Keeana Kee “Tik Tok”: The Ultimate Summer Anthem Groover City
If you’ve ever been in Southend-on-Sea, you might think all they’re known for is the pier and the beach. And maybe a fish and chips or two. Well, think again. The Trusted just dropped their latest single, The Lightning. And let me tell you, it’s got nothing to do with weather forecasts. These guys aren’t here to remind you to carry an umbrella. No, they’re here to remind you of […]
In this world where politics feels like one big reality TV show, Mortal Prophets return to the stage. With something that has far more depth than your average Netflix marathon. Enter American Junkie, the latest EP from John Beckmann and company. An iconic exploration of societal decay that goes beyond mere protest anthems. Released on September 27, just in time to serve as your post-dinner political critique during the election […]
So here we are, 2024, where most bands are either selling out arenas or desperately clinging to the last threads of nostalgia. But Faithless? They’re dropping a tribute track that makes you feel like you’ve been slapped with a velvet glove. I’m Not Alone (Rest Well Maxwell) - a gloriously bittersweet homage to their late frontman, Maxi Jazz. The guy who could make a rave sound like a spiritual awakening? […]
This is the ever-churning ocean of musical collaborations and benefit albums. Where releases come and go like high tide, there emerges a beacon of audacious creativity. The one that refuses to blend into the background. Enter ‘TRAИƧA’, a compilation that throws a spotlight on trans artistry. And paints it in every color of the rainbow - quite literally, with its eight chapters mirroring the pride flag. Notably, the album features […]
Yeah, neocolonialism - nothing like global exploitation disguised as diplomacy to get the heart racing. And who better to soundtrack this morally murky territory than Tidal Water, the brainchild of Oslo’s own Martin Hovden? On October 10th, the band's latest single, “Neocolonial Hand,” drops, and trust me, it's not your typical light-listening fare. The song will be available at: linktr.ee/thetidalwater once it’s released. This song bites, claws, and exposes the […]
If the music world had its own Bermuda Triangle, it’d be a place where pop stars go to lose their egos, and raw emotions spill like wine on white carpets. Enter Lexi Berg - who, rather than being the unfortunate shipwreck victim, seems to be captaining her own vessel through it all with her latest track, Bermuda Triangle. Spoiler: it's not about getting lost on a tropical vacation, but about […]
Imagine the ever-shifting sands of the music world. Where even the sturdiest of souls can find themselves lost in a cacophony of should-haves and what-ifs. The world as it is. These days, music philosophy is less about sticking to one lane. It's more about swerving across five at once without signalling. Artists mash up genres with the abandon of a toddler mixing Play-Doh colours. Crafting sounds that might make purists […]
Here at Groover City, we listen to and write about what we like, in any genre, at almost any time. After more than 35 years in the field, it’s still a privilege to discover audio gems in this ever-evolving musical rollercoaster. And Jeff Christie? Well, he’s one of those gems, by far. Jeff Christie is back, and no, this isn't just a rehash of his 1970 hit "Yellow River" that […]
Ah, Tears For Fears - just when we thought the echoes of "Shout" and "Mad World" might be fading into the annals of pop history, they hit us with "Songs For A Nervous Planet." A time capsule, spliced with live wires from their recent tours and seasoned with four brand new tracks. Slated for release on October 25, 2024, this collection is both a nod to the past and a […]
If you thought 2024 couldn't get any weirder, wait till you hear Mercurius' latest single Rifle. Yes, the father-son duo from Newcastle is back, still carrying a rifle on their shoulder - figuratively, of course. But this time, with the Mercurius Rifle release, they're dragging us deep into a cold, desolate room, staring into the abyss of war, loss, and well...a potential new album. But before we dive into the […]
James Earl Jones, a man whose voice was so powerful it could make "No, I am your father" a line that echoes through the generations, has left this mortal coil. James Earl Jones' iconic voice has marked the minds of millions. Let’s take a moment to reflect on how millions of us learned to fear the sound of heavy breathing, thanks to his masterful performance as the voice of Darth […]
Let me tell you something: Seattle-based singer-songwriter Josh Jensen has been around the musical block. You know, the kind of guy who probably jammed with a guitar on his lap before he could even walk. And now? He’s giving us Birdhouse, a song that can only be described as the soundtrack for that ideal end of summer that never actually happens. You know the one - where you imagine yourself […]
