DownTown Mystic Presents The Album ‘The Wish’

If you’re a classic rock fan, this album we’re about to discuss is made for you. veteran American rocker Robert Allen’s ongoing musical project, Downtown Mystic, returns to the roots of rock n’ roll with their latest release, The Wish.

This 12-track album that blends classic rock with a modern, soulful touch. Each track is packed with emotional songwriting, nostalgic tunes, and polished craftsmanship.

https://open.spotify.com/album/4pxK7bYvtKkYiWQp1Q93ND

The album kicks off with the title track The Wish, a classic rock ballad that pays homage to the work of artists like Bruce Springsteen and Bryan Adams. With its dreamy instrumentation and slow-burn vocals, it feels like a long walk down memory lane.

The rhythm and percussion sections on this track are done immaculately, thanks to the work of veteran drummer Steve Holley and guitarists Gary Tallent and Max Weinberg. The musicianship on the opening track perfectly sets the tone for what’s yet to come.

1) The Wish 3:56
2) One Step Closer 2:57
3) Better Day 3:19
4) One More Chance 4:35
5) Shade of White 2:37
6) Tomorrow’s Clown 3:17
7) Love Light 3:58
8) History 2:50
9) Modern Ways 3:13
10) Some Day 5:13
11) Lost and Found (Bonus Track) 3:24
12) Read The Signs (Bonus Track) 4:01

But the cool thing about this album is its unpredictability. The second track, One Step Closer, immediately switches genres to an 80s pop-rock vibe. Each step of the way, you find new layers of Downtown Mystic’s creativity as they span the subgenres of rock n’ roll.

But the track that really caught my attention was Shade of White, which could’ve easily passed as an Elvis hit in the late 60s. The swinging guitar riffs transport you to the golden days of rock n’ roll, making for a truly nostalgic experience.

The album’s strength lies in its emotional range. Love Light is sunny and optimistic, while tracks like Tomorrow’s Clown dig deeper, carrying the kind of emotional weight that leaves you thinking long after the last note fades.

Some albums feel like a collection of good songs, but The Wish feels like a story. It’s clear that Downtown Mystic isn’t just writing music—Allen is reflecting on life, love, and everything in between. The instrumentation is crisp, the lyrics are thoughtful without being preachy, and the production has that warm vibe that’s hard to fake.

Whether you’re a fan of Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones, or just rock music with a heart, this album delivers. The Wish might be steeped in retro influences, but it’s not stuck in the past. It brings a timeless quality that feels surprisingly rare these days.

New Music Video by DEAD PERRY feat. Izrell & J-Spliff

https://youtu.be/zoIifLRqQMQ

Bernadett Nyari’s Heart of Diamonds Is a Velvet Thunderclap in Eleven Acts

Let’s get one thing straight: instrumental albums these days mostly get treated like scented candles—pleasant, ambient, and entirely ignorable. But Heart of Diamonds doesn’t play that game. Bernadett Nyari’s new record doesn’t waft into the background. It grabs your face, stares into your soul, and dares you to feel something. And you will—unless you’re dead inside.

Nyari, the Hungarian-born violinist who’s played in more countries than McDonald’s has franchises, comes out of the gate with the title track and it’s like Vivaldi got reprogrammed by Hans Zimmer in a moment of existential crisis. This thing doesn’t whisper. It shimmers—with intent. Her bow doesn’t just glide across strings; it interrogates them. Every note feels like it’s trying to explain something words never could.

Track two, Dance with Fire, is the closest the violin has come to sounding like it’s grinding against a Tesla coil. It’s got this pagan-disco-underworld vibe that belongs in a film where no one survives but the music. Nyari’s not content to just play; she wants to burn the concept of genre to the ground and then sift through the ashes for beauty.

https://youtu.be/aSam0eJ1lYo 

And then there’s Redemption, which already made a splash as a single a couple years ago. It’s like she took all her regrets and triumphs, boiled them into resin, and strung them across her violin. This track bleeds. Not melodrama. Not sap. Real, earned emotion. It’s the kind of piece that makes you stop scrolling, stop sipping, stop everything—and listen.

But the apex, the grand hallucinatory cathedral at the center of this diamond-studded storm, is Radiance. The music video for it should come with a warning: “May permanently rearrange your emotional DNA.” It’s not just visually lush—it sounds like Mahler doing peyote in a planetarium. The track soars, swells, and dissolves into a thousand points of light like it’s trying to recreate the Big Bang from the inside out.

