A couple of months ago, I wrote reviews of The Ram singles, which served as heralds of his new album. And now the release of “I Am Nowhere, I Am Everywhere” is out – and I want to talk a bit about what this thing is. Essentially, these are home demos, reimagined together with his…

In times of moral crisis, indifference becomes a betrayal — of the world, of our own selves. Silence cuts deeper than any scream. Creating music in such a moment feels like standing on the edge of despair, a half-mad attempt to reach out before the darkness closes in. Yet in these strange, restless sounds, a…

Did you ever catch Wings of Desire? It’s Wim Wenders’ moody, meditative glide through Berlin’s muted streets and quiet longings. The film is soaked in poetic melancholy, big-brain meditations on mortality, solitude, and the ache of simply being human. And while floating through all that moody introspection, a thought slammed into me: Stephanie Bettman’s voice…

Imagine you’re deep inside a neon-lit circuit board masquerading as a city. The sidewalks sweat chrome, puddles pulse with BPMs, and in the corner of all that glossy cyber-noir — there it is: synthwave. It’s dripping nostalgia, dipped in fluorescent tones straight out of a VHS tape you found behind a broken TV in a…

I like my job because it gives me the opportunity to discover new names, meet interesting musicians, and learn their stories. Every day, I discover something new – be it a rare instrument, a unique performance style, or an unexpected take on familiar melodies. These discoveries inspire, fill me with emotions, and broaden my horizons.…

If cities have a voice, then Detroit’s is rhythmic and compelling. Here, music is a part of life itself. In the ’60s, Detroit became the birthplace of Motown Records – the sound that changed the world. Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, and The Jackson 5 recorded here. This music united people and set the…

What does the symbol “V” mean to you? For me, it is the embodiment of philosophical ideas, a reflection of inner strength and aspiration. Its lines, like the trace of a glowing beam of light, strive upward. These two peaks, diverging in different directions, resemble open wings, ready to take flight, symbolizing the dynamics of…

I have always been inspired by Jane Eyre – the heroine of Charlotte Brontë’s novel. Her story is a journey through pain, loss, and humiliation, but never through betrayal of herself. Jane chooses solitude instead of compromising with her conscience, independence instead of dependence, self-respect instead of submission. Her loyalty to herself makes her truly…

Many of us have asked ourselves at least once: “Am I on the right path?” or “How do I even understand this?” These very thoughts formed the foundation of folk singer-songwriter Molly Ganley’s work. Her music is filled with searching, doubts, pain, and revelations, transformed into honest and profound lyrics. The singer’s debut album, “Eldest…

Long years Cameron Keiber hid behind the noise. His guitar parts, voice, and lyrics remained veiled, as if he didn’t want them to be heard too clearly. But time changes even the most convinced. And now, after three decades, he is doing what he seems to have been putting off all these years-releasing “Nurser.” A…
