In this edition of LITM Singer-Songwriter Picks, we feature three reflective releases from PlanG, Bob Gemmell, and The Patti Spadaro Band.
PlanG - My Little City
My Little City is a warm, beautiful, and evocative release about one’s reflections on their city. PlanG renders a vivid image of the place and feelings both through the emotive musical backdrop and the poignant lyricism. A graceful, gentle sway of tunes made of contemplative piano chords, bright acoustic strums, and smooth sax melodies caresses your ears, soothing and stirring your soul. The vocals, mature and earthy, anchors the music to heartfelt, sincere melodic expressions, each word soaked in a quality of nostalgia, soft feeling, and longing. The folk, acoustic, country infusions blend seamlessly, forming a soundscape that immerses you in the world of emotion and story that the artist has created, one that will linger in your mind long after the last notes fade.

Bob Gemmell - Lesson Number Two
Lesson Number Two is a deeply introspective and profound release from Bob Gemmell featuring artists Lee Takasugi, Johnny McGuire, and JeffyD. Rooted in the aesthetics of the American West, the music rings with warm twangs of cow-punk, gritty riffs of rock, and the soulful melodies of country, americana. The track is ever-evolving, opening with a somber, melancholic sound of acoustic guitars, keys, and passionate vocals. It then transforms into a gently beating, growing being of melody and rhythm, with thumping drums, radiant riffs, and expressive vocals. The pace then shifts quickly, to a galloping beat, upbeat guitars, and emphatic vocals, oscillating between the up-tempo and the tender moments. You get the slow, steady and groovy all in one soundscape. It is engaging and evocative. Listen to Lesson Number Two by Bob Gemmell here!
The Patti Spadaro Band - Glass Shatters
Experience soulful blues in the warm, comforting soundscapes of The Patti Spadaro Band. Glass Shatters is a heartfelt, powerful, vibrant song, with virtuoso, fluid-guitar melodies, luminous riffs, breezy drums, earthy bass lines, and the arresting vocals of the singer. With a vital message and invigorating music, this song will instantly stir your soul. Smooth, exquisite guitar solos embellish the sound, adding intrigue and dynamism to the sound, complementing the soaring and falling vocals of the singer that is enveloped in lush layers of harmonies. The guitars and the vocals form the body and soul of the song, infused with power, passion, and sincerity. The lyricism, eloquent and honest, is a social commentary on women, a call for change and growth, and most importantly, an empowering anthem for all women to never give up.
