Push Me Review | Tarah Who?


 Written by Avijit Misra

Push Me Review

The first song of Tarah Who? that introduced me to them and made me their fan was Bad Time. I was impressed to see a talented female rock band, and I agreed with their stand about the music industry that’s ignoring and overlooking all-female rock bands. Released on December 17, ‘Push Me’ features Brazilian rock duo Yur Mum.

Push Me is a totally mind-blowing song. If you remember the classic songs titled It’s My Life and Living On A Prayer by Bon Jovi, then this song Push Me is the 2021 equivalent of those songs. One for today’s generation. The only difference is that this song comes from an all-women band. This song talks about competition and opposition pushing an artist to the maximum limit so that her/his best can come out. This is right because the way this awesome rock band puts it in this song, the music industry executives may ignore women rock stars, but fans who buy music and listen to it yearn for real talent.

Real talent cannot be ignored or suppressed for long. With inspiring lyrics and vocals laced with confidence meant to inspire young artists, instrumental music certainly excites rock music fans and convinces them that quality rock music exists in the modern era. This song can also motivate youngsters to give their best shot the industry has job/business in so that nothing would stand between them and success. Someday when people talk about the glory of Yur Mum, then everybody would talk about them being a part of a classic song, Push Me.

No doubt that Push Me is the best song from Tarah Who? who are destined to make it on top in the rock charts, sooner or later. If you want a sneak peek of the next big thing in the scene of American rock music, Push Me is a song that needs to be in your Spotify Playlist, and if you are active on YouTube, you must follow the official YouTube channel of Tarah Who?

Hasten Mercy Exclusive Music Review




Using retro synths and modern tools, "Hasten Mercy" is the newest project from Head Fake member Michael Baker. Created around the question of whether it is possible to refocus his musical energy after years of pursuing a path more travelled, the EP is sure to enamor and inspire listeners.

About Hasten Mercy

The whole project had made use of minimal fancy sounds or frills, but it maintains its 80s inspired flair. This makes the music quite straight forward, giving the listener a calm experience leaving you lost in thought. The whole project maintains themes of self-reflection and perseverance. These Things and I Break Everything give a more timid sound; there is still some amount of perseverance but both songs show the singer reflecting on past decisions. On the other hand, Star You Are, with its more upbeat tempo gives the listener some motivation while, also anchoring the project’s overall themes. I definitely get moments where the songs feel like a love letter to something/someone you once held dear to you. And this letter is one of appreciation and apology.

Michael’s latest project, "Hasten Mercy," is available on major platforms. 

About Head Fake’s Michael Baker

Married and uncertain of his future, a young Toronto native, Michael ignored the advice of his musical mentors and headed off to law school, eventually landing in New York City. With a young family and 18-hour workdays, music found its way into his home by singing his young daughters to sleep and exposing them to various genres and styles. Oozing originality, "Hasten Mercy" is destined to create waves by highlighting influences of the '80s such as The Smiths and Stone Roses without changing the essence of his origin.

Nicki Kris Exclusive Interview

 




Nicki, can you explain what your upbringing was like in Raleigh?


I actually grew up in New Jersey and up-state New York, but have called the Raleigh-Durham area home for almost half my life. It’s actually the longest I’ve ever lived in one place. Growing up was complicated. There were some family challenges and being adopted, I never really felt I belonged.  I always had a strong sense that I was supposed to be somewhere else.  This was when I really started to get into music.  Music was a way for me to escape and it became the family that I always felt I should be a part of. 

Why was it important to you that the season deserved a Christmas Song?

 

I’ve never been a fan of Christmas. My birthday is day after and it was always a reminder of a possible family that I didn’t know. It wasn’t until I had my own children that Christmas became an inspiration and a time of celebration rather than a hinderance.  This song is really a testament to what I now believe the Christmas season is all about.  


What was the creative process like for this track?

 

The creative process around this song was actually pretty simple.  Once the idea to write a Christmas song was solidified, I sent my co-writing partner and producer, Kevin McNoldy some rough demos I penned and recorded at home.  We tend to work pretty quickly bouncing ideas and rough versions back and forth to each other. The song framework was pretty much completed within a couple of days and we recorded the song shortly thereafter.  The initial version was released in 2017, with a recut done in 2018 to accommodate for a lighter vocal that we thought the song could benefit from. This is the version that is available today.

 

Who are some of the notable people that helped you along the way?


My co-writer and producer Kevin McNoldy.  And of course my kids who taught me the true meaning of Christmas.


The industry doesn't have many blends of Kelly Clarkson and Mariah Carey, can you tell us where you get the inspiration from?

 

I draw inspiration from several artists.  I grew up listening to Madonna, Michael Jackson, Fleetwood Mac, and my idol Pat Benatar.  Music was raw and pure back then.  Auto tune did not exist. I also get a lot of inspiration from bands such as Linkin Park and 30 Seconds to Mars. Chester Bennington was a brilliant voice and songwriter, and Jared Leto’s compositions offer the listener the ability to interpret the song as they hear it.  Both unique talents and mesmerizing voices that hit the core of your soul.


If music was not your only venue of expression, what would you see yourself doing?

 

I’d probably be a chef. I have a food allergy so I’m always looking for recipes to try that accommodate my allergy needs, but that are also healthy and taste good. I love to bake! 

Are there any artists in the future you find interesting to collaborate with?

 

30 Seconds to Mars of course!  I think it would be fun to also work with Pink and Kelly Clarkson.  They both seem like they are really down to earth. Doing something with Pat Benatar would be the ultimate collaboration bucket list item.


Are there any new projects you have in the works?

 

I’m actually working on a few things.  I have a couple of covers that I am working on along with an original rock anthem, as well as several compilations.  I’m also contemplating another personal EP or Album, in addition to putting together a female empowerment compilation album under my non-profit, Sisters In Music. 


Any last remarks?
