Jaden – ERYS (Album Review)

capture

“ERYS” is “SYRE” spelled backwards. “SYRE” is Jaden’s middle name and the title of his debut album. For some bizarre reason, I have a feeling “ERYS” will end up being “SYRE’s” evil shadow (OK, watching “US” before rating this album was a bad idea). (more…)

blackbear – ANONYMOUS (Album Review)

Capture

blackbear is such an intriguing artist. Musically, he straddles the line between pop and hip-hop quite a bit, and content-wise, he pours his heart out just as much as he speaks about some braggadocios s**t. In “ANONYMOUS,” his latest effort, the “do re mi” singer only pours his heart out, giving us a body of work that I truly believe will bring a tear to your eyes.” (more…)

With the release of “Free Spirit,” the El Paso singer/songwriter looks to continue his maturation process as an artist, doing everything he can to reach his peak without forgetting where he came from.
