The Review

There are twelve tracks on this album. I will be reviewing one off this album. and add an inculcation at the end of the review of the album in its entirety.

So lets get to the review readers!

I'll be reviewing the track, "Keep Us Free" this is the sixth song on his album.

This track starts out with beautiful guitar playing with a slight reverb sound that moves into violins and the vocals start! The rhythm is quite nice and subtle but noticeable. I love the message of struggle and the changes in power that rule over the land. The break is absolutely beautiful! This track is a beautiful rendition of all people wanting to be free from the rulers that be. And how the people pray for better days, free from struggles.

In conclusion, this track is a wonderful folk song. It describes a time where it was hard for people and a struggle to survive because of all the changes in power that rule over the land. It is a wonderful story, and I encourage readers to listen to this album and listen to the many stories being told about days of struggle. These tracks also relate to our world today. The struggles that we are now going through, day by day. Readers, again give it a listen and sit back and listen to the stories being told. You just might relate to it!

This track is sung in Italian. So here is the lyrics that Monica Ravalico transcribed.

Lyrics

I WANT MUCH MORE FOR ME

I want much more for me because my life today
Is too less for me.
I want much more for me.

Because I search In my soul,
and I don't know because I search
in my soul.

And I don't know,
And I don't find
the reason for me.
Everything don't go
In the way I want,
everything it's different
that I've imagined.

Everything don't go
in the way I would.
I don't know
if I can't delete.

The silence of these nights,
The quiet of these days.
Into and out of my room
so there is only a thing I know

I know that I want much more for me
I want much more for me

Because my life today
is too less for me,
and I expect the day
of the justice for me.


The review

This is an absolute beautiful track,I must say. This track starts of with a beautifully played guitar accompanied by what sounds like a roads piano with that rich bell sound. With that there is a horned instrument playing in unison, perhaps a trumpet? The percussion has an ever so soft kick played with a timber instrument. There is two versions of this track the one I just described above that was produced in November 26, 2020. The other version is played with just a piano and Monica singing in Italian the lyrics above. That track almost had me in tears, it's so beautiful. Monica Ravalico voice is so inviting, like a song bird. Readers you have to listen to this track. You will be as blown away as I was listening to her story unfold.

In conclusion, I was in awe with this track, and I don't even understand Italian. You could feel the emotion of what she was singing. As I follow her voice with the English lyrics, this track almost had me in tears. what a track that can make you feel what Monica is trying to tell you about a story of despair, but in the end a bit of hope for justice. What more can you ask for in a track so beautifully written and played to strike up your emotion. Feel the emotions that this track has you go though. Readers, please give this track a listen. Both versions are on Monica's Spotify catalog. The link is above! I'm sure you will be moved too once you hear it.

The Review, 'Stars At Night'

This is really beautiful track very soft warm feeling track. it's got the feel's similar to  Bryan Adams meets U2. A very warm tone to the track. The track starts out with a guitar strumming along side the percussion and bass that introduces Franc O'cher singing, 'Here I am, Thinking about you...' This is a song about love. A kinda love that you may feel for an 'X' or someone that don't know that this person is in love with them. The guitar is well played and the percussion and bass is the heart beat of the track. I think this is a charming song, a song of endearment of a love for one to another. A kinda song you can sit down with the one you love and enjoy the story of this track.

In conclusion, This track is a well written track. The percussion and bass is warm and inviting as too is the lyrics. Readers if you want to sit back and unwind  with a loved one, this track is for you. Give Franc O'cher's  track, 'Stars At Night' a listen and find out for yourself.

The Subtheory – 'Cut to Black' News and Review!

The Subtheory set out their stall early for a busy 2023 with an ethereal, atmospheric new single; Cut to Black.  Eerie piano leads you to floating, airy synths, jangling guitars laid upon a descending bass groove with Cate DeBu’s melancholy cautionary tale of a life spent playing the odds on both sides.  There is an intriguing contrast between the sweet, dreamlike quality of the music and melodies juxtaposed with the harsh and slightly bitter tang of the lyrics.

“There will be a certainty for those who like to bet..”

 The Subtheory are building a head of steam as they springboard of a successful 2022 with a series of releases planned throughout Spring off the back of a number of live shows in the UK as well as mini European tour in early Summer.

 Cut to Black will be available from March 31st 2023 on their Bandcamp as well as Spotify, Amazon, Apple Music and more.

