Review: Houston, Texas based singer-songwriter Alex Riddle has amazing vocals which soar in and out of falsetto as he shares the lyrics of these well-crafted tunes. The mixture of studio and live recordings sets this artist apart from his peers, and gives both an example of what he can do in the studio as well as a taste of what his live performances are like. His opening number, which is the title track, soars high and is getting a lot of attention from both the public and critics alike. We think this young man has a lot to offer and look forward to many more amazing albums from him in the future.
Recommendation: You should definitely Get this one and add it to your favorites.

Publicist: ABIK Radio Promotions
Review: Deb Ryder is riding the blues charts with her hard-hitting blues guitar and a sound very reminiscent of Bonnie Raitt. Her strong and gritty voice is the perfect complement to her intricate and exciting blues guitar, and her songs will leave a lasting impression on your senses. We plead “Temporary Insanity” because we love her “Nothin to Lose” style which truly “Brings the Walls Down.” We have nothing but “Sweet Sweet Love” for Ryder’s music, and we are truly “Forever Yours.” As we say “Goodbye Baby,” we strongly encourage you to “Enjoy the Ride.”
Recommendation: This one is a no-brainer – you simply MUST Get this one!
Artist Name: Paul McDonald
Album Name: Modern Hearts
Label: Self-released
Genre: Singer-Songwriter Pop/Rock
Track Listing: 1. New Lovers; 2. Hold On; 3. Wildcard; 4. Call on Me; 5. Modern Hearts; 6. How Long?; 7. So Much Better; 8. Once You Were Mine; 9. Tell me Something; 10. Come On; 11. Caging a Songbird; 12. Stay Home; 13. Always on my Mind; 14. I Ain’t Good
Publicist: Right Angle PR
Review: Paul McDonald has a very unique voice that is reminiscent of Bob Dylan, with a very strong pop/rock vibe. They soar on the wings of the incredible band he has assembled for the project, and never let you down. These songs belong on the radio, and would do quite well in a Top 40 format. We hear potential hits in many of these songs, especially “Hold On,” “Wildcard,” “Call on Me,” “How Long?,” “Once you Were Mine” (which reminds us of some of the best Van Morrison hits), and “I Ain’t Good.”
Recommendation: You simply need this one in your library. Get it today!
Artist Name: Nils Frahm
Album Name: Encores 1
Label: Erased Tapes Records
Genre: Instrumental
Track Listing: 1. The Roughest Trade; 2. Ringing; 3. To Thomas; 4. The Dane; 5. Harmonium in the Well
Publicist: Worldwide Friendly Society Communications
Review: Acoustic, soothing, harmonious, uplifting – these words and more describe the music of Nils Frahm on his latest outing. You can almost feel the tension in your body float away as you sit back and relax to these soothing sounds. The piano is just perfect for this type of meditative media, and we think that every chiropractor and massage therapist should have this album in their catalog. Make sure you give yourself enough time to fully wake up after listening, because we are sure you will want to stay in a blissful state for quite a while,
Recommendation: If you love instrumental music, and music for relaxation, then this is the perfect addition to your library. But beware, large doses will encourage a long nap.
