Lonely Together’s Debut Album ‘Neverlost’ is An ESSENTIAL Listen for All That Enjoy Music

Neverlost by Lonely Together is a perfect example of why I started flowsfordays. Looking at their SoundCloud page actually makes me furious and incredibly confused. How can such an AMAZING, TALENTED, UNIQUE and HARDWORKING group have under 100 followers and low play counts? The duo of ZAK & Rosie AKA Lonely Together have been putting out incredible genre-bending music for over a year now. I used … Continue reading Lonely Together’s Debut Album ‘Neverlost’ is An ESSENTIAL Listen for All That Enjoy Music

Adam was once known as Adam Reverie, and his story is as captivating as his album Best They Never Heard. We both took time off while supporters and the like asked us why.

Houston MC Bobbie & Big Ooh Call Out Dummy ‘Rappers’ In HeadKnocking Visual ‘Nosebone’

Bobbie and Big Ooh call it like they see it. Back in October I slept on the visual to their give no fucks song Nosebone. They know the clones, the phonies, and the MC’s who rap about a life they don’t live. Words hurt, but back it up with a fury of tongue twisting lyrics, bars that impress from the start, and a flow that … Continue reading Houston MC Bobbie & Big Ooh Call Out Dummy ‘Rappers’ In HeadKnocking Visual ‘Nosebone’

Regardless, I don’t have to search far and wide to hear music of this caliber – thanks to consistent submissions to flowsfordays.

French Producer Terem Exceeds Expectations In New EP ‘Intuition In The Keys’ (Review)

A few days ago I wrote about Terem, an eccentric, yet powerful French producer who dug deep into my soul off of one track. Interestingly enough, Look On The Bright Side was a pure instrumental. Although there were no vocals, the record brought into mind the importance of gratitude – even in dark times. Terem’s full length, Intuition In the Keys, is finally here and exceeded … Continue reading French Producer Terem Exceeds Expectations In New EP ‘Intuition In The Keys’ (Review)

Terem Shares The Importance Of Gratitude In Jazzy Instrumental ‘Look on the Bright Side’

Music has no bounds, and no limitations. It is free-flowing; an expression of anything the artist desires. Instrumental submissions have hit my inbox from time to time, and I usually praise them with just as many words as a vocal track. Look on the Bright Side, a new instrumental from artist extraordinaire  Terem, did not spark my critical mind. The song’s carefree, yet spontaneous instrumental … Continue reading Terem Shares The Importance Of Gratitude In Jazzy Instrumental ‘Look on the Bright Side’

Casscade Drops His Best, And Most Mature Project Yet – ‘Ignorance Is Bliss’

Casscade’s first post on flowsfordays was his Valentine’s Day single Favorite Girl, an impressive track with a Janet Jackson sample. This was no corny R&B record, but a synopsis about an ex who supported his creative endeavors who is no longer in his life. After their break up, he became surrounded by women who wanted to leech off of his success. His pain was insurmountable.
