Federico Balducci is one of a long line of artists who arguably serve as premonitions of the future. With the devastating effects of the Covid-19 pandemic ravaging various industry, the increasing disdain for establishment in the fields of politics and celebrity, and the technological capacities for self-promotion and self-distribution of one’s own work, Balducci has […]
If it weren’t enough to have the likes of Gary Lefkowith and Mike Rogers behind the glass for his latest performance in the studio, Charlie Gracie is bringing much of the same energy that launched his career all the way back in the 1950s in the new single “Can’t Stop Rock’n.” Powered by a fiery […]

Could life be any worse than being in jail on Christmas? For a year like 2020, it seems fitting. But, for a country song, we’ve heard some pretty heartbreaking, but funny stories and jingles over the years. New this year for all the girls and boys is “Christmas on Cellblock 9” from See Your Shadow […]
The driving light to the new album ELETÉ from Lucia Tacchetti is her almost ethereal vocals. Although, like the artistic chameleon that she is, Tacchetti has a way of making the songs sound like she’s crooning just as much as she’s harmonizing.
