NEW MUSIC: Corina Corina – Bar$

If Broadway could take a break from recycling blockbuster movies, how about creating a show about New York’s artist/bartender scene?

SONG PICK: RubēHill – Apartment

Drawing from seemingly contrasting influences, “Apartment” is as appealing as it is refreshingly different.

SONG PICK: Abi Wade – A Bit Like Love

Photos show singer/songwriter Abi Wade often with a cello, but this is by far not the only instrument she employs in her debut single “A Bit Like Love”. Starting quietly with a piano, the song swells with orchestra, synths, a choir and marching drums to a shiver-inducing finale. Abi wrote[…]
