Adam De Lucia’s “Will You Follow?” dares you to look beyond the screen
In a world where everyone seems to be competing for attention, Adam De Lucia’s new single, “Will You Follow?”, stands out as not only a catchy tune. It’s a thought-provoking piece that blends modern jazz influences with deep philosophical questions. This isn’t just another song you’d hear on repeat. With few words but rich meaning, “Will You Follow?” cleverly uses irony. You can hear this in the way Michael Ghegan sings, subtly challenging listeners instead of just performing. His flute and saxophone add layers to the music, like hints that encourage you to dig deeper.
On one level, the song takes a jab at the absurdities of social media, where “following” often feels superficial. But if you listen closely, the message is even more serious. This is a cheeky critique and a powerful reflection on important global issues like climate change and economic instability. It also prompts listeners to think, “Do you really know who or what you’re following?” Chrissi Poland adds beautiful vocals that give the song emotional depth. Tim Lefebvre’s electric bass lays down a strong foundation, while Henry Hey’s keyboards and synthesizers create a shimmering atmosphere. Joe Gullace’s trumpet adds a tense energy, giving the song a dynamic feel as it moves between quieter and more intense moments.
What makes “Will You Follow?” exceptional is the talented musicians involved and the overall tone of the piece. It’s playful yet pointed, engaging, and sincere. Each musician contributes not only to showcase their skills but also to enrich the conversation within the music. By the time the song comes to an end, you’re left not just humming a tune but also pondering a lingering question. With this release, Adam De Lucia reminds us that great music challenges our minds. And it might even make you think twice about what you’re following.

Album Review
Mary Knoblock’s “Peach” album is a tender journey through love, loss, and rebirth
Mary Knoblock’s new album, “Peach,” is a deeply emotional and cinematic world of sound, blending Americana folk, neo-classical dream pop, and storytelling into something intimate. The album is nine songs and just under forty-six minutes, with the feeling of a performance where every scene holds tenderness, heartbreak, longing, and quiet transformation.
“Peach” is inspired by the idea of emotional rebirth and welcomes you with warmth and honesty. Each track is a tender clutch of textures, poetic emotion, and experimental beauty. Her voice and compositions are finely tuned for a strength that makes every moment intimate and alive.
“Mustang Clover” is a free, contemplative track, while “Metal Neon Sky” is a luminous, mysterious, and desirable emotional landscape. The title track, “Peach,” is warm, tender, and exposed, and in a deeply heartfelt way, captures the emotional heart of the album. “Mother’s Eyes” is a piece of emotional depth and memory, and one of the most intimate moments of the project. The album continues with the quiet emotional weight of lead single “I Knew You,” graceful and restrained, balancing love and loss.
“Of The Alpine” evokes a drifting, cinematic sense of lonely isolation that is beautiful and lonely. “Maybe Tomorrow” is a lively, ambiguous song, while “Peach – Blue Grass” is a reimagination of the emotional heart of the album from a more rootsy perspective. “Mustang Clover – Deluxe” continues the reflective spirit of the opening track and adds emotional texture. “Peach” reveals Mary Knoblock as an artist not afraid to expose truth through sound, emotion, and imagination.
