Written by on 20 March 2019

YOU TUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUlnyin8tt0&feature=youtu.be Creating a mood within a song is essential to making the narrative of its lyrics stick with the listener long after the music ceases to play, and for NoTraceand Glenn Travis, you couldn’t be asking a simpler task. The duo come together in the new single “Vibrations,” a heartfelt hip-hop ballad about the virtues of self-awareness and facing the challenges of […]

Casey Ahern “He Was Summer”

Written by on 8 March 2019

The Muddy Crows “Straight Crazy”

Written by on 4 March 2019
