Cormac
'Defenceless' reflects the uncertainty of being a teenage boy today — wanting to be emotionally open, but unsure how that’s meant to look in real life. It’s a direct, honest piece of writing about second-guessing yourself, trying to be resilient, and figuring things out as you go. Co-written with Henry Maybury and producer Jon Cohen, “Defenceless” keeps the focus on the vocal and the lyric. The production is deliberately understated, giving the song space to breathe and allow

Stay, Return has just been released as my 6th single. Like Spring-Cold Summer, it is a new recording and arrangement of one of my original songs from the 90s.

P. C. Currier
An American singer-songwriter from small-town Connecticut with a variety of songs inspired by life events and the world. Through all that happens in this world, it is hard not to take inspiration from it and smith it into something for people to hear, whether it be personal stories of heartbreaks or triumphs, a spiritual journey, a story of a friend, support for someone, encouragement, situations around the world, etc. This fuel, combined with a bit of artistic fiction, helps

Midnight Fire comes from the same album as Renounce and expands on its emotional and sonic universe. While Renounce focuses on inner conflict and the act of letting go, Midnight Fire captures what remains afterward — the quiet tension, the unresolved heat, the feelings that continue to smolder beneath the surface. Together, the tracks form a cohesive narrative built on introspection, restraint, and emotional weight. Midnight Fire maintains the album’s dark, nocturnal atmosphe

Alan Eberlein and Stephen Cornwell
We write songs that tells a story. Our songs cover Country, Rock, Jazz, and Latin Caribbean. We come up with the lyrics and the chords. We record the song with just singing and a guitar. Next, we upload to Ai which takes our lyrics and melody and transposes it into a complete band at our direction. This allows us to show what the song could sound like with a full band at a cheap cost. The one exception is our 181 Wine song. We sent our recording to a Nashville Studio and paid

Lana Crow Delivers A Message With "Orwellian Times"
A single from Lana Crow delves into societal approaches of the world we live in and how they can affect each individual person as well as the group as a whole. She digs into the aspect of self-righteousness and how we all turn to screens to get our fix, information, news, and media. The approach speaks of how this is not really good for society as a whole. And she's absolutely right. Now, this is just how I interpreted the song; others may take it a little differently, but fo

An Honest And Edgy Single From Maya Wells
A new single release from Maya Wells manages to deliver this very personal sentiment that has a lot to do with pushing through certain kinds of life struggles, pain, and more. The song is based on having the strength to keep moving forward, and I found this to be incredibly connective right from the start. One of the things that really hits hardest about this track is those lyrics. They're delivered with a great robustness in the vocals, and the entire song has a bit of a roc

Vanden Dool - Somebody That Someone Can Love
The dry, suburban prairie landscape of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada is not an immediately obvious candidate for the birthplace of someone in a genre as inherently metropolitan as synth-pop. Nor would you expect the sounds of CHVRCHES, Depeche Mode and M83 to cut through the noise of hard rock, country and heavy metal. Yet, this happened with Ty Vanden Dool, who has left his own personal stamp on the genre for over a decade and taken it with him up to his new home in Calgary. V
