Lee Clark Allen’s debut album My World Is Yours sounds like the work of someone who’s lived every note. The Duluth-based singer, songwriter, and producer spent six years building the record through personal upheaval, moving between Seattle, Aurora, and Denver studios, recording whenever he could. Across twenty tracks, Allen blends classic soul and modern R&B…
Jon Darc has been circling Berlin’s queer underground for years, staging performances that feel closer to ritual than to concerts. Their background in theater bleeds into every gesture: fashion as armor, lyrics as confession, visuals as extensions of sound. Morast, their new EP, arrives September 12 and pulls all those strands into a concentrated statement…
Slow Walk’s debut album The Mountain is a self-contained climb. Written and recorded alone in his London home over just two weeks, it takes the shape of a classic concept record: each track a step upward, each layer another shift in the terrain. The blueprint nods to War of the Worlds and Tommy, but the…

The experience reshaped his approach to music entirely. What follows isn’t a comeback story – it’s a reset. “Now Is the…
On his latest single Holding Fast, DrewJam dives into a slow-burning rock sound that’s introspective without being dull, poetic without slipping into melodrama. What starts with a gentle piano line builds steadily into something far more impactful — layering ambient textures, real drums, and vocals that keep their raw edge. The song plays like a…

As third horn of the Grand Rapids Symphony and a prizewinner at international horn competitions, Orr brings a rare authenticity to her recordings. On The Singing Horn, she pairs traditional songs and Mahler transcriptions with original…
