“Worst Bad Decision” is the new single from Manny Cabo. Always the consummate optimist, a singer willing to take chances, Cabo’s New Jersey beginnings have led him to this very moment. This feels like his time. Don’t put him the shadow of Edwin McCain, Rob Thomas or the rotating talents that have stood on The Voice stage. Cabo’s timing is right and he’s about to take center stage with the spotlight-worthy “Worst Bad Decision”. It’s a win for Cabo, and a rejuvenation of the connection we share.

This uplifting Americana gem matches Cabo back with what appears to…

Rolling into focus with a gusty melody, “I Miss My Miss in Mississippi” clues us in on what we’re going to be hearing throughout the whole of Jerry Salley’s new album Bridges and Backroads right at the start of the tracklist. There’s a poetic element to the rhythm here that is constantly getting pushed to the forefront of the mix, and as we’ll soon find in the slower “Let Me Be the Bridge,” the part it will play in advancing the emotional themes in this record will be immeasurable in the grander scheme of things. …

There is a wealth of self-help books available steering readers towards promises of self-realization. Follow these steps, adopt this mindset, and you’ll enjoy the same material success of the author. It bears mentioning that readers searching for this sort of material do well to investigate the backgrounds of authors making such claims. Even a quick perusal of Chris Cicchinelli’s professional life reveals he has the necessary credentials. …

It’s safe to say that most everyone you know has gone through a sour break-up or life event that would have generally benefitted from burning some bridges, either before or after said event. It’s such a universal thing, you could walk down the street and rest assured that ninety-nine of one hundred people you pass have probably experienced it in some form. Music about such heartbreak exists and is widely popular as a result, and most of the time the music will dip into melancholic or sappy territory. It feels good to have someone dour serenade you when you’re sad…

Robert Miller is a name known to most through his work as the brain behind Project Grand Slam, a collective of musicians known for their ten releases since 2007. Unsurprisingly, Miller’s ambition was only encouraged to grow stronger than ever in the face of a global pandemic and it prompted not one, but two solo albums recorded remotely. The first, Summer of Love, was produced with the assistance of bandmates from Project Grand Slam. The second album saw such inspirations turn up a notch higher as the lockdown continued, with the result bearing the name Miller Rocks. …

The pandemic is not over yet, but the music is starting to come back even though there have been some good releases so far this year. “Good Ole Love” sets the bar pretty-high for the R&B, soul and jazz school music fans. And the month of April is full of great new releases, and this hot new single by Kenny Black, Shimmer Johnson and Stephen Wrench is worth anyone’s time and money. …

There’s a distinct serenity that abounds on the latest single, “Havanna” from Steve Markoff and Patricia Lazzara’s album, “Romances in Blue”. For those unfamiliar with the work of this incredibly distinct flutist duo, their road to musical stardom was paved with a learning curve as Steve actually started off as Patricia’s student, and the growth the two have shared over their many years since is palpable.

I would argue that the two bring out the best of one another, and having listened earlier this year to their very enjoyable cover of Josh Groban’s “You Raise Me Up”, I…

Music and mythology are inherently intertwined. Not just in the way that music carries a reputation from the point it exists forward, but in the way that’s it developed. We love the romanticization of how an artist was moved to create, whether by a chance meeting of someone who changed their life or a loss, but with Rebecca Blasband with her single “Here” from her album of the same name, it was a mixture of meeting someone who is lost from us. In 1987, a young Blasband and a group of friends experimented with an Ouija board that brought them…
