Read MoreOne of the most consistently fascinating things about JJ's Music Retaliation is how unpredictable the project has become.

Read MoreSince the first time we reviewed them, there has always been something charming about Lost on the Metro that goes beyond the music itself. Maybe it’s the fact that the band grew organically out of a marriage, with two teachers accidentally discovering they could write songs together after two decades of life experience already lived side by side. Maybe it’s the wonderfully human makeup of the group itself including educators, old friends, a former student turned bassist, even a drummer who also runs a pasta-making company.

Read MoreLeyla Romanova’s “SELF-CONTROL” doesn’t unfold like a traditional electronic single even in the slightest. It moves more like a psychological thriller rendered entirely through sound, each beat tightening the atmosphere until the track feels less like music and more like stepping into the pulse of a machine.

Read MoreAt only 19 years old, Kenya Reese already writes with the weathered clarity of someone who has lived a dozen lives. “Carry On Cowboy” is not just another modern country ballad trying to chase cinematic sadness.
