It’s another week and we’re celebrating my brother’s birthday today. It’s the last official week of summer, and it’s finally starting to cool down in Oklahoma City as we head into the fall. So many great songs and videos have been headed our way, and we’re glad to share these with you.
NEW SINGLES
First up this week is “Fine,” courtesy of The Honest Heart Collective. We love this powerful and uplifting rock and roll song that deserves heavy rotation on the radio. Let us know what you think.
Our next single is no less powerful although it comes from the singer-songwriter side of things and sounds closer to the style of Enya. Listen carefully to Yvonne McDonnell and her song, “Mud,” all the way from the UK.
Single number 3 comes from S+C+A+R+R, a French up and coming R&B artist. His first single, “White Lies,” is a great start to his future career. Check it out here.
Single number four is “Reclaim” from Baby Taylah from Glasgow. We love the beauty of the arrangement and think this one belongs on Top 40 radio. Let us know what you think.
We close out our list of singles with the latest from American Matt LeGrand and Venezuelan Mestiza, “I’ve Been Watching You.” It’s smooth and trendy, with its mixture of Latin hip-hop, soul and R&B. We think it’s a solid hit.
NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
First up is a song that I can totally relate to, because it’s about the loss of your father, which I just experienced about 22 months ago. This song is so well written and introspective but make sure you have some tissue handy. Here is “Again for Me” by Kasador.
Our next video came out during our “black-out” period, but is worthy of sharing with you. It is half-blues/half-classic rock and we love it. Grab some “Lemonade” from Bobby Messano.
Combine the surf attitude of Huntington Beach, California with the rastafarian feel of Jamaica and you have DENM, who’s “Blowing up.” This tune will provide you with the perfect farewell to summer song.
Video number four is a stunning interpretive dance for the latest from the amazing Erin K – “Sometimes.” If this one doesn’t inspire you, then nothing will. Hats off the the incredible dancing of Alex Neuff.
We close out this week with the unbelievable songwriting and voice of Los Angeles’ own Katie Ferrara. Her voice says it all and the cinematography is absolutely beautiful, truly capturing the essence of her song “Loud and Proud.” Come join the party.
