Stories Sung from the Heart: “Nothing Lasts Forever”, the New Album by Brock Davis
In America, there are small towns where the radio catches only two stations – country and sermons. By evening, the sky there becomes boundless, and the road to the next settlement stretches through silence, leaving time and asphalt nearby. Admit it, in such moments music is especially needed – warm, close, one’s own. And it…

Postfeminist Glam: New Album “Apocalypse” by Lacey Lune
New Yorkers joke that: “If you want to see the real city – come in the first week of January”. After the stormy meeting of the New Year, the noisy megapolis suddenly takes a pause.

No More Shy Fluffy Guitars: Summer Colds Go Bold on Second Album “Missing Out”
After all, there is some benefit from the COVID era despite all its unpleasantness – and the album reviewed here ultimately proves its existence.

Without Masks and Clichés: The Iddy Biddies and Their Album “The World Inside”
Many have surely received a message from a male or female friend with the phrase: “Come over in the evening, I’ll set the table.” You throw off your jacket in the hallway, settle on a stool in the kitchen, and instead of the boring “so, how’s work?” a heart-to-heart conversation begins – the very kind…

Trans Atlantic J. and “Circus”: 21 Minutes of Rhythmic Meditation
What do Antwerp, the Netherlands, and Berlin have in common? At first glance – nothing, except the Schengen zone. But looking more closely, a curious trio emerges: a pragmatist, a diplomat, and an eternal teenager. It’s precisely in this triangle – between Flemish aesthetics, Dutch drive, and Berlin boldness – that Trans Atlantic J. creates.…

Cherry Makes Waves and her “Home By Eleven”: Music On a Whole New Level
Rare – because it’s hard to meet such ones these days. Interesting – because from the first minute you realize: before you is an artist whose creative energy is boiling.

The Debut EP “LEO”: LÉO’s Intimate Debut That Defies Passing Trends
Her stage pseudonym LÉO is actually her real surname. And LÉO was given to her at quite a young age – the “culprit” of this is her grandfather on her mother’s side. She was an active and stubborn child, she could hardly manage to sit still, because of this her grandfather called her his “little…

The New Album “21 grammi” by Giuseppe Cucè: Music That Defies Gravity
In 1907, American doctor Duncan MacDougall tried to capture the moment when the soul leaves the body.
