Steve Schuster – Mercy Me: A Melodic Rock Vision of a Better Future

Posted on 20 August 2024

Steve Schuster’s latest single, Mercy Me, is a melodic throwback to the college radio rock era which carries a revolutionary message of peace and democracy. Amidst the backdrop of increasingly extremist ideologies that surface with each election, Schuster offers a refreshing perspective. Through mellow guitar tones and layered vocal harmonies, he paints a picture of an alternative way to live—one rooted in seeking and creating peace.

Mercy Me is a utopia you can nestle into and be reminded that hope has never been futile. While it may be harder to find optimism within the divisions of society, as Schuster attests, a better way, where peace and democracy are the pillars of civility, isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

The tenderly assuring earworm stands as a testament to Schuster’s ability to tune into societal struggles and offer a salve through his melodically mellow art. It’s a song that doesn’t just evoke nostalgia but also inspires a vision of a future where unity and compassion prevail over division.

The award-winning songwriter, celebrated photographer, and seasoned CEO of Rainier Communication has turned his passion for social justice into a lifelong mission, Mercy Me is an affecting continuation of his unflinching determination to help others envision and materialise a better way of living.

With stunning vocals that flow out of his soul from his rough life growing up, he had a successful career before taking a long hiatus, as money and fame was never the pursuit, only making music and inspiring those who choose to listen to it.

He sings with love on this conscious classic that speaks on important issues that are still facing many today and with vocals that strike your heart and make you feel warm inside, he is an underground legend that is back in the game after many years away. You can feel his passion as he remembers the incredible 90’s, each word is sung with such precision and meaning to heat your senses and help you forget the worries of modern times.

‘It’s Not Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday‘ from New York’s indie r&b singer Black Camaileon, is a stirring rendition of a track that is one of the top songs of its generation and is sung so gloriously here. A fitting tribute indeed. that helps us realize that we can be so much more if we work together and plan for a better day tomorrow, as one team.

Only for the real: Birmingham singer Pavit Sanghera doesn’t want that ‘Fake Love’ on superb new single

Posted on 14 February 2021

Telling it how she truly feels, Pavit Sanghera sings so beautifully about what her heart really wants on ‘Fake Love‘.

Pavit Sanghera is a honey-tipped voiced soulfully real indie r&b/soul/Indian classically trained singer-songwriter from Birmingham in England. She sings marvelously with that inspiring honest feel, her captivating vocals rise above the tempting fake doors around you, as she affectionately leads you into the authentic energy that adds value to your mind long-term, whilst masterfully shutting out all of the unnecessary noise that just distracts you from where you need to be in your life.

She adds in her glorious Punjabi singing to blend such a tasty treat together for us to consume hungrily, as we think about those times we were with the wrong person for us completely, as we let our bodies decide, rather than our hearts. Her truthful story is sung with a loving touch, experiences interwoven into her caring nature, as she is a strong woman who is teaching us the right ways through her lovely music.

‘Fake Love‘ from the wonderful Birmingham, UK singer Pavit Sanghera, is that true story about how love gets cloudy sometimes between what your body feels is right and what your heart truly desires. Feeding your heart leads your soul into being full as ultimately, you want to be fulfilled in life where it counts.
