Kete Bowers Chained – A Folk Confession from Birkenhead’s Heart

I was supposed to write about something else tonight. Then I played Chained by Kete Bowers, and suddenly I was sitting there with a lump in my throat, thinking about promises that turned into chains. Because I've noticed something about Kete Bowers that makes silence feel like part of the song. The pauses between words speak as loud as the lines themselves. From Birkenhead, Merseyside, Kete carries that northern plainness I love. He tells you what happened and lets you make […]

Water Street Closer – A Horn-Laced Leap Toward Connection

Somewhere Between the Studio and the Skyline It’s funny how some songs arrive like an accidental discovery, while others feel hunted down. Closer by Water Street plays like a band in full control, with good instinct and perfect timing. The band - Julia Aiello, Dave Paulson, Eddie Woodcock, Brendon Gardner, Connor Konecnik, and Alex Kerssen - built it, piece by piece. I’ve got the track looping in my headphones right now. The brass lines kick first, that kind of swagger […]

Reetoxa’s Papa Loves Ladyboys

Pop

Reetoxa’s “Papa Loves Ladyboys” – Dancing With Bare Truth

When Truth Decides to Dance I remember when I first heard “Call” - that lonely airport song that felt like heartbreak’s quiet echo. It was a cigarette break in sound form - heavy, quiet, real. Now, Reetoxa walks into the room again with something entirely different, but just as honest. Papa Loves Ladyboys shows up in rhythm, waving a flag of acceptance and cheeky joy. It’s the story of an older man finally saying out loud what he’s known all his […]

Micki XO Power Outage

Micki XO Power Outage Is the Anthem for the Overworked

There’s a certain truth that only comes when everything literally shuts off. When the power’s out, the notifications die, and the buzzing chaos outside the window finally falls silent. That’s the setting where Power Outage by Micki XO was born. And no, I’m not talking about a metaphor. I’m talking twelve days without electricity during a record-breaking ice storm in Portland. Micki XO was living in the dark - freezing, frustrated, and probably overdue for some sleep. And somehow, instead […]

LaCosta Tucker – The Real Woman Behind the Wheel Returns

Rolling Through the Dust and Glitter You ever see someone smile like they’ve driven through hell with the windows down and came out with their lipstick still perfect? That’s LaCosta Tucker, and she's showing us The Woman Behind The Wheel. In fact, not just of a car, but of her entire legacy. Spinning this track in my head and could see it clear - kitchen light on before the sun, coffee steaming, the day already moving. Rhythm and responsibility, wrapped […]

Jennifer Silva Cruel Mistress – When Karma Wears Red Lipstick

There’s something hypnotic about the way Jennifer Silva sings. The woman could probably read a tax return and still make it sound cinematic. But in Cruel Mistress, she’s here to whisper a warning about karma - and believe me, you feel it. I stumbled onto Cruel Mistress in one of those nothing moments - and within seconds, it felt like something. Fitting, really. It feels like overhearing someone’s secret - only you don’t want them to stop talking. Sultry guitar […]

Kinda Minor, Kinda Brilliant – Helena May Puts the Groove On

Puzzle Pieces Still Falling – Kinda Minor Style Some artists walk into a second album cycle nervous, adjusting their collars, waiting for a sign. Helena May turns up with Kinda Minor - brass blaring, basslines bouncing, and her voice strutting somewhere between acid jazz and morning espresso. I still remember when Side Effects landed - we covered it here on Groover City. That one had bounce, colour, and precision. Kinda Minor brings all of that again, but it feels looser […]

Transgalactica Danse Macabre – A Waltz With Reason and Doom

Dancing With Brains in a Jar Somewhere between a Bach cantata and an apocalyptic podcast, I found myself listening - no, waltzing - to Danse Macabre by Transgalactica. I say waltzing because, well, that’s what it is: a quick-step straight out of Saint-Saëns’ cemetery, hijacked by a trio who clearly don't give a damn about conforming to whatever genre tag you’re trying to stick on them. There's no guitars, drum kits, and blazing solos. We're dealing with synths, classical motifs, […]

The Wave with Bleak – Cracked Open and Loud Again

One day I’ve seen red and my house was shaking. Hold on everyone, this is not whatever you’re thinking about. It actually happened when I met BLEAK and their single release The Wave. I was hooked and I raised the volume - and for once, the neighbours didn’t complain. Yeah, The Wave kinda hit me, but I felt good - like a surfer finally riding the wave he’s been dreaming about all his life. Except this wave doesn’t give you […]
