Welcome to our final Monday Mashup from Oklahoma because . . . (drumroll please!) . . . we’re moving to North Carolina! My wife and I have purchased a beautiful home built in 1900 in the sleepy little town of Scotland Neck, North Carolina and are in the process of moving there. We hope to be back up and running by the first of June. In the meantime, enjoy these great new singles and music videos.
NEW SINGLES
First up is the latest from a group we discovered at a show in Spokane a few years ago. Hailing from Portland, the BGP are fun pop that is uplifting and will definitely put a smile on your face. Check out “20 Ways.”

The pandemic has brought out some of t he best from indie artists and this next single is living proof. Check out this collaboration from Lucy Schwartz, MILCK and KPH & the Canary Collective. They want us to know that despite the restrictions placed on us because of COVID, we are “Not Alone.”
Our third single is from the effervescent Sonia Rao, who has not graced our pages in far too long We have always loved her music, and this song was recently selected by the City of Los Angeles as one of the best. We wholeheartedly agree. Check out “Louder.”

Powerful women have always had a place in country music, and a new voice has appeared on the horizon. We are proud to present the debut single from Allison Cipris, and we could not agree more – “She’s a Queen.”

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
Cindy Alexander is back with another stellar video for the never ending amazing collection of songs on her latest, While the Angels Sigh. We are humbled that this truly gifted talent continues to provide some of the best music and videos in the indie world today. Here’s “Walking Constellation.”
Another Blue Élan Records artist is also back with a new video and it is beautiful in its simplicity. We love the toy piano and the sentiments expressed by Chelsea Williams with her song “High Speed Chase.”
Switching gears to the high energy rock of the band ROCKET, we are proud to present their latest offering. Filmed during a sold-out show at LA’s El Rey theater, this band shows not signs of “Fading Out.”
Our fourth video comes from one of LA’s resident guitar bad asses, none other than Ali Handal. Her latest visual and sonic treat is a lyric video for her song, “Pour me Another.” All we can say is “Yes, please.”
We close out our videos with another lyric video, his time from our Nashville friends, Crimson Calamity. Let their vocal harmonies roll over you as they bring us this ode to “My Best Friends.”
