The Rightly So Combines The Feelings Of Nostalgia & Memories In Their Brand New Album Vandura

22 Sep

If you set your play button ready to fill your headphones with music from The Rightly So, the nomadic and expressive feeling that will emerge shortly after from their album Vandura should bring no surprise on how it was inspired. The band members spent the last year and half living out of their RV playing shows, singing songs, and living life as one big adventure. As you can imagine, being on the road has allowed this band to have a worldly view based on the experiences along the way, people they have encountered, and their perception of the world. When listeners hear their music, they will immediately think of The Weepies and even country undertones of the early days of Lee-Ann Rimes. With lyrics that draw on the day to day, there is a strong strength in their songs that has grit and angst. In the track, You Can Bet on Me, the lyrics “You can bet on me, we talked to 4 in the morning, oh lord how I missed your crooked smile” paints the pictures beautifully of characteristics of a person and a narrative as well. The captivating part about this duo is the level of authenticity they bring to their music. With that, the powerful visuals in the songs, and the light and traditional sounds of classic acoustic rock fill this album in all of its splendor.

Starry Sounds By Todd Warner Moore Epitomizes Americana Music

22 Sep

From the first strum of the guitar by Todd Warner Moore on his album called Starry Sounds, the feeling of the Americana way is throughout from start to finish. With the tracks cohesively uniting to form an impressive collection of work, Moore does not disappoint with the latest release. The stories ebb and flow between stories of reflecting and those of a wanderer. Hailing from Kansas City, Kansas, there is an undertone of that of an artist that one can sense in his music. A mixture of influences of the Folk, 60s, Gypsy and Latin Music, Moore makes sure to diverse his sound with the overall sound that he has carefully crafted. He has consistently been releasing music throughout his career, with 2019 being a productive year with the completion of four albums. With no song being a weak song on his album, the one that was definitely a standout is Starry Sounds. With the lyrics making reference to the moonlit beach and describing it as “an uprooted memory, left no trace” this paints a vision of whatever place that may be for the individual listening to the song, and not just a specific image. Moore allows the listener to dream up while hearing his songs the spaces and images that comes to mind. The entire album is not only strong instrumentally, but emotionally as well.

Lillimure Redefines A Collection of Work With Latest Set of Songs

27 Aug

Singer Lillimure will wow listeners who hear her for the first time. Her sound is not only raw and real, but it exudes truth. Conposing songs and being around music as long as she can remember, its no surprise that she would release her latest album, titling it appropriately Lillimure. Originally aiming to be a gymnast, a wrist injury changed the path of her life forever. Earlier this year, she released two other singles as part of an album collection, titled WDYTM and Something. People have been buzzing about her work she released it and we can anticipate only more creative works coming from Lillimure as she will begin attending The Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU in the Fall along with the musician’s grind of playing shows amongst New York’s bars and music halls. Her vocal styles are reminiscent of Regina Spektor meets Colbie Caillat and a dash of her unique voice. Often we see musicians put into a specific genre on the type of music that they flourish in and what the audience gravitates to. With Lillimure’s expression at the forefront and evolving state, its going to be hard for anyone to put her sound in a specific genre or vibe and close the door. And this for someone that has completed a strong collection of work? Not bad at all, its just the beginning.
