Monday mashup 2019: vol. 38

Only nine days away from our first Christmas in Oklahoma, and the weather is reminding us that it’s winter.  Still waiting to see if we’ll get anything white, but in the meantime, it’s bitterly cold.  Seems like the perfect time to warm up with some great new music and videos, so let’s get started.

NEW SINGLES

First up is a beautiful collaboration between 23rd Hour and Caley Rose, who we recently introduced you to.  This one is called “Get me Home for the Holidays,” and it is making us wish that Christmas was tomorrow instead of next Wednesday.  Hope it lifts your holiday spirits as well.

Next up is the latest from one of our favorite LA songbirds, the one and only Kris Angelis.  This time it’s the time track to her upcoming EP, “That Siren, Hope.”  We think it’s the best she’s ever recorded, and would love to know what you think.

Single number three spotlights another bright young songwriter named Katarina Cain, and is entitled “Promised Land.”  We think she’s headed there, as evidenced by her excellent showing on Season 15 of The Voice, and we are proud to tag along.  This one will definitely get your week going strong.

Next up is the latest from the amazing voice of Sofia Evangelina.  This one is called “Smile,” and it has us grinning from ear to ear.  This one is going on perpetual repeat.

We close out this week’s new singles with the latest from the uber-talented Kensington Moore.  She gets her revenge in the form of “Karma,” and we’re glad we’re not on her bad side.  Enjoy this one.

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS

Well, since the ladies were featured in the Singles category, we’ll give the guys their due and feature them in the Music Video category.  First up is Feudale‘s lyric video for their song “Teenager.”  We bet this one will bring back some memories.

Next up is another lyric video, this time from the hard-rocking metal band Runescarred.  This one is called “Mammoth,” and it’s huge.  Go ahead and head bang to your heart’s content with this one.

Our third video is called “A Thousand Years Away,” and we’re glad we don’t have to wait that long for the rest of the album to be released.  We love the melodic rock sound of Atlanta rockers The Endangered Species, and will definitely keep our eyes on these lads.

Next is the latest video from the incredible rock band Violates/Violets.  This one is called “Soft Core,” and it’s get everything you want in your rock music video.  Enjoy this holiday treat.

We close out this week with a stimulating animated video that captures Johnny Stranger‘s tribute to that holiday classic The Nutcracker Suite.  Here is “Marche.”

Artists Worth Checking Out indie music Singles and Videos Ten Great Singles

Ten great singles released in November 2019

Happy Black Friday!  Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We spent the day with my brother’s in-laws, his wife and kids, her brother and his family and lots of dogs.  The food was plentiful and it was a very relaxing day, despite the cold and rain.  Today it’s off to brave the crowd at my Sam’s Club before heading back to Pizza Hut tomorrow for the annual day of bedlam, when OK faces OK State.  In the meantime, here are Ten Great Singles that were released in November, on top of the previously shared 20 singles from our Monday Mashup.  We hope you enjoy them.

We kick things off with Mrs. Henry, a classic rock band from San Diego, which will release its latest effort, a live album, on January 20.  Here is “All I Can Do (live).”  We love their retro sound and hope it kicks off your day perfectly.

Next up is the latest from Canadian singer-songwriter Andria Piperni, a neo-soul tune tinged with R&B and jazz called “Yours.”  We are proud to share this instant classic tune and encourage all “hopeless romantics” to check her out.

Single number three comes from the smooth sound of C. SHIROCK, who is “Lost to the Night.”  We think he could easily become one of our favorite voices.  This one is powerful, and we think perfect for this time of the year.  It tells the story of his producer’s brother and their heartfelt reconciliation.  Share this one with everyone.

Next up is an electronic duo that formed their band while on a flight to Europe.  The sound is pure 90s and full of what made electronica so popular.  Check out Divine Astronaut and their debut single, “Undone.”

We round out our first five with the return of Sonja Midtune, who we have previously featured back in February.  This one is absolutely stunning, encouraging and powerful.  Check out “Talk to Me.”

We interrupt our Ten Great Singles article to present the latest from multi-platinum selling artist Anna Nalick (“Breathe (2 a.m.)”), who has recently signed with Chesky Records.  She brings her unmistakable style to a cover of the classic song, “As Time Goes By.”  We are happy to hear a totally different sound from her, and think you’ll love her version of this standard.

Our second five starts with the dynamic sister duo The Parkers.  Here is their latest, “AI Mind,” and we think it deserves serious airplay on the radio.  Let us know what you think.

Next up is a single released today from Vicky Sometani that is upbeat, fun and truly worthy of its title, “Breeze.”  Put this one on repeat and chill.

Single number eight is an R&B/soul smooth jam called “Fourth of July” from the stunning LA artist, Jane Q Public.

Our ninth single reminds us of early Colbie Cailat, and we are head over heels for Caley Rose.  We think her new single is definitely “Worth the Trip.”  With a debut this strong, we think she can definitely go anywhere, and we’ll follow.

We close out this edition of Ten Great Singles with the latest silky and jazzy smooth jam from Kylie Odetta.  This one sums up what most of us are feeling this time of year, “Too Broke Too Busy.”  Enjoy your Black Friday and we’ll be back soon with our Ten Amazing Videos set.
