42. Single Review of Psychedelics by Savannah Campbell

Originally published September 17th, 2024 About the Artist This review hits home for me. Literally. Because this artist is from the same city I’m from. Like me,  Savannah Campbell  calls Gallatin, Tennessee home. I first heard of her when I happened across one of her fliers promoting an album release while I was in the lobby at my son’s guitar lesson. Campbell started releasing music in the summer of 2023, with her first single,  Neon Seconds . She released her debut album,  Wrong Side of the Radio , on September 15th, 2023, just over one year ago. “By blending music of past decades with her storytelling voice, Savannah has created a truly original sound that has something for everyone.” (Spotify bio) Savannah Campbell’s music and style defies borders. It’s not just country or folk. It’s not just rock or soul. It has a sound that could fit in today’s music, the 90’s, or the 60’s and 70’s. Her low and raspy voice compares  Stevie Nicks  and  Joni Mitchell , with references to  Fiona App

41. Single Review of Obregia by Alexe

Originally published September 12th, 2024 About the Artist Nearly midway through my third month after starting Fifteen Minutes of Fame, I have found that it is more than just an exercise in changing the critical norms that fast-paced social media have established. Developing an analytical spectrum for how you interpret music allows you to appreciate every song more. I’ve also found that it gives me more desire to branch out and find music that I wouldn’t normally listen to. I’ve always been into alternative, folk, Americana, and softer styles of music. Now, I’ve not only developed an appreciation for Metal, Hard Rock, Dark Wave, and Gothic music, I’ve developed a fondness for it. So, I was very excited about my next challenge of getting to know the artist,  Alexe  and the hardcore music he produced. Alexe is a young performer from Romania. His music is a significant blend of metal and trap beats.  About the Song Obregia is a metal record that released on August 29th, 2024. It has a run

40. Single Review of Over and Over by Longwinded

Originally published August 9th, 2024 About the Artist “Whenever I am about to do something, I think, ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do not do that thing.”  Dwight Schrute Human beings have primitively existed for a believed 300,000 years on Eath, which is a flicker of a flame in the 4.5 billion years of the Earth’s theorized existence. In that time, we’ve had philosophers, scientists, and cultural leaders who’ve done and said some pretty incredible things. How is it that, in that span of time, so many reside from one television show? There are so many moments, one might ask, “What exactly is going on in Scranton, Pennsylvania?” Catherine Gee might be able to speak on that, as she is originally from there. Like  King T'Challa , she decided it was time to share the prosperity of her home with the rest of the world and moved to Los Angeles to join with Brian Kelly and Will Patrick Jackson in forming the ever-promising pop punk band,  Longwinded .  Longwinded have not

39. Single of Red Paint by Comfort Noise

Originally published on September 5th, 2024 About the Artist On the  spotify  bio for  Comfort Noise , he says two words: “Unreliable narrator.” Challenge accepted. About the Song Red Paint  is the debut single of independent recording artist, Comfort Noise. It has a run time of just over 2 and a half minutes. It was released on August 30th. It fits in the genres of Gothic House, Darkwave, Drum, and Bass, and could probably live in a few other genres. Red Paint has a very similar style to prime  Nine Inch Nails  and, though it’s the  second  Darkwave work I’ve reviewed, is quite different and stands apart from that sound. It features a bass with so much phaser, it might be  set to stun  (apparently mine is set to fun), electric guitar, piano electrosynth programming, and I’m going to take a stab and say the drums were programmed but I’m honestly not 100% (either way, nice!) as well as an insane vocal performance that sets the bar for the genre. About the Music Instrumentally, Comfort N

38. Single Review of Make the Night by Tripendicular

Originally published September 5th, 2024 About the Artist Tripendicular  is the stage name of solo artist, Todd Groemling, a life-long native of Louisville,  Kentucky. When he was younger, he would play open mics in town to showcase in front of listeners and other performers, but now he prefers creating from his in-home studio where he is constantly working on solo and collaborative efforts.  Tripendicular also likes to release music videos of his songs, deliberately leaving himself out them so the audience can focus on the music and correlated images that encompass his work. He refers to his style as “kaleidoscope music,” because he likes to introduce or remove one textural layer at a time in an effort to enhance his audience’s listening experience. If you have listened to Tripendicular’s work, and you like what you hear, you’re in luck because he has planned on more releases throughout the remainder of the year. About the Song Make the Night  Is Tripendicular’s most recent single. It

37. Single Review of You Could Change by SeedSquatch featuring Muck Sticky

Originally published September 3rd, 2024 About the Artist “I think Bigfoot is blurry and that’s extra scary to me. Because that means there’s a large, out of focus creature roaming the countryside. ‘Run! Get out of here! He’s fuzzy!’”  Mitch Hedburg So, I honestly didn’t know what I was getting myself into when I hit play on  You Could Change  by the artist  Seedsquatch , featuring  Muck Sticky . However, 30 seconds into the song, I knew I would be writing about it. Seedsquatch is a “hairy songwriting creature that enjoys growing ganja and sharing his knowledge of life to others who care to listen.” This from the elusive humanoid primate himself.  Seedsquatch  Looks to be a project to make an independent film and, along the way, music is being made. In addition to “You Could Change,” you can hear their newest release  Rainbow  here and you can catch a glimpse of him in the wild here on  Instagram . His less hairy sidekick, Muck Sticky, is a Memphis-based recording artist who has more t
