Dave Curl releases his latest single Empty, a dreamy and atmospheric track shaped by worldly slide-guitar textures, melodic whispered vocals reminiscent of Roger Waters, a Sting-like mood, and a soothing melody that relaxes the listener while carrying a subtle Snowy White vibe. Heartfelt, touching, and rooted in real human experience, the song gently pulls you into its world. Empty is now on our A-List Playlist and will be played daily as a special BALLAD POWERPLAY at 5 PM Pacific USA time for the next month.

Swiss singer-songwriter Dave Curl, born with English-Australian roots, has been crafting thoughtful folk-pop-rock since 2015. His music blends introspective lyrics with authentic melodic storytelling, connecting deeply through honesty and emotion. With more than 2 million streams and over 4,000 playlist features, his songs have reached listeners across the globe. He has played more than 300 shows, from intimate solo sets to dynamic duo performances, and continues to refine his expressive, heartfelt sound with each release.

His debut album Introducing (2021) was followed by the EPs Slave To Instinct and Hold Me Close, and in 2024 he released Lockdown – Seven Nations, a collaborative project uniting rap artists from around the world. Recent singles such as Don’t Talk Anymore, Running Wild, Riders, and Red Flag showcase his evolving sonic identity and emotional depth.

Now comes Empty, a hauntingly beautiful and melancholic acoustic rock song about burnout, disconnection, and the longing to escape. It captures the feeling of running endlessly in life’s rat race, chasing goals, losing touch with yourself, and realizing you’ve drifted far from what truly matters. Built around intimate vocals, raw acoustic guitar, and soft atmospheric layers, Empty unfolds with honesty and vulnerability. It serves both as a personal confession and a mirror for anyone who has ever felt drained by the pressure to keep going when there’s nothing left inside.

For fans of reflective and emotion-driven music—think Ben Howard, Damien Rice, or Kurt Vile—Empty blends melancholy and beauty into a sound that lingers long after the final chord fades. The single is set for release on November 13, 2025.

Brand new on the A-List Playlist is ‘Every Second’, the melodic and emotionally-charged country-tinged rock single by John Consalvo. Lifted from his conceptual album Voyage on Soulmate Seas, this track is a masterclass in heartfelt songwriting, catchy hooks, and warm, polished production. With its soaring vocals and powerful storytelling, ‘Every Second’ is set to spin every few hours on the station, and will also feature as a special ROCK POWERPLAY at 5:30 PM Pacific USA time for the next month.

Voyage on Soulmate Seas marks a bold and deeply thoughtful project from lifelong songwriter John Consalvo. A conceptual collection of thirteen original tracks, the album tells a story through cinematic soundscapes and intimate lyrical reflections. Opening with a spoken-word piece titled Passing The Torch, the journey unfolds with acoustic finesse, electric energy, and Consalvo’s distinct vocal presence.

Early highlights include Where Do I Find Her – a euphoric rock track with emotional weight and poetic depth – and the more playful, acoustic-led Jilly Bean, which brings a lighter touch to the album’s arc. From there, listeners are pulled into the emotional power of Alone, a Bon Jovi-esque anthem that contrasts bright, uplifting melodies with themes of heartbreak and release.

The southern rock spirit comes alive in Get My Million, a gritty and infectious anthem that critiques the illusion of wealth as a path to love. It’s followed by the introspective and poignant Every Second, which showcases Consalvo’s ability to blend folk-rock intimacy with a universal emotional reach. The track’s acoustic warmth and raw vocal delivery make it a standout moment on the album – and now, on air.

Further down the line, tracks like IMY evolve into Goo Goo Dolls-style pop-rock anthems, while Sometimes brings a heartfelt vulnerability that’s both cutting and comforting. Instrumental interlude The Miss adds cinematic flair, leading into the gentle storytelling of Show Me How To Live.

The album closes with strength and variety – from the hopeful And There She Was, to the blues-soaked harmonies of Shake My Soul, and finally, the energetic Now We’re Off, which brings a pop-punk finish to this expansive and engaging journey.

With Voyage on Soulmate Seas, John Consalvo proves himself a master of narrative-driven rock, weaving poetic depth with melodic magnetism. ‘Every Second’ is just one gem from this rich collection, and its addition to the A-List Playlist guarantees that more listeners will discover the beauty and strength of Consalvo’s work in the weeks ahead.
