Canadian Pop sensation and acclaimed songwriter JESSIA, unveils her latest musical masterpiece, "One Before The One," now available on all major streaming platforms. This marks the culmination of a remarkable year for JESSIA, as she navigates the music scene independently, achieving extraordinary success with millions of streams on her 2023 releases. Notably, she graced stages in Asia alongside OneRepublic and supported Dean Lewis during a sell-out tour across Canada.

In a recent interview, I asked her to tell me more about the single, what it means to her, and how it came about, she told me;

"One Before The One' is for the singles this season who are bombarded with pictures of their exes in new relationships. It's for anyone who felt like they were always used as the 'practice run' partner. People become reflective and reminiscent this time of year, which can be hard when there are so many songs about love and connection being played everywhere."

She went on to add;

"I want this song to give the broken hearted a safe space to feel seen. Though the song is subjectively sad, I feel warm every time I listen to it, as I wrote it from a place of acceptance, and found power in that. I'm excited to release a scream in your car, cry to your ceiling, breath of fresh air kind of song to get us through the holidays."

Now with 375 million global streams and a Juno Award, JESSIA stands tall in the music industry. Her magnetic presence, coupled with enthralling Pop melodies, began with the explosive 2021 hit "I'm not Pretty." Bebe Rexha's attention led to a collaborative remix.

Unfazed by newfound independence, JESSIA continues to ascend, captivating audiences with dreamy Pop singles, broadening her global fan base. Her unwavering talent and determination foretell a limitless trajectory, promising even greater heights for this emerging star.

And that brings me nicely to the single in question here -
"One Before The One."

This exploration of love delves into the regret of an unfulfilled connection, expressing a desire for a love that could have been, and an experimental misstep, leaving the character questioning their role. The chorus intensifies the emotional landscape, urging the love interest to break their heart, leaving things unfinished. The bridge touches on self-worth, admitting imperfection and the recurring theme of "always the one before the one." Modern nuances on social media add depth to this soul-stirring ballad about love, self-discovery, and missed connections.

To close, this single won’t gather dust in any collection, delivering poignant lyrics that resonate with anyone who has weathered the storm of heartbreak. So why not clear a space in your collection, and give JESSIA a try before the year is out.

Ripped from the clutches of New Jersey, USA, Mindrazer masterfully fuse anthemic melodies reminiscent of traditional and Power Metal, with the precision and aggressive onslaught of Thrash. Their sonic palette incorporates dark intensity inspired by Second-Wave Black Metal, crafting a musical odyssey that feels both familiar and innovatively fresh.

The band's lineup features Nick DeFuria on lead vocals/rhythm guitars, Patrick Wentz on lead guitars, Vin "Hawky" Verducci on bass, and Brian Weissman on drums. Proudly presenting their latest album, "A Thing of Nightmares," produced by Kevin Antreassian of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Mindrazer captivates listeners with a sonic landscape that showcases their musical prowess and artistic vision. Released in October 2023 via Misanthropic Records, the album stands as a testament to their evolution, enriched by the genius of Zack Larmer on lead guitar for the album.

Delving into the essence of their single, "Crusader", where musical prowess intertwines with theatricality, it offers an immersive sonic experience that transcends conventional Metal boundaries. The album, a manifestation of the band's growth, spans a considerable period, evident in the sonic journey it presents. From the Power Metal essence of "Knightfall" to the riff-focused, old-school sound of "Better Dead", the boys have meticulously crafted their tracks to provide a feast for Metal enthusiasts, combining epic melodies with frenetic dynamics in a rich and immersive musical experience.

In a recent interview with the band, I asked them to share their thoughts on the album, they collectively told me;

"We are so pumped to finally share 'A Thing of Nightmares', the culmination of half a decade of artistic inspiration with the masses. We tried to make a top-to-bottom-worthy album that still maintained some semblance of cohesion and vibe, without becoming stale. We didn't reinvent the wheel here, instead, we made an album for the modern listener that still calls upon all of those old-school influences that made Metal such a fanatical genre in the first place. We hope you dig it."

And that brings me nicely to the single in question here – “Crusader.”

This single, the climactic pinnacle of the album, narrates the seldom-told tale of the Crusade of Finland. This musical whirlwind combines technical riffs, mesmerizing melodies of epic proportions, featuring blazing guitar harmonies, creative lyrics, and spectacular drum fills. The song delves into three key signatures, changes time signatures twice, and boasts a real sword fight recorded by the band. Authenticity shines as they brandish renaissance fair swords, crafting battle sounds for a truly immersive experience. Concluding the album with a bang, this track encapsulates Mindrazer's commitment to blending historical fervor and religious zeal in an unforgettable musical journey.

