Jake Kulak – Move On
Really, I can’t blame you for wanting more. Your life partner and your boss probably don’t understand. But you were made for greater things. You feel it in your bones, and it’s there every time that you close your eyes.
And how do you get through the days when you feel this way? How do you get back to that place even when you’re awake and needing to take care of business? Odds that you lean in on a song.
That’s a good strategy! There’s no better, healthier shot of courage than what is captured in a good song. And Jake Kulak is a songwriter who is looking to cut through the static and get straight to your heart.
Will you listen to your instincts? “Move On” is a single about indecision turned action turned melancholy-tinged regrets. It’s a sweet and moody indie-rock song that, if you let it whisper in your ear, won’t just show you the way, but will make you feel like you’re on the road to something of great importance.
NewSession – Jodie
The worst thing that the people who run the music business imagine can happen is that they’ll offend listeners badly enough that they’ll never want to spend money ever again. They coddle listeners; they do their best not to disturb them.
And, likely, this is why we’re now stuck with pop music that rarely means anything to anyone other than a beat and a melody that you can listen to on your way to the checkout counter.
But let us not forget that grunge, with all its musical tension and lyrics about internal strife, was the dominant musical force during the 1990s. Who would risk giving the audience more of that? NewSession daringly take a chance.
The good news is that, indeed, if you’re stuck on what songs to add to your “90s-themed Alt-rock” playlist, “Jodie” will feel just like a song that you inexplicably omitted the first time around. Fortunately, the sound goes even deeper than merely being a hooky alt-rocker. It’s a soulful number as well and a reminder that audiences need to be challenged once in a while.
