"Never Alone" poem by Jhantu Randall

Read More by Jhantu Randall If I could write something to build upon every artist work let the good begin I just wanna see the dedicated ones win but we all got haters who hide behind a grin I'm always gonna want more The answer is obscure but in the end I know we're the cure The antidote for those lost souls who feel they're kept off shore Those who use their skill to break in the door I want wealth, the luxury of good health even though the patrols wish for me to fail I'm rising for the first time knowing who I am Pride in my brown skin it's like I found the fountain of youth Flip it like Mysonne and give you the truth locked in a recording booth We gonna make it, stay on the grind The landscape is marked but this world is mine Sign of the times So I find comfort in those who find new ways to define Success from publishing, presenting rapping, singing just creating Own the content in all its different stages Now I cant lose Put in a place to live out the blues but...

Check Out Spanish Palms on    YouTube    ///    SoundCloud    ///    Instagram Spanish Palms is a music group formed in Las Vegas NV in early 2019.

Formerly known as Force Fed Food vocalist Fernando Solano met keyboardist Andy Valor from Florida through a post on craigslist.

Stream “Thread Me Into It” song by Kiro Skiro

by NorthWest Music Scene Staff A newly released song called “Thread Me Into It” from Seattle dark pop outfit Kiro Skiro. Beginning as a creative exploration set to a 2-beat sample from a Peter Gabriel record, “Thread Me Into It” channels the clean rhythms of the mid 80s while blending elements of EDM and post-punk. The result is one of Kiro Skiro’s most genre-bending tracks, with stream-of-consciousness lyrics inspired by our often-senseless desire to fit in with the rest of humanity. (Check out “Thread Me Into It” below via Bandcamp and get more info about Kiro Skiro HERE .) Thread Me Into It by Kiro Skiro

"Arrogant" album review (written by Jhantu Randall)

When it comes to hip hop, region always tends to play a big part in how its received. The South has its style, East and West too, each distinctly different yet still apart of a larger thing. We as listeners use this as a guideline as we listen to rappers expecting a particular identity depending on where they claim to reside from. The question is, what do you do when an artist blends multiple regions giving a sound that can’t be identified initially? Well in the case of Deondre Jones’ project, Arrogant, you keep listening. From the first track the production stands out sounding like the bay area, certain beats lead me to drawing comparisons to what I liked about Smash Rockwell years ago. Not comparing the two as Dre adds his own twist to what makes that sound already stand out. It took a few listens but the rhymes actually stuck with me more than I thought. Driving for the last few days, his track “Winning” became my anthem, however the following track “The Oath” felt like it should’ve...

Tony Bennett to play the Paramount on September 7

by NorthWest Music Scene Staff Live Nation proudly presents Tony Bennett, the 19-time Grammy Award-winning musician whose music spans over six decades on Saturday, September 7, 2019 at the Paramount Theatre. Tickets can be purchased beginning Friday, June 7 at 10am online at LiveNation.com. At the age of 92, Tony Bennett is not slowing down and his latest recording, with long-time friend and musical colleague, Diana Krall, LOVE IS HERE TO STAY topped the jazz charts upon its debut and was just nominated for a Grammy Award. The album celebrates the music of the Gershwins and includes the jazz standard, “Fascinating Rhythm,” which Bennett and Krall perform as a duet. The inclusion of the song on the new album, was the impetus for a Guinness World Record title for Tony Bennett, who in 1949, under his stage name of Joe Bari at the time, made his very first recording of the Gershwin standard. In 2017, the Library Of Congress presented Bennett with The Gershwin Prize marking the first time t...

Stream “Alpine” song by Lyle

by NorthWest Music Scene Staff A driving, pop-infused narrative, “Alpine” is Lyle co-founder Lana McMullen’s anthem about living with chronic pain and receiving ongoing surgeries in a medical system that pushes patient experience to the back burner. Lyrically, McMullen alternates between the out-of-body experience of reliving past surgeries, stating, “I can see for miles, as the sheets turn red, and I’m in that bed,” and providing sardonic commentary on advice from former doctors and surgeons. In the verses, suspenseful pizzicato mimics McMullen’s hours spent in the MRI machine preparing to hear her next diagnosis. Driving choruses follow, reflecting the adrenaline and fear of lying on the surgery table, “staring at the ceiling” before being given anesthesia, and the screaming pain of crashing back into reality after the operation. The new single, “Alpine,” echoes the self-assured presence the band introduced in their first tracks, which Artist Home praised as “blending the introspecti...

Stream "Saturday Night" song by Universal Language feat. Grafik, 5VE, windchILL, Small Hands, & Jade Elise

With the regime of a 24/7 hustle and grind even the finest of emcees need a break. The video reenacts what that fun is for each emcee such as a single father dancing in the club but going home alone and sober, and rolling up L’s and spitting some verses. Whatever your Saturday night entails, “fly loose no matter the flight pattern.” The production of slight psychedelic undertones with strokes of bass sets the tone for a chill vibe and Saturday night preparations. Gadjet adds the perfect dose of mixes and scratches for house party invites.
