Song of the Day: The Gift & The Wound – Matthew De Ver

Serving as a centerpiece of his forthcoming album, ‘Surface Tension (A Tincture for Integrating Shadow)’ MATTHEW DE VER delivers the second R&B track of the day entitled ‘The Gift & The Wound’.

The nostalgic piece gives a snapshot into his teenage years, before the passing of his father – the iconic poet and author Shel Silverstein – over a delicately textured combination of R&B and soul with a boombap vibe.

The video captures Matthew’s Madison, Wisconsin world with an overlay of deeper meaning through urban imagery with nature imagery, offering deep symbolism around such elemental substances as water, stone, wood, and fire.

While you’re here, check out ‘The Gift & The Wound’ – because this guy has some serious talent in him…

New Track: The Scarlet Letter – Love Ghost

Teenage alt rock band LOVE GHOST makes a second return with their brand new single ‘The Scarlet Letter.’

Their lengthy piece speaks out on behalf of Young Americans who feel labeled or experienced any form of discrimination, accompanied by a combination of the lack-back guitar plucks, drumming and emotive violin.

Since their last appearance with single ‘Friday Afternoon’ back in October, the quartet have been named Music Connection’s Hot 100 Unsigned Bands for 2017 and their performance of ‘Forgive Me’ on Balcony TV is currently the number one voted video of all-time.

They’ve been the opening act for such high-profile bands as Smash Mouth, The Young Dubliners, Buckcherry, Berlin, Ozomatli and The Tubes. Now the guys have recently finished their first album which is geared up for release this spring.

Iron out your Monday and check out ‘The Scarlet Letter.’

Album Review: Metrosexual 2 – Ty Senoj

When TY SENOJ‘s latest album ‘Metrosexual 2’ arrived in my inbox, I had a feeling in my tummy that this ride is going to be anything but boring…

Released earlier this month, this set holds ten tracks boasting predominantly the chilled out soundscapes, where this Toronto-based rapper/producer drops his one liners through his brash flow, giving each and every track such vibrancy and an added bounce.

I tell you something for nothing: this flamboyantly styled poser’s tongue is made of acid…and his delivery is definitely on fire. Check him out below:

Must Listen: Blueish Green, No Dutty Panty, Fabulous, Pozer Boy.

New Track: Brown Sugar – Rozie

After working hard on her project, Canadian singer/songwriter ROZIE is ready to release…

Her first instalment comes in the form of a brand new single ‘Brown Sugar’, which sports  sun-kissed soundscapes with a tinge of Tom Misch-esque R&B/soul.

Her musical journey wasn’t an easy ride. After writing a record and putting out an album, somehow she felt unfulfilled. Now under the creative direction of producer Waspy from Dirty Radio – who fine tuned her vision – ROZIE could be on the come up with her new-found soulful trademark.

This one’s hard not to like…check out ‘Brown Sugar.’
