Hi Pal,
Gardens by Ivan Theva
Indie, Alternative
All great artists have signature attributes that connect them with most of their fans. For Ivan Theva, I think the texture of his voice is his greatest asset and Gardens is a wonderful reflection of that.
Start Over by Claudia Isaki
Vocal Jazz, Neo-Soul
Claudia Isaki’s return to the scene after a three-year release hiatus is one of the best things to happen this year. She sounds better than ever and is still one of the most important new voices in neo-soul.
Terrible Mistake by Lacey Sturm
Alternative Metal, Alternative Rock
I got emotional listening to Lacey’s new album — Kenotic Metanoia — because it reminded me of my late teens listening to Flyleaf. Terrible Mistake is a testament to an artist who has stood the test of time.
June - home version by John Lucas
Indie Folk
A collection of songs recorded at home has no business sounding this beautiful. Somehow, John Lucas has managed to deliver one of the best folk releases this year and June is a prime example of the quality of this album.
Arrowheads by American Arson
Post Hardcore, Punk Rock
I can’t shower enough praises on American Arson’s new album. It’s visceral, energetic, soothing, and hopeful packed with loads of memorable tunes. Arrowheads is one of those songs that is first on the playlist if you’re a fan of their sound.
If you’re open to alternative ways to support my work, consider Buying Me A Coffee.
That’s it for today.
Catch you at the next one!
