We Talk About Music

There's a kind of record that feels less like a collection of songs and more like a conversation with a trusted old friend — honest, unhurried, soulful. Turning Magic On Its Heels, the latest full-length from Atlanta's own Graham and The Band Upstairs, is exactly that. It's a record that, in the best tradition of Americana's great storytellers, captures life's tender, restless, and triumphant moments with disarming clarity and warmth.Led by singer-songwriter Graham Waldrop, the band has long been a beloved fixture of the Southern Americana scene. With this record, they've delivered what feels like the culmination of years of playing smoky bars, front porches, and late-night festival stages — a collection of songs that wear their influences proudly while forging a distinctly personal identity.

With the imminent release of her latest single “Kiss,”  Isabella Chiarini breathes new life into her 2020 track “Kissing the Good Times Goodbye,” transforming it into a vibrant, dance-infused anthem just in time for summer. This remix not only showcases Chiarini's evolution as an artist but also her commitment to exploring diverse sounds within the pop genre.

Imagine if Eddie Van Halen and Rahzel had a musical lovechild, and you might get somewhere close to Beatbox Jake's jaw-dropping solo effort, Dichotomy—a relentless, high-octane fusion of shred guitar wizardry and next-level vocal percussion. Clocking in at 53 minutes across 12 tracks, this album is a one-man sonic demolition derby—a bold, genre-defying statement that cements Jake as a musical innovator.It's easy to throw around words like “innovative” and “unique,” but Dichotomy actually earns them. Every single sound on this album—every drum hit, every bass groove, every searing guitar solo—comes from one person. There's no drum machine here; Jake's mouth percussion is so tight, so textured, and so powerful that it rivals a full kit. At the same time, his guitar playing is absolutely unhinged—a thrilling mix of technical shredding, bluesy grit, and metal ferocity. It's the kind of playing that makes musicians stop mid-conversation and ask, Who is this guy?

In the ever-evolving landscape of underground hip-hop, few artists manage to blend raw emotion with theatrical flair as effectively as Klep. Emerging from Michigan's vibrant scene, Klep's sophomore album, Chatter in the Skull, offers a compelling exploration of overthinking and internal conflict, all wrapped in a soundscape that's as haunting as it is captivating.​

Michelle Fabre has long been a force in the indie pop scene, but with her latest single, “Never Goodbye,” she dials down the sparkle and lets the soul shine through. Known for her glossy production and dynamic vocal range, the Long Island native now delivers something achingly intimate—a heartfelt tribute that captures the essence of grief and the quiet resilience of love lost.

Angel Dweh is not just an artist—he's a force. When we sat down with him to talk about his latest project, Scorpio EP Delights, and his upcoming music film, I quickly realized that his passion for storytelling extends far beyond the studio. Dweh, a Liberian-American singer, songwriter, and actor, is an artist on a mission—to create, innovate, and push the boundaries of Afrobeat, R&B, and cinematic storytelling. His new EP and film are both testaments to that vision, brimming with originality, energy, and an undeniable sense of purpose.

Wildcat Hawkins isn't here to follow the rules. With a title as explosive as Don't Mind the Sellout Train When I Dynamite the Tracks, the 2024 single from the boundary-pushing artist is anything but conventional. Stripped down yet deeply evocative, the piece is pure, unfiltered piano improvisation—lush, expressive, and brimming with emotion. It's not just a song; it's an experience that unfolds moment by moment, as unpredictable and mesmerizing as the rainstorm that set the scene for its accompanying music video.

Some artists write songs, and some bleed them onto the track. With RED TO BLACK AND BLUE, lilqueen—born Tayler in Hattiesburg, Mississippi—delivers his most personal and cathartic release yet. A defiant anthem of moving on, the single isn't just about heartbreak; it's about reclaiming one's sense of self after enduring the weight of past experiences. With a genre-blurring sound that fuses trap beats, rock intensity, and alternative pop sensibilities, lilqueen proves that his music is not just a form of self-expression—it's a lifeline.

Brixton-born rapper Political Peak kicks off the new year with "Make It," a powerful, high-energy hip-hop anthem that is equal parts introspective and motivational. The track, recorded in a studio setting alongside his trusted team, showcases a fresh side of Peak's artistry—one that leans into intricate lyricism while maintaining his signature raw energy.

Josh Westover is no stranger to introspection, but on Songs of Reflection, his latest five-song EP, he turns that gaze deeper than ever before. Known for his indie/alt-rock sensibilities and DIY ethos, Westover wears his influences—Radiohead, Muse, Coldplay, Massive Attack, and Pink Floyd—proudly on his sleeve, yet molds them into something uniquely his own. The result is an atmospheric, deeply personal record that balances melancholy with hope, darkness with light, and raw emotion with meticulous production.

Rapper lilqueen continues to delight his listeners with surprises, revealing himself with a new side in his new track “Ghost in My Bed”, which is like an emotional journey through heartbreak and the haunting memories of lost love. Breaking away from his signature sound, this track showcases a raw, introspective side of the artist, blending elements of Rap, Alternative Pop, and Hip-Hop into a vibe that resonates deeply with anyone navigating the aftermath of a breakup.

With his ambitious debut, Voice of One Crying in the Wilderness, Valley of Salt has delivered a progressive rock opera that feels both timeless and cutting-edge.

Isabella Chiarini is a name you'll want to remember, and her latest single, “Gotta Be,” cements her place as one of Canada's most exciting emerging pop artists. With masterful production, introspective songwriting, and a chorus that practically demands to be sung at the top of your lungs, “Gotta Be” is a radiant blend of pop sensibility and emotional depth. In our above interview with Isabella, she opened up about the inspiration behind “Gotta Be.” For her, the song represents a journey of self-discovery and reflection, a theme that resonates strongly in both the lyrics and the musicality. Co-written with Teresa Nocita and Brian Melo, the 2007 Canadian Idol winner, the track is as much about personal empowerment as it is about connection. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wewriteaboutmusic/support
