Monday mashup 2021 (vol 13)

We’ve got something in the works that has us pretty excited.  We will reveal it in about three weeks.  Needless to say, it will be a definite game changer.  We can’t wait to share the news, so stay tuned.  In the meantime, here’s our first Monday Mashup of April, as the indie music community continues to amaze us with its creativity.

NEW SINGLES

Our first single this week is the latest from Kris Angelis‘ forthcoming album, The Skies we Look To.  It is a sweet soothing ballad with a serious message about growing old, and we could easily see this one as part of a Hallmark movie.  Grab a glass of wine, settle back in your favorite chair and check out “Sunset.”

Sunset · Kris Angelis (spotify.com)

Indie artist Matt Hartke continues to impress us with his feel good pop music and his latest is one of his best to date.  Get comfortable with his upbeat musical accompaniment and stirring lyrics in his latest “St. Augustine.”

Our third single comes from Blue Élan Records artist Chelsea Williams, and it’s a cry in your beer country classic.  Reminds us of classic Patti Griffin and we are in love with Williams’ continuing growth as an artist.  Here’s “Moonshiner,” part of The Cave Sessions album soon to be released.

It’s been three years since we introduced you to the music of Band of Silver, and it sounds like they have been perfecting their craft.  They’re back with a pair of singles that we are so happy to share with you.  Check out “Looking for a Friend” and “Are We Are We Not.”  They will definitely get your heart rate up and propel you to the dance floor.  Rock out!

Our final single this week is from Aubrey Toone, who we introduced you to last August.  Her latest is powerful and sounds like a cross between Meghan Trainor and Ariana Grande.  Enjoy “Gold” – it lives up to its name.

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS

This week’s new music videos kick off with another Blue Élan artist, the incomparable Scout Durwood.  She combines amazing music with comedy and never fails to deliver.  Here’s her latest, “Millennial Malaise.”

Back in March we shared Kris Angelis’ single, “I’d Give Anything,” and she’s just released a music video for the song which truly brings it to life.  This one will definitely get your week going strong, and truly belongs on CMT.  Say hello to the next great country superstar.

If you like harmonies, you will love the latest from Bryan Lanning and Brennley Brown, two rising country singers.  We wholeheartedly agree with the words of this song, and think they could indeed help us remain “Steady.”

The Greys get real with their latest video for their single, “Get Lonely.”  We can all relate to this one.  So nice to hear from them again – it’s been a long two year wait.

We close out this week with the new video from another Blue Élan artist, Roan Yellowthorn.  She takes us on an “Acid Trip,” and we are happy to tag along.

Monday mashup 2021 (vol 10)

Sorry for the lateness but scheduling conflicts prevented us from publishing our weekly Monday Mashup column yesterday.  We will be off-grid next week but back again on the 22nd with another edition.

Speaking of our column, if you want to be included, please make sure that you include a public link from either Soundcloud or Spotify with your request.  Also please be aware that we do not preview the singles and videos before their release date, so please do not send follow-up emails before your single/video is released to the public.

With that housekeeping hint, and in honor of International Women’s Day, we present to you this week’s new singles and videos.  We hope you enjoy these tunes and that you take the time to check out the artists.

NEW SINGLES

Los Angeles is home to some of the finest songwriters in the world, and recently, six of them combined to form anall-female collaborative band.  Composed of Tawny Ellis, Pi Jacobs, Heather Anne Lomax, Amilia K. Spicer, Deb Morrison, and Manda Mosher, The Wild West have released their first single, “Better Way,” and we love it.  We can’t wait to see what they come up with next.  After all, “We are the change.”

Better Way · The Wild West (spotify.com)

Next up is a cover of the classic America hit, “Sister Golden Hair” that is a totally fresh vision.  Performed by Blue Élan Records artist Chelsea Williams, the cover is part of an collection of covers by other labelmates in honor of the release of Gerry Beckley‘s long awaited greatest hits album, Keeping the Light On.  Prepare to have your mind blown.

Sister Golden Hair · Chelsea Williams (spotify.com)

It’s been a few weeks since we last heard from LA’s iconic songbird, Kris Angelis, but she’s back with a new single, “I’d Give Anything.”  Definitely add this one to your rotation of daily inspiration.

