“Past Memories” by Rob Colm is a forgotten story that finds new life through generations
In a music world full of artificial sentimentality, Rob Colm brings something entirely new with his latest single, “Past Memories.” Lifted to superstardom by no less than his son, the track is something Colm doesn’t even properly remember writing. That taste alone endows the track with an oddball charm, a spirit of creative yore resurrected with fresh ears and new life. “This one was picked by my son. Didn’t even remember writing it!” Colm admits. There’s something quietly poetic about a song the artist himself had nearly forgotten surfacing now as a bridge between generations and possibly borders too.
“Past Memories” is now not the same because Rop doesn’t lean on what is generally on the formula that’s crowding the charts. The production is deliberately muted, a quiet backdrop to let the sentiment speak for itself. Not the sort that’s soaked with melodrama, at least. That is the sound of a moment being put back together by the person it seemed small to at the time but who came to change its weight and held tight to it. What makes “Past Memories” quietly powerful is that it’s music for those who seek connection over perfection and honesty over polish.
There’s no pretense here, only a story that came within a hair’s breadth of oblivion until someone proximate enough gave one damn to bring it back. In a time when having big streaming numbers or a viral moment often dictates musical relevance, Rob Colm clarifies that some of the most touching art comes from unplanned moments and unfiltered emotions. “Past Memories” reminds us that even the forgotten parts of ourselves can find significance and even music when we’d least suspect. On this release, Colm is offering up a sentiment that says the heart of music resides in the things we never meant to say and in the people who still help us say them.

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.

Bromsen crafts a suspension between attachment and release in new single “Concendrain”
Bromsen’s latest release, “Concendrain,” is very immersive and lives in the space between control and disintegration. The song smoothly shifts from focused to tired, from connected to free, and captures a complex emotional balance that is both personal and universal.
“Concendrain” starts slowly and carefully, the structure has layers that change over time, so each part can come out on its own without any stress or hurry. As time goes on, electronic textures begin to emerge, giving the music a mood that eventually turns into rock-infused energy. These different sounds don’t clash, they work together to create a track that is alive, fluid, and always changing.
The guitar, voice, and rhythm should all work together on the song. These parts don’t compete for attention; instead, they work together to make a smooth flow that pulls the listener into the song’s emotional depth. The arrangement features vocals that complement complex guitar lines and a steady beat that keeps everything in line.
“Concendrain” is really interesting because it has two sides. The track is about the fight in your head between giving up and pushing through, and between staying focused and giving in to tiredness. Bromsen and Reatsch work together to make something that looks natural and well-made. “Concendrain” doesn’t try to be cool or follow trends. Instead, it gives you a slow experience that you should really pay attention to. “Concendrain” is a powerful and thought-provoking work that sticks with you long after the last note has faded away. It stands out because its structure changes, its atmosphere is rich, and its emotions are strong.
