Check out the new track California Letdown from Teddy Cosmo

October 23, 2023

  Some people are annoyed with the suggested posts as they are mindlessly scrolling through Instagram, but today, that is not me.  I saw a snippet of a song and immediately had to find out who it was and how to get the track. The song was called California Letdown and it was a new release from Teddy Cosmo. I had to find out more. It states the following on the profile: Teddy Cosmo musician, producer, podcaster, ♿cerebral palsy, wheelchair user, Berklee College of Music and from NYC. The song is amazing, the vocals remind me of a young Morrissey but with a modern production that captures the depth and tones of the emotions. Check out the track on Spotify here or take a listen below: As I delved deeper, I found his EP Ouchie and it is an alternative indie gem!  Check out the track Distant Stars and tell me how you can’t get hooked on it. The vulnerable raw emotion grabs a hold of you, all the while taking you on a musical [Read More]

Indie rocker Daniel Ellsworth releases new single, Blurry

June 23, 2023

Indie rock artist, Daniel Ellsworth released a new song, Blurry. The track is on his new EP WHAT to be released on July 14. Daniel comments about the song, “This is a song about being so completely enamored with someone that everytime you see them the room starts to spin, you start seeing colors, and everything around you starts to blur. I wrote and recorded “Blurry” when I was listening to a ton of Anderson .Paak. The way he incorporates R&B, pop, hip-hop, gospel, jazz, and soul into everything he creates is wildly inspiring. Coming from years in the indie rock world, I wanted to try to push myself to do something in that arena. I do a lot more in this world now in my project DARKMINDS that I have with Christopher “C4″ Umana, but at the time that I wrote and recorded this it was new for me.” Check out the track here: WHAT is Ellsworth’s first fully self-produced, self-mixed solo release. It’s infused with a genre bending, underground indie atmosphere and draws on influences as wide ranging [Read More]
