Fire and Rain: A Music Blog

Acoustic R&B swoops in with a flourish on Adeni's debut single "Leavin'".

I wouldn't call this rock ballad Greta Van Fleet's best work, but that's a high bar to clear.

This exceptional song is a good reminder of how many talented independent musicians  fly under the radar.

This moody track is an anthem for the overthinker and those who aren't sure if their love is reciprocated.

I had to wait fifteen extra hours for this debut single because of the time difference. It was worth it.

Polished vocals and songwriting help to cover up some mediocre production choices on "Fire."

A quiet, understated, but magnificent technical/emotional performance is a great way to kick off a music career.

Rough-edged, raw and yet pure in its personal observations and unsettling honesty, "Less Wise" was my true intro to independent music.

The song that gave my blog its name is a timeless classic and easily one of the most underrated pieces of music ever made.

Maybe I don't dislike heavy metal after all, because this was just a well-executed song.

I sure hope you didn't make the mistake of writing Kane Brown off like I did, because this is a banger of a love song.

This song is interesting, quirky, and short: in other words, a perfect debut single.

If you haven't listened to this song already, go do it now.

This legendary song holds up quite well even to this nitpicking critic's eye.
