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.

by Leslie Sherman August 22, 2025 4:31 am Tagged With: 2025, indie rock, new album, new music, New York, Pop, review, Rock, singer, songwriter, United States

Reeya Banerjee’s new album This Place is out today and it feels like the culmination of a journey that’s been quietly unfolding for years.

If her 2022 debut The Way Up introduced her as a songwriter unafraid of vulnerability, this new collection shows just how far she’s come in refining her voice, both literally and lyrically.

With This Place, Banerjee has created an album that is expansive in scope yet rooted in the intimate details of lived experience, an exploration of memory and love all filtered through a rock-and-roll lens.
