On the heels of releasing his eighth project of 2018 with Back From the Dead 3, Chief Keef delivered another unique surprise for fans to close out the year. The Chicago native stars in the latest episode of Audiomack’s Trap Symphony series, which dropped Wednesday, featuring a fantasy collaboration mixing Keef’s drill music with a live orchestra for a bizarrely tuneful...

Polyphia’s new album New Levels New Devils sure is something, right? “This shit bumps,” said MS scribe Dick Gozinya in his official review, while also adding “you’ll probably go apeshit” and advising you “resist the urge to pass.” All wise words. I’m not sure I’d describe this piano and string medley of Polyphia songs as “bumpin’” like...

The original accompaniment is extremely dynamic. When I was originally recording it, I thought about doing it super bare bones. Then I kept hearing different accompaniment in the vocals. We met the composer Summer Swee-Singh when Circa Survive was touring in Los Angeles who had done a map up on YouTube of a couple of...

A classically trained pianist posts a cover of a rock band’s track--and winds up on stage with them. A piano instructor draws on favorite game tunes on Instagram mini-etudes for students--and ends up working together with a popular composer on an album of arrangements, complete with sheet music. It’s all thanks to covers and social media, and it’s changing the way music gets made in some of the most productive, lucrative niches of the music industry...

You might not (yet!) be familiar with the name Summer Swee-Singh, but I don’t think that will be true for very long. Summer sent me her debut album, Summer Swee-Singh and the Crazy 88, in January of this year. I wasn’t familiar with her name, but the album cover was intriguing! Fast forward a couple of...

Having performed in front of audiences as large as 10,000 people, this composer, pianist, and music arranger strives to be a powerful female voice in today’s music industry. Today she releases her new single “JFN (with Prelude).” The track is a new version of her previously released solo piano...

Summer Swee-Singh & the Crazy 88 is the debut album by Southern California pianist/ composer/ keyboardist/ music director/ film scorer/ arranger/ and piano consultant Summer Swee-Singh.

Summer Swee-Singh is veteran performer that presents a polished sound in each track on her latest self-titled releaseSummer Swee-Singh & the Crazy 88. Her sound resonates with a self-assurance and gracefulness that instantly attracts you and vitalizes your senses, or revitalizes, whatever your need may be. For me it usually is the batteries that need to...

The 2012 Grammys confirmed that EDM had entered the mainstream, but Dave Grohl didn’t really seem to be on board. A debate ensued. But if you ask Summer Shee-SinghSwee-Singh — who’s been playing the piano since she was 8 — EDM is quite worthy. She’s been putting together classical arrangements of genre stars like Skrillex and Daft...

Skrillex loves it when folks cover his songs, which is good because there are a billion of them. When we met with the twenty-three-year-old producer in San Diego recently to interview him for this week’s cover story — out today — he noted that he was particularly impressed with fan-made YouTube versions of his hit “Scary Monsters and Nice...
