Hope you all survived the start of Daylight Savings Time yesterday. Hopefully today’s great music will give you the jump start you need (that and several cups of coffee). We’re getting really excited about our return to LA next month, and looking forward to the Hollywood Fringe Festival, our debut solo show, Livin’ the Dream (a journalistic journey), and celebrating women at the third annual LA Music Critic Award Winners Showcase. We hope to connect with all of our LA peeps at at least one of these events.
NEW SINGLES
Our first single this week comes from one of the scheduled performers at this year’s Showcase, Brigitte Purdy, who took home wins for Best Blues Artist and Best CD (Female).
Our second single comes from the cold vastness of Denmark. The Straw Family Band have been thrilling us since we introduced them to you back in July 2017. Their latest, “Perfectly Fine,” is another prime example of why we love them so much. The tune is melancholy while still upbeat and features stirring vocals that uplift and give the song its intended positive vibe.
Next up is the first single from Americana/Indie Rock duo Anana Kaye. We love the harmonies and the intriguing vocals, and think this song should do well in both Americana and Indie Rock/College radio circuits. Check out “Blueberry Fireworks.”
We had intended to feature our next single a few weeks ago, but it got lost in our email. We are very pleased to present it now, as it is pure classic country that we can’t get enough of. Check out Marty Brown‘s “Umbrella Lovers” and we think you’ll love it too.
Our final single this week is an amazing work of R&B smoothness, featuring the amazing vocals of Dominique Tey. Her EP will drop next month, and this tasty appetizer should get you ready for it. Here’s “Every Part.”
NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
We kick off this week’s music videos with this torch song from the amazing Fiona Grey. We definitely agree with her assessment that we need more “Girls Like Me.”
Our next video comes from Kakkmaddafakka, which we introduced to you in our Ten Great Singles of February. Here is the video of that same song, and we love it. Get up and dance your cares away.
Likewise, our third video is the latest from Blue Élan Records artists Red Wanting Blue, featuring the stunning vocals of Liz Brasher. We introduced this song to you a couple of weeks ago, and we can’t get enough of it. Check out “I Got a Feeling it Hurts.”
We featured Kat Holland‘s song “The One” in our post-Grammy Monday Mashup, and she has now released a music video for it. We love the sound of her voice, which is elegant, airy and full of life. See what we mean.
We close out this week with the heartfelt sound of Cameron Hawthorn, who likes to be “Dancing in the Living Room.” Sounds like a great idea, don’t you think?
