soul searching for authenticity in a world of façades. And as EJ hurtles through empty streets calling out a lover’s name, you can’t help but root for him — loud, haunted, and heartbreakingly human.

Charts Topping ‘I Know You Rider’ by Les Fradkin
The prolific multi-instrumentalist Les Fradkin returns to center stage in 2025 with an invigorating rendition of “I Know You Rider” by Grateful Dead. This cover breathes new life into a timeless American folk song, offering a masterful blend of reverence and innovation.
Originally a mild traditional blues tune, “I Know You Rider” was once a fan-favorite track by the Grateful Dead, who frequently paired it with “China Cat Sunflower” in their live performances, creating a seamless transition that became a hallmark of their concerts.
– https://www.reverbnation.com/lesfradkin/song/34962474-i-know-you-rider
– https://lesfradkin1.bandcamp.com/track/i-know-you-rider
Fradkin, a seasoned musician known for his work on the original Beatlemania Broadway show and his pioneering use of the Starr Labs Ztar MIDI guitar, infuses the track with a rich tapestry of sounds.
This version stands out for its electrifying Hallmark 12-string guitar tones, reminiscent of Led Zeppelin’s hard rock tracks from the 70s. Ever the innovator, Fradkin crafts a fusion of progressive rock elements with classic folk sounds, creating an arrangement that is both lush and dynamic.
The rocking energy of this track changes up the lyrical interpretation entirely. It switches from a melancholy tune lamenting the loss of love to a more energetic and optimistic song that highlights the closing lines “The sun will shine in my back door someday/March winds will blow all my troubles away.”
This subtle variation perfectly showcases Fradkin’s ability to honor the song’s roots while introducing contemporary nuances and transforming it into a work of his own.
While Fradkin’s interpretation has no lack of emotional depth, the standout part of this track is his technical prowess. The masterful use of the 12-string to drive his storytelling while preserving the song’s country-folk sound reveals that the man behind the music is no ordinary performer.
Fradkin’s version of “I Know You Rider” not only pays homage to the song’s storied past but also reinvigorates it for a new generation of listeners. His innovative approach and deep respect for the original material result in a rendition that is both familiar and refreshingly new.

Van of Urantia Present ‘A Kind Hello’
While Van of Urantia’s spiritual leadership and activism is admirable on its own, you don’t need to agree with him to appreciate his music. “A Kind Hello” may be wrapped in simplicity, but beneath its gentle surface lies a profound emotional and spiritual core.
Much like the best of singer-songwriter storytelling, this track doesn’t need to shout. It speaks in calm, deliberate tones that linger long after the last note fades.
The song opens with a stripped-back acoustic guitar that sets the foundation, joined gradually by light percussion and soft vocal harmonies. There’s an organic, almost pastoral feel to the instrumentation that immediately sets the listener at ease, ready to accept its message.
Then Van steps in with lyrics that feel as personal as a handwritten letter.
“When you see my lips smile
but my eyes, they are so sad
I’d sure appreciate a kind hello,”
He sings, and just like that, the emotional current is set. The line is disarming in its honesty. It gently exposes the discontent so many of us carry; the mask of composure worn over hidden sorrow.
This song acknowledges loneliness without being critical, letting us know that it’s an inescapable part of the human condition. Lines like “When you see me lonely, and I’m standing in a crowd” or “When you see me reading, and the book is upside down” are rich with poetic sadness, sketching out images of internal struggle hiding in plain sight.
The chorus pivots from observation to reassurance.
“Please just remind me that I’ve got another friend
And He feels the sadness that I know,”
Van sings, bridging human compassion with spiritual comfort. It’s a theological touchpoint that doesn’t preach but offers a thread connecting earthly kindness to divine empathy. The line, “The more we give away, the more it grows,” elevates kindness from a nice gesture to a spiritual principle, echoing the idea that generosity of heart multiplies in return.
Musically, the track respects the power of its message. The instrumentation stays minimal and warm, allowing the lyrics to lead without distraction. Backing harmonies echo the repeated “hello, hello,” creating a gentle wave that cradles the song’s sentiment, like someone responding, finally, to the call for connection.
Van’s vocal delivery takes on a confessional tone, sounding like someone who’s lived every line. There’s a vulnerability in his tone that resonates with all the lonely souls out there.
With “A Kind Hello,” Van of Urantia has crafted a deeply human piece that is not flashy, not trendy, but true. It’s a call to remember the strangers among us, and the sacred power in something as small as saying hello.

