Los Angeles artist Dree Mon is back with the follow-up to her smash hit “Rebel Soul. Check out “No Chill.” It should get your week off to a rousing start.

Our final new single today is from Words in Flight. It is a delightful but eclectic tune called “The Ravenous Affair.” Don’t forget to check back on Wednesday for our “Top 10 New Singles” feature.
NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
Our first music video comes from Becky Buller, an amazing bluegrass/Americana artist who we reviewed last week. Check out the video for “Speaking to that Mountain.”
Our next video is also from an artist we reviewed last week. Here is LadyChild with the rocking song “Out of Breath.”
Last but not least, here’s a fun video from Harts for his single, “Ain’t Nothing on Me.” We think it will get your blood flowing and your feet moving to start the week. See you again soon!