The Review....The Subtheory-Cut ot Black

Wow, this is a outstanding track it is exactly what The Subtheory said it would be. An enchanted piano opens up the mystery of  this track,that leads into the synths slowly interning into the track.  They reminds me of  The Verve's Bitter Sweet Symphony, totally fantastic sound. The lyrics are inviting starting off like a song bird singing, 'What's done is said, What's said is Done, My Thoughts my mind misread...' That peaks your interest right off the bat. Like I said at the beginning of this review, this track is very enchanting and totally epic! Oh, how I love this track. The mystery of it, the sounds that  float around in your ears and the mystery of the story being told in this track. Readers, this is a must listen too. This track is truly amazing.

Pasha Black...Music that Makes You Soar!

The technological developments of the XXI century, along with the proliferation of the internet and digital media, have changed the face of musical practices and forms once held to be the norm. Under these shifting circumstances, Pasha Black of Kyiv (Ukraine) devotedly carries out the role of today's musician, showing both excellent songwriting and production, while striving to maintain an exceptional purity of sound and the clarity of his music's message.


A musical patchwork of pensive joy and thoughtful sadness, impressive mature melodies and deep lyrics, accompanied by richly textured instrumentation, help him to tell his picturesque story. Pasha’s commitment to every small detail of his music enables him to take his listener's minds to faraway places, allowing their spirits to soar.

The Review...

There are two albums, First album, "Remedy+" and the second album,"The Lookalike's Dream". I'll be review two track of each album.

The Fist is an album called, "Remedy+". There are 8 Tracks on this album, I'll be reviewing the 2 songs
that I enjoyed the most. The first song is #7 called, "World Number Two". This song starts out beautifully with the piano playing accompanied by a crisp guitar playing like birds singing. As the guitar and piano plays they introduce the bass and vocals stating, "I Did Nothing Wrong..." Something we all have said in our lives. Then Pasha goes on singing  that everything is all right in his wold number two. The string instrument are just sublime in this track they really add to the mood of the track.This is just an outstanding track, a track about escaping to another place where the is peace that is not found in the "Real" world of hate and destruction.This song is absolutely beautiful.

The second track I reviewed on this album Remedy+ is track #1 "Amazing Anyway".
This track starts out with powerhouse drums and guitars with a lead playing in unison. Vocals come singing, " I believe I'm Keeping Sanity..". While guitars are playing in grunge fashion. At the bridge the hole mood of the track changed to an amazing wall of guitar and drums along with the vocals. Then the track slows down for a change up, which is totally amazing. I must say this is a true rock out song. had me dancing in my seat. what a well done track.

The second album I'm reviewing is, "The Lookalike's Dream". There are 10 tracks on this album I'll be reviewing two track that I enjoyed the most of the album. number #5, "Lonely Fish". This track starts out with a wall of guitars and drums pounding that gets you heart pumping right off the bat. Vocals comes in with the vocals song slows down while vocals are sung. There is nice use of instrumentation. At the bride states, "You feel yourself like a lonely, lonely fish..Taken out of water, burning with no fire". From what I understand of this track it seem to me the track is about war and how one feel in the conflict. But you can draw your own conclusion about this track. In my opinion I really liked this track and would listen to it over and over again, great work Pasha Black!

This next track I reviews is, "Rainy Night" Track #4 on, "The Lookalike's Dream".
this track starts out with an alarm sound then is burst out with this amazing beat while the vocals are introduced with guitars, and bass. The vocals starts out singing, " The Heaviest Summer Rain Is Washing The Night Away". This Track is really good I think this is my favorite Track from Pasha Black. with punchy drums and grungy guitars and that rich bass just have you bobbin your head. This is truly versatile, really amazing Pasha Black!

In conclusion, upon listing to these tracks I must say that Pasha Black is so versatile and his message is about reality-based events and how people need an escape from the chaos of this world. Pasha has punchy beats, brilliant lyrics, and outstanding wall breaking guitars. In my opinion  Pasha is worth listening to more than once, Pasha Black sound is out of this world and his meaning is to the point.

Welcome to the Wild Side

L-da Wild (@ldawild on Twitter) makes music

I got a promotion message on Instagram. In many ways, it was different. It was gentle.

So, I listened to L-da Wild.

Besides working with music, she is a yoga-teacher, an entrepreneur, and into NFT's.

The first thing that struck me with L-da, was not her music. It was her cover image. A strong image of a woman muted by love.

Then, I listened. And kept listening.

The first song I heard was «Worthy», the title track of her latest album.

Her honesty and lyrics moved me.

Then I heard «In the Making», then «Graveyard».

Sweet harmonies. Lyrics with meaning and compassion for the human condition.

«Do not give up on who you are.

You won’t finish the fight without a few scars».

Lend an ear to L-da’s musical universe.

I suggest you start with one of the songs mentioned above, or perhaps «Hero», which spoke to me on so many levels. Spiritually, emotionally & cognitively.
