Son Stone serves soul and memories in new single “Old Fashioned”
Son Stone’s new single, “Old Fashioned,” is a smooth sip of memories mixed in a soulful groove, a song that sounds like it’s been in your life forever yet lands with the freshness of the never-before. In this recording, Son Stone achieves a blend of traditional and contemporary music that fits just perfectly. “Old Fashioned” beckons listeners into a room where memories swirl like ice in a lowball glass. The backing instrumentation is lush and natural, a rhythm section that throbs with subtle confidence.
“Old Fashioned” impresses with its clever literal manipulations on the drink’s name and phenomenological dives into the depths of connection, longing and the kind of love that stays with you like an old favorite record. The words are not quite sad but affectionate for something that’s gone as an image dimmed around the edges. What’s unique about “Old Fashioned” is the ease with which it occupies two worlds. It could slot in comfortably next to soul classics without missing a beat, but there’s something undeniably contemporary about the production, the emotional clarity.
Stone’s “Old Fashioned” delivers an equally good performance. His vocal delivery is lived-in and earnest-sounding, he’s someone recounting a story they know by heart. There are no vocal acrobatics here, it’s about tone, control and emotion. In “Old Fashioned,” Son Stone offers a pocket of time. It’s listening to memories without regret, a way of letting the past breathe in the present. Whether you’re sipping a drink or contemplating just your thoughts, this is a track to spin again.

Jeff Vidov elevates orchestral rock ambition on latest release “Signs of Life”
Jeff Vidov returns with “Signs of Life,” a powerful new single that reflects the depth of his compositional experience while embracing the expansive energy of a summer rock anthem. Marking his sixteenth musical release, the Canadian-born pianist and composer blends the grandeur of a full orchestra with the driving spirit of rock, creating a piece that feels equally at home in the concert hall and on the silver screen.
