Social Gravy’s Newest Track, “Fools,” Is Truth in Its Honest Form

Music has and will always be a protest. Whether you like it or not, opinions are much clearer when laid down with a melody and drums. Social Gravy’s track, “Fools,” is a prime example of that. Let’s break down this re-released track that was originally release almost a decade ago in 2016, and understand why […]

“You Are My Sunshine” Has Been Flattened by Decades of Forced Optimism; The7thGatekeeper Drags It Through the Dirt Just to Remind Us That Light Only Means Something if There’s Shadow to Measure It Against

Released on October 3rd, 2025, “You Are My Sunshine” by The7thGatekeeper isn’t a cover so much as a controlled demolition. The artist takes one of the most overexposed lullabies in American music; the kind of song you’ve heard in car commercials, war films, and your grandmother’s kitchen and tears it apart just to see what’s

Kelsie Kimberlin’s “Dream of Peace” Stands Out in How It Fuses That Technical Polish With Raw, Humanitarian Urgency

Kelsie Kimberlin doesn’t just release music. Rather, she stages an act of global storytelling. Her latest single, “Dream of Peace,” arrives as both a sonic and visual statement and it feels like the culmination of a life spent chasing the elusive intersection of art, activism, and empathy. In lesser hands, a song with this title

For a Debut, Red Skies Dawning’s “Shipwrecked” Is Impressively Self-Assured

Every so often, a band crawls out of its own wreckage and decides to rebuild; not with the cautious optimism of a reboot, but with the wild-eyed conviction of someone who’s stared down collapse and thought, “Right, let’s do that again, but louder.” That’s the energy pulsing through Red Skies Dawning’s debut single, “Shipwrecked.” The

“Just a Kiss” Isn’t a Reinvention; It’s a Reminder That Pop Can Still Feel Mythic When It’s Done by Someone Who Believes in It

There’s something beautifully defiant about K-Syran’s new single, “JUST A KISS.” In a world where pop is often either too self-conscious or too cynical to feel anything, she dares to make a song that’s both effortlessly glamorous and completely sincere. It’s a track that doesn’t chase relevance; it stands in stilettos, tosses its hair, and

Ratyński’s “Surprise Stopover” Moves Between Strings and Silence

Sometimes, music hits harder when it has no pretense, no disguise, bonus if it’s not afraid to fill the room with stories without uttering a single word. Ratyński’s “Surprise Stopover” does exactly that, and it’s less like an EP but more of threads weaved together with nothing but strings and silence in mind. Surprise Stopover

The Charm of Dan Rose’s To the Bitter End Lies in the Way It Refuses to Smooth Over Imperfections

There’s a certain type of folk record that feels less like an album and more like someone cornered you at a bar and started telling you about their week with a battered acoustic guitar as punctuation. Dan Rose’s To The Bitter End falls squarely into that category, and I mean that in the best way

The Thing About Jesabel’s “Woman in the Woods” Is That It Resists Being Boxed In

Jesabel’s “Woman in the Woods” is not your standard empowerment single; the kind that gets slapped on a Spotify playlist called “Goddess Energy” and forgotten five minutes later. No, this one’s operating on a different register: it’s part mystical fairytale, part commentary on the nightmare we call society, and part proof that Jesabel would absolutely

Haus of Sound Is Here to Light the Fire on Campfire Stories

Campfire Stories by Haus of Sound isn’t your standard “we jammed in the garage until we found our sound” narrative. Haus of Sound started as a cover band, which usually means doomed-to-mediocrity bar sets and endless requests for “Free Bird.” But instead of collapsing into irrelevance, they somehow converted that origin story into something interesting:
