A while back (almost a year ago) I wrote about I HEART Inc’s second annual Bombshell Alliance, in which a compilation featuring rising singer/songwriters accompanied the event. Well, if there is to be a third annual Alliance, it won’t happen until mid-November, but the singer/songwriter I profiled as part of the event last year was… Continue reading [MP3] Lelia Broussard: “Satellite”

Roy Paymon
It’s hard to classify Roy Paymon‘s music, as it blends together several styles of folk, pop, blues, rock, and general Americana. He’s a singer/songwriter based out of Brooklyn, and recently released his self-produced debut album, Guarding Crows. Check out a couple tracks below, including the stunning “Imonetta” (if you don’t understand why that’s the title… Continue reading Roy Paymon
[MP3] Stacy Clark: “Don’t Take What’s Mine”
Two female singer/songwriters in a row from me! You probably think I’m getting all soft on you. WELL…I am. But is there something so wrong with that?? I mean, come on, when we hear good music, that’s what we want to post, no matter what it is when it is. It’s kind of like the… Continue reading [MP3] Stacy Clark: “Don’t Take What’s Mine”

Notable Album Release: Catherine Feeny – People in the Hole
Sultry singer/songwriter Catherine Feeny, kicked to the curb by her London based record-label (Charisma/EMI) in ’08, has carefully plotted her return to action with her forthcoming album People in the Hole. She recorded the album in England but decided to wait on its release when she moved to the States and set a foundation for herself… Continue reading Notable Album Release: Catherine Feeny – People in the Hole
[MP3s] Dana Falconberry + Brad Senne
Why not post two mp3s from the same email together? It only makes sense. Dana Falconberry is a singer/songwriter with an alt-folk twang and a precious voice. The songs are intimately dazzling, somehow managing to haunt with eerie harmonies but stay warm at the same time. Her voice is by no means vibrant or resonant,… Continue reading [MP3s] Dana Falconberry + Brad Senne
Ted Wendler
Ted Wendler may indeed be the next great folk-pop singer/songwriter. Really, I’m floored listening to him; he’s emotionally devastating. And to think I’ve only heard unmastered versions of the tracks… Let the man-crush begin. Wendler is going places: Starting his professional career in Minnesota, he recently moved to Virginia Beach to finish an album with… Continue reading Ted Wendler
Stream Greg Laswell’s forthcoming album, Take A Bow, in its entirety
That’s right! One of my go-to singer/songwriters in times of melancholic pop need, Greg Laswell, is streaming his entire forthcoming album, Take A Bow (out May 4) [Edit: Link removed. Unfortunately there was some miscommunication and the album was only streaming for review purposes for promoters.] The album is everything you’d expect from Laswell –… Continue reading Stream Greg Laswell’s forthcoming album, Take A Bow, in its entirety
Meklit Hadero
Honestly, I couldn’t think of better music for a Saturday afternoon. You know, it’s that time when we’re either preparing to go out for a night of festivities, getting some unfinished work done around the house, or catching up on some “me” time. We need some laid back, groovy tunes. Don’t tell me you don’t… Continue reading Meklit Hadero
New demos from Chicago singer/songwriter Brendan Losch
Hey, remember when we featured Brendan Losch’s band Bullets In Madison (who then quickly rose to my top played charts)? Well Losch is also a solo artist (and runs a music blog, Count Me Out, as I previously mentioned) and has been recording several new demos of late. He sent a couple over our way,… Continue reading New demos from Chicago singer/songwriter Brendan Losch