To close, this single and accompanying album won’t gather dust in any collection, and will keep heads bouncing and feet tapping from sofa to stage. So why not clear a space in your collection, and give Mindrazer a try before the year is out.

In the vibrant Miami music scene, GEARS spearhead a transformative resurgence in Rock, fusing Metal, R&B, Hip-Hop, and Alternative. Their genre-defying approach leaves an indelible mark, amassing hundreds of thousands of streams and views. Collaborating with industry luminaries such as Living Colour and Sevendust, the lads cement their position as a formidable force, and challenges the status quo with innovative soundscapes.

As architects of a new era, GEARS tantalize us with the promise of an independent debut album, a collection of groundbreaking singles that embody their sonic essence. With a commitment to shattering norms and ushering in musical evolution, the band invites audiences into a realm where innovation reigns supreme, poised to redefine the contemporary Rock landscape in a sonic revolution, and treat us to another masterpiece in the form of their new single - “My Curse.”

In a recent interview with vocalist Tripp Sixx, I asked him to tell me more about the nature of the single, he told me;

"Within each of us resides a curse, a dark passenger that we must bear. It is the unyielding law of balance, a reminder of our imperfections. Yet, in its ominous presence lies the opportunity for growth and enlightenment. We must learn from this shadow, seek to understand its nature, and strive to tame its wild essence. For it is in this delicate dance with our inner demons that true wisdom and harmony shall be found."

So I asked drummer Jimmy Wooten about their varied collaborations, and how their voyage through experimentation has benefited the band, he goes on to add;

"It encompasses a lot of things. It's easy to become trapped in continuous circles in life where you're doing the same things over and over again. As a band, you have to reach outside of the box, work with someone new, try something different, and change the sound. Following the Pandemic, it's like a rebirth for us in a weird way, so we decided to push the envelope."

In their relentless pursuit of musical innovation, the band have soared to new and exciting heights, pushing the boundaries of Rock with every release. Their 2021 breakthrough single, "Wasteland," not only reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Indicator, but also secured a place in the Top 50 on Media Base Active Rock. Unwavering in their commitment to evolution, GEARS set a new standard, solidifying their role as trailblazers in reshaping contemporary Rock.

And that brings me nicely to the single in question here -
“My Curse.”

This song narrates the internal odyssey, chronicling the presence of a haunting companion - a perpetual reminder of our imperfections. It explores the delicate balance in approaching our humanity, emphasizing self-awareness, acceptance, and discovery. As emotions cascade throughout, they reveal the challenges of breaking free from self-imposed constraints. The candid confession, "I'm too set in my ways," invites introspection. The music, a dynamic force, mirrors the fervor of the struggle, culminating in a unique blend of sound and emotion - a genuine portrayal of the human experience.

To close, this single won’t gather dust in any collection, and will keep heads bouncing and feet tapping from sofa to stage. So why not clear a space in your collection, and give GEARS a try before the year is out.

Horizon Theory emerges as a collective of seasoned musicians, each honing their craft in various musical pursuits before converging to craft a sonic landscape for the future they envision. Consisting of Josh Harrington on lead vocals, Chris Black on guitars, Luen Murr on bass, and Jeff Hafer on drums, the boys draw their experience from past and present bands, and have distilled the essence of creating a resonant sound capable of stirring emotions with their audience.

Based in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, this collaboration has yielded a unique rendition of a classic song, "Handlebars" by alternative hip hop band known as Flobots. Motivated by the song's poignant relevance to the contemporary world, the boys have infused their very own modern twist, transforming it into an angrier, Harder-Rock manifestation of angst.

Their musical amalgamation skillfully navigates an emotional roller coaster, seamlessly blending a robust Hard Rock foundation with intricate Metal elements. The band's repertoire is characterized by meaningful riffs, groove-infused bass lines, tasteful tribal drum beats, and vocals that soar with conviction. The result is a fresh yet familiar sonic signature destined to become a hallmark of the band for years to come.

In a recent interview with lead guitarist, Chris Black, I asked him about the song choice, and how it came about, he told me;

"We were all fans of this song years ago when it first came out, and after rediscovering it recently, we realized how relevant the song is today, and wanted to bring new light to the lyrics again. We thought it would be fun to put our own twist on it with some modern touches, and create a new visualization to go with the lyrics."

And that brings me nicely to the single in question here – “Handlebars.”

This fresh take on an original track transforms it into a riveting anthem of creative audacity. Josh injects charismatic energy into lyrics detailing a character's extraordinary feats, from riding handlebar-less bikes to contemplating global influence. The band's dynamic arrangement, blending Hard Rock with Metal elements, amplifies the song's boundless exploration theme.

