'Fall Into You' is beautiful, deliciously haunting, and wistful. The melody surges with flooding sparkling energy as well as an aura of desire and hope. And McGrath’s marvelously persuasive tones heighten the romantic susceptibility. 'Fall Into You' is a must-listen-to song.

Hama Sankare's 'Ballebe: Calling All Africans' is a great example of Malian desert blues.

'Who Can You Trust' is better than good and approaches excellence. The darkwave/pop/rock melodies present a beguiling luster, while the rhythms project heady infectious attributes. The combination of undulant melodies and Arden’s delectable voice makes 'Who Can You Trust' enjoyable listening.

'Broken Bird' is sumptuously enchanting. The melody fizzes with glinting sonic expression, while the rhythmic pulse adds broad-spectrum gravitational pull. And Kim’s textured spiraling vocals give the music a sonorous deliquescence quivering with colorful blushes.

'Stay in America' is simply superb! The contagious melody hooks you in, while the rhythm infects your emotional response, inducing you to move to the music and sing along.

The Mynabirds returned to San Francisco in support of her recent politically-charged album 'Be Here Now' at Café du Nord on January 25, 2018.

Veterans such as Neil Young, Ryan Adams, blues great Joe Bonamassa, Bjork, The War On Drugs, St. Vincent, The National, Spoon, and Living Colour made stellar releases. Favorite new artist: Jay Som.

Spurned from British folk, Hegarty is riding the wave to the movement's new summit.

'Thank You for the Music' is stellar, as it imparts a stylish, imaginative overview of the greatest names and stylistic nuances of jazz.

The jazz duo presents a broad spectrum of musical expressions, rooted in breezy guitar riffs and the refined vocalese of Stacey Schulman.
