Now that we have featured our 30 favorite singles for the month of January, let’s turn our attention to our 30 favorite videos. We have already shared 20 of them via our weekly Monday Mashup column, and now present our final selections here in this Ten Amazing Videos article.
We’ll get started with an interesting rock video from the band Nixon’s Ghost. This one has a very retro feel, and some pretty good animation. Check out “Once you Leave.”
Our next video is from Hawksley Workman, a truly gifted musician who we think is destined for greater things. Here is his moving video for “Lazy.” We think you’ll really like this one.
Our third video is a stirring live performance by Emily King of her new single, “Can’t Hold Me.” We absolutely love her vocals and everything about this song. What do you think?
Video number four comes from Budapest, with the rocking sound of Ivan and the Parazol. Here is their intriguing video for “Changin’.”
For our fifth video, we bring back one of our favorite indie artists, Tiffany Young. She has a new look but the same great sound. Here’s her latest, “Born Again.”
Next up is a stunning video shot along the Italian coast for Czech artist Thom Artway‘s latest single, “Can’t Wait.” We can’t wait to check this one out.
Video number seven is a deeply disturbing yet moving video that visualizes the final track to the new album by Dollshot which we recently reviewed. “Nacht und Träume” was written by Schubert and the lyrics are based on a poem by Matthäus von Collin.
The latest from For Esme, a truly introspective tune called “To Love,” is our eighth video for this edition of Ten Amazing Videos. We love the segue mid-song to an almost disco-esq dance beat. Enjoy this one.
Our next to last video this month is from the one and only Jess Ribeiro, one of the premier indie artists from down under. Although we don’t understand what’s happening in the video (and maybe that is on purpose), we still love the sound of “Stranger.”
We close out the month with the latest video from Toronto’s treasure Ace of Wands, the video for the title track of their forthcoming album, “Lioness.” This one will move you to the core, especially the battle with self-destruction. Long live the Ace of Wands!