This cover isn't a mere replication; it's a re-imagining that breathes new life into the familiar. This track truly stands as a testament to their artistic prowess, inviting listeners on a sonic journey of limitless possibilities, and is a triumph of eccentricity and boundless imagination.

In all, listeners are invited to experience the emotional power coursing through the music, a sentiment that grips the throat and asserts a resounding declaration of authenticity. Josh’s vocals cut through with an expressive edge, delivering a sharper force than the original rendition. Collectively, Horizon Theory has taken ownership of "Handlebars," reshaping it into a definitive expression of their musical identity.

To close, this single won’t gather dust in any collection, and will keep heads bouncing and feet tapping from sofa to stage. So why not clear a space in your collection, and give Horizon Theory a try before the year is out.

Coming back to Stargazer Music Magazine for a second visit, Italian music collective Last in Time continue with their dynamic alliance with Rockshots Records, marking a pivotal moment in their musical journey as they prepare to unveil their debut album, "Too Late" in 2024. Created as a studio project in 2021, this sonic venture, led by the versatile Massimo Marchetti, navigates diverse genres and nuanced expressions with an All-Star Collective of vocalists.

Rooted in a mutual love for Classic Rock, the album integrates seasoned musicians, promising us a smorgasbord of enthralling live showcases. Last In Time's debut is a captivating exploration of Melodic, Progressive, and Classic Rock, seasoned with potent AOR influences, delivering a spellbinding auditory journey.

In a recent interview with Massimo, I asked him what this album means to him, he told me;

"It's a celebration of life, and the enthusiasm of a twenty-year-old who feels enough energy in music to face the adversities of everyday life. It’s all about the possibility of fighting sadness with something positive, and making Rock music not only a genre, but a lifestyle."

So I went on to ask him about the single, he added;

“From the moment I met Caterina I knew that I wanted her to sing this song. I am so happy that she accepted my invitation, and also participated in three other songs in this project. Her voice has greatly embellished the final result of the album, and I am grateful for the time she has dedicated amidst her countless daily commitments.”

And that brings me nicely to the single in question here - "Moonlight Dreamers."

This, the second single from their forthcoming album “Too Late” showcases guest vocals by the aforementioned Caterina Minguzzi. Speaking of a bar encounter between two individuals, it explores the possibility of a deeper connection beyond a fleeting flirtation. Amidst dazzling lights at the Moonlight Bar, the couple confront their demons, and forge a liberating bond through music, echoing the desire for extended moments. In all, this single is a melodic journey, beautifully capturing the multifaceted essence of love.

To close, this single and forthcoming album won’t gather dust in any collection, and will keep heads bouncing and feet tapping from sofa to stage. So why not mark your calendars for its release on 12th of January 2024, clear a space in your collection ready, and give Last in Time a try before the year is out.

In the 1980s, Limahl, the charismatic front-man of the iconic British band Kajagoogoo, earned acclaim for chart-topping hits like "Too Shy," "Ooh To Be Ah," and "Hang On Now." Guided by Giorgio Moroder, these gems achieved global recognition and made it to the silver screen.

Limahl's musical journey, from Kajagoogoo to solo stardom, transcends eras, leaving an indelible mark on musical history. Appearances on popular US TV shows catapulted Limahl back into the spotlight, with monthly Spotify streams rising from 300,000 to an impressive 1.5 million. His enduring classics, "Neverending Story" and "Too Shy," feature prominently in series like "Black Mirror," "American Horror Story," and "Stranger Things," solidifying Limahl's status as a cultural touchstone.

As the festive season unfolds, Limahl unveils his Christmas single, "One Wish For Christmas," a revamped version of his 2012 original, ‘London For Christmas.’ Filmed against the enchanting backdrop of the London skyline, this holiday anthem, adorned with opulent arrangements and reimagined vocals, promises a captivating experience for listeners in the festive season. The song, rekindling a sense of longing for Christmas past, retains its timeless charm in this evocative rendition.

In a recent interview, I asked him what triggered this re write, he told me;

“While lying awake in bed one morning, I thought it would be a nice Christmas gift to get some more recognition for ‘London For Christmas’. So I started singing in my head ‘one gift for Christmas’ then ‘one gift’ became ‘one wish’ and then a little voice said, ‘that’s not a bad title.”

After messaging his co-writers, Jon Nickoll and Ian Curnow, the three decided that an updated version of the song was needed, and so, they got to work.

So diving a bit more into Christmas, I went on to ask him what it means to him, he went on to tell me;

"I love Christmas, especially some of the great holiday songs like 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas' and 'The Christmas Song' with the classic lyrics of 'Chestnuts Roasting On an Open Fire.' It has always been a long-term goal to compose my own holiday song."

And that brings me nicely to the single in question here –
“One Wish For Christmas.”

