We hope you survived Super Bowl weekend and are happy with the results of the game. Since our favorite team couldn’t be there, we cared more about the halftime show. Music always seems to make things better, doesn’t it? In that vein, let’s check out this week’s new singles and music videos.
NEW SINGLES
We kick things off this week with the latest from LA’s reigning indie singer/songwriter queen, Kris Angelis. This beautiful pop/country tune will have you humming along in no time as you contemplate the truth of her lyrics. We would find it an honor to “Meet you in our Dreams.”

Next up is the perfect culmination of R&B and hip-hop contained in this instant classic from London artist IAMTHELIVING and producer Teon Gibbs from Botswana. This song would have been the perfect addition to the soundtrack of Empire, and we are proud to share it with you in honor of Black History Month. Let’s all remember to go the “Distance.”

Our third single is a chill cover from a voice we have not heard since before the Pandemic began. Check out Melissa Polinar‘s version of “Try to Remember.”

Thinking back on our days of hosting shows at LA’s famed Genghis Cohen, one of the many artists we featured was Eddie Cohn. He performed quite a few shows for us but we had lost track of him until recently. He has been busy during the quarantine with creating a new album (out in April) and has released a pair of new singles. We wanted to share with you today the powerful dance track “Vs.” Feel the vibe and get up and dance!

We close out this week with the latest single from the co-creator of the premier indie songwriting organization, Songsalive! – none other than Australia’s gift to America, Gilli Moon. This one is truly hot, so don’t get burned by “Fire.”
NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
Our first video this week comes from an artist we introduced to you a couple of weeks ago, Jax Hollow. This one shows an entirely different side of this impressive artist, and definitely makes us want to “Drift Together.”
Next is the latest lyric video from Hollywood artists Lucy & La Mer. They tell us that love is a “Rollercoaster,” and we tend to believe it true. We think you will love this tune with its profound truths.
Our third video comes from Indigo Sparke, and is instantly memorable. Not only does she have a haunting voice, but the video has that “home movie” quality that is so nostalgic. Listen carefully to the words of this song and remember we need to always be “Colourblind.”
Next up is the latest from Americana artist Ray Cardwell. This one has a gospel feel, and the band kicks it into high gear on the truly memorable “Take me to the River.” This one should be put on repeat.
We close out with a music video that was shot in Los Angeles by The Lickerish Quartet, one of our favorite indie collaborations. This song brings back memories of the 90s sound of Journey, and definitely deserves repeated listens. Check out “The Dream That Took me Over.”
