Steve Hale Unveils Soulful New Single, Over & Over

Published

on

Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Steve Hale released his highly anticipated new single, Over & Over. The song tells the story of a heartbroken man who embarks on a tropical escape, hoping that sun-drenched shores and a few colorful cocktails will mend his shattered heart. As he indulges in his sorrows, his gaze falls upon a captivating woman, and his imagination takes flight—has he truly found a new chance at love, or is it just a daydream induced by the island breeze?

Hailing from Oregon, Hale has built a reputation for his soulful songwriting and evocative vocal style. Drawing inspiration from legends like Kenny Loggins, Daryl Hall, Sam Cooke, and Bill Withers, his music seamlessly blends melody and groove, forming a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. With Over & Over, Hale showcases his signature ability to craft emotionally resonant songs that connect deeply with audiences.

Performing alongside an A-list ensemble of Portland’s finest Funk and R&B musicians, Steve Hale leads Steve Hale and the Super Soul Heroes—a powerhouse band comprised of top-tier players whose résumés boast performances with The Tonight Show, the Oregon Music Hall of Fame, and Berklee College of Music. Their collective credits span collaborations with icons such as Diana Ross, Placido Domingo, Curtis Salgado, Blind Boys of Alabama, and The Jaco Pastorius Big Band.

“I love to take familiar songs and dress them up in different sonic clothing while interweaving my original material into the mix,” says Hale. This philosophy is evident in Over & Over, where his signature blend of soul, R&B, and pop creates an immersive listening experience.

Throughout his career, Hale has demonstrated his versatility, from fronting power pop, glam funk, and rock bands to winning an international songwriting contest and co-authoring songs with acclaimed Canadian rock singer Gino Vannelli. He has also composed music for modern dance and collaborated with PlayWrite, an organization dedicated to helping youth find their voice through music.

With Over & Over, Steve Hale continues to solidify his place as a force in the music world, delivering a song that is both heart-wrenching and hopeful—a sonic journey through heartbreak, imagination, and the possibility of new love.

Teen Creeps drop indie-rock banger ‘No-Show’

Published

on

Four years after their album “FOREVER”, Belgian indie rockers TEEN CREEPS are back with a new single. The gruff “NO-SHOW” is a return to form: fuzzy guitar riffs, energetic drums and a dash of melancholy immediately make it clear that the band is still hungry after more than 10 years. A ripping guitar solo is the cherry on the cake. You could call it DINOSAUR JR on speed or a distillate of the best of the FOO FIGHTERS. But equally, you can discern the influence of indie hero SPARKLEHORSE. So, as always, TEEN CREEPS eagerly harks back to the nineties. “That’s in our DNA. But we’re not a retro band. We just want to carry the torch. Or at least keep the fire burning,” says Joram De Bock (guitar).

‘NO-SHOW’ is the first single from the new album “TODAY IS THE DAY”, which will be released on 5 September via [PIAS] Recordings