I’d Give Anything · Kris Angelis (spotify.com)

Our fourth single comes from rising star Casey Ahern with her ballad, “Bradley.”  We really love her thoughtful lyrics and the sweet easy vibe of this song.  We think she’s well on her way to stardom.

Bradley · Casey Ahern (spotify.com)

Last but not least this week is the latest from another Blue Élan artist, Car Astor.  She sings a moving ode to her friend “Sarah,” and we think this one will move you to your core.  Grab a glass of wine and enjoy.

Sarah · Car Astor (spotify.com)

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS

Last week we debuted her new single and this week we are happy to share the accompanying lyric video for “Try, Try, Try” from the iconic indie rock star, Cindy Alexander.  We think this is one of her best songs ever, and we hope you will check her out.  We especially love the hand drawn animation by Anik.

Next up is a chilling video for the latest by Rachel Lorin, a haunting cover of “The Killing Moon” by Echo & The Bunnymen.  The cinematography is stunning, and Lorin’s voice adds a memorable touch.  Don’t watch this one late at night.

Our third video is from another Blue Élan artist, Roan Yellowthorn.  Check out the thrilling video for her radio-worthy single, “Vampire.”

Next is the latest from one of our favorite duos, Aly & AJ.  We love the home video feel of “Pretty Places,” and their harmonies are to die for.  Enjoy this one and put it on repeat.  It really makes us want to hit the road again soon.

Our final video this week features a classic Betty Boop cartoon as background for the lyric video for “Thirsty” by Elizabeth and the Catapult.  Have fun with this one.

Monday mashup 2021 (vol 6)

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.”

Meet You In Our Dreams · Kris Angelis (spotify.com)

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.”

Distance · IAMTHELIVING, Teon Gibbs (spotify.com)

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.”

Try to Remember · Melissa Polinar (spotify.com)

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!

VS. · Eddie Cohn (spotify.com)

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.”

Monday mashup 2020 (vol 17)

Wow, what a week!  Oklahoma got hit with a huge ice storm last week that knocked out power for a lot of people, and made work almost unbearable.  We worked nearly 60 hours and our sales were up 150%, causing us to run out of just about everything, including our patience.  So glad things are beginning to return to normal, and we have a little time this morning to post our long overdue article.  Check out these great new singles and music videos.

NEW SINGLES

First up this morning is the latest blues masterpiece from LA Music Critic Award winner Brigitte Purdy.  She’s on the “Memphis Hotline” and we’re sure glad we got to participate.  Purdy only gets hotter with each new song.  This one is a true keeper!

From the blues we switch to R&B, and the incredible sound of up and coming artist Christine Nguyen.  She compiles a lot in her song “Finding Happiness,” and we’re ready to join her in her journey.  This one is perfect for today’s election.

Speaking of the election, Wildwood Franklin has a political winner with his latest Americana/blues classic, “American Trump Card.”  It’s a reminder to all of us to get out and vote if we want to change the direction our country is heading.

Who doesn’t like an 80’s throwback?  Katie Wood goes back and resurrects that iconic sound in her latest tune, “Where Have You Been?”  We hope she’s around for a long time.

Our final single this week comes from rocker Jacqueline Tucci, who invites us to come “Home.”  We love the classic sound of this track and think we have not heard the last from this young Toronto artist.

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS

With election day upon us, the amazing LA singer/songwriter queen Kris Angelis reminds us we need to find “My Quiet,” and not let the anxieties and cares of this world overcome us.  We wholeheartedly agree.

Next up is another LA-based group of incredible musicians, Lucy & La Mer.  This time around they bring us the upbeat and positive song, “Better Than I was Before.”  Let’s take their advice and be our best.

Nikki O’Neill is a rising Americana artist who just relocated from LA to Chicago.  In her latest video, she reminds us that the “World is Waiting” for the power of love to rise up.  Let’s lead the charge.

Time for a little fun.  Here is a cool punk rock video from New Jersey band Boy Blue which features the vocals of Jaret Reddick of Bowling for Soup.   They are looking for fun with the “Ghost of Saturday Night,” and we bet they will find what they’re looking for.

