Camera2 – ‘Natalie’

March 24, 2021

The music video for NYC rock band Camera2’s latest single, ‘Natalie’, is as much a story in itself as a clip to accompany the song. Opening with a young boy riding his bicycle down a deserted country rode, there’s a deep sinister-ness about it all, despite his angelic face and the verdant forest. The boy drops his bike and runs into the forest, in such a sudden and deliberate moment that it’s immediately obvious that there’s something serious about to happen.

Alex Woodard – ‘Halfway’ 

March 24, 2021

Acclaimed singer songwriter Alex Woodard is as much at home with a pen in his hand as he is when he’s standing strumming behind a guitar. A storyteller at heart whose songs are right up there with Springsteen and Mellencamp, Woodard is also a published author, so when he reaches his limit lyrically, he’s able to step in with his books, with each reinforcing the other. His latest series of essays, ‘Living Halfway’, finds its musical equivalent in his song, ‘Halfway’, a fan favourite that the artist has been singing on tour for several years now. Paired with ‘Living Halfway’, the song takes on a deeper meaning.

Spring Is Here, And So We Ramp Up The Garden Adventures

March 23, 2021

Life…uh…finds a way. Out of nowhere it feels like winter has retreated to a seat out the back, and made room for spring to have its time in the spotlight. Sure, the weather isn’t super warm just yet, but if you’ve been following the weather forecast with any sort of focus (I have, because I am crocheting a “weather scarf” – more on that another time), you’ll definitely have noticed that the mornings aren’t quite so brisk, and the now sunlit evenings don’t also have that bone-chilling factor that makes you want to go back indoors pronto.

OBAS – ‘Hug The Streets’ ft. Rick Ross 

March 17, 2021

What do Haiti, and Danbury, Connecticut have in common? Well on the surface, not a lot. But dig deeper and you’ll see both are affected by racism, inequality, and injustice. Still based in Connecticut, rapper OBAS spent part of his childhood in Haiti, and his teen years in Danbury, and in his new single, ‘Hug The Streets’, featuring Rick Ross, he talks about his experiences, and draws parallels between what at first glance would seem to be two places poles apart.
