Brother and The Hayes tune into soulful memories with new single “Radio Waves”
Texas sibling duo Brother and The Hayes strike a gorgeous balance between intimacy and reflective longing on their new single “Radio Waves.” With David Bingaman on guitar and Jennie Hayes Kurtz providing casually soulful vocals, this track buzzes with the sort of warmth that simultaneously feels intimate and classic, like finding a love letter that’s been stashed in a vinyl sleeve. A brother-sister act from Dallas, the siblings were marinated in a stew of musical idioms, from gospel-laced choirs to blues standards.
The diversity of that foundation shines through in “Radio Waves,” where David’s guitar work pays polite homage to the Texas blues legends he holds dear, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Lightnin’ Hopkins, while Jennie Hayes’ voice soars with the clarity and control of one who cut her teeth in choirs but didn’t shed the spirit of real feeling in the process. “Radio Waves” is a love song and a time capsule, evoking the magic of turning on a late-night station and hearing a song that hits you like a fist. There’s a sweet ache woven into the melody, an evocation of the unsaid connections and memories that music evokes unbidden. The production is minimal. Every note, every breath, feels intentional, feels organic, feels human. This is storytelling of the gentlest kind. The lyrics tend to stick to the simple and let the emotional texture do the heavy lifting.
For Brother and The Hayes, less is more, and in the emptiness is where listeners are encouraged to feel deeply, reflect, and remember. “Radio Waves” is simply too down to earth for that. It shoots for the heart, offering a song that is homey, that is, memory, the sound of something that has always been playing softly in the background of our lives. Brother and The Hayes are choosing to make their own with tunes that are steeped in family, feeling, and simply undeniable craft. “Radio Waves” shows they are transmitting something special.

The tune of “A Song for My Friends” is a toast, and it’s clear what the band wants. A party for the people who have been there since the beginning, the fans who keep coming back, and the nights that artists will never forget that remind them why they fell in love with music in the first place.

Michael Soul hides from being open with new release “Hiding”
Michael Soul’s new single, “Hiding,” is a dark, hypnotic electronic track that takes listeners to a private place in their minds where they are alone, thinking, and feeling upset. “Hiding” was written when the author was very lonely. Michael Soul turns days of being alone, when silence seemed to last forever, and connection seemed impossible, into an immersive sound.
Andrea Mastroiacovo’s polished work makes the single even better, clarifying and deepening the song’s dark mood. The production carefully reflects that emotional weight with simple textures and dark electronic sounds that make you feel like you’re alone with your thoughts.
“Hiding” is a song about feeling alone, scared, and wanting to hide from being open. It asks questions that are quiet but sharp, like why do we hide what we feel? How does fear ruin love? And can we stop going in circles of misunderstanding and emotional distance? These echoes linger long after the track ends, prolonging the sound.