“Single of the Year” by Maddye Trew is Here!
Let’s get this out of the way: I’m not a country guy. I didn’t grow up on it, I don’t own boots, and the closest I’ve come to a honky-tonk was accidentally walking into a Garth Brooks night in Nashville while looking for a punk show. So when someone handed me Maddye Trew’s latest single, “Single of the Year,” I rolled my eyes and prepared for three minutes of saccharine twang and rhinestone-studded cliché.
URL: https://www.maddyetrew.com/
Instead, I got a song that made me laugh—with it, not at it—and more than that, made me listen twice.
Trew, a Memphis-born singer-songwriter, leans hard into the storytelling tradition of country, but with a pop-savvy wink that’s tough to ignore. The premise is simple: everyone around her is getting married, and she’s left clutching a can of cheap beer and a consolation prize for surviving the dating game. But the way she phrases it is what sells it. “All my friends are tying the knot / and I’m over here just tying one on.” Now that’s a line.
There’s a dry, almost Dolly Parton-level wit at work here, mixed with the modern breeziness of someone like Kacey Musgraves—but with a bit more edge. Trew doesn’t sound jaded so much as bemused, tired of trying, and not afraid to make fun of herself in the process. It’s that humility, wrapped in sharp songwriting, that makes “Single of the Year” work for a crank like me.
Musically? Sure, it’s still country. Clean Nashville production. A twangy guitar tone that feels just a little too polished. Background vocals placed like throw pillows on a showroom couch. Steve Marcantonio—who’s worked with everyone from Taylor Swift to Keith Urban—is behind the boards here, and it shows. Everything is crisp, professional, and radio-ready. Maybe too ready. Part of me wishes the edges were a little rougher, a little more barroom than boardroom.
But then again, the polish works in contrast with the subject matter. Trew’s not trying to be outlaw country or dive-bar Americana. She’s a 20-something woman with a Commercial Music degree and a sense of humor about the garbage fire that is modern dating. And she’s not pretending otherwise. That’s refreshing.
https://open.spotify.com/album/6Zt2sKzF0bvntQIEitizp5
Where the song stumbles, if at all, is in the second half—once the hook is firmly planted, it doesn’t do much evolving. The bridge—“this is one award I wasn’t expectin’ / to tell you the truth, I don’t wanna accept it”—feels like the emotional moment the song earns, but it passes quickly, a sigh rather than a breakdown. I wanted just a touch more grit, more insight into what it feels like to win this unwanted trophy.
But maybe that’s the point. Trew’s not drowning in loneliness—she’s raising a toast to it. “Single of the Year” isn’t about wallowing, it’s about laughing through the awkward wedding invites and plus-one pity. It’s a celebration of being the last one standing, even if you didn’t plan to be.
For someone who still prefers guitars distorted and lyrics shouted, I’ll admit this song caught me off guard. It’s clever, it’s tight, and it wears its heartache with a wink. Maddye Trew may not convert me into a full-time country fan, but I’ll raise a Blue Ribbon to this one.

