“Let’s Try Again” by Attom Darcy Blvd revives a soulful nostalgia
As the creative force behind the project Attom Darcy Blvd from Los Angeles, Mick (Matt Carmody) delivers a soulful tribute to the golden era of classic soul with R&B sensitivity that feels like a shimmering love letter with their debut single new, “Let’s Try Again,” offering a breath of fresh air. The seamless blend of electronic beats with the dynamic spirit of legends like Otis Redding and the timeless magic of Etta James creates a captivating mix of old-school charm with a warm embrace of contemporary flair, evoking a sense that is both nostalgic and refreshingly current.
The song begins with a warm, heart-tugging intro reminiscent of Stax Records’ iconic sound, instantly whisking listeners into a world where raw emotion meets exquisite craftsmanship. Mick’s soul-stirring performance and aching vocals are drenched in passion, conveying the weight of every lyric. It’s a song about giving love a second chance, representing a sense of rebirth and redemption with a palpable energy when everything feels broken. The infectious hook of heartache draped in brass sections, the chorus pleads, “Let’s try again; let’s make this right,” resonating long after the song fades out.
Joe Cruz’s (Carly Rae Jepsen) crisp production is stunningly clean yet rich in vintage harmonies, allowing every instrument to shine. The masterful touch to the mix by Josh Gudwin, known for his incredible work with Dua Lipa and Justin Bieber, strikes a perfect balance of retro influences with a polished yet intimate contemporary sheen. Recorded at the legendary NRG Studios in North Hollywood and mixed at Henson Studios, the song exudes a bit of a stardust magical aura, evoking echoes of the past legends who’ve graced these halls.
What truly sets this beautiful song apart is its heartfelt simplicity. With “Let’s Try Again,” Attom Darcy Blvd masterfully bridges the gap between eras, presenting soul music that makes the audience feel like the audience is sitting in a dimly lit, smoke-filled bar in the ’60s, swaying to the sound of heartbreak and hope. This track revisits a dynamic sound that never really went out of style, leaving listeners yearning, hopeful, and utterly captivated. “Let’s Try Again” is a must-list for those craving a little soul with their rhythm.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi
Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.
Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.
The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.
“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
