Albums | Watch Conrad Ashton “Celebrate Life”
Posted by VMan on October 3, 2020
Following on from the huge reception he received for his latest EP ‘No Post On Sundays’ in August, which found itself supported on Clash Magazine, GigSoup, Music Crowns and many more, singer and songwriter Conrad Ashton now returns with his latest uplifting delight ‘Celebrate Life’. Returning to his full-band aesthetic, ‘Celebrate Life’ sees the frontman deliver more of that bright and uplifting direction his most recent collection was loved for. Filled with soaring guitars, uplifting vocals, and a heavy nod to the early Britpop sound, this new gem will have your toes tapping and hips shaking within no time. Speaking about the new release, Conrad describes it as, “A song about enjoying life and being thankful for what you have got, celebrating your uniqueness and individuality, being the best version of yourself and most importantly being happy!” Conrad was 9 years old when he witnessed Pete Townshend’s exhilarating stage presence at Live 8, changing his life forever. He knew he wanted to make music and soon after picked up a guitar. By the age of 11, he was writing his own songs and beginning to develop his own unique style. As Conrad got older, music became an outlet for his struggles with depression and anxiety and an escape from the 9 to 5 grind. Infusing his music with sincerity and remarkable passion, Conrad has an undying belief in himself and his music, and hopes to inspire and entertain.
Albums | Gillian Heidi releases “Fray”
Posted by VMan on October 2, 2020
This reminds me of Female lead indie rock / pop from the 1990’s or early 2000’s era by the likes of Michelle Branch, Sara Bareilles, etc. Returning with another ballad, Boston based up and coming talent Gillian Heidi released her new single “Fray”. A gorgeous piano-lined ballad steeped in emotion, the song examines a relationship that is slowly falling apart or, as Gillian astutely puts it, “fraying at the edges.” Her voice bristles with raw vulnerability as she savors the final moments of the relationship. “I really tried to convey the feeling of when something is just beginning to fall apart, but it hasn’t gone down in flames yet,” she writes. “The song is emotional and raw, but not angry.” Listen to the song now above and keep an eye out for Gillian’s forthcoming album ‘3AM‘, which is coming soon!

Albums | MICKY Blends Pop, R&b and Hip-Hop on “Northstar”
Posted by VMan on September 2, 2020
Michael Persall, better known by his artist name MICKY, is a rising star out of NYC. Following in the footsteps of Post Malone, RIZ LA VIE, and other genre-bending artists who tend to blend Pop, R&b and Hip-Hop MICKY’S latest drop “Northstar” is the first piece of music I’ve heard by him but I am utterly impressed. His sonic influences range from heartfelt Motown classics to introspective reggae hits and old-school rock, but what really underpins MICKY’s broad musical style is his relatability, lyricism and ability to conjure emotions from his listeners.
