Kaleb Thompson - Stay With Me
Christian/Gospel
SC, US

Overall Impression: Stay With Me is the newest release by Gospel artist Kaleb Thompson. Slow moving and containing a wealth of R&B stylings, this modern Gospel tune is easy on the ears and good for the soul. It captures the feelings and emotions of being at rock bottom and in need of a guiding light. The lyrics are brutally honest, and are sung with conviction and heart. While the verses tend to sit in the darkness, the choruses and bridge lunge forward with the awesome power of faith. It is in these moments that Stay With Me shines the brightest and blankets the listener with inspiration. All in all, when you are down in a rut, look up and listen to Stay With Me by Kaleb Thompson. You may just find the hope you have been looking for.

Strongest Point(s): The vocals are really excellent in this tune. They have that Gospel power that pulls the listener along and makes them want to jump to their feet. The energy picks up nicely as the song goes along, and each section is flowing well from one to another. But what most listeners will likely relate to is the lyrics. They are raw, honest, and very relatable.

Target Audience Appeal: Fans of Gospel and R&B will enjoy Stay With Me by Kaleb Thompson.

Artist target suggestions: CeCe Winans, Marvin Sapp, Amy Grant, Fred Hammond, David Crowder, Hillsong United, The Staple Singers, Anita Wilson, Mahalia Jackson, The Clark Sisters, Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Kirk Franklin

Center Stage Artist - Perico Hernandez

Image
Jose Caridad Hernandez , better known as “Perico”, is a sonero/percussionist/composer/songwriter who creates “organic  cuban music.” Born in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, Perico is the second to the youngest of twelve siblings and the only one who became a musician. Perico began his musical training as a young boy in Havana.  He watched the street rumberos creating amazing rhythms on the “tumbadoras” (congas), and after watching Patato Valdez play congas on a TV show, Perico decided that’s what he wanted to do. Perico gradually learned from the “rumberos” and at age 14 became the conguero for a neighborhood group, Conjunto Monte Carlo. He was eventually recruited to play with the popular Conjunto Casino. Regarding his nickname Perico, he tells the story that as a kid he walked around the neighborhood with an elderly man called “Perico.” Pretty soon the neighbors started saying “Here come Perico y Periquito.” Perico has said “Maybe the name was meant to be because I’m now a sonero and...

Artist Spotlight ★ Righteous Hillbillies ★ Relix Magazine Grand Prize Winner!

Image
The band Righteous Hillbillies formed in 2007. The lineup of Righteous Hillbillies consists of Brent James, a singer and songwriter bringing together such seemingly disparate elements as hard rock, country, with rhythm and blues to form an unforgettable style. Also keeping the rhythm on guitar, James is a charismatic but commanding front man, steering the Southern Rock ship to conquer new territory at every concert. By his side is Nick Normando, a prodigy and lead guitarist who received his baptism in blood while growing up playing the blues. Righteous Hillbillies have now cut the leash, and Normando is free to run with the pack, bringing all his ferocious power and unpredictable virtuosity to the stage and studio. Jeff Bella pours the foundation on the bass, knowing when to inject color and character into the music, behind Bella is Barret Harvey – a thunderous powerhouse whose drumming ability is steady as a pulse, but equally dynamic. Trained in rock ‘n’ roll a...

SONG REVIEW 🎵📝 Marko-M - Keine Regeln

Image
Marko-M - Keine Regeln Pop, Electronica Germany Overall Impression: With “Keine Regeln,” Marko-M delivers a bold artistic pivot—trading the buoyant, anthemic energy of “Nicht gemein” for something much heavier, darker, and sonically immersive. Where that earlier track danced on the edge of rebellion with bright guitars and driving pop grooves, “Keine Regeln” sinks deep into the subconscious, channeling a hypnotic, hip-hop-inflected rhythm and chest-rattling subs in a way that instantly grabs your attention. It’s moody, deliberate, and evocative—a piece that thrives on nuance, texture, and the dynamic interplay between two contrasting vocal presences. By weaving together brooding hip-hop inspired beats, an atmosphere-heavy soundscape, and two emotionally rich vocal performances, “Keine Regeln” positions itself as a mature and reflective entry into the ever-evolving world of modern pop. Strongest Point(s): From its opening moments, “Keine Regeln” makes clear i...
