Georgie Sweet – “The Ones We Loved”
As the opening track of Georgie Sweet’s latest LP, I Swear To You, “The Ones We Loved” takes a deep inhale before unleashing a lethal groove. The layered a cappella harmonies are a siren song for me personally. I have an equivalent appreciation for the beats of the rest of the album, but this track doesn’t need any extra help, just a simple drum machine … Continue reading Georgie Sweet – “The Ones We Loved”

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
A classic in every sense. Sister Sledge is one of those rare household staples, whether everyone realizes their name or not. Their sound defines the ’70s for me, and that’s saying a lot when you consider that a majority of my wax collection was originally printed in that fortuitous decade.

Claim Your “Space” with Audrey Nuna’s Latest Single
Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. When you have had it with everyone and everything, sneak away to spend some time with Audrey Nuna’s latest release “Space”.

The newest cut lacks rapping altogether, instead favoring subtle yet seismic production accompaniment. … Continue reading Claim Your “Space” with Audrey Nuna’s Latest Single
Describing the Indescribable: Sundry Rock Song Stock by Yves Jarvis
sngalbums: Prior to his 2019 album, The Same But By Different Means, Yves Jarvis was not used to having deadlines.
