Ten great singles released in October 2019

We can hardly believe that it’s November already, although Mother Nature has been getting our attention with these dramatic weather changes.  At any rate, it’s time to close the books on October with our Ten Great Singles and Ten Amazing Videos articles, so sit back and enjoy the groove.

First up is the latest from singer-songwriter Nadia Vaeh with her Halloween-themed song, “1,000 cuts.”  We love the sound of this song and think it belongs on the radio.  We can’t wait to see her video of this cool song.

Our next single comes from The Brilliance, a group we introduced you to the first Monday in October.  They have another great new single that is worthy of your attention, and makes us even more excited about their forthcoming album which drops in January.  Here’s “Facebook.”

Single number three has a great smooth groove that should help jump start your Monday morning.  It comes to us from Danny Zee and we are excited to hear his new single “Blue Butterfly.”  Definitely check this one out.

We introduced you to Lucas Laufen back in September when he released his video for “A Million Miles From Love.”  His new single is just as amazing, as he shares that “I Know Where the Silence Is.”  This is beautiful and contemplative music that should be great for your next chill time.

We round out the first five singles with this potential monster hit from KTJ & Carly.  They want to take us dancing in the “Moonlight,” and we can’t wait to join them on the dance floor.

We start our second five off with the latest from LA Music Critic Award winner K Michelle Dubois.  Her new single, “Feast or Famine,” has a definite 80s rock vibe and we are so glad to have her back again.  Enjoy this one!

Speaking of the 80s, the latest from Most People, “Breathe,” is reminiscent of Duran Duran meets Hall & Oates, and has our toes tapping and our ears salivating for more.  Enjoy this soon to be classic song.

The sound of Late Night Thoughts is about to go mainstream.  This band is ready to pop and their new single, “Postcard Park” is worthy of heavy rotation and serious placements in film and television.

Single number nine is a future pop hit from Canadian Kristen Karma, who is writing a “Dear John” letter to her departed loved one.  This one has excellent lyrics with plenty to think about, and a perfect rap in the middle of the song.

We wrap things up with “Phoenix,” which is one of the most powerful songs we have heard in quite a while.  It comes from Noella Rain, who we introduced to you in August.  Her vocals soar and her message is definitely needed in today’s crazy world.  Hard to believe she’s only 16 years old!

Ten amazing videos released in September 2019

We’re starting this week off with our list of Ten Amazing Videos released in the month of September.  There is quite a myriad of musical styles and genres, and we think we have picked a great sample of what we received.  Let us know what you think.

First up is the latest from the sultry female lead vocals of featured guest Haiva Ru on Napoleon Gold‘s song “Don’t Cut me Down.”

Our second video is a powerful visual of the amazing lyrical content of Lucas Laufen‘s “A Million Miles From Love.”  We think this one will truly inspire you.

Our next video is a funky flashback to the 70’s courtesy of Black Magic Flower Power.  Groove on the psychedelic sound of “Funky Town Sex Machine.”

We follow up funky with the mellow and melodic sound of Belgian band Portland on their latest tune, “Killer’s Mind.”  This one is worthy of multiple listens.

We round out our first five with this equally mellow song, “Alright” from Harry Nathan.  Relax with this jam.

Next up is an interesting combination – the Gayatri Mantra combined with a touch of Americana from LA Music Critic Award winner Fred Hostetler.  This one will make you think and hopefully meditate in its simplicity and beauty.

Video number seven was filmed in Dublin, Ireland and features the wailing sax and pyschedelic tones of Canada’s The Orange Kyte on their single, “Masquerade.”  Enjoy this blast from the past.

Next up is the bluesy groove of LA Music Critic Award winners Odds Lane on their song, “Seven States.”  We guarantee this one is worthy of celebrating.

On our ninth video, we get a special futuristic message from Manchester, England band Kerosene, warning  us of the dangers of artificial intelligence.  Check out “Automaton.”

We close out our list with the latest from LA’s own Lucy & La Mer on this stunning video for their song “Discover.”  We’ll be back soon with our next Monday Mashup .