This single truly enchants with its vivid portrayal of holiday magic in London. From the stunning Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square to the luxury of Selfridges and Mayfair's cocktails, the lyrics craft a romantic narrative against the city's iconic backdrop. Evoking a sense of togetherness, the chorus emphasizes the desire for love during the festive season. A mention of snow, a West End show, and a midnight spin on the London Eye adds layers of romance. With its catchy melody and heartfelt lyrics, this song beautifully captures the joy and warmth of Christmas, making it a delightful addition to the holiday playlist.

To close, this single will warm the hearts of the masses this Christmas. So why not clear a space in your collection, and give Limahl a try before the year is out.

Maxwell Avenue makes a triumphant return to Stargazer Music Magazine, unveiling their latest Christmas single. Emerging from the vibrant music scene of Birmingham, this dynamic quartet has held its ground in the Pop-Punk realm, captivating audiences for nearly seven years.

Lead vocalist and guitarist Ben Woodward, alongside Elliot Prescott, Jake McCarthy Mansbridge, and Samuel Warrington, form a musical synergy drawing inspiration from McFly, Green Day, and 5 Seconds of Summer. Beyond the expected influences, Maxwell Avenue weaves in a nostalgic twist, blending 50s Rock and orchestral themes, crafting a sonic landscape that resonates uniquely with listeners.

As anticipation builds for their upcoming album, "Hypercolour Youth," set for an early 2024 release, the band surprises us with a Christmas treat: a rendition of the timeless classic "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" by Wizzard.

In a recent interview with lead vocalist Ben Woodward, I asked him how this cover came about, he told me;

"After the successful release of our version of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”, we wanted to record a cover which highlights the sound of the band’s upcoming debut album ‘Hypercolour Youth’. Our version for this single is completely unique and provides a fresh and modern style to the classic Wizzard anthem. We are so proud to share this cover and hope fans and listeners appreciate this version as much as we do.”

And that brings me nicely to the single in question here –
“I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday.”

This single transcends a mere tribute, and is a masterful fusion of nostalgia and innovation. The band flawlessly channels the essence of the original, infusing it with their signature sound. Their delivery is a revival, blending tradition with contemporary flair.

The instrumentation radiates festive energy, creating a familiar yet refreshingly new experience. The accompanying video serves as a visual compendium of their journey, seamlessly weaving through their evolution, and is both a celebration to the song's timeless legacy, and the band's own contribution to the music industry.

To close, this single won’t gather dust in any Christmas collection, and will keep feet tapping and heads bouncing from sofa to stage. So why not clear a space in yours, and give Maxwell Avenue a try before the year is out.

In 2018, Disconnected Souls, an avant-garde fusion of Electronic, Classical, and Metal genres, emerged in Chester, here in the UK, with a distinctive vision.

This quintet seamlessly melded diverse musical expressions, marked by their inaugural EP 'Warring Elements.' Their musical journey, unfolding through singles, builds anticipation for their debut album, 'Fragments of Consciousness' due for release in January 2024. Positioned at Metal's profound intersection, they crafted a sonic identity resonating uniquely within their genre.

The versatile lineup features Fletch on guitars/keys/bass/programming/backing vocals, Holly on guitars/clean vocals/keys/programming, Patrick on clean/harsh vocals and programming, Felix on clean vocals/synths/programming, and Tim on synths/keys/programming/guitars.

Inspired by diverse musical influences, each member adds a unique touch to a sound spanning instrumental and vocal styles. Disconnected Souls symbolizes growing human separation, both in relationships and within ourselves, amid the expanding gap with the natural world.

In a recent interview with Fletch, I asked him why they chose to cover “Last Christmas” by Wham, he told me:

"To be brutally honest, none of us are big fans of the original! However, we wanted to see what we could do with it, and were particularly keen to make one of our friends happy, who had been repeatedly suggesting it. We ended up staying surprisingly accurate to the original music, but focussed on vocal effects, reducing the tempo, and adding some more melancholy instrumentation. As always we hope you enjoy, and happy holidays."

And that brings me nicely to the single in question here –
“Last Christmas.”

This single keeps up with their tradition of re-imagining Christmas classics, and continues to chart a unique course with this rendition of Wham's timeless hit. Building on past successes like "Walking In The Air," the band introduces a '90s-inspired synth-driven transformation to the beloved '80s anthem.

This fresh take offers a captivating and revitalizing holiday experience, demonstrating their ability to seamlessly blend different eras and genres with finesse. In essence, they flawlessly capture the timeless character of this holiday classic, infusing it with a nuanced touch that both preserves and reinvents, inviting listeners into a realm where joy and heartache coalesce during the festive season.

To close, this single won’t gather dust in any collection. So why not clear a space, and give Disconnected Souls a try before the year is out.
