Furry Squirrel - Walking Contradiction Rock CA, US Overall Impression: Rock band Furry Squirrel struts their stuff with the release of Walking Contradiction. A light-hearted stomp, this Rock tune takes clear inspiration from the early 90's and keeps that spirit alive. It kicks off with an enticing drum and bass groove before the guitars and harmonica join in for a wildly good jam. No moment is wasted in sparking that open-air festival nostalgia that so many listeners long for. The lyrics describe a fella who, by the lamest accounts, is the manifestation of classic contradictions. While the digs are simple, these lyrics are given a terrifically catchy melody that makes the chorus an instant ear worm. As the tune carries on, guitar solos rip through the air with an unbridled quality. They add to the already care-free yet controlled characteristics of the song that make Walking Contradiction by Furry Squirrel such a fun and solid listen. Strongest Point(s): ...

Matt Johnson - For Good Jazz US Overall Impression: There’s something quietly courageous about taking on “For Good”—a song so emotionally embedded in modern musical theatre—and stripping it back to a single instrument. Yet in his intimate piano interpretation of the Stephen Schwartz composition, performer and composer Matt Johnson does exactly that, and in doing so reveals new dimensions within the music’s already luminous heart. Best known from the Broadway phenomenon Wicked, “For Good” has long carried an innate tenderness.
