Here we go again. No sooner did I publish what was supposed to happen with my work hours than they changed it up again. This time they upped the timeline when they were supposed to close a store and gave us only two days notice that we would be taking over their territory – more than doubling our workload. I worked nearly 70 hours last week, most of it on the night shift. Can hardly wait to see what this week brings. In the meantime, we have five new singles and music videos to get your week off to a great start.
NEW SINGLES
Our first single this week reminds us that there are “Better Days” ahead. Thanks to Joe Dáccache for reminding us that we will get past these days of COVID-19 and social distancing. Make this one the first song you listen to each day.
Next up is “Porcelain,” a personal and poignant song about mental illness. Check out this heartfelt cry from Talitha Ferri.
Single number three is a sometimes discordant but deeply emotional song about doing what hurts you in order to make someone else happy. Check out “Stable and Steady (to be Happy) from Anima & Ennui.
Our next single has an airy 90s electronic feel that we simply love. Check out “She Keeps me in her Locket” by Venture Boi. We think you’ll want to hear a lot more from them.
Our final single this week is “Shelter,” a compelling ballad from Nia Ekanem. Let this one keep your spirits up as you stay at home.
NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
Our first video this week comes from an old friend who we have known and loved since we lived in San Diego (oh so many years ago.) Like us, she left the West Coast and moved east in pursuit of her dreams, settling in Nashville where she is at the top of her game. Please give it up for the one and only “lady in blue,” Alyssa Jacey, and her latest, “Why I Left.”
Next up is “Blisters” from the rocking indie band big loser. We love their energy and wish we could see them perform live. (They were supposed to perform here in Oklahoma this week.)
Our third video is from LA Music Critic Award winner Lauren Jaimes, who reminds us that “Home is Where you Are.” We totally agree with the sentiments of this video.
Next up is the latest from the brilliant minds of Birds and Arrows. Check out the harmonies and visuals for their song “Truth or Consequences.”
We close out this week with a truly amazing video from one of our favorite bands, We Three. Here’s their latest, “I Wanna Love Somebody.” This one will have you singing along with tongue firmly in cheek.
