“BREATHE” was written as a serenity prayer of sorts. It’s directed towards a sibling who struggles with the ups and downs of everyday life. The song is intended to be a reminder for all of us, to not sweat the little thing and just “Breathe” Mike Freund, a hard working rock wanderer originally from New Jersey, who transplanted to and is now based in Charleston, South Carolina. He is a veteran singer, songwriter and no-joke guitar slinger who has been entertaining Rock & Blues fans up and down the East Coast for years. He and his band released their new album “Twenty Twenty” in February 2022. Mike plays a melodic mix of multi-elemental rock and roll which he plays from the heart. This marvelous album contains a wealth of entertaining songs layered with soft rock, American folk, blues and a dash of country rock for good measure.
Genre: Pop
Breakout artist Rachel Chinouriri arrives with her latest single, “All I Ever Asked.” The fresh new pop single from this London based alternative-indie-pop singer songwriter is a melodic and introspective light story about not settling in a relationship.
Genre: Indie Pop Classic Objects is a sparkling art pop album that’s light and unusually direct. “American Coffee” teems with vivid autobiographical detail, and Jenny Hval reaches toward infinite expanses with “Jupiter” . Hval offers her characteristically tilted point of view, aligning a sense of existential loneliness with the premise of a capitalist creative statement designed for disintegration. https://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/jenny-hval-jupiter/

Cabela and Schmitt’s New Release A New Day is about Change
A few years ago, big changes were happening for a few people in my life. I think the general theme of “A New Day” was mostly inspired by these changes happening around me.

Artist: CMAT
New Release: Nashville
Genre: Pop Country
“Nashville”, the opening track on If My Wife New I’d be Dead, is an absolutely perfect modern country song. Every aspect of “Nashville” absolutely soars, from the strings that play it in, the glitz and glamor of the bells and whistles that fill the sound out and, above all else, the powerhouse voice of CMAT (aka Ciara Mary Alice Thompson). On the surface, the lyrics about running away to Nashville are about as traditional country as one can get, but beneath the surface are lyrics that describe the masking of a deep depression. Throw in references to both the rodeo and K-Pop and you get a song that would get even purest fans of classic country fans singing along with the most ardent popheads. Remarkably, just about any of the eleven songs that follow “Nashville” could also be described in just about the same manner.
