Toronto-based pop project City Builders (Grace Turner) returns with her debut EP, Healing Revenge, featuring the fun and flirty lead single, “Heartthrob.” Built over two years of writing and collaboration, the EP moves between emotional catharsis and cheeky fun, exploring the complex territory of heartbreak, healing, and self-discovery. Recorded over 10 months with collaborators AL-P […]
Improvisational Pianist Mario Mattia Releases “Origin” – A Return to First Principles
There is something quietly definitive about “Origin”, the latest release from improvisational pianist Mario Mattia. As the title suggests, the piece gestures towards a point of departure, although the music itself resists any fixed sense of starting or ending. This work is less like a beginning and more like a return to first principles.
“Origin” consists of a single, uninterrupted improvisation lasting just over twenty-four minutes, making it the longest work Mattia has released to date. Recorded in his rural woodland studio with close microphone placement and a meticulously voiced piano, the performance captures every detail of the instrument’s character – from warm, resonant consonance to the more fragile edges of upper-partial dissonance.
Where the Land Sings Back: Todd Mosby’s American Heartland Paints Missouri in Sound
American Heartland finds Todd Mosby turning inward and outward at once, creating a record that is deeply personal and geographically expansive. Released today, the album plays like a living, breathing landscape shaped by memory, movement and a lifelong connection to Missouri.
From the opening moments, Mosby establishes a tone that is patient, immersive, and richly detailed. “Clouds Above Golden Fields” introduces the tone of the record, unfolding gradually like long stretches of road or slow moving clouds in the sky.
Raffaele Scoccia Captures the Sound of Stillness in New Release “Silent Mountains”
“Silent Mountains” is a newly released solo piano single by Italian composer and pianist Raffaele Scoccia. Inspired by a winter day spent high in the Dolomites, the piece reflects a period of introspection and renewed creative clarity for the artist.
Known for his wide ranging work across genres (including projects under his Moon Rocket alias), Scoccia returns here to the piano as his primary voice, offering a deeply personal and expressive composition rooted in stillness, nature and balance.
GAB SAFA Channels Light and Shadow on New Single “BEAUTY TEARS”
Given that we now live in an era where genre lines are not just blurred but practically dissolved, where pop music is as likely to be cinematic as it is club-ready, “BEAUTY TEARS”, the latest offering from GAB SAFA, feels like a natural evolution of that shift.
As the song unfolds, built on shimmering synths and a pulse that leans as much toward the dancefloor as it does inwards reflection, there’s an immediate sense that this is music with intention. Plenty of artists flirt with emotional vulnerability, but few manage to anchor it in something that still moves physically as much as emotionally. SAFA does both. The track breathes, expands and gathers momentum.
Interview with Janet Noh – Growing Up With You
Janet Noh has become a regular on these pages. While in L.A. for NAMM and then GRAMMY week, I crossed paths with Janet more than once. There’s a fun story behind this… While at NAMM, my wife was excited to see a certain artist perform on the Sheraton stage. Being the awesome husband I am, […]
That Moment You Can’t Quite Name in A is For Atom’s New Single “Out of the Blue”
There’s something understated about Out of the Blue that really works in its favour. It doesn’t push too hard or try to manufacture a moment that isn’t there. Instead, A Is for Atom lets things evolve the way these situations tend to in real life.
At its heart, the song deals with that shift most people recognise: when a long-standing friendship starts to feel like something else. Not in a dramatic way, but in the quieter sense where it creeps up on you over time. It’s in the shared history, the familiarity and the little details that suddenly start to mean more than they used to.
Beyond the Spotlight: Bobbo Byrnes and the Realities of the Touring Circuit
Despite spending more than two decades on the road, playing everywhere from dive bars to festival stages across the U.S. and Europe, Bobbo Byrnes has largely remained just outside the traditional spotlight. Which makes his new book Too Many Miles: On the Road with an Unofficial Rock & Roll Goodwill Ambassador feel not only overdue, but necessary. It’s a document of the kind of career that rarely gets written about, even though it represents the reality for most working musicians.
Too Many Miles casts a wide net, chronicling Byrnes’ evolution as a touring artist through years of constant movement. This isn’t a rise-and-fall story or a neatly packaged industry success narrative. Instead, it’s a long haul account of building a life in music the hard way: through house concerts, radio appearances, long drives and the word-of-mouth touring network that exists far below the mainstream radar.

John Muirhead Captures the Quiet Weight of Unrequited Love on “Loved You Well”
Toronto-based indie-folk troubadour John Muirhead shares his new single, “Loved You Well,” a tender and reflective meditation on unrequited love, yearning, and the quiet spaces where connection almost blooms. Rooted in simplicity and intimacy, the track captures those fleeting, ordinary moments that linger long after they’ve passed; the ones that live rent-free in our hearts […]
