Pharaoh Jo

I’ve heard a lot of breakup songs and most of them feel like someone read a book on heartbreak and tried to turn it into lyrics. Pharaoh Jo’s “Enough For You” is different. You can tell he lived this one. The Louisville rapper just dropped this track with CALLMEJB, pulled from his new album “A Wasteland Called Love,” and it’s the kind of song that makes you sit with it for a few days before you really understand what hit you. It’s about that sinking feeling of pouring everything you…

Inside the Story of caffiene13, Where West Coast Grit Meets Memphis Influence

MIConnected

If you’re looking for an artist whose music comes from lived experience rather than a manufactured angle, caffiene13 is that kind of voice.

After his parents divorced, his childhood split into two different lessons, delivered by two very different father figures. On one…

Nathan Bryce and Loaded Dice released “Drunk Dial Baby” on Friday, February 13th, and it’s the song that’s going to hit different at 2 AM when your phone buzzes. We all know this story. The late night text arrives. “You up?” Three letters that mean everything and nothing at the same time. Bryce and his band take that exact moment and turn it into a blues funk groove that somehow finds humor in the heartbreak. It’s a smart move because the alternative would have been wallowing, and these guys clearly…

Rebecca Richards

Rebecca Richards dropped “Never Too Late” on March 6th, and it’s the kind of country pop song that sneaks up on you. Not because it’s subtle, but because it means something. The story behind this track is the sort of thing that usually only happens in films. Saskia Griffiths-Moore, founder of Talent Is Timeless, showed up at Rebecca’s gig in Bargoed back in November and offered her a trip to Nashville to record at Ocean Way Studios. Her parents watched the whole thing unfold. That kind of moment sticks with…
