The single is the result of a year and a half of work in Green’s home studio and a thoughtful approach to songwriting and sound. Green's inventive guitar solo is…
“LIGHT OF BLUE ‘Sugar Ocean Girl’” is a special one from the album "AGE OF MESS," written, produced, performed, and arranged by Ziggy The Mess:Age alone. The track is built on spiritual belief, environmental concern, and deeper lyrical meaning that invites listeners to look beyond the surface. What makes it most interesting is the idea of the “God’s ozone” frequency, seen in the light of blue, and…
DIE DIE BE, Dimitri Barbati, ventures into experimental territory with "Erased Faces," a demanding art-rock and electronic collaboration that defies easy interpretation.

Manic Year’s “Live, Laugh, Love” is a clever and bizarre investigation of love, identity, and being an outsider. The song flips that familiar phrase on its head, employing irony to explore the frustrations of those who feel they don’t conform to conventional expectations. Underneath its cheeky surface is an appealing honesty. The track works musically and lyrically as a parody without reducing its…

Eli Paperboy Reed’s “Like We Used To” is a sensitive, profoundly human contribution to his upcoming album, "Getting There."
