Album Spotlight: Notice – Chapter One: Dreamer

Hey, rockers and rebels! Today, we’re diving into the debut album that’s been making waves in the alternative scene: Notice’s Chapter One: Dreamer. Strap in, because we’re in for a wild ride through the mind of Brandon Bruce, the mastermind behind Notice.
The Lowdown: So, who’s Notice? Well, it’s not your typical band setup. Brandon Bruce is a one-man powerhouse hailing from the heart of Nashville, Tennessee. He’s not just your average musician – Brandon plays all the instruments, produces, and engineers his own stuff. Talk about a jack-of-all-trades!
The Vibe: Chapter One: Dreamer isn’t just an album; it’s an experience. Brandon’s poured his heart and soul into these tracks, and you can feel it with every riff and lyric. From high-energy anthems to introspective acoustic jams, this album takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions.
The Standout Track: Let’s talk about “This Love.” It’s like Orwell’s 1984 got a punk rock makeover. Brandon takes us on a journey through love, betrayal, and defiance, all set to a killer guitar backdrop. It’s the kind of song that sticks with you long after it’s over.
The Lyrics: Ever felt like you’re caught in a web of lies and deceit? Then you’ll relate to “This Love”. Brandon’s lyrics hit hard, painting a vivid picture of two souls torn apart by forces beyond their control. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s downright powerful.
Final Thoughts: Chapter One: Dreamer isn’t just Brandon’s debut – it’s a statement. It’s about staying true to yourself, even when the world tries to tear you down. So, if you’re looking for an album that’ll make you think, feel, and maybe even start a revolution, give Notice a listen.

Marz Starlife Makes A Striking First Impression With Healing

Every once in a while, a debut comes along that doesn’t just introduce an artist – it reveals a soul. Marz Starlife’s first EP, Healing, is exactly that. It’s raw, it’s heartfelt, and it doesn’t pretend to have everything figured out. Instead, it leans into the messiness of real life – the mistakes, the heartbreak, the isolation – and tries to make sense of it all through music. Born in Jamaica, raised in the UK, and now back on the island, Marz brings a cross-cultural perspective to his storytelling, but at the heart of Healing is something deeply human: the need to reckon with the past in order to move forward.
Across the project’s standout tracks, Marz doesn’t hold back. In Bad Memories, he opens up about years lost to incarceration, fractured relationships, and the weight of regret. “Spent four birthdays locked up, baby remember me please,” he raps, in a tone that’s both matter-of-fact and aching. The production stays subdued and moody, letting the lyrics breathe. There’s no glorification of the streets here, only reflection. He admits to being young and caught up in the chase for fast money, but he also shows growth, making it clear that he’s not the same person he once was. It’s a track that lingers, not because it tries to be flashy, but because it feels real.
The title track, Healing, is where everything clicks. Marz taps into something almost spiritual as he raps, “I turn pain into power, darkness to light.” The song is layered with poetic lines and subtle emotional shifts, balancing toughness with tenderness. There’s a determination to rise above, even when the scars still sting. He reflects on his upbringing, his time in the streets, and the inner battles he continues to fight. “No shrink can understand how I’m feeling,” he says, and honestly, it’s hard not to believe him. The pain here is too specific, too lived-in. But instead of letting it swallow him, he uses it to fuel something greater.
What’s refreshing about Healing is that it doesn’t try to fit neatly into any one genre or narrative. Marz blends elements of UK hip-hop, Jamaican rhythm, and emotional rap into something that feels uniquely his own. He’s not here to be the loudest or the flashiest; he’s here to be honest. And in a world full of over-produced, over-polished music, that honesty stands out.
With Healing, Marz Starlife has given us more than a debut; he’s given us a mirror into his journey, and maybe even our own. Whether you’ve lived through similar struggles or are just someone who appreciates music with depth and heart, this EP is worth your time. It’s a reminder that healing isn’t linear, but it’s possible, and that sometimes telling your story is the most powerful thing you can do.
