Monday mashup 2019: vol. 25

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.

Monday mashup 2019: vol. 13

It may be April Fool’s Day, but the quality of the music coming out of the indie community is no joke.  This month has five Mondays, so we have an extra opportunity to highlight outstanding singles and music videos.  Let’s get it going.

NEW SINGLES

Our first single this week is a blast from the past.  Many of you fell in love with the sound of The Rembrandts, especially if you were fans of the television show, Friends.  Well the lads are making a comeback, courtesy of the fine folks at Blue Élan Records, and have released their first single, “How Far Would you Go?”

For our second single, allow us to introduce you to pronoun, an amazing one-woman band with an incredible pop sound.  Here’s the title track from her forthcoming album temporary insanity, which will be released in May.

If you like television theme music, then you will love our third single from Run Coyote.  We love the retro feel of 60s television on “The Chase.

Just when you think you’ve heard all the possible mash-up combinations along comes a band that mixes disco with metal.  They are actually quite good and go by the name Makes my Blood Dance.  Here is their first single, “Beaming Right Up.”  See you on the dance floor.

Our final single this week is from Jenny Tolman, an upcoming country songstress who was recently named as the Facebook Artist of the Day.  She shows why she was chosen on her latest single, “High Class White Trash.”

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS

Are you one of the countless fans that made Glee such a cultural phenomenon?  If you are, then our first video will definitely appeal to you.  It comes from Kevin McHale, who portrayed the affable wheelchair-bound character Artie Abrams.  On his first ever solo project, he has written an incredibly danceable song, “Help me Now,” and has created a lyric video for the tune.

Next up is a chill video from Erin K.  We love her sound and think you will dig it as well.  Here’s “Frame to Freeze.”

Our next band, The Happys, comes from the San Francisco area and bring back fun surf music with a hint of punk on their single “Cut the Rope.”

Our fourth video comes from goth rockers Skiver.  These guys will blow you away with a sound like an entire band of Adam Lamberts.  Here is their song “No Goodbyes.”  Rock on!

Our final video is a soothing tune from Elisa Kate which we think is the perfect segue to the week.  Enjoy the beauty of “Now or Never.”  See you soon.