Circus Mind Presents “The Battle of Brooklyn”
Circus Mind’s experimental music style is always a treat for funk-rock fans, but their latest single, “The Battle of Brooklyn” turns their experimental style up a notch. This song follows a fascinating concept of blending history with contemporary social commentary, with a groove that you cannot help vibing to.
The single starts off with a reflection on the titular 1776 battle from the American revolutionary war, setting the imagery with the hopelessness that the continental army felt against the British forces.
The unorthodox approach taken in the first half of The Battle of Brooklyn is just classic Circus Mind, with gunshots, neighing horses, and frontman Mark Rechler’s cries of “Fall back!” and “Everybody charge!”
Saxophone, synth, and guitar blend in an intriguing interlude, setting up the next movement of the song. Even though they don’t believe in musical norms, Circus Mind understands the audience, and their experience shines through in the pacing of this track.
Rechler’s raspy vocals pull you back into the narrative and shift the scenery to draw a poignant parallel between the 1776 Revolutionary War battle and the modern-day struggles of gentrification in Brooklyn.
With vivid imagery such as “all his neighbors moving away” and “the bodega’s turned into a hipster coffee place,” Circus mind hits hard at Brooklyn’s changing landscape, and how the city’s native culture is being replaced by the uniformity of the middle class that’s moving in.
Steven Finklestein’s percussion and Dylan Niederauer’s relentless bassline do a lot of heavy lifting, keeping the tension throughout this track and adding depth to the colorful yet gritty funk-rock sound.
https://linktr.ee/circusmindband
Musically, The Battle of Brooklyn showcases Circus Mind’s adeptness at blending infectious grooves with thought-provoking themes. The jazzy notes underscore the connection between past and present, serving as both a tribute to Brooklyn’s resilience and a wake-up call about its evolving identity.
In The Battle of Brooklyn, Circus Mind delivers a powerful statement on identity, place, and resilience, reminding listeners of the enduring echoes of history in the ever-changing landscape of New York City.
VANDERWOLF Presents “F**KWITT MCGEE”
Los Angeles-based genre-melder Max Vanderwolf returns with a ferocious new single, F*ckwitt McGee, the fourth release in his ongoing 2025 Singles Club. Part philosophical satire, part musical experiment, this track is a wild, unfiltered burst of rhythmic wit and that will make you dance, laugh, and wince in equal measure.
From the very first beat, F*ckwitt McGee explodes with a percussive energy that borders on manic. Driven by a frenzied merengue drum pattern, the song barrels forward with a gleeful recklessness, reflecting the chaotic persona of its title character.
Vanderwolf builds on this foundation with twitchy guitar lines, vintage keyboard textures, and a propulsive bass—each part adding to the madness with surgical precision.
But it’s the kazoo solo—yes, kazoo—that truly defines this track. Delivered by Vanderwolf himself, it’s absurd, unexpected,and somehow completely brilliant. Like the character it’s named for, it shouldn’t work. And yet, it does.
https://vanderwolf.fanlink.tv/fwitt-mcgee
Website: https://vanderwolfmusic.com
Lyrically, Vanderwolf is at his sharpest. F*ckwitt McGee is a biting portrait of a well-meaning but dangerously oblivious figure—a “universal man” who trips through life, trampling over people, cities, and civilizations with cheerful incompetence. Whether he’s locking his keys in the car or accidentally launching nuclear missiles, McGee’s trail of destruction is as tragic as it is comical.
“Living in the UK,” Vanderwolf explains, “you quickly learn all the wonderfully disparaging terms: ‘chancer’, ‘wanker’, ‘knob’…and of course ‘fuckwitt’.” The name “McGee” comes from Kris Kristofferson’s “Bobby McGee,” adding an ironic Americana twist to this British-flavored roast.
Born in New York City, shaped by London’s underground, and now residing in L.A., Vanderwolf’s life reads like a music-world epic. From fronting the cult-favorite Last Man Standing to producing concerts for David Bowie and Patti Smith, he’s spent decades crafting and curating remarkable sound.
With F*ckwitt McGee, Vanderwolf steps back into the spotlight—not with a whisper, but with a scream, a smirk, and a kazoo.
This single isn’t just a song; it’s a riotous reminder that genius and foolishness often share the same stage. Vanderwolf invites us to recognize the McGee in all of us and laugh before we walk into another wall.

Lindsay Jordan Presents “Trace the Moon”
New Jersey-based Lindsay Jordan’s latest single, “Trace the Moon,” is a deeply personal alt-rock track that shines with a poetic elegance and haunting beauty.
Released ahead of her upcoming EP of the same name, this track represents the very best of the alt-rock genre with its powerful vocals and instrumentation.
The opening verse is characteristic of Lindsay’s emotionally vulnerable and honest songwriting style, diving right into her feelings of anxiety and reliance on another for support.
My mind never slows down
it’s always awake
So what if I use just to be ok
And what if every second without you’s
A waste of time
Maybe I use it for peace of mind
Jordan confronts the emotional strain of overthinking with a disarmingly honest confession that sets the tone for a song steeped in self-reflection.
What we like about Lindsay’s writing is that she never shies away from tackling troubling, and even dark, themes in her work. The second verse does exactly this, kicking off with a powerful metaphor of how trauma can mature a child beyond her years.
I told you a story of a little girl
Searching to find a friend in this world
She was 30 years old the day she was born
But she’s picking up confidence every day
Finally learning to be ok
She puts down the gun writes a song
As the story unfolds, Jordan reveals that she was not static in her suffering. The girl puts down her gun, rejecting her thoughts of self-harm and signalling a turn toward healing through creativity and self-acceptance.
– https://skopemag.com/2025/05/11/lindsay-jordan-releases-dreamy-new-single-trace-the-moon
Built around glistening guitars and gently pulsing percussion, “Trace the Moon” feels like a slow-motion dream that is soft, hypnotic, and emotionally immersive. Jordan’s voice is fragile yet resolute, perfectly balancing vulnerability with strength.
The chorus, with its recurring question: “What if we just never leave? / Stay until the moon falls asleep” is where the emotional and sonic dreaminess converge. The moon becomes a symbol of her desire for a permanence and comfort in an emotional connection.
“Trace the Moon” is no simple story, it invites listeners into a shared emotional space, where healing and hope are paramount. Jordan’s songwriting is not afraid to dwell in discomfort, but it always gestures toward the possibility of love that accepts without demanding change.
After listening to this single, it’s clear that Lindsay is shaping up to be a vital voice in indie music; someone capable of turning personal pain into something transcendent. We can’t wait to see what she’ll share with us next on her upcoming 4-track EP.

