Mamas Gun and Brian Jackson shines light on the truth on latest release “DIG!”
Mamas Gun makes a strong comeback with their new single “DIG!.” The track sounds more like a strong statement of intent than just a release. The UK band is known for its smooth blend of blue-eyed soul and traditional black music. They show once again that they can make music that sounds both thoughtful and very new, while still being real, emotional, and sophisticated.
“DIG!” was recorded directly onto analogue tape, and every note has warmth, grit, and soul. The production choice gives the music a rich, natural sound that complements the band’s unique groove. It is a piece of music that makes people slow down, really listen, and experience it rather than hear it.
Adding famous collaborator Brian Jackson, whose vocals, keyboard, and flute give the song a timeless elegance, adds even more depth and magic. Jackson is known for working with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Gil Scott-Heron, Roy Ayers, and Earth, Wind & Fire. His addition makes the song something truly special. His reunion with Andy Platts, the lead singer of Mamas Gun, almost twenty years after they first worked together creatively in New York, gives “DIG!” a very personal touch that can be felt throughout. “DIG!” sets a strong mood based on connection, art, and essence. Mamas Gun not only goes back to their roots but also makes them stronger. This song is heartfelt, timeless, and completely captivating.

DONELLI A.I. ENSEMBLE offers a jazz fusion and electronic atmosphere on “Previsioni del tempo incerto”
DONELLI A.I. ENSEMBLE unveils an 18-track album, “Weather Forecasts of Unknown Weather”, blending jazz fusion, world music, progressive rock, new age, and cinematic textures with sounds inspired by the 80s. The album is built on compositions made with keyboards, samplers, and DAW software, as well as collaborations with other musicians, which are then rearranged and reworked with the help of artificial intelligence. The process embeds technology directly into the creative fabric of the project.
The album opens with “Previsioni del tempo incerto”, which features trumpet and vocals with the rest of the ensemble, setting up the album’s blend of instrumental and vocal elements. “Villistas” is more dancey, with dreamy synths and layered compositions that create a lighter electronic atmosphere. The differences between these tracks show that the album is willing to move between genres rather than stay in a single fixed sonic category.
“Claudia” opens with a saxophone and the sweet presence of a jazz orchestra, adding a more traditional jazz colour to the album’s wider electronic and cinematic landscape. The quality of “Pigalle” continues to pull the listener in with its atmospheric approach and vocal effects. Together, these selections reveal the project’s oscillation between acoustic-inspired instrumental timbres and electronically shaped spaces.
The album closes with a softer track, “ninna nanna”, thanks to its gentle presence and composition. The positioning brings the stylistic range heard across the record to a peaceful close. “Previsioni del tempo incerto” is defined by its willingness to blend contrasting musical languages, jazz, world, prog rock, electronic production, cinematic atmosphere, and 80s-inspired textures into a single expansive project. That cross-genre approach, with AI-assisted reworkings as another element of the album’s evolving sound, is especially clear in the artistic direction of the DONELLI A.I. ENSEMBLE.

Mark Cee revisits the past and moving forward with new Album “Ghost Talk Show”
“Ghost Talk Show” by Mark Cee is a nine-track folk-rock and singer-songwriter album about memories, reflection, and the intricacies of looking back. The record’s acoustic and alternative folk roots lend it an intimate musical character, while the individual songs explore different emotional perspectives on home, memory, regret and moving forward.
The album opens with “Wish You Were Coming Home”, immediately setting the collection on a personal path. “Drifting Back Again” looks to the strange comfort of remembering times that were hard at the time, pointing to how memory can alter the emotional valence of past experience. That reflective quality is a natural part of the album’s broader folk-orientated approach, one where atmosphere and storytelling combine.
Another catchy moment arrives with “And Now The Rain Is Gone”, a track about the choice not to look back. It is an important counterpoint to the rest of the album, which is steeped in memory. Earlier songs may explore the past, but this one suggests the possibility of moving beyond it.
The album’s closer, “Don’t Buy Gas Station Gummies”, takes the album into a more unique rock setting with its catchy electric guitar. That alteration gives the ending a different energy but still within the eclectic folk-rock framework of the record. “Ghost Talk Show” by Mark Cee is a balancing act, combining electric-texture moments with acoustic songwriting across nine tracks that move between recollection and release. The most interesting thing about it is the way its songs touch on memory from different angles, allowing the album to feel less like a single statement and more like a conversation with the past.
