“The search for love tends to leave us all jaded and fed up at some point. Many of us become reluctant to love or trust but then that right person comes along and blows away those brick walls. That’s what Miya Zawa’s single, ‘likedamn (whoa)’ expresses. The energy and talent sell the emotion well and carry the listener along for the joyride.”
“I’m a sucker for the timeless sound of a good Rock song and LA area band, NIght Talks know how to deliver exactly that.
’Gasoline’ is Indie Rock gold about the dangers of comparing yourself to others. The lyrics are a good reminder that we are all happiest when we are simply the person we are meant to be. ”
“Chicago singer/songwriter Sean Skyler has been carving a place in the musical landscape while honing his craft. His latest track, ‘Follow’ You’ is a an upbeat and energetic ode to love and reckless abandon that only love can bring. A perfect feel-good summer track to put some bounce in your step and a whistle in your lips.
Or hey ... it could be a jaunty song about a stalker. Only sort of kidding but the track made me smile so I hope it does the same for you.”
“In case you need one, this is your reminder that Sunday May 11th is Mother’s Day.
Neena Rose clearly needed no such reminder as she penned this tender loving ode to mother’s and planned the release to coincide with the holiday.
The track is artfully written and performed and you’d no doubt warm your own mother’s heart by sharing this track with her.”
“Chloe Star is breaking the mold by redefining what a Pop Star is supposed to be. The 27-year-old singer, songwriter, visual artist, and tribal advocate split her time between Los Angeles and her family’s reservation in San Bernardino while growing up. This past year Chloe’s star has been on the rise, and she is now an in demand queer performer only a short time after making her official debut in 2023.
’TNT’ is a big bold party anthem that almost dares the listener to challenge the in your face lyrics. Of course Star is up to the challenge of proving she has nothing to hide and all the talent to shine. ”
“The Gaffes are an Alt Rock band from Chicago and they deliver the exact kind of classic Indie Rock sound that is timeless on their single, ‘Passerby.’
The best music often feels like you’ve heard it all your life from the very first listen and that is exactly how I felt hearing this track. I’ll be adding this one to several of my playlists and I suggest you do the same.”

“Roots of Creation creates a feel good vibe with ‘Move Along.’ At least musically. Lyrically the track is more about dismissing the haters, the dead weight, the roadblocks in your way. There is certainly a freedom in that and the groove here has an uplifting vibe that makes it easy to believe you can simply shrug away all the negative people. Maybe we can. Let’s give it all a shot and simply let the good times roll over us. ”
“Clara Lars is a rising star and ‘Better’ is the latest track to showcase her incredible talent.

“Carrying the mantle of talent out of Compton, Yestrdy delivers a flow that lands somewhere between Kendrick and Yelawolf in style for the track, ‘Awful Lot.’

“The PØRTERS are putting the fun in dysfunction with their latest track, ‘The Thrill.’ This hard edged song tips its hat to classic rock but feels fresha nd new while doing so. Crazy can be thrilling for a time and knowing you are in a relationship doomed to explode comes with its own brand of adrenaline that this song taps into for a fast paced thrill ride.”
“Sorry, PEach gives us a tranquil Indie track with tender vulnerable vocals early on to truly hook the listener emotionally. ‘Of course the question ‘why are you so scared?’ ... to love me, is one only asked when you find yourself in a vulnerable position so the feel is perfectly matched with the early lyrical build.
Sorry, Peach elevates the track and lets the music do more of the heavy lifting as the frustration takes over for the back half of the track. A masterfully crafted song.”
The first track, 'Divine Technique', on Pluto Outerspace 'Sorry 4 the Space' album eases you in slowly. You’ll find yourself twiddling your fingers to the airy, futuristic melody before Pluto even touches the mic — but when he does, it locks in. The intro feels intentional, setting a spacey tone that carries through the whole project. Pluto uses a few lyrical samples here and there, but they blend so well with his flow and production that you barely notice — he puts his own spin on everything he touches.
One thing that stands out is how each song title feels like an invitation. It’s almost impossible not to want to click just to see what vibe he’s about to serve. When I saw 'Don Julio', I expected a club banger — something loud and rowdy — but Pluto surprised me with a more mellow, almost hypnotic track that leans more into groove than hype.
The production across 'Sorry 4 the Space' is clean but experimental, playing with spacey synths, quick drum patterns, and unpredictable beats. It feels futuristic without losing its energy. The songs are short, but it works — they’re perfect for quick TikTok trends, Instagram Reels, and getting stuck in your head.
Overall, I’d call this album energetic, futuristic, and vibe-heavy. Pluto Outerspace really takes you somewhere else. It’s a quick trip, but every song gives you something you can rock out to, replay, and, most importantly, feel

“ANNA VEE utilizes and raw emotive delivery to expres sherself on ‘Honestly.’ The soaring vocals do convery a genuine honesty in this ode to being true to yourself and your needs.

“The Riverines take us for an Alt Rock romp through a narrow hallway we’ve all traversed on ‘Get Out.’
We’ve all walked a path of familiarity because well it is the easy way to go. Trapped by our own comfort we take don;t strike off to explore or find the new that makes us grow we stick with what we know and in the ends it leads us nowhere.”
“Carousel Blonde is a throwback in some ways as they have tapped intot he nostalgic style of 90s Alternative Rock, but they’ve managed to do so without sacrificing a contemporary edge. “Walls’ is a track that will turn your thoughts inwards as you think and process the lyrical power. This is a good thing because the song sticks to you long after its end.”