Brooke Moriber Presents “I Still Need You”
Nashville-based country artist Brooke Moriber’s latest single, “I Still Need You” is a moving tribute to motherhood released just in time for Mother’s Day. This catchy ballad combines country and pop-rock to deliver a moving and emotionally honest message that captures the enduring yet complicated bond between mothers and daughters.
The influence of Brooke’s renowned co-writers, Jay Knowles and Alicia Witt, is evident right from the opening verse, as the song paints a picture of quiet vulnerability.
“Last night I couldn’t sleep
Turned on the light at a quarter to three
In a hotel room with nothing but a bible to read.”
This lonely, transient setting immediately places the listener in Brooke’s shoes, being on the road for her concert tours, yet yearning for comfort and familiarity. The lonely setting makes the following confession all the more poignant:
“Wanted to call you but
I knew I’d wake you up
And when you worry too much
You cling too hard”
If there was ever a way to capture the complexity of adult child-parent relationships, this is it right here. How does a mother strike the balance between making her daughter feel loved while giving her enough space to still feel like an independent adult?
Brooke’s soft yet affectionate tone fits her opening verse perfectly while also hiding the vibrant vocals she’s capable of producing for the right moment. The emotional heart of this song is the chorus, where Brooke pours her soul out, blending remorse, appreciation and most importantly, love.
“I still need you
Mama when I push away
I don’t mean to
I just need to make my own mistakes…”
This is where Moriber’s vocal strength and lyrical sincerity shine brightest. The chorus doesn’t just acknowledge the pain of separation—it redeems it. It reframes emotional distance not as rejection but as a step in becoming the woman her mother raised her to be.
The recurring line of “I Still Need You” is what makes the track so resonant. It’s not a song about idolizing motherhood or romanticizing childhood. Instead, it honors the mother-daughter bond as something that matures and deepens with time, even as roles evolve.
Musically, the song pairs its intimate lyrics with warm, cinematic production. The country-leaning acoustic arrangement supports the vulnerability in Moriber’s voice without overwhelming it, and the pop-rock groove keeps it firmly out of sappy territory.
I Still Need You is not just another Mother’s Day single. It’s an anthem for anyone who has ever tried to stand on their own while still yearning for the arms that first held them. Brooke Moriber delivers a powerful testament to maternal influence and the longing for connection—even when miles apart.

Track three, “Fusion Flower”, by Wayne Shorter supplies superb instrumentation and a smooth performance overall. Enjoy this wild ride as you fully breathe in “Fusion Flower”, which appears to be the perfect batch of musicality. Next, roll up those “5 Sleeves” and don’t look back! With a sturdy beat and catchy melody, “5 Sleeves” offers much depth musically that will captivate you. On the following number, “Senor Blues” by Horace Silver, piercing vocals adds a new layer of sincerity to the mix. I’m really feeling “Senor Blues” and everything that this song has to offer. It’s time to embrace an ear-catching style that instantly connects with the audience on “Moanin” (Bobby Timmons). You are hooked in right from the first note on “Moanin” where the listener will receive an infectious rhythm and fantastic solos. “Naima’s Bossa” by John Coltrane is up next and what you get is a classy touch and pure elegance. “Naima’s Bossa” is musically refined and brilliantly orchestrated as this composition sails along effortlessly. “Little Sunflower” by Freddie Hubbard is fully blooming with a wide array of vibrant colors and textures in place. Prepare to drink in “Lush Life” (Billy Strayhorn) that is one passionate & power-packed performance. Punch drunk love is in the air on “Lush Life”, so remember to responsibly consume this song and feel good from head to toe. A big, bright sound fills the airwaves on “Confirmation” by Charlie Parker. The Reddish Fetish with the Jersey City All Stars is all jazzed UP and raring to GO on “Confirmation”. We end on a high note with a composition by Jason Reddish titled “Shango Can Fly”. An intriguing beat & melody combined with a mysterious tone leaves you with a sense of sheer wonder on “Shango Can Fly”. The quintessential musical storm blows you away with a whirlwind of solid notes on “Shango Can Fly”.

The Ram Present ‘I Am Nowhere, I Am Everywhere’
Country-blues artist Mark “The Ram” O’Donnell, delivers a deeply personal and evocative journey in his latest album, I Am Nowhere, I Am Everywhere. Recorded live with his band in Carlsbad, California, this eight-track collection weaves together themes of memory, love, and the passage of time, all underscored by O’Donnell’s signature blend of Americana and blues-rock.
The album opens with Listen to the Cold, a serious track that explores childhood memories and the emotional weight of coming back home. O’Donnell’s lyrics paint a vivid picture of leaving home in his youth and returning to honor the memory of his father.
This song’s blues-rock music coupled with its reflective nature transports listeners into a world where personal history meets polished musicianship. With such a strong opening track, you know the rest is bound to be good.
The Moon’s Loving Light switches up themes with an ode to youthful adventure. Filled with music, merrymaking and companionship, this track is sure to strike some nostalgic chords in the heart of anyone who’s enjoyed the magic of late-night escapades. Ram’s retro-style guitar riffs and evocative imagery takes you back to a time of carefree joy and discovery.
Sonic landscapes change once again with Love Is a Terrible Thing to Waste, with a playful accompaniment complete with swinging jazzy undertones. O’Donnell shifts his narrative from the countryside to the vibrant nightlife of the big city to explore feelings of loneliness and the urban quest for companionship.
With each track, The Ram demonstrates their range of musical talent and lived experiences. Genres change from one song to the next, just like the story being told. While the blues-Americana vibe stays constant throughout the album, each track feels fresh and can hold its own as a single.
The album’s centerpiece, “Everything,” stands out with its comforting refrain, “everything transforms into something beautiful.” This track encapsulates the album’s overarching message of growth, change, and the beauty found in life’s transitions.
Closing with “Warmth of the Fire,” O’Donnell delivers a soulful homage to his roots, highlighting farmers as the backbone of our society. The Ram masterfully conveys the enduring strength found in shared experiences, rounding out the album’s exploration of life’s complexities.
I Am Nowhere, I Am Everywhere is a testament to The Ram’s artistry, blending poetic songwriting with rich musical backdrops. Each track offers a window into O’Donnell’s world, inviting listeners to reflect on their own journeys filled with companionship, loss, and self-discovery.

Ranzel X Kendrick Presents New EP ‘Texas Time Warp’
Country and Americana artist Ranzel X Kendrick, also known by his indie rock alter ego Alias Wayne, is one of the most prolific artists I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing recently. With 6 album releases since 2020, Ranzel is on a hot streak and shows no signs of slowing down with his upcoming EP, Texas Time Warp.
Though he’s currently based in Costa Rica, Ranzel X Kendrick’s work is undeniably American at heart. The opening track, Ten Speed Blues is all about the reality of being a single lonely man. The motif of riding about in circles on his old ten-speed bicycle aligns perfectly with the aimlessness of dating when you’re young.
Set against a musical backdrop of gentle acoustic guitars and harmonicas, this track is sure to evoke some nostalgia if you were born and raised out in the West.
With Backpacking Ranzel infuses elements of blues and rock into his music with the bass and electric guitar, while still preserving some of that country sound. This blend of genres fits in perfectly with the song’s lyrical themes of freedom and exploration, enriching the musical experience.
I really liked how Ranzel returned back to a traditional country sound with Lighthearted, Happy and High. It’s a song that yearns for simpler times that have been replaced with high-rise buildings and city lights. Once again, Ranzel demonstrates his expertise as an artist by perfectly blending his lyrics with musical elements that stir the same emotions.
The concept behind this EP becomes evident when you hear Where My Treasure Is, a gentle duet that is perfect for easy listening. Ranzel switches up genres and messaging yet to go for a sombre and introspective piece on cherishing true love.
Even though they differ in their subjects, every track on Texas Time Warp is bound together by the recurring idea of memory and the past. Reminisce is the cherry on top for this EP as it dives into the universal experience of old friends gathering ‘round to reminisce their shared past.
Even though the title may not suggest it, Texas Time Warp is one of those albums that makes you fall into a reverie. For the span of these five tracks, you’re immersed in Ranzel’s world as he takes you on a journey through loneliness, love, and nostalgia. With its poetic songwriting and immaculate production, this upcoming EP has the potential to be Ranzel’s best work yet.

