Sophia Mengrosso doses listeners with raw emotion in powerful new single “Medicate Me”
Sophia Mengrosso comes with another captivating single, “Medicate Me,” proving once again why rock and roll will never die. Taken from her new album Unforgiven, this track is visceral, sharp, haunting, and unapologetically raw. From the first guitar riff, “Medicate Me” shakes you by the collar and never lets go.
Sophia’s voice slices through the heavy layers of instrumentation with a sharpness that carries vulnerability and defiance. Every note has a raw ache, and it seems like she’s lived every lyric she sings. It’s the performance that insists on it. From top to bottom, the song teeters above a tightrope groovier than your average modern alternative track, following the grind of classic rock.
Enormous drums and distorted guitars drive the song, and the overall vibe is very dark, which provides the perfect base for Sophia’s intense vocal delivery. It’s both cathartic and chaotic, and the ideal soundscape for anyone who has ever sought the means to numb the chaos inside their head. The single, “Medicate Me,” is about the urge and desire for an escape, for anything, to cut through the constant white noise of existence. Sophia accomplishes flinching from the human heart’s dark places. She plunges headlong into them, providing no easy answers, only the harshness of truth. It’s fresh air to hear an artist strip everything bare like this, without polish or pretense.
The single, “Medicate Me,” cuts through like the heart of the record, raw, relentless, and rhythmic. For die-hard rock fans in a universe of overproduced anthems, Sophia Mengrosso is the real deal. If you’re prepared to feel something, “Medicate Me” is the track to press play on. Sophia Mengrosso is writing anthems for the bruised, the broken, and the beautifully defiant.

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.
