ALA.NI’s You & I is one of the most original records of the year, but not because it’s anything new, but rather it draws on sounds from the past. It’s like being transported, it even feels like it has a little dust on it, a little crackle like dusting off an old vinyl. It has an old soul with a modern edge.
After hearing Casey Cook’s beautiful song “Grain of Salt” I was so intrigued, not only by her effortlessly gorgeous voice and the electro-pop sounds of her song, but by her tenacity and self-starter attitude.
Brit Daniels says her love for pop music started, like most of us, listening to *NSYNC, Britney Spears, and The Backstreet Boys. She would watch TRL every day when she got home from school. She loves the videos, the catchy songs, and sense of fun they had.
Okay, we’re about to dive into the layers of my life that I don’t think I have ever mentioned – at least not out loud. I’m not sure if I’m even proud to admit that I once had a tumblr. I really used it for the 1D gifs and trying to be one of the lucky fans who Taylor Swift followed. While we’re here discussing 1D and Taylor, we all watched the Haylor relationship unfold, right? I know, I know. What the hell does this have to do with Halsey?!
As soon as I heard Billy Raffoul’s anthemic “Driver” I knew he had something. The song is so powerful and dynamic.
Olivia’s new video for “I Choose This Love” is such a beautiful story set to the backdrop of a soaring, shimmering pop single. We’re so excited to premiere this sweet video and talk to Olivia about her music.
Ships Have Sailed are that perfect mix between pop and alt rock, since their debut EP Someday they’ve been popping up at SXSW and CMJ and have been praised by NPR. Their stunning acoustic EP Whispers sent them on tour last fall, but their new single “Up” really caught our attention.
Daphne Willis wrote a lot of poetry in school, and by the time she started learning acoustic guitar she had her lyrics ready to go. She started playing open mic in college and eventually forming a band.
It’s early April and I am getting coffee with a friend of mine that is an artist here in Nashville. We chat about his solo shows, acts he is playing guitar for, and his recent child that was just born. About midway through our conversation, Pat Kiloran tells me about an idea that he and longtime friend Jack Vondrachek had been collaborating on.
The weather didn’t look great for Grace Mitchell’s show. It had rained all morning but it had subsided for the moment. There was no one I was more excited to see on Sunday at Hangout Fest. “Now” is one of my favorite songs this year. The hard rock edge combined with 80s synths make it so instantly catchy.