You want more? Try Presistance. Yes, spelled like that—half persistence, half resonance, and all raw nerve. Summer Breeze is deceptive, like a warm afternoon masking the fact that everything you love is ephemeral. Racing Hearts? That one practically waltzes off the record, daring you to catch your breath. Spoiler: you won’t.

Nyari closes things with Wings of Love, which floats in like the kind of peace you only get after catharsis so total it leaves you wrecked and grateful. No melodramatic coda. Just grace.

What makes Heart of Diamonds land so hard is that it doesn’t treat the violin like an elegant relic. It treats it like a weapon of revelation. This isn’t background music. This is foreground feeling. And in an era choking on irony and plastic poptimism, Bernadett Nyari has the guts to be earnest, wordless, and completely uncaged.

Forget genres. Forget borders. This album exists somewhere between the heavens and the places in your gut you pretend don’t ache anymore. And if you let it, Heart of Diamonds will drag you there, note by note, with the most beautifully unapologetic violin you’ve heard in years.

Final Verdict: Play it loud. Feel it louder. Then go outside and scream into the sky.

‘Soul Exchange’: Isaiah Stone Ain’t Preaching, He’s Bleeding All Over the Groove

Isaiah Stone’s “Soul Exchange” is the kind of track that doesn’t knock politely on your door—it crawls in through the basement window at 3 a.m., dragging with it a suitcase full of funk ghosts, spiritual trauma, and the kind of existential noise that most pop music wouldn’t dare touch with a latex-gloved hand.

And thank God for that.

This isn’t just a song—it’s an exorcism. It’s late-night soul surgery, performed with no anesthesia, just a beat, a busted amp, and a whole lot of nerve. Stone isn’t trying to entertain you. He’s trying to survive himself, in real time, and if you’re lucky, you get to listen in while he dissects his own damn psyche.

From the first throb of bass and that slithery guitar line, you know this isn’t your average funk-lite Spotify-filler. No, this is spirit music, dragged out of the underworld and filtered through the cracked lungs of a 23-year-old who’s lived more lives than most lifers. The kid grew up in a cult. A literal, doomsday, no-music-allowed, reality-shattered cult. So yeah, when he sings about mind versus heart, he’s not reading it off a coffee shop napkin. He’s testifying from the rubble of his childhood, with scars that probably still hum in his bones.

And his voice—God. It’s not pretty, it’s not polished. It’s honest. It breaks in weird places. It slurs. It snarls. It whispers when it should scream, and screams when it should hide. Think Frank Ocean if he was raised on vinegar and barbed wire. Think D’Angelo if he spent a decade locked in a garage studio with nothing but his own anxiety and a stack of Sly Stone vinyl.

The lyrics? They feel like they were scrawled in the margins of a burned-up Bible. “Soul Exchange” isn’t trying to win any poetry slams. It’s trying to rip something open. This is emotional graffiti, not a Hallmark card. It’s a journal entry at the end of a relapse. It’s what you say to the mirror when you’ve finally had enough of lying to yourself.

What makes this track hit isn’t just the story behind it—it’s the refusal to sanitize that story. Most artists would clean this up, slap a gospel choir on the hook, and push it as “inspirational.” Not Stone. He keeps it messy, because life is messy. He keeps it haunted, because you don’t walk away from a childhood like his without a few ghosts hitching a ride.

And the production? Raw, low-slung, DIY to the bone. No frills, no radio fluff. Just tension, sweat, and soul. The groove doesn’t build—it lurks. Like it’s waiting for you to break first.

Isaiah Stone isn’t just part of the lineage of Black rock and soul heroes—he’s adding chapters. Not with nostalgia, but with necessity. He’s not playing a character. He is the damn story. And “Soul Exchange” is the latest—and maybe most harrowing—page.

This isn’t just music. It’s medicine. It’s venom. It’s the echo of a man tearing himself open so the rest of us don’t feel so alone.

Crank it. Don’t skip it. And if it makes you uncomfortable? Good. That means it’s real.

Skin Scraping Facial: Unlock Your Skin’s Natural Radiance

Experience the rejuvenating benefits of a skin scraping facial at Lavish Skin By Nelly. Reduce puffiness, define facial contours, and achieve radiant skin with this ancient yet modern treatment. Book now!

Skin scraping facial, inspired by the ancient Chinese practice of gua sha, is a skincare treatment designed to enhance circulation, reduce puffiness, and promote a glowing complexion. Using a specialized tool to gently massage the skin, this treatment provides both therapeutic and cosmetic benefits. It’s a rejuvenating ritual that combines relaxation with visible results. In this article, we’ll explore the science, process, and benefits of skin scraping facials and why Lavish Skin By Nelly is the perfect place to experience this transformative therapy.


What is a Skin Scraping Facial?

skin scraping facial is a non-invasive treatment that involves the use of a smooth-edged tool, often made of jade or rose quartz, to gently scrape the surface of the skin. This technique stimulates blood flow, promotes lymphatic drainage, and relieves muscle tension.

The treatment has roots in traditional Chinese medicine and has become a modern favorite for its ability to:

  • Reduce puffiness
  • Define facial contours
  • Soothe inflammation
  • Enhance skin tone and texture

By removing surface blockages and encouraging better circulation, a skin scraping facial helps your skin function at its best.


How Does a Skin Scraping Facial Work?

1. Preparation and Cleansing

The treatment begins with a thorough cleansing to remove makeup, oil, and impurities. A facial oil or serum is applied to create a smooth surface for the tool to glide over the skin effortlessly.

2. Scraping Technique

Using a gua sha tool, the aesthetician performs gentle, upward strokes along the natural contours of the face. Key areas include:

  • Jawline and Cheeks: To lift and define facial features.
  • Forehead: To smooth fine lines and relieve tension.
  • Under-Eyes: To reduce puffiness and dark circles.

3. Post-Treatment Care

After the facial, nourishing skincare products are applied to hydrate and protect the skin. The session leaves your complexion feeling refreshed and revitalized.

At Lavish Skin By Nelly, the process is customized to address your unique skin concerns, ensuring both relaxation and effective results.


Benefits of a Skin Scraping Facial

1. Enhances Circulation

Gentle scraping motions stimulate blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the skin for a natural glow.

2. Promotes Lymphatic Drainage

The treatment encourages the movement of lymphatic fluid, reducing puffiness and detoxifying the skin.

3. Defines Facial Contours

Regular sessions help sculpt and lift facial features, enhancing the jawline and cheekbones.

4. Relieves Tension and Stress

The massage-like technique soothes facial muscles, reducing tightness and preventing stress-related wrinkles.

5. Improves Product Absorption

By clearing surface blockages, the treatment enhances the skin’s ability to absorb serums and moisturizers.

6. Soothes Inflammation

The cooling properties of the scraping tool, especially when made of jade or rose quartz, help calm irritated or sensitive skin.


Why Choose Skin Scraping Facials at Lavish Skin By Nelly?

Lavish Skin By Nelly combines the art of traditional skincare practices with modern expertise to deliver exceptional results. Their team of skilled aestheticians uses high-quality tools and techniques to ensure a safe and effective experience.

At Lavish Skin By Nelly, every skin scraping facial is personalized to suit your specific needs, providing both immediate results and long-term benefits. Their commitment to excellence guarantees a relaxing and luxurious spa experience that leaves you glowing with confidence.


Is a Skin Scraping Facial Right for You?

Skin scraping facials are suitable for most skin types and are particularly beneficial if you’re looking to:

  • Reduce puffiness and dark circles
  • Improve facial contours
  • Relieve facial tension and stress
  • Enhance the overall health and appearance of your skin

However, individuals with active acne, sensitive skin, or certain medical conditions should consult with a skincare professional before undergoing this treatment. A consultation at Lavish Skin By Nelly will help determine if this therapy aligns with your skincare goals.


How to Prepare for Your Skin Scraping Facial

Before the Treatment:

  1. Avoid exfoliating products or retinoids for 48 hours prior.
  2. Stay hydrated to support your skin’s natural detoxification process.
  3. Protect your skin from sun exposure.

After the Treatment:

  1. Follow your aesthetician’s advice on skincare routines.
  2. Use sunscreen daily to protect your freshly treated skin.
  3. Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer.

How Often Should You Have Skin Scraping Facials?

For best results, many clients schedule skin scraping facials every 2-4 weeks. Regular treatments not only enhance your complexion but also contribute to long-term skin health and wellness.

At Lavish Skin By Nelly, your aesthetician will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs, ensuring consistent and visible improvements.


Conclusion

Skin scraping facials offer a powerful yet gentle approach to skincare, combining the benefits of traditional gua sha techniques with modern beauty expertise. From reducing puffiness and defining facial contours to enhancing skin tone and texture, this treatment provides a holistic way to achieve radiant, healthy skin.

At Lavish Skin By Nelly, experience the transformative effects of skin scraping facials in a professional and relaxing environment. Their personalized approach ensures every session is tailored to your unique needs, delivering immediate results and long-term benefits.

Book your skin scraping facial at Lavish Skin By Nelly today and discover how this ancient practice can elevate your skincare routine. Your journey to luminous, rejuvenated skin begins here!

‘The Haas Company Vol 3 Presents Song For Mimi Featuring Samuel HÄLLKVIST’

If you’re a fan of good jazz fusion and the finest experimental rhythms around, then look no further than ‘Song For Mimi’.  Steve Haas is on drums on this album and he is also the founder of The Haas Company and executive producer on this new release.  Steve’s deep love for modern jazz and inventive rock inspired him to start up this company.  ‘The Haas Company Vol 3 Song For Mimi’ is stacking up to be one fine record where extreme originality reigns supreme.

Swedish guitar sensation Samuel Hällkvist is the featured artist on this album who handles electric & acoustic guitars. All material on ‘Song For Mimi’ was composed, arranged and produced by keyboardist Pete Drungle with help from his longtime friend & collaborator Steve Haas.  Drungle plays Rhodes, Moog Odyssey, Mini Moog, various synths and acoustic piano on the new album.  Rounding out the musicians we have: Sean Lennon on guitar & bass atmospherics, Kirwan Brown and Guy Pratt (of Pink Floyd) on bass and violinists Jerry Goodman (famed for his work with the Mahavishnu Orchestra), Nicolas Draps, Todd Reynolds, Robert Wechsler, Mark Feldman, and Scott Tixler.  Together, these esteemed artists have created a piece of work that is nothing short of spectacular with ‘Song For Mimi’.

Drawing from the classic 70s fusion era, this record explores those aspects while also incorporating new & innovative approaches to music making.  The album starts off strong with “Aphelion” that is simply jazz fusion at its finest.  The thrill is real as electrifying grooves will leave you wanting more on “Aphelion”.  Get ready for mesmerizing chords, memorable notes and an out-of-this-world sound on “Shaguzo”.  Next, the listener will be subjected to a colorful performance that really POPS on “In Cologne”.  Stellar instrumentation can be heard and played with such finesse as “In Cologne” is musical mayhem done right.  The musical ensemble is soaring high and kicking it up a notch on the following number “Smacky McBrown”, which proves to be a rock-solid recording.  An intriguing melody draws you in on “Country Cousin” where a sense of wonder floats past your ears.  “Country Cousin” offers plenty of depth musically and is rich in substance.  Take a stroll down the “Tokyo Sidewalk” where this composition is taking off with one sturdy beat and a vast universal sound that surrounds you.  The ensemble is in full control and groovin’ to the MAX on “Tokyo Sidewalk”.  The title track is on deck and “Song For Mimi” is beautifully orchestrated with a wonderful arrangement in place.  “Song For Mimi” truly speaks volumes from a performance standpoint where the instrumentation is flawless.  Get ready for an enjoyable ride that will have you on the edge of your seat on “Last Song”.  Excitement is certainly in the air where “Last Song” is igniting your senses from beginning to end.  The Haas Company closes out with authority on “The 1970’s” where the full band is bringing everything to the table and not leaving any musical stone unturned.  The energy is off the charts on “The 1970’s” and the audience will receive a fulfilling & entertaining finale.  

Released under Psychiatric Records & Tapes LLC, ‘The Haas Company Vol 3 Song For Mimi Featuring Samuel Hällkvist’ is a high-quality record that deserves major recognition.  With creative solos and masterful playing, this album has something for everyone.  ‘Song For Mimi’ has been referred to as “a fusion classic of the 21st century” and I concur with that statement.

Stephen Jacques Presents ‘Native American Sweetness’

The language of music transcends race, nationality, and language, serving as a powerful tool that can bridge cultures. While there’s still a long way to go to make amends, Stephen Jacques’ Native American Sweetness is a touching apology to the Native Americans who lost their lives and land to colonialism.

With his thirteenth studio album Pioneers and Fragrant Flowers, Stephen Jacques transports the listener to the American frontier era. While Stephen is no stranger to experimentation, this album is a significant step out of his comfort zone and pushes the limits of expression in the alt-rock genre.

STREAMING: (Bandcamp)
https://boxofmoxie.bandcamp.com/track/native-american-sweetness

Native American Sweetness is the most touching and emotional song on this album, and begins with praise for the beautiful Native American land, complete with golden corn fields and blue skies before “the white man slowly took the land”.

The soaring chorus decrying the industrialization and greed that followed the settlements is filled with both passion and powerful musicianship. The harmonies formed by Stephen’s gravelly tenor together with Jennifer Hall on backing vocals adds an intensity to the song that is fitting of its subject matter.

Stephen does not hold anything back with his songwriting on this track, opting to speak directly instead of sugarcoating the reality of the frontier. He lashes out at the cowards, fools, and greed that decimated the local civilization. Even though he doesn’t tell a story, the picture painted with his hard-hitting lyrics carries imagery as strong as any tale.

The lyricism of Native American Sweetness is perfectly complemented by Stephen’s composition. The track contains two beautifully melodious guitar solos that serve as an outro to the emotionally heavy chorus. Meanwhile, the verses are supported by soothing guitar accompaniments that set the vibe of the American wild west.

Native American Sweetness is the kind of track that only an artist of Stephen Jacques’ maturity could have pulled off. It is sad while it is beautiful. It is apologetic while being honest. And while its message is political in nature, it speaks to the humanity deep within us instead of partisan differences.

Celebrate Mother’s Day with Brooke Moriber on Heartfelt New Single “I Still Need You” OUT NOW

Celebrate Mother’s Day with Brooke Moriber on Heartfelt New Single “I Still Need You” OUT NOW

Brooke Moriber has released her deeply emotional new single, “I Still Need You,” to Spotify and all major streaming platforms. Written alongside acclaimed songwriters Jay Knowles and Alicia Witt, the song is a poignant and honest love letter from a daughter to her mother—capturing the complicated, beautiful push and pull between independence and the lasting need for unconditional love.

Listen HERE!

“I Still Need You” tells the story of growing up, growing apart, and realizing that no matter how far you go or how strong you try to be, there’s still comfort in the one person who raised you to chase your dreams. With lyrics like “Mama when I push away, I don’t mean to / I just need to make my own mistakes,” the track embraces vulnerability and acknowledges the power of maternal love across time and distance.

The single arrives just in time for Mother’s Day, offering the perfect tribute to the women who shape us—and a reminder that even the strongest among us still need a place to land.

“This song came straight from my heart. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt torn between needing their mom and needing to find themselves. I think so many people will connect to that internal tug-of-war,” says Brooke.

Brooke Moriber is a singer/songwriter and native New Yorker who has paved an unconventional path for herself in Country music. After getting her start at a young age professionally performing on Broadway, Brooke turned to songwriting as a teenager to cope with losing her eyesight to a rare eye disease. When the disease went into remission after a difficult four years, Brooke began traveling to Nashville to tell her own stories. Praised for her “clarion voice” (Associated Press), she went on to release her first single “Cry Like A Girl” independently and later signed with Nashville’s Reviver Records.

Brooke’s music has been featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday Country (Half A Heart, Little Bit Of You, Down to Nothing) and Country Christmas playlists (All I Want for Christmas is You), Sirius XM’s Velvet, CMT online, Music Choice Network and the Music Row Country Breakout radio chart. Hailed as a “stellar songwriter and a powerhouse vocalist” (Country Swag) and a “force to be reckoned with in Country music” (Celeb Secrets Country), Brooke has shared the stage with artists ranging from Scotty McCreery, Cyndi Lauper and The Gin Blossoms to Dylan Scott and Caroline Jones.

The former Broadway star and current Reviver Records country music sensation also hosts her bi-monthly “Nashville in New York (NINY)” Songwriters in the Round series, bringing a Nashville-style songwriting round to the heart of New York City; this most recent show featured an intimate acoustic performance with Brooke alongside the legendary Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Little Anthony of The Imperials, and rising country star Charly Reynolds, hosted by guest MC Jim Murphy, Director of Country Programming at the Music Choice Network.

Previous NINY shows have showcased the talents of Little Anthony of The ImperialsAverie BielskiBrennley BrownCalista ClarkKara DioGuardiIan FlaniganJohn HampsonCassandra KubinskiToby LightmanCharly ReynoldsTerre RocheEmily ShackletonShane StevensJon StoneClaire Wyndham and members of the 615 Collective (which includes tunesmiths Aaron GoodvinSarah DarlingMichael Logen and Nicole Witt). The series has also boasted top guest MC’s like Kelly Ford from THE WOLF and multi-platinum hit songwriter Sam Hollander. Brooke also recently hosted and performed with songwriters Randall Fowler, Matt Stell and Erin Kinsey (and special guest star Kenya Reese) at Wild Goose Saloon in Denver, CO for a special “Nashville in Denver” event.

When she is not bringing Nashville to New York or Denver or performing somewhere else on the road, Moriber is hard at work in the studio with some of the industry’s top writers and producers, including Todd Lombardo and Craig Alvin (Kacey Musgraves), Karen Kosowski (Mickey Guyton), David Pittenger (GAYLE, Parmalee) and currently working on a project with Sol Philcox Littlefield and preparing to go into the studio with Emily Shackelton and Claire Wyndham to record a special collaboration as a trio.
