Glide Magazine premieres the new single from Stephie James’ upcoming debut LP, As Night Fades, writing, “James’ poetic approach to songwriting provides vivid imagery over a jangly arrangement that refuses to be put in a box.”

From sharing the stage with Anita Baker to working in the studio with Dan Auerbach, Stephie James has seen every side of music. The Nashville via Detroit singer/songwriter has been earning her stripes in the background while honing her skills as a frontwoman and today, it all pays off. James is announcing her debut album As Night Fades, which is set to be released on March 1. The 10-song album will be available digitally along with some physical pressings that will host two songs not on the digital version. James is giving us our first preview of As Night Fades with the Glide’s premiere of “Losing Side”, the lead single to her anticipated debut. James brings us Honytonk bygone visuals and contagious hooks that reflect a time and place when the world was just a tad… cooler.

Add to Wantlist shares their thoughts on the new album from The Helltones, Medusa, noting its “pleasant vocals and perfectly orchestrated instrumentation.”

Californian rock ‘n’ soul outfit The Helltones return with full-length Medusa, which sounds more charming, subdued and polished than you would expect based on the band name and cover art. The music may have a warm appearance, but the theme is quite dark: “As with the mythical Medusa, this album is about taking your demons, chopping their heads off, and using their severed heads to turn your other demons into stone.”

AmericanaUK debuts the new video from Old Heavy Hands, “Coming Down,” noting, “The twanging guitars give way to a grungier sound as the song grows, culminating in a searing solo from David Self.”

The pulsating new single from Greensboro band Old Heavy Hands is built upon a thudding bass line and thumping drums.  It’s hypnotic, absorbing songwriting and makes for an engaging listen.  The twanging guitars give way to a grungier sound as the song grows, culminating in a searing solo from David Self, just as the characters in the video go down into the fires of Hell.  Larry Wayne Slaton’s voice is emotive and full of weary character while Nathan James Hall delivers an excellent reply with the call and response vocals.

VENTS Magazine interviews Nashville electropop cosmonaut Josh Rennie-Hynes, on the heels of his new album, LIGHT/SHADE.

We’re very excited to be speaking today with acclaimed electropop/dreampop artist Josh Rennie-Hynes; holiday greetings and salutations, Josh! Before we dive into the Q&A mosh-pit, could you explain to our ever-inquisitive readers what the electropop/dreampop genre of music is all about? How would you define it to a music aficionado just dipping their toe into that particular music style?

Nice to speak with you. I think dreampop/electropop has electronic elements, synths and drum tracks etc. The dreaminess to me is in the melodies and production. I think the music should transport the listener to some place else. That’s what I tried to achieve myself when I made this album. I wanted it to feel dreamline and ethereal.
