you’re not “dreaming”, this is savi minds

Savi Minds is the stuff of dreams. Literally, he’s bringing us “Dreaming” today. Just as the name implies, this brand new single is a sonic paradise that provides a getaway while you’re listening to it. Floating, moving, and filled with an ethereal sound, “Dreaming” will take your soul to new heights. Savi Minds (irl New Jersey native Mikale D’Andrea) is currently based in Los Angeles.

Says Mikale of his track: “’Dreaming’ is a powerful, down-tempo, and reverb drenched trip of a song; best experienced driving with the windows down.” He couldn’t be more correct. “Dreaming” is not only a joyride for the senses, but it also highlights his songwriting skills, with lines like “There’s endless music in my ears/my words are gone/I’m blissful in sound”. Every aspect of the song makes for an enjoyable listen. Nothing amazing is ever easy, and this track was not exception; it took plenty of time and hard work.

Referencing the time he spent in creating “Dreaming”, Mikale says,

When I’m really deep in a song, I sometimes lock myself in my room for days or weeks, really neglecting other parts of my life.  It’s easy to view the windows of my bedroom as the borders of my own world. Sometimes it’s a blissful experience to be in my own head, but it can be very lonely.

What are you waiting for? Treat your ears to “Dreaming”.

rivvrs, “let it die”

rivvrs, “let it die”

RIVVRS recently released their latest, “Let It Die”, a break-up track with a raw sound. The alt-rock track is composed of raspy vocals and intense lyrics such as “I’m gonna let it die” and “This time I didn’t pay no mind, to the song playing in my brain.”  While “Let It Die” is primarily seen as a break-up song, it takes a look at everything in life that you need to “let die”– not just love.

RIVVRS explains the track for us, stating: ” ‘Let it Die’ is a breakup song but it’s more so about that feeling of reaching your limit in life and you realize something needs to change.”

“Let It Die” remains an eye-opener for anyone in  need of a change.

Don Gallardo has just dropped a brand new track, “Oh Jane”, which will appear on his upcoming record, Still Here. Gallardo says of the single, “The narrator is in love with the person being bullied and comes to her side and suggests different ways to look at the situation with a positive manner.” Moving along an easy-going folk soundscape, Gallardo elicits feelings of sympathy and shared experience with this track. Highlighting carefully crafted instrumentation and lyricism, “Oh Jane” is anything but just another folk song. Gallardo clearly knows his sound, which is further honed in his forthcoming album.

Besides his own talented songwriting and vocals, Gallardo was accompanied by other skilled musicians to bring “Oh Jane” to life.

He says of the track:

We had Dave Roe and Bryan Owings lay down the foundation of drums and bass before we built on it. I tried numerous ideas for the guitar sound, but after sitting with Brent Mason I thought it would be nice to steer away from a country feel to a more folk-rock vibe. This song features Brent Mason on guitar. He has played with numerous performers such as Vince Gill, Chet Atkins, George Strait, Brad Paisley, and tons more. The song also features Joe Andrews from Old Crow Medicine Show on mandolin and Micah Hulscher from Margo Price band on organ. Travis Stock, Clint Maine, and I worked out the backing vocals for a few days before we recorded them. We wanted a Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers vibe for the background vocals.

Still Here will be released April 27, 2018. Stay connected with Don Gallardo: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram |
