Pop songs with theatrical flair are a rarity these days, but no one told Davie Simmons. His latest single “Halcyon Days” not only mixes theatrical pop with a retro rock line of attack but latches on to a literary bent shared by few, if any, modern artists. The song’s grounding …

A symphony of violent noise arises from the ethers and overtakes our stereo speakers at the beginning of Good Service’s Please in the form of “And a Foot,” the first slice of audiological experimentalism that we hear in this much-buzzed debut album. A bittersweet singing quickly fades into an endless …

Despite its stationary …

Atop a piano’s sexy chime and a bassline’s weighty sway, Ronnue and Figuz deliver a party-starting powerhouse in the song “Why,” one of the twelve tracks that you’ll find in the former’s new full-length studio album, Introduction 2 Retro-Funk. Released this summer to a warm reception from both fans and critics, Introduction …
