Simon Linsteadt

Simon Linsteadt’s latest single, “Gravitron,” mixes pop and classical in a way that totally draws you in and takes you on an emotional ride. Dropped on October 8, 2023, this track shows Linsteadt growing as an artist, trying new things and open to working with others to make music in unconventional ways.

In “Gravitron,” Linsteadt’s musical skill is beautifully complemented by a recent idea from his girlfriend to add an electric guitar, showing he is open to different influences. Linsteadt is known as a singer-songwriter and also a filmmaker. His awesome collaborations and openness give “Gravitron” a soul-stirring quality that tugs at the audience’s heartstrings.

Throughout the song, there’s this magnetic charm that’s more than just the melody itself. There’s an intimate theme woven into the catchy tune, a trip through childhood memories of a county fair in Northern Cali. This undercurrent of emotions blended smoothly into the song makes for a touching experience for listeners.

Linsteadt’s creative approach to producing music really comes through with the organic elements he uses. From field recordings of different places and new ways of recording like capturing vocals late at night in Cornwall with a Zoom recorder. By breaking out of traditional methods, he’s freed up to make music in a more relaxed eclectic way. Its a refreshing take on creating songs.

This song, “Gravitron” by Simon Linsteadt, is really unique. He combines electric guitar, drums, and accordion in an interesting way. The accordion makes it sound nostalgic. Linsteadt messed around with recordings of street musicians playing accordion to get those sounds. It’s cool that he’s trying new things instead of just doing the normal stuff you hear over and over.

Overall, this song shows that Linsteadt has a lot of creativity and talent. Even though the melody is sad, the textures he uses are really pretty. This track deserves a spot on any music lover’s playlist. And it makes me excited to see what else Linsteadt might do in the future. He has really made his mark and done something new in music. If he keeps making immersive, unforgettable sounds like “Gravitron,” Linstead’s name is gonna be huge before long.

Get ready for a nostalgic yet innovative musical journey with “Gravitron.” This song gives a sneak peek at the awesome music Simon Linsteadt has up his sleeve.

KENTON journeys through family, identity and healing in “Sweetmouth (Sugar Free)” (EP)

KENTON

“Sweetmouth (Sugar Free)” is an extremely reflective acoustic EP that guides you through its six tracks as it explores memory, identity, and emotional reconciliation. Created at a moment of deep discovery, the project reveals KENTON’s process of forgiving others, of realizing who he is within himself, and of internally processing what he experienced as a queer Asian American child growing up in the United States.

The EP opens with “I’m Breaking My Father’s Heart – Acoustic,” a gentle track about the disconnection between what parents desire and what you believe is true. “Never Born – Acoustic” is inward-looking, exploring the existential uncertainty of financial suffering at home and prayers that hang in the air, unanswered.

“Let Light In – Live” is a release that captures emotional awakening, where letting go of past pain is the first step toward recovery. “Without You – Acoustic” is one of the most affecting moments on the EP, which recounts a tough relationship with a sick father. “Wannabe American – Acoustic” laments the falseness of the American Dream and how it commodifies the Asian identity.

On the final song, “The Times – Acoustic,” KENTON directs strength toward a message of survival, hope, and endurance in an emotionally suffocating world. “Sweetmouth (Sugar Free)” is also the voice of the collective, and it’s a gift to immigrant and queer youth searching for belonging in spaces that often do not welcome them.

Terrell Journey rewinds emotion and identity in cinematic EP “Retrograde”

Terrell Journey

The new reflective R&B EP, “Retrograde” by Terrell Journey, transports us back to the emotional origins of his Journey Digital Supercharged universe. It’s a cinematic prequel defined by tension, clarity, and artistic reinvention. 

As a prequel to the famed Journey Digital Supercharged collection, it builds on Terrell Journey’s vision of a musical universe with separate but connected story worlds beneath that umbrella in the Journey Digital Saga. This project is a shift in point of view, and “Retrograde” examines the moments before acceleration, the tension and clarity that happens before everything moves forward.

The EP’s opening track, “Me vs Me,” invites introspection and sets the stage for the project. “Tit 4 Tat” sharpens the tension, while “We Listen and Don’t Judge” creates a space cleared by honesty and emotional control. “Run A Boston” feels fast and intentional, harnessing the force of movement before the EP enters what is its most personal closing stretch.

“Steal Your Heart” is a melodic peak that combines emotional tug with elegant R&B textures. “Love” closes the EP on a warm, resonant note that sounds resolved and open-ended. “Retrograde” expands Terrell Journey’s kaleidoscopic world by making introspection a narrative, and it serves as a crucial link between reflection and the forward momentum of Journey Digital Saga.
