Self-producing an album wasn’t something that Sunny Sweeney spent much time pondering – until it happened.

There has been a lot of commotion, both exciting and concerning, happening in the modern soul music pantheon. While this revivalist movement has gifted us some criminally smooth and unforgettable records, the concern stems from a lack of innovation. At this point, the modern soul movement has become somewhat overpopulated with nostalgic purists, which is […]

Colatura may be a pop band at heart, but those melodies come part and parcel with a sharp veneer of noise. It’s a testament to that ambition that the band’s new EP, If I’m Being Honest, feels as open as it does. Breezy melodies co-exist with wave pools of guitar racket in what is somehow […]

“Might put an OG on this beat watch his career get revived… he’s still not touching me though,” exclaims Virginia-bred Hip-hop pioneer McKinley Dixon. The line is said with a joking undertone towards the end of Dixon’s verse on “Crooked Stick,” a highlight from his recently released, critically acclaimed, and artistically daring album Magic, Alive!

For anyone who knows anything about the jam band scene, the 90s was arguably the golden era. Pioneers like the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers were bigger than ever, even if their band members weren’t in the greatest of shape, while the mid-80s and early 90s gave rise to a new wave of grassroots […]