Chrissy Johnson New Album ‘Shake Where You’re Steady’ Out July 18th, 2025
Nearly a decade after her acclaimed debut album Arms of July, singer-songwriter Chrissy Johnson is back in the spotlight—Shake Where You’re Steady is her long-awaited second album, and it’s everything fans of Johnson’s heartfelt, lyrically rich music could have hoped for.
This 12-track collection was born out of Chrissy’s cumulative struggles during and after the pandemic, and explores the themes of heartbreak, healing, and hope. This emotional rollercoaster comes wrapped up in an unassuming warm folk-pop sound that somehow feels both fresh and timeless.
The album kicks off with Greatest Abandon, a confident rhythm-driven opener that sets the tone for what’s to come. The yearning to love with abandon, feeling your heart jump out of your chest is a feeling that we can all relate to. This track feels like liberation set to music—an anthem for anyone who’s ever taken a deep breath, let go, and stepped forward into the unknown.
In the Meantime, was another upbeat track that caught my attention thanks to its infectious beat infused with elements of jazz. Chrissy shows that she’s not all about one genre, and her maturity as an artist really shines through on this track.
It’s worth mentioning that the production, helmed by Steve Dawson at Kernel Sound Emporium, is absolutely top-tier. The instrumentation never overshadows
Chrissy’s voice; instead, it lifts her storytelling, weaving in pop, folk, and soft rock to create something that feels handcrafted for each lyric.
Johnson’s writing on this album is also noteworthy. Even though her lyrics are sharp and poetic they don’t feel overly cerebral, letting you enjoy the music while still landing the message with perfection. You get the sense Chrissy isn’t just writing songs; she’s working through something, and we’re lucky enough to listen in.
But the standout track for me was Falling, which features the titular line “Shake when you’re steady.” There’s something about Chrissy’s expression of vulnerability and infatuation here that just hits home. Her voice carries a sweet honesty that you just can’t help liking.
By the time we hit the closing track Pretty Little Heart, it feels like we’ve been on a journey. It’s soft, it’s simple, and it leaves you with the kind of calm that only comes after a storm.
Shake Where You’re Steady isn’t just a comeback—it’s a statement. Chrissy Johnson proves that she hasn’t just held onto the lyrical strength and soulful honesty of her debut; she’s built on it. I’ll definitely be keeping this one in rotation, and can’t wait to see what Chrissy does next.

DownTown Mystic Presents The Album ‘The Wish’
If you’re a classic rock fan, this album we’re about to discuss is made for you. veteran American rocker Robert Allen’s ongoing musical project, Downtown Mystic, returns to the roots of rock n’ roll with their latest release, The Wish.
This 12-track album that blends classic rock with a modern, soulful touch. Each track is packed with emotional songwriting, nostalgic tunes, and polished craftsmanship.
https://open.spotify.com/album/4pxK7bYvtKkYiWQp1Q93ND
The album kicks off with the title track The Wish, a classic rock ballad that pays homage to the work of artists like Bruce Springsteen and Bryan Adams. With its dreamy instrumentation and slow-burn vocals, it feels like a long walk down memory lane.
The rhythm and percussion sections on this track are done immaculately, thanks to the work of veteran drummer Steve Holley and guitarists Gary Tallent and Max Weinberg. The musicianship on the opening track perfectly sets the tone for what’s yet to come.
1) The Wish 3:56
2) One Step Closer 2:57
3) Better Day 3:19
4) One More Chance 4:35
5) Shade of White 2:37
6) Tomorrow’s Clown 3:17
7) Love Light 3:58
8) History 2:50
9) Modern Ways 3:13
10) Some Day 5:13
11) Lost and Found (Bonus Track) 3:24
12) Read The Signs (Bonus Track) 4:01
But the cool thing about this album is its unpredictability. The second track, One Step Closer, immediately switches genres to an 80s pop-rock vibe. Each step of the way, you find new layers of Downtown Mystic’s creativity as they span the subgenres of rock n’ roll.
But the track that really caught my attention was Shade of White, which could’ve easily passed as an Elvis hit in the late 60s. The swinging guitar riffs transport you to the golden days of rock n’ roll, making for a truly nostalgic experience.
The album’s strength lies in its emotional range. Love Light is sunny and optimistic, while tracks like Tomorrow’s Clown dig deeper, carrying the kind of emotional weight that leaves you thinking long after the last note fades.
Some albums feel like a collection of good songs, but The Wish feels like a story. It’s clear that Downtown Mystic isn’t just writing music—Allen is reflecting on life, love, and everything in between. The instrumentation is crisp, the lyrics are thoughtful without being preachy, and the production has that warm vibe that’s hard to fake.
Whether you’re a fan of Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones, or just rock music with a heart, this album delivers. The Wish might be steeped in retro influences, but it’s not stuck in the past. It brings a timeless quality that feels surprisingly rare these days.

