Jacobi Ryan continues his 52in365 campaign with a look into his creative process. Being an artist who’s putting out new music weekly is pretty hard, when you get down to it, especially good music.

Read moreNew SOTBMusic: see.francis Embraces the Melody on "Moonwalker"
see.francis previewed this one to me a few weeks ago and I commended him for trying something different, but still within his wheelhouse enough that it didn’t look like he was “riding someone else’s wave.” “Moonwalker” is a bit different from see, since it features him utilizing a slight sing-songy flow.
