After working 36 of the past 48 hours, I finally got a day off today. As of tomorrow, I have been promoted to Shift Manager and will be working evenings on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Wish me well in this challenging new position. In the meantime, here is our final Monday Mashup of April, with five new singles and music videos for your perusal.
NEW SINGLES
First up this week is an incredible collaboration between Charla K and Discrete entitled “Feed me With Love.” This upbeat dance-pop track will have you dancing all over the house during quarantine. Enjoy!
Next up is another young voice with an obvious old soul. She mixes jazz, R&B and pop to create the masterful “Away.” Give it up for Amira B.
Our third single may be a little explicit, but we could easily hear an edited version on Top 40 radio. We love introducing you to the sound of Lexy Panterra – enjoy the “Fall.”
Continuing in the R&B/neo-soul vein is Atsuson Jr, another voice we could definitely hear on the radio. If his songs keep being this good, we will definitely “Stick Around.”

We close out this week’s new singles with the next amazing single from LA’s legendary Binx. We think this is her best one yet, as she continues to set the standard with “Blazing.”
NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
Last week we shared her new single, and this week we’re pleased to share the music video for the latest from Blue Élan‘s country songbird, Chelsea Williams. Let’s get “Wasted.”
Our next video captures the songwiter’s intent behind the song. Many of us remember the thrilling moving Eyes of Laura Mars, and the captivating theme song “Prisoner,” sung by Barbra Streisand. The song was written by indie blues artist Karen Lawrence, and she shows the power of the song in this simple acoustic video. Enjoy this throwback.
Speaking of throwbacks, our next video breathes new life into the classic Tears for Fears monster smash, “Shout.” We are totally in love with this cover by indie band Trope, and think they will amaze you as well.
Speaking of amazing covers, the Blue Élan family of artists recently recorded a video for Earth Day of the classic The Guess Who song, “Share the Land.” This one is truly better than the original – enjoy!
We close out this week’s edition with the latest artist to become part of the Final Fantasy franchise. This time it’s local indie artist Ellee Ven. Her song “I’m Gonna Rule Without Dominating” is featured in Final Fantasy XV AMV. Rock on!
