Jessica Wicken - The Curse Country, Folk Rock CO, US Overall Impression: Singer/songwriter Jessica Wicken serves up lighthearted and humorous country-folk, with her upcoming release of "The Curse". This mostly acoustic track takes a playfully exaggerated look at the frustration brought on by a messy purse, elevating it to a comedically supernatural level. Wicken delivers jocular verses in a relaxed half-spoken, half-sung folk style that audiences will find charming and affable, describing her ill-fated handbag with hilarious precision set to a lively two-step beat. "The Curse" should appeal to both country and folk music audiences, thanks to its down-to-earth, rustic sound, along with humorously relatable subject matter. Strongest Point(s): Decent production and mix. Nice lively vamp. The borrowed Ab makes it stand out it from a common chord progression, gives it an almost Jim Croce "Leroy Brown" quality. Great little reel-style ...

Astronaut SHE - My Gun Dance/Electronica US Overall Impression: Astronaut SHE’s “My Gun” arrives not as a conventional track, but more as a narratively cryptic transmission from a liminal space where humanity, early-era programming, and blockchain technology intersect. True to the project’s ethos—“the convergence of Human, programming invented in the 1960s, and blockchain technology, streamed and minted as a unique NFT”—the artist’s anonymity becomes part of the experience. Across its runtime, “My Gun” remains in a constant state of metamorphosis: expanding, retracting, reconfiguring. It’s a track that invites the listener to surrender to its momentum, accepting the unpredictability as part of the immersive journey. Strongest Point(s): Across its sprawling 7 minutes and 12 seconds, the track boldly refuses the gravitational pull of typical pop or dance structures. Instead, it navigates through continually shifting textures, contrasting styles, and sonic exper...