Stephen Jacques Presents ‘Native American Sweetness’
The language of music transcends race, nationality, and language, serving as a powerful tool that can bridge cultures. While there’s still a long way to go to make amends, Stephen Jacques’ Native American Sweetness is a touching apology to the Native Americans who lost their lives and land to colonialism.
With his thirteenth studio album Pioneers and Fragrant Flowers, Stephen Jacques transports the listener to the American frontier era. While Stephen is no stranger to experimentation, this album is a significant step out of his comfort zone and pushes the limits of expression in the alt-rock genre.
STREAMING: (Bandcamp)
https://boxofmoxie.bandcamp.com/track/native-american-sweetness
Native American Sweetness is the most touching and emotional song on this album, and begins with praise for the beautiful Native American land, complete with golden corn fields and blue skies before “the white man slowly took the land”.
The soaring chorus decrying the industrialization and greed that followed the settlements is filled with both passion and powerful musicianship. The harmonies formed by Stephen’s gravelly tenor together with Jennifer Hall on backing vocals adds an intensity to the song that is fitting of its subject matter.
Stephen does not hold anything back with his songwriting on this track, opting to speak directly instead of sugarcoating the reality of the frontier. He lashes out at the cowards, fools, and greed that decimated the local civilization. Even though he doesn’t tell a story, the picture painted with his hard-hitting lyrics carries imagery as strong as any tale.
The lyricism of Native American Sweetness is perfectly complemented by Stephen’s composition. The track contains two beautifully melodious guitar solos that serve as an outro to the emotionally heavy chorus. Meanwhile, the verses are supported by soothing guitar accompaniments that set the vibe of the American wild west.

Native American Sweetness is the kind of track that only an artist of Stephen Jacques’ maturity could have pulled off. It is sad while it is beautiful. It is apologetic while being honest. And while its message is political in nature, it speaks to the humanity deep within us instead of partisan differences.

Floryence Presents ‘Mallard Cafe’
Milwaukee-based one-man-band artist Jared Gibson is set to make waves this year with Mallard Cafe, his debut EP under the pseudonym Floryence. This 5-track collection is a delightful mix of indie rock bangers that explore the themes of heartbreak, yearning and emotional turmoil.
The EP starts off with Coffee Grinder, which tells the classic story of an awkward guy who winds up in a borderline abusive relationship with a girl seemingly out of his league. The melodic variations of this catchy track perfectly match the way its protagonist gets “turned inside out, upside down and all around” by the lady he’s pursuing.
But the highlight of this release for me was the second track: Ducks. The refrain that goes “you won’t miss me tonight”, coupled with an infectious guitar riff and punchy snares makes for a tune you just can’t get out of your head.
If you’re wondering where ducks come into play, your guess is as good as mine – But that seems to be a common theme across this EP. Mallard Cafe is a production meant to be enjoyed, not deconstructed and critically analyzed.
The next two songs take on a more mature and serious tone, with Tailing Happiness using driving as a metaphor for the aftermath of a heartbreak. Floryence’s songwriting on this track is exceptional, as he uses the vivid imagery of veering off lanes and feeling the impact of an airbag to convey his emotional turmoil.
They say the final stage of grief is acceptance, and that’s the conclusion we get in In another life, Mary Jane. He comes to terms with the fact that their love was never meant to be and imagines what could have been if things went differently.
TRACKS
1. Coffee Grinder
2. Ducks
3. Tailing Happiness
4. In Another Life, Mary Jane
5. Potato Sack Race
This track moves away from the pop-punk sound of the ones preceding it and opts for a synth-heavy pop sound similar to Vampire Weekend. Floryence demonstrates that he’s open to playing around with different styles and has the skills to pull it off as well.
And that brings us to the album’s conclusion, Potato sack race, which returns to a more upbeat indie rock sound. The wordplay on this track is just incredible, with my favourite line being “I’m in a potato sack race with my broken two left feet”, which perfectly captures the disoriented sensation that lasts days following a messy breakup.
These 5 tracks blend together to form a complete narrative, almost like a concept album. The planning, production and composition tells you that while Floryence is a debutante, he is certainly no amateur. This EP was an absolute joy to listen to and I can’t wait to see what this young talent produces next.

