I've discussed this song previously and talked about how it's probably one of my favorite tracks due to the nature of the content. It's positive and it's uplifting and it reminds us that we have to fight as hard as we can because life is worth it. It's a song about putting trust in yourself and knowing that things will work out through perseverance and drive.

What do you say when one of your best friends gets to release a new video for a passion project he's been working on since 2017? What do you say when that friend continues to grow and become the man you know that he's meant to be? I've had the honor and the privilege to watch Justin work on this song and hear how it's grown into what it is today.

Guitar Solos. Can we talk about them and how music isn't music without them. This song has a killer one and it harkens back to a time when every song had one and it makes me damn happy. UK Indie Pop group, Blood Sugar have released a new single that's a gorgeous, melodic indie pop forward take on a break up and I'm here for it. There's an amazing breakdown going into the chorus that Pop, Rinse, Repeathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14354689990293024685noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846441108207680393.post-70688590165818924522019-07-12T08:00:00.000-05:002019-07-12T12:51:01.527-05:00Alus - Fuck Nudes, Send Me Your Playlist
So I adore this song for a ton of reasons. First and foremost....the idea behind it. Connecting on a level that means so much more than just physicality. A body is a body is a body. Some are more attractive than others. Some are more unique than others but once you've seen one naked person, there are only a few variations on the base model.

"Some days were sunlight, some were rain"
Joe Lekkas can do no wrong in my ears. His voice is like honey. Warm, nostalgic, familiar, honey. Palm Ghosts are that amazing group that I wouldn't have fully understood as an angsty teen in the nineties but I would have been wholly into them but as an adult, I would have looked back and gone...."Damn, I get it now" but as an angsty Pop, Rinse, Repeathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14354689990293024685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846441108207680393.post-25912146473450511352019-07-09T12:05:00.002-05:002019-07-09T16:56:26.844-05:00Kit Taylor - Persephone
Writing about a songwriter is one of the more challenging aspects of this job than others because you have to totally ignore the vocal performance and judge the song strictly on the words alone. And when the vocal performance is as good as it is on this track, it's damn hard. So looking that this song from Hades perspective makes it a bit easier.

There are a few musical tropes that get me. Singing in staccato is one of those and when it's used properly it's as versatile as a punctuation mark. With both the track and Connar's vocals, they absolutely know how to properly utilize this from the sticky slap bass to the pre-chorus where Connar just drives the song forward note by note. Sour is creating pop music that isn't exactly right.

Simplicity. There are more times than not that we don't even come close to that. There are times when we get so wrapped up in making sure there's a place for everything we forget to edit and we are left with something that simply overwhelms us. That's not what's happened with the newest single from Swedish-Persian singer, Hessam. In his new track, "Getaway", Hessam is supported by the most Pop, Rinse, Repeathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14354689990293024685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846441108207680393.post-20388123746927391682019-06-28T08:00:00.000-05:002019-07-09T12:36:04.685-05:00Palm Ghosts - Better to Know
The New Romantic era of 80s New Wave is probably my most favorite time periods in music. Whether it's Echo and the Bunnymen or The Cure or The Cocteau Twins or to some extent singles by INXS or The B-52s, that whole time period was beautifully expressive and to hear a song in 2019 that immediately sweeps me back to that much more innocent time in my life makes me swoon with enviable Pop, Rinse, Repeathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14354689990293024685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846441108207680393.post-86551530033187029922019-06-25T12:20:00.002-05:002019-06-25T12:20:52.868-05:00Thailah - Joy
First let's talk about this beat. It's very reminiscent of tribal percussion that pull you in and keeps you right where you need to be. It's the perfect vehicle for Thailah (pronounced Ty-la) to float over top of with vocal stylings very similar to Lily Allen or Cher Lloyd and those are two of my favorite young British artists.

Subversive, sexy, sultry. This song is so much more than a sexy romp through anonymous sex. This song is about connection on a much deeper level but it's disguised as something super sexy and slick. Liquid Diet has always been one of my favorite groups because they don't play by anyone's rules but their own.

Beautiful vocals with minimal production. What could be better? I've already become smitten with Iris' vocal delivery and how she makes you feel like you've been friends forever and then you throw in some killer harmonies on the chorus and I'm done.

The official video for "Lynwood" by Son of Cabe has dropped and the oversaturated live performance video is exactly what this song needed. Nothing over the top. Nothing too flashy.

There's something very special about Megan Vice. Something that someone recognized early on and know just how to make the best out of what she has to offer.

Psychedelica. It's got champions in artists like Tame Impala, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Animal Collective and many others.

It was either "Renegades" or "Unsteady" that I heard first and then I saw the special video they created for "Unsteady' and I immediately fell in love with this band. They have a sound that's got a whole lot more soul infused in it than your typical alternative music and I think a lot of it comes from the fact Sam Harris and Casey Harris are brothers.

The guitar in this song immediately drew me in and made me need more of it and to see that it's Alba, herself, killing it on the guitar makes the song so much better.

I ran across a Twitter post pointing out this song and decided to take a chance and am damn glad that I did. I am unfamiliar with Dylan Matracia as an artist but I guarantee that I'm going to spend time getting to know him.

Being an independent musician is a blessing and a curse. You get to do things on your own time with your own creative freedom but you don't have the support of a label helping you market your work.

The more and more I think about it, the more I gravitate toward music that stands for something. Whether it be catharsis, expressing emotions that we are able to connect with, or empowering people and reminding us that we aren't alone out there. We get so wrapped up in the day to day grind that we forget that through it all, we are fighters and we are survivors.
