Ervin Munir Is Back With “When I Think”

Barrington
Ervin Munir

Ervin Munir’s third studio album *When I Think* is out now. It might just be his most complete work to date. The Norfolk singer-songwriter has always had a way with honest, reflective songwriting, but this record feels sharper, braver and more emotionally open than anything he’s released before. The album opens with “Lifeline,” immediately setting the tone with its gentle piano lines and quietly intense atmosphere. From there, the 11-track collection unfolds naturally. It moves between stripped-back folk moments and fuller arrangements where the guitars carry a bit more bite.…

Marsha Swanson Releases “Waltz For Life”

Marsha Swanson

“Waltz for Life” by Marsha Swanson keeps pulling me back. When I first heard that Marsha Swanson wrote this piece at just 14 years old, it made perfect sense. There’s an innocence in it, but also this unexpected depth that feels way beyond those years.aThe track runs barely over a minute, which seems almost too brief at first. But honestly, that’s part of what makes it work. Swanson chose to open her album “Near Life Experience” with this waltz, and now she’s closing the album’s two year run by releasing…

Brunio Who Releases New Album “Brunio’s Mind”

Barrington
Brunio Who

Bruno Gugliano’s Brunio Who project is a real treat! The Buenos Aires musician frames this 16 track collection as the first season of a musical sitcom, which could easily come across as gimmicky. Instead, it mostly delivers on that ambitious premise. The concept is straightforward: each song functions as an episode in a larger narrative. What makes this interesting is how Gugliano commits to the idea without forcing it. The tracks move through different moods and styles because the story demands it, not because he’s showing off his range. You…