Stephen Jacques Presents ‘Fragrant Flowers’
I’ve always been fascinated by Stephen Jacques’ unique approach to lyricism. His storytelling style uses vivid imagery to conjure a landscape in your mind instead of relying on narration – a technique he employs with great effectiveness on his latest release and thirteenth studio album: Pioneers and Fragrant Flowers.
https://boxofmoxie.bandcamp.com/album/pioneers-and-fragrant-flowers
With his earlier twelve releases receiving airplay on over 300 radio stations and podcasts, Stephen is no stranger to the world of music. This new release builds upon his already impressive catalog by going back in time to the American frontier in the 1800s.
The album’s lead single, Fragrant Flowers, wastes no time in setting the stage for the album as Stephen dives right in with his first verse on the Dakota wagon train, travelling through prairies with fragrant flowers under the blazing sun.
Together with the gentle strumming of his guitar, Stephen’s husky voice is perfectly suited for this alt-rock track, as I found myself feeling the same sense of opportunity that the American pioneers would have experienced.
But Fragrant Flowers is quick to snap you out of this reverie, as it dives into the harsh reality of life as a settler. The track paints a picture of how war was commonplace on the frontier, and you never knew when your wagon train would find itself amidst a battlefield.
While we’ve come to expect poignant and reflective songwriting from Stephen, the musicianship on this track takes an already strong performance to the next level.
Stephen’s production achieves a delicate balance between polished modern alt-rock and the organic authenticity needed for historical storytelling. The arrangement builds thoughtfully, as the electric guitar weaves in and out of the foreground to add intensity where it is needed.
The gentle acoustic perfectly complements Stephen’s vocals, adding depth and complexity to the track. This refined composition is a reflection of not only musical talent but also the performers’ experience and maturity.
Fragrant Flowers doesn’t sound like your standard pop hit, and it’s not meant to either. This is the kind of music that speaks to your soul and inspires deep reflection. When you listen to this song, don’t overthink it. Just close your eyes and let yourself be transported to a time and place long gone.

Laura Cheadle & The Girls Releases “Make Me Go Crazy”
I consider Laura Cheadle to be one of the hardest working women in the music business! Laura has been grinding away for years on the scene and she has continued to evolve as an artist. She now fronts an all-girl band and so Laura has once again reinvented herself by bringing something fresh to the forefront. Laura Cheadle & The Girls is a powerful group with a Pop/Soul twist and this female unit is most certainly making waves!
Fronted by Laura Cheadle on lead vocals & guitar, The Girls are also Laura’s wife, Michelle, on bass & guitar along with East Coast drummer Emily Roane and West Coast drummer Kristyn Guernica. Playing for the sake of the love for music and for strong women everywhere, Laura Cheadle & The Girls can best be described as a united front that contains fun-filled energy and positive notes.
“Make Me Go Crazy” comes from a special and intimate place as Laura and Michelle wrote this song about someone driving you crazy but in a good way. The track tackles relationships and in particular Laura and Michelle’s loving embrace as a couple. This is a subject matter that is heavily relatable to many listeners when it comes to that special someone in a person’s life. I instantly think of my wife, Heather, and how I couldn’t imagine my life without her no matter what craziness surrounds us. I commend Laura Cheadle and Michelle for writing a song that the general public can connect with on many levels.
As soon as I hit play, the overall sound does “Make Me Go Crazy” with joy due to the likability factor of the song. I am hearing a smooth-as-ice groove and distinct rhythm that is like ear candy. “Make Me Go Crazy” provides an incredibly catchy hook that has mass appeal. I am feeling this track in a BIG way as Laura Cheadle & The Girls makes joyful noise that sticks to you like Elmer’s Glue. This powerhouse group is in the zone and in total control from start to finish on “Make Me Go Crazy”. Laura Cheadle & The Girls jams out like there is no tomorrow with one hot mix that is FIRE!
“Make Me Go Crazy” drops May 7 and I sense this track will get major traction with fans old & new flocking to the infectious vibe that engulfs you. Currently on a major tour, Laura Cheadle & The Girls looks to gain new followers with this new single. Laura Cheadle has many accolades under her belt and has accomplished so much as a hard-working musician. I feel Laura is just getting warmed up as Laura Cheadle & The Girls sets out to take the world by storm. “Make Me Go Crazy” will entertain you with its feel-good melody and healthy sound.