Our final video this week comes from LA female-fronted band Kitten, who remind us of the days when “Angelina” was breaking into the movie business.  This one is sure to get your toes tapping and your feet on the dance floor.  Have a great week.

We hope you enjoyed our review of The Imaginaries‘ live concert and are ready for some more great new singles and videos.  Here are this week’s selections.

NEW SINGLES

First up is the latest from one of our absolute favorite indie musicians, Nina Storey.  She’s been busy during the pandemic and recently released her third single.  Once again, her heavenly voice and brilliant songwriting have delivered an instant masterpiece.  Check out “The Bones.”

Continuing the theme of arising out of the ashes of this pandemic is the latest from Michael McFarland, an upbeat inspirational pop tune called “The New Contagion.”  We love the energy and the hopeful lyrics.  Let us know what you think.

As we recently celebrated World Mental Health Day, our next song is truly relevant.  Toronto artist X. Ari presents her latest single, “Lifting Up,” from her new EP which is all about mental health issues.  Listen to the words as the energizing beat gets your spirit up.

Our fourth single comes from the smooth blues/jazz/rock sound of Goldflēce, who is planning to “Tie One On.”  This one is perfect for chilling down after a long day of work.  David Goldflies is one half of The Allman Goldflies Band, and we cannot get enough of this solo effort.

We close out our singles this week with the latest sweet treat from LA’s iconic BINX.  This time around, she tells us “I’m in Love With a Rapper,” and is joined by Mata Atoms.  We are in love with her and her amazing body of work.

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS

First up this week is the latest from the reigning queen of the LGBTQ musical movement in Los Angeles, the incomparable Abby Posner.  Check out the debut of Frupert, the amazing bass-playing character in Posner’s video “Where I Wanna Be.”

This next video was released a couple of months ago, but we felt it was perfect for today.  We love the sweet harmonies of sister act Southern Halo, and we stand by the sentiments expressed in this lyric video for their masterpiece, “Don’t Let Another Day Go By.”

Our third video is a rocking lyric video from LA’s infamous rocksters Rocket.  They’re “Losing Breath” over the state of our nation, and encourage you to vote.

Next up is an Americana tune that is sure to propel LA’s sweet Kris Angelis into the national limelight.  It is a timely song called “Ghost (I’m Alive and Breathing),” and makes us giddy with the possibilities.  Angelis has paid her dues and her music is ripe for worldwide acceptance.  We truly dig this tune.

We close out this week with a sweet song about that annual event in the life of each person, their “Birthday.”  We can never get enough of the music of Kensington Moore, and we can relate to the sentiments of this song.  Until the next one, “raise a glass.”

Monday mashup 2020 (vol 9)

Hard to believe that I started writing this article back on May 4.  The Covid-19 pandemic has been hard on me, and I’ve been less motivated to write.  I have been averaging around 50 hours a week working at Pizza Hut as a shift manager, and my few off days are usually spent resting up.  As a result, I have not published anything in the past nine weeks.  What really hurts is that no one seems to have noticed, as not one single person has checked up on me.  The review requests just keep on coming, but there has been no personal touch, and I almost feel like I’m wasting my time here.

Don’t get me wrong.  A lot of great music has been released in the past two months, and I still think that more than ever, we need good music to help us survive and persevere during these trying times.  But just because we have to be socially distant outside doesn’t mean that we can’t still be close on line.

In the midst of this chaos, here are five new singles and music videos that we hope will give you the strength to carry on, whether you are still on quarantine or an essential worker.

NEW SINGLES

This first single sums it up for us, and I’m sure many of you are in the same boat.  We have proud to present Magnus Bechmann with his new single, “Uneasy,” which is truly how we feel right now.  It’s super sweet, but listen carefully to the words.

Our next single comes from Finland, advocating “The Next Great Holiday.”  We love this song and think this new band, Fan Theories, has a great future ahead of them.

One of LA’s most unique artists is back with another sure-fire hit.  Check out “Diamonds,” the latest from the one and only Binx.

