Rene Lopez Digs Deep on “Goin Back To Lovin’”

by Leslie Sherman January 26, 2026 9:15 am Tagged With: 2026, Folk, indie rock, music review, new music, New Single, New York, Pop, review, singer, songwriter, United States

Bronx born singer-songwriter Rene Lopez has never been one to smooth the edges, and his latest single, “Goin Back To Lovin’,” leans fully into that. Out now, the track offers a stripped down, emotionally direct look at what happens when the bravado fades.

Built on a gritty blend of outlaw country, Latin soul and rock & roll, “Goin Back To Lovin’” finds Lopez confronting his own missteps head-on. The song doesn’t shy away from broken bridges or hard earned lessons, but instead it follows the quiet determination of someone choosing to stop running and start rebuilding. The groove is not forced, and Lopez’s vocals are close and conversational, like a late night confession shared over a drink at a neighbourhood bar.

Finding Forward Motion – Amana Melome’’s “Recalibration” Arrives Ahead of New Album

by Leslie Sherman January 25, 2026 11:24 am Tagged With: 2026, Alternative, indie, Jazz, new album, new music, New Single, reviews, singer, songwriter, Soul, Spain, United States

About Amana Melome’

Amana Melome’ is a Euro-Caribbean American singer songwriter whose music layers soul, jazz, folk and global influences into a sound shaped by lived experience and deep musical lineage. Born in Germany and raised across continents, her work reflects a life spent moving between cultures, languages and creative worlds.

Melome’ comes from a celebrated jazz family. Her grandfather, Jimmy Woode, was the youngest bassist to join Duke Ellington’s orchestra and performed alongside legends including Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Miles Davis. While honoring that heritage, Melome’ has carved out a voice that is distinctly her own – warm, introspective and with plenty of emotional honesty.

Her forthcoming album Recalibration marks a significant chapter for Melome’, following several years away from releasing music while embracing motherhood. The project reflects themes of growth, connection, and realignment, offering a soulful, grounded perspective.

by Leslie Sherman January 23, 2026 10:49 am Tagged With: 2026, Alternative, Hip Hop, new music, Pop, R&B, singer, songwriter, United States

Eric Selby Finds His Flow on New Release “Five.”

by Leslie Sherman January 20, 2026 5:17 pm Tagged With: 2026, Folk, indie, New Single, Pop, Rock, singer, songwriter, United States

I love records that feel familiar without being predictable. Some of the best music usually lives somewhere in that in between spot between comfort and curiosity, and Eric Selby’s new record Five. achieves exactly that.

The album’s opening track, “The Water,” sets the tone perfectly. It’s a song built on longing not just for a person, but for the calming pull of water itself. Selby has said that he feels most at peace on the beach, and here he captures that almost primal draw towards lakes, rivers and oceans. Deep, sometimes overwhelming, always moving. This is songwriting that doesn’t need to explain itself. Selby says about “The Water”:

The Quiet Realization at the Heart of Matt Alter’s Latest Release “Tossed Away”

by Leslie Sherman January 9, 2026 8:16 am Tagged With: 2026, indie rock, new music, New Single, Rock, singer, songwriter, United States

“Tossed Away” is a song about a quiet kind of recognition. The moment when disappointment replaces confusion and the truth finally begins to settle in. But it doesn’t frame that realization as confrontation or closure. Instead it lets the feeling exist without rushing to resolve it.

“I’ve thought about this theme many times in my life,” Alter explains. “People using you for their own gain. It really sucks. We’ve all felt it at some point. I finally was able to verbalize that sentiment in a song.”

j dylan paul Finds Their Voice on “love sonnet for mikey”

by Leslie Sherman January 8, 2026 6:27 pm Tagged With: 2026, indie, new music, New Single, Rock, singer, songwriter, United States

For Boston based artist and mixing engineer j dylan paul, “love sonnet for mikey” marks a quiet but pivotal turning point, transforming a deeply personal gesture into the foundation for a broader artistic shift.

Originally created as a Christmas gift for a close friend, the song sets a poem written in 2019 after the loss of the author’s brother Mikey. Rather than adapting the text to fit a traditional song structure, j dylan paul treats the poem with careful restrain, leaving the lyrics untouched and resisting any repetition. The song itself lasts just 1 minute 33, but carries a weight that far exceeds its runtime.

by Leslie Sherman December 29, 2025 9:15 am Tagged With: 2025, indie, new music, New Single, Pop, singer, songwriter, United States

by Leslie Sherman December 12, 2025 9:38 am

With her debut single “CHAMELEON,” multidisciplinary artist GAB SAFA steps onto the scene with a clarity of vision and fearlessness that is rare for a first release.

The track is a gripping introduction to an artist who refuses to color inside the lines whether musically, visually, or personally. Instead she creates a musical world where identity is fluid, cinematic and constantly in motion by layering music, film, the spoken word and performance into one artistic language.

“What Fun” – ellakate’s Latest Single Knows Better

by Leslie Sherman December 5, 2025 6:16 am Tagged With: 2025, insie, new music, New Single, Pop, singer, singer songwriter, songwriter, United States

ellakate’s new single “What Fun” hits like the kind of realization you don’t want to have but can’t ignore anymore. The song drifts in quietly, all dim lighting and low pulsing production, and before you realize it, you are knee deep in the emotional static she’s been living in.

There is a heaviness under everything here, but ellakate lets the discomfort just breathe.
