Alli Brown - “My Own Superhero”
Alli Brown is a Salt Lake City-based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose sound blends acoustic pop with subtle country influences — and on her latest single, “My Own Superhero”, she lays her voice bare, presenting a beautifully soulful performance with a subtle twist of country — with the bright, warm acoustic guitars that present a well-matured sound, and the groovy drumming that keeps the pulse of the song quite strong, there’s much to appreciate about the way this track comes together — blending this with a master that keeps the energy lively and expressive, and you have a winner of a track!

Paula Boggs Band - “Goo Goo Dolls”
Paula Boggs Band blends Americana and jazz into a unique sound they christen “Seattle-Brewed Soulgrass”, with elements of nu-jazz, experimental pop music, and blues influences; and on their latest single, “Goo Goo Dolls”, they bring a country twang to their conventional sound with the fiddles, creatively produced guitars in the background, and a sultry, engaging vocal performance that’s sure to charm. The percussion on this track is a particular standout with crispy highs and tight lows, and the execution is masterful overall. The energy of this track is lively and what makes it a winner, and you wouldn’t want to miss out. Take a listen to the track here!
Tai Shan - “My Station”
Nashville-based songwriter Tai Shan, acclaimed by Billboard and NPR, delivers moving, powerful music with emotive vocals and evocative harmonies — and on her latest single, “My Station”, she straps us in for a slow, swaying listen, journeying through the motifs and the harmonies that she’s delicately put together — and I’m glad to report that she pulls it off excellently! With poise in the atmosphere and passion in the melodies, this track spends no time waiting to charm us — from the lyrical themes to the simplistic, elegant expression, there’s much to love about just how nicely this song comes together, swinging to the melodies, and bringing a smile to your face.
