Artists Worth Checking Out indie music Monday Mashup Singles and Videos

Monday mashup 2021 (vol 19)

Hope you enjoyed this past weekend of Juneteenth and Father’s Day.  Are you ready for a new Monday Mashup?  We got some great new singles and music videos, so let’s get this party started.

NEW SINGLES

Our first single is a powerhouse collaboration between two of the most soulful indie artists we have ever had the pleasure of knowing.  We’re talking about vocals from the one and only Debby Holiday and the incomparable Chris Pierce, combined with a sizzling soundtrack from Brett Oosterhaus.  Check out the radio edit of their hot new tune, “Love and Beats.”

Next up is the latest upbeat treat from LA’s iconic BINX.  She just keeps getting better and better.  In fact, she’s “Glossy,”

Track number three is the latest country offering from the classy Casey Ahern.  This one brings back so many memories and we love all the references to great country classics.  Here’s “Heartbreak Radio.”

Here’s a Monday Mashup extra – hard to believe that it was 30 years ago when CCM artist Amy Grant set the music world on edge with the release of her first pop album, Heart in Motion.  To celebrate she has re-released the album, complete with new songs.  Here’s “Don’t Ever Want to Lose It (Wind in the Fire).”

Next up is a sweet upbeat tune from Bella Paton.  We love her light and airy sound and her sweet vocals.  Check out “Spacey,”  We hope to hear more from her soon.

We close out this week’s singles with this soulful and reflective ballad from Swedish American duo Flora Cash.  This one will stay with you long after the song ends.  Here’s “Don’t You Look at me That Way.”

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS

It’s been a few years since we last caught up with LA songstress Scarlett Taylor.  We have previously reviewed three albums and featured three songs on Monday Mashup. and we think her latest music video is one of her best.  Here’s “California Dreamin.”

Next up is the latest from 2018 LA Music Critic Award nominee Andy Sydow.  This one has a pure country radio-friendly sound and a humorous video.  Check out “Just One More Time.”

Our third video is the final one from her album While the Angels SighBlue Élan Records artist Cindy Alexander has done it again with a stellar lyric video for her song “Chiaroscuro.”

Next up is a video from hot British duo Superlove.  This one will definitely get your juices flowing.  Celebrate “The People You’ll Love Forever.”

Closing out this week’s music videos is this feel good tune from Canadian group Parks N’ Rec that will definitely get you ready for summer with its reggae sound.  Time to bid “Adieu” to the past.

Monday mashup 2018: vol. 15

If it wasn’t a holiday, today would be tax day, but thanks to the holiday, you still have until midnight tomorrow to file your taxes.  Got ours done last month, so we’re just waiting for the refund.  Let’s get this week started with five new singles and music videos, and here we go.

NEW SINGLES

Our first single today comes from Europe, and features Norbert Gobor of Hungary and Vivian Franken from The Netherlands,  combining their talents as Dream Map.  Their first single, “Infinity,” is incredible, with majestic soundscapes and vocals that soar high above the music.  We can think of no better song to kick this off with week.

Our next single comes from a marriage between an American and a Scandinavian, resulting in Flora Cash.  Their single, “18 Dollars,” talks about the end of a relationship, and is relatable to just about everyone.

Our third track is a rocking number from Espanola for their tune, “Outside Saskatoon.”  The song has obviously been influenced by classic rock bands from the 70’s, and we simply love it.  Let us know what you think.

Next up is Harts, an artist we featured last month.  His latest single is “21&19,” and it’s an upbeat hip-hop/funk tune that is fun and reminiscent of the late great Al Green.

Our final single today is from alt-rock artist AlphaCub.  It is called “James Dean,” and it is an awesome homage to the great actor.  Enjoy this one with us.

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS

Our first video is from Twang and Round.  This band has some powerful vocals, with the female side sounding a lot like Janis Joplin.  Check out “Devil to Pay,” and let it rock your Monday.

Our next video comes from LA phenom Dree Mon, who continues to burn up the indie music scene with her second single this year, “No Chill.”  If this one doesn’t get you moving and grooving, then you are beyond hope.  This one is a definite contender for best video of 2018.

Let’s slow things down with this intriguing video from Sean McMahon for “Show me the Way.”  It is a tight song with amazing cinematography, and we think you’ll dig it as much as we do.

Check out our fourth video from the absolutely gorgeous alt-soul group Corina Corina.  Here is their homage to those service industry workers at the local “Bar$.”  This one is hot.

Last but not least this week is a video from Theda.  This slow jam will give you something to think about as we move through this week.  Enjoy “Out of Sight Out of Mind.”
