Chase & Status Announce 6th Album, Release Drum & Bass Single “Mixed Emotions”
If you were lucky enough to attend a random rave thrown by Chase & Status‘ in late 2021, you might just be featured on the cover of their upcoming album. The legendary U.K. duo’s new album, What Came Before, appears to be borne out of a desire to capture the essence of rave energy and emotion in its rawest forms. Back in November, they hosted a rave in order to capture an image for the record’s cover, deciding to ban cellphones at the event. “We wanted to create an image that captured the very human compulsion to gather in a dark room and dance and sweat,” Chase & Status said in a press release shared with EDM.com by Casablanca Records. “Such scenes have a different weight to them after they were off the table for a...
On New “DREAM SOUP” Album, Mindchatter Muses on the Inevitability of “Cosmic Slush”
From the very first notes of his sophomore album, DREAM SOUP, Mindchatter evokes an uneasy thematic contrast between the ego and the corporeal, identity and perception. “I forgot who I was. I wish that that would last, but now I’m back,” he croons over luscious bass beats on DREAM SOUP‘s opening track, “Human Shape.” A sample of a person’s heavy breathing lays beneath these lyrics, seemingly bracing themselves for what’s to come: “My skin is really clay. I mold myself to human shape for practicality,” Mindchatter moodily muses. It’s been just three years since Mindchatter released his debut single, “Trippy.” Now, with DREAM SOUP, out via Mind of a Genius, we see him all grown up, gently probing th...

Raised On Radio – RONNIE ROMERO
RATING: 7/10 By this point, everybody should know who Ronnie Romero is. Arguably best known as the one man Ritchie Blackmore decreed fit to front his recent, RAINBOW-shaped return to amplified rock ‘n’ roll, Romero has been a perpetually charismatic presence in hard rock and heavy metal for the last decade. Currently vocalist with at least five bands, including the Spaniard’s alma mater LORDS OF BLACK, and THE FERRYMEN, a collaboration with the ever prolific Magnus Karlsson. Everything Romero does oozes class, and that is largely because he has one of those imperious, undeniable classic rock voices: part Dio and part Freddie Mercury, but with plenty of the singer’s own Iberian grit and soulful charm thrown in. When Ronnie Romero sings a song, it gets pinned to the w...
Are JON BON JOVI’s Vocals ‘Livin’ On A Prayer’? The Early Verdict On BON JOVI’s Current Tour
Jon Bon Jovi, who has never been known as a particularly technical singer, has been receiving scathing reviews for his performances during BON JOVI‘s current U.S. tour which kicked off April 2 in Omaha, Nebraska. The tour is in support of the album “2020”, which was released in October of that year. In his review of BON JOVI‘s April 3 concert at Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Ross Raihala of the Pioneer Press called Jon‘s vocals “shockingly poor,” adding that Bon Jovi “struggled throughout the two-plus-hour show. He wasn’t just butchering the older stuff, which the band now plays in a lower key, but the fresh material as well… Quite frankly, it felt like he had forgotten how to sing.” Théoden Janes of The Charlotte O...
SALIVA’s BOBBY AMARU Says Band’s Upcoming Reunion With JOSEY SCOTT Will Be ‘Good For The Fans’
SALIVA frontman Bobby Amaru says that 2021 “was just not a good year” for the band’s planned reunion with original vocalist Josey Scott. Scott left SALIVA at the end of 2011 after 15 years with the group, reportedly to pursue a solo Christian music career. He was quickly replaced by Amaru, who can be heard on SALIVA‘s last four releases: “In It To Win It” (2013), “Rise Up” (2014), “Love, Lies & Therapy” (2016) and “10 Lives” (2018). In October 2019, Scott announced that he was returning to SALIVA, explaining at the time that he wanted to get together with his former bandmates and “write a badass record.” Less than a year and a half later, in March 2021, SALIVA guitarist Wayne Swinny poured cold water on...

Camila Cabello stopped by the Today show on Tuesday morning (April 12) to dish on the inspiration behind her new solo album Familia. When asked by host Carson Daly what she went into the album process hoping for, she replied with a laugh: “Better mental health. I really just wanted to be free. I wanted to feel joy in the studio, I wanted to be as transparent as possible, and I feel like so many of these songs. … That’s what I love about music. It’s like, I could talk to you about how I’m feeling all day long, but I feel like these songs really sound like how I was feeling on the days that I wrote them.
