Music and its meaning are something different for every music artist, as many other things are, in life, for all of us.
Music also and often reflects our personalities, our moods, our roots, the places in our souls where we have been to and the ways we came out as, either winners or losers. Even when an artist's career would be on a high through the media, we would never be able to find out how that artist got there and what life path they have been through, until they decide to reveal it themselves to the rest of the world.

For quite some time, our website has been following the career of the American singer-songwriter Pamela Sue Mann, an artist that has made her mark by sculpting through the years a trademark sound that navigates between Ambient and Pop music, both as a solo artist and as part of parallel projects, to which Mann enjoys exploring even further her musical vision and performing theatricality with other fellow artists.
Towards the end of 2025, Mann decided to rejoin forces with Irish-born Electro-Ambient composer and producer PXMurphy, well known also for being half of the duo Electric Penguins, releasing an EP called Brave under the pseudonym Teanga Teanga, in a side project that was born back in 2023 that saw Teanga Teanga releasing a bunch of singles between 2023 and 2024.

There has not been, in the last 30 years of Rock and Roll, a music artist that has been capable to take Winter Holiday classics to the next level and transform them in precious little gems of Surf, Hard-Rock and Metal quite like the Boston Guitar Supremo and singer/songwriter Gary Hoey has been able to do so far in his remarkable career.
Through an experiment that was born back in 1995 and released the same year, called Ho! Ho! Hoey, where Gary Hoey decided to give a full instrumental Rock treatment to classics like Jingle Bells, White Christmas and Auld Lang Syne, among others, Hoey has started a rather successful tradition, in the last 3 decades, by touring the United States performing live shows made of sole Winter Holiday classics Hoey recorded.

One of the ultimate goals for an artist, any artist in any music genre, it is to create an emotional symmetry between said artist and a crowd, a concept that finds its application and validation solely through a life performance.
While this goal may be relatively easier to achieve in a large, noisy context such as an arena, with several thousands people clapping and singing to an artist or a band playing their biggest hits, to play for an audience of only 50 people instead and being able to take that crowd to join that artist on a musical journey, armed with only a grand piano and few sonic sketches on which to improvise on for an hour or so, that requests bags of pure talent.

Within the Blues/Rock business worldwide, there was a lot of trepidation about the release of Blood Brothers’ second album, especially given the exceptional amount of accolades received from fans of the genre and press, when their debut album was originally released in 2023.
A very successful side project of two contemporary giants of the genre, Mike Zito and Albert Castiglia, the project is a natural development of a personal and musical friendship between the two artists that has been going on for almost two decades, an artistic and human collaboration that, in time, brought the American guitarists and singer/songwriters to record an album together that would chisel even more their musical and personal bond.

Whenever there is a new record release coming from the Jazz-Latin-R&B inspired British sensation Matt Bianco, there is always an uplifting mood in the air.
A band that has topped the Top 10 charts of half the world, back in 1984, through the debut album called Whose Side Are You On?, Matt Bianco, originally a trio counting, in its line-up, keyboard player Danny White and vocalists Basia Trzetrzelewska and Mark Reilly, is now left with the sole Reilly running gloriously the band's name, after White and Trzetrzelewska left on their own accord.
