Novo Amor caught my attention when the tune “Birthplace” was added to a playlist I was listening to a few days ago. I was intrigued by the production of the tune with its mixing of strings, piano, percussion, and bits of brass. It is truly one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have…

The Mowgli’s – I Was Starting to Wonder EP
Just when I feel like I will not find anything inspiring to write about something magical like The Mowgli’s comes along and restores my hope in the gift that is music therapy. With arms outstretched, The Mowgli’s use fun lyrics, catchy melodies, and anthemic shouts to pull their listener out from the depths of despair….
Faouzia
I am beginning to think that September is the magical month to find greatness. Last year I came across Irish powerhouse vocalist Dermot Kennedy and wondered if I would ever find any human as shockingly talented again. I had my doubts, but I think I just found his female counterpart. Moroccan born, Canadian raised singer/songwriter…
Jack’s Mannequin – The Glass Passenger
Autumn is my favorite season, but unfortunately I am from South Carolina where the crisp air is lacking and can only be replicated by turning down the air conditioner and lighting the biggest apple cinnamon candle known to mankind. Fortunately, I have a handful of artists that give me the autumn feel I crave, and…
Backup Plan – Plested Single
Plested came to be when Phil Plested, who has written for big name artists including Kygo and ZYAN, decided to keep some of his songs for himself and launch a solo career, and I am so grateful for that decision. I came across the folk-pop tune “Backup Plan” a few days ago when it was…
Alec Benjamin
I do not know how I have been missing out on Alec Benjamin, and I am very grateful for people like Zach Sang (Radio Personality) who keep their ears open when mine are shut. I was watching some of Sang’s interviews a couple of days ago via YouTube and came across one he did with…
David Keenan
I have been in a slump lately, and I have found it hard to enjoy music of any kind (shocker, I know). Enter Irish singer/songwriter David Keenan. I feel like a bit of luck brought him my way this week, and his music has been like therapy to my soul. Have you ever made it…
Charlie Puth – Voicenotes
I have always been a fan of a good ole pop album, but over the many years of my life I have found it hard to come across a pop album that really leaves me satisfied, one that I want to listen to from beginning to end many times over. Enter Charlie Puth’s sophomore album…
Kansas – Talos Single
When Acceptance (one of my favorite bands) tweeted about Talos at SXSW I made a mental note to check them out, but it got lost somewhere with all of my other mental notes (most likely wherever my missing socks are). Apple Music came to my rescue when the Irish band’s new tune “Kansas” was added to…
Say – Will Heggadon Single
I have had UK singer/songwriter Will Heggadon’s tune “Say” on repeat since it surfaced in March of this year. I think we have all heard the phrase “like buttah,” but I never felt the need to use it until describing Heggadon’s voice. He effortlessly glides over the lyrics in this tune pulling you in with…
