“Stop Waving the Gun” by Eddie Cohn stirs a soulful plea for empathy to disarm
Eddie Cohn doesn’t hold back as he crafts a compelling yet optimistic composition, “Stop Waving the Gun,” a searing anthem that cuts straight to the heart of America’s complicated connection with gun culture and demands urgency and soul. The Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist’s latest single delivers an emotional gut punch, articulating the frustration and desperation many feel today with society’s growing desensitization towards violence. Through lyrics that encourage a reevaluation of societal attitudes on how we treat life, Cohn’s vocal delivery underscores the significance of his heartfelt message, drawing comparisons reminiscent of esteemed grunge-inspired artists, such as Eddie Vedder and Layne Staley.
The song features thunderous drums by Jake Reed and sweeping orchestral strings from Philip Peterson, building a dramatic sonic landscape reflecting its themes’ intensity. Brett Farkas’ electric guitar work, paired with Sean Hurley’s bass, creates a beautiful tension that pulls at your emotions, while Cohn’s acoustic guitar and poignant singing bring everything together. The track, recorded across Los Angeles with help from Seattle’s music scene, merges organic rock elements with the unique urgency of its plea, making it a powerfully memorable impression that stays with listeners long after the final chord fades.
The production is impeccable, with Kevin Penner’s mix and master highlighting every intricate layer. There’s an almost palpable tension within each beat and strum, capturing the fragility of the subject matter. Cohn’s mix of vulnerability and passion shines through in every note of lyrics, inviting listeners to lean in, truly feel the gravity of gun violence, and consider empathy an alternative weapon. “Stop Waving the Gun” doesn’t just critique; it invites reflection on the sanctity of human life and the desperate need for deeper understanding.
“Stop Waving the Gun” stirs the soul and sparks contemplation, a true reflection of our times. It reminds the audience of the power of music to evoke change and instill compassion. Cohn’s brave artistry calls listeners to confront our turmoil unapologetically with open hearts and minds.

Leyla Romanova finds strength in silence on new release “Self-Control”
Leyla Romanova‘s new single, “Self-Control,” is a powerful emotional release that feels more like a manifesto for surviving modern chaos than a song. In a world of opinions, urgency, and emotional exhaustion, Romanova offers a track based on one radical idea: not reacting.
“Self-Control” immediately creates tension and clarity. The drums keep everything together with discipline and purpose. As the textured instrumentals expand like waves of thought through a crowded mind, the bass anchors the listener emotionally.
The contrast between outside noise and inside stillness makes the song compelling. Romanova’s work captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by pressure, opinions, and distractions while silently retaining personal peace. There are no major uprisings. But restraint is power. The song knows energy conservation is a survival strategy.

J’mall expresses the pain of chasing someone else’s success over your own on “Unattainable”
J’mall’s latest single, “Unattainable,” expresses the pain of chasing someone else’s success over your own. The song explores the emotional void caused by constant comparison rather than motivation.
“Unattainable” is about realizing that no matter how hard one works to meet others’ expectations, the reward will never be satisfying. J’mall explores the stress of “keeping up with the Joneses” and the exhaustion of comparing yourself to standards that weren’t meant for you.
The song’s honesty resonates, the message doesn’t feel preachy or polished. It feels personal, like J’mall is sharing life lessons. The record’s quiet strength is its embrace of individuality and personal responsibility without pretending it’s easy.
