Monday mashup 2019: vol. 39

It’s the eve of Christmas Eve and I just returned from a long day of work at Pizza Hut, with just enough energy left to post this week’s Monday Mashup.  We hope these five new singles and five new music videos will give you what you need to make it to Christmas.  Enjoy the time with family and friends.

NEW SINGLES

First up is a refreshing cover of the classic Christmas song, “Silent Night,” from the rising superstar vocalist Alexa Villa.  We love her pop/rock take on the song, and think this one will bear hearing quite a few times.

Next up is another incredible Christmas cover, this time Bing Crosby‘s “White Christmas,” provided by the ever wonderful sound of Matt LeGrand.  May all your dreams come true.

Let’s take an instrumental interlude and share the inspiring piano licks of Sheldon Pickering‘s “Song of Thanks.”  Be thankful for family and friends and that you have a job.  I know I am.

 

This next song is from an artist we just recently met last June.  The single, “Lonely Time of Year,” is produced by our dear friend Shane Alexander, and we can’t wait to hear the rest of the album.  Say hello to Arielle Silver – we think you’ll be hearing a lot from her in the future.

Our final single this week is an upbeat number from Harris Breyfogle.  We love the funky sound of “Angela,” and can’t wait to hear more.

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS

Our first video this week features the powerful vocals of Christina LaRocca, that combine the sound of Janis Joplin and Tina Turner.  This girl can wail, and we will be right there listening to “Breathe” until her next track drops.

Next up is the truly inspiring sound of boerd featuring Stella Explorer.  We think this one will give you plenty to celebrate and is a live session for their song “Before we Drown.”  Enjoy!

Video number three features the stellar vocals of singer-songwriter Mattie Leon, who reminds us of life’s “Silver Line.”  Let the truth of the words soak in, especially at this time of year.

Next up is the rocking sound of Pointless, who are anything but.  Their song is called “Half Empty,” but it definitely does not leave us with that impression.  We can’t wait to hear more from them.

We close out this week with the killa sound of Monsta X and their latest song, “Middle of the Night.”  Have a wonderful Christmas week and we’ll see you next week for our final Monday Mashup of 2019.