Single number four comes from BBC favorites, The Trusted.  We love their sound and are moved by their lyrics.  Here is their latest, “The Innocent.”

Our final single this week is also from the UK and features the 80’s influenced sound of Ben Hobbs.  We could listen to this one all day, and we think you’ll really dig the sound of “Own Arms.”

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS

We just celebrated our Independence Day, and the best fireworks were provided by our favorite LA rock band, The Spider Accomplice.  They have truly set a new bar with their latest epic song, “Crawl.”  Our first reaction was a comparison to Evanescence meets Queen.  What do you think?

Next up is our favorite singer-songwriter from Los Angeles, the sweet and prolific Kris Angelis.  She has just released a beautiful lyric video for her song “Ghost (I’m Alive and Breathing),” and we think it’s her best song ever, with the perfect country vibe.  Take the lyrics to heart.

Speaking of lyric videos, the folks at Life.Church Worship have released their latest, “Heaven’s All Around.”  We think this is one of the best worship songs ever written.

Our fourth video features one of LA’s brightest LGBQT+ performers, Abby Posner.  She speaks her mind in her song “Blind Spots,” doing the song with multiple versions of herself.  Definitely listen to the lyrics and shine a light on your own blind spots.

We close out this week with a timely video from Lucy & La Mer, who remind us that we are all in this “Together.”

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.

https://soundcloud.com/user-914489524/promised-land/s-U6D1l

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.”

Monday mashup 2019: vol. 34

We’re now in the second half of November and headed towards Thanksgiving.  We’ve got some great new singles and videos for you today, and hope that they make you thankful for indie music.  Enjoy these treats.

NEW SINGLES

We kick things off this week with the latest from another of our favorite LA indie artists, Kris Angelis, a multiple winner of the LA Music Critic Award.  This time around she confesses “I Hope I Never Fall in Love Again,” although her fans have truly fallen for her.  Listen to the words of this song, and let her know how much you care for her craft.

Next up is Brooklyn pop star Laney Lynx, who confronts her friend’s “Bad Attitude.”  Although the sound is upbeat, make sure you pay attention to the lyrics.  This one is powerful.

Our next single comes from indie alternative pop duo Kar.  They share the frustrations of being “On Our Own.”  We’re sure everybody can relate.

 

Single number four is a beautiful song from UK pop songstress Tropico Don, who describes the process of seeking help from your friends as being her “Orion’s Belt.”  We love it and can’t wait to hear more.

Our final single this week is from another fabulous Blue Élan Records artist, Amy Wilcox.  Hear her country spin on the seminal Christmas carol, “Silent Night.”

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS

The boy band vibe is strong in the latest video from Little Hurt.  They remind us that “It’s OK not to be OK.”  We strongly recommend this video for the shear fun of it, but also encourage you to listen to the lyrics, and take them to heart.  They have dedicated this video to support the work of Hope for the Day, a group that is helping to prevent suicides.

Next is the incredibly creative video from The Envips about the power of pop culture to change our image of success.  Check out “Last Star,” and relive the life and struggles of Marilyn Monroe.

Our third video is pure dance pop joy from the creative mind of LX.  She talks about people who keep putting the “Blame on Me.”  We guarantee this one will get you pumped up.

Next up is the soulful R&B goodness of Jacob Seeger, who wants to know if you’re “Down.”  This song is a cinematic masterpiece, and we love the sweet sentiments reflected in his lyrics.

We close out this edition of Monday Mashup with the latest lyric video from LA Music Critic Award-winning country trio, Southern Halo.  This one is called “Missing Mississippi,” and it is wonderfully done as a series of Polaroids.  Never give up following your dreams.

https://soundcloud.com/juliazahramusic/do-you

Our third video is from one of our all-time favorite female artists, Kris Angelis, who has won multiple LA Music Critic Awards.  We love the beauty of the cinematography on her new video for “Reappear.”  Get lost in this one.

Corinne Cook provides a light-hearted look at break-ups with the humorous video for her song, “One Box of Tissues.”  We think she offers sound advice.

Our final video is a retro-laden song that will give you the chills, and comes to us from Canadian band Maybelleen.  Check out their tribute to “Emily.”
