It’s that rare fifth Monday, and we have a very special Mashup for you today. We are proud to debut a new single that is being released tomorrow, in advance of the release of the artist’s first novel on November 6, which is based on notes from her ten years of touring in Los Angeles and San Diego. We are in the process of reviewing the book and think you will love her new sound and new stage name. In addition, we have five new singles and five new music videos to share, so let’s get this party going.
TABITHA RHYS TO RELEASE FIRST NOVEL
Tabitha Rhys is a long-time indie artist who has taken her experiences from touring through Los Angeles and San Diego to write her first novel, Love Music Madness, which is being released on November 6. Check out the book trailer:
That song you hear in the background was written by Rhys. Since she no longer has a band, she enlisted the help of Stereium to create the “Lana del Rey” sound. The song is being released TOMORROW, but we have a sneak preview for you today. We really love her style, and can’t wait to review the novel and any more music that follows. You can purchase the single on iTunes.
LA MUSIC CRITIC LAUNCHES INDIEGOGO CAMPAIGN
Our very own LA Music Critic has launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise money for his first solo show, scheduled to premiere at HFF19 in Los Angeles next June. Please check out his campaign and support him if you can. We thank you for whatever you can contribute.
NEW SINGLES
Our first single comes from another amazing artist from Blue Élan Records, whose new album V will be released in January 2019. In the meantime, enjoy the southern charm of The Vegabonds‘ new single, “I Ain’t Having It.”
Next up is “Hiya”, the latest offering from TNEO (The New Electronic Orchestra). They wanted to say hello to all their current and future fans with this delightfully upbeat song. You can’t help but be uplifted by this beautiful pop/classic sound, and we think you’ll soon become a fan if you aren’t already.
Our third single comes from one of our favorite female indie artists. Jess Klein has consistently delivered amazing songs, and her new single, “Mammal,” is no exception. Enjoy this one, and be free to be you.
Our next single comes from Perth, Australia-based artist Frankie Crea. We think you will love his new song, “Dream.”
Our final single this week is from Canadian band Victory Chimes. Check out “Halos” from their forthcoming album, due for release next month.
NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
Our first video this week is from Ziggy Alberts, another amazing Aussie indie artist. We love the simple and sweet sound of “Stronger,” and think you will too.
Next is “Killah,” the visually stunning music video from indie folk artist Frank James. This one should become one of your favorite jams, as he mixes hip-hop with folk to create a truly unique sound.
We are so proud to present our third video from the amazing Jane Ellen Bryant, who we recently reviewed in our Get it or Forget it series. Check out this incredible video for her song, “Too Smooth.” We think it truly describes this artist.
Our fourth video is likewise smooth, with the groovy R&B/soul sound of Dom Marcell. Here is his song, “Thats Whats Up.”
We close out this week and the month of October with this video from Germany-based trio The Trouble Notes. This is one of the best pop/classical songs we have heard and we love their video for “Grand Masquerade.” We think you will truly love both the sound and the cinematography.
