“Ghost Boy” is a short and sad ballad by ModernGrim, an artist who has perfected the art of pulling on the listener’s heartstrings. Despite the heaviness, I can’t help but describe the track as soft. It’s filled with soft vocals, soft beats and even softer instrumentals.

You know that feeling when you can’t do much of anything except lie in bed and stare at a wall? Or when you find yourself waking in the middle of the night after a dream has reminded you of something you buried deep inside, something you would just rather forget?

Those are the emotions that this song weaves in the subconscious mind of the listener.

The song is a gentle nudge into a reverie of despondency, but don’t let that stop you from enjoying the track. Even happier listeners can get lost in the tenderness of the song.

Sixty-Two Tresh’s fresh take on the Paris Sisters’ classic combines both female and male vocals to create a truly charming track.

The loving lyrics of the song have ensnared listeners for years, but this incarnation of the tune feels even sweeter accompanied by the sound of a modern beat, the low undertones of lovemaking, and soft muttered lyrical repetition.

It’s nice to get a new spin on an old model, and Sixty-Two Tresh delivers a cute revamp of a song that has stood the test of time.

Here is a new track from Jennifer depicting a post-apocalyptic fallout.

I love a song that starts off strong and stays fierce as the track continues. “Rabbit” keeps the energy high with booming guitar riffs, brilliantly timed blows of the harmonica and a tune that is reminiscent of an age that built rock as we know it.

However, while this track is triumphant in powerful instrumental work, it falls short in delivering a truly unique perspective on the alt-rock genre. The song struggles to find footing in a genre riddled with copycats and throwbacks, and despite its impressive sound I’m unsure if the track can stand on its own.

Jennifer has some way to go, but this is a pretty good start, and I can’t wait to give their future work a listen.
