NEW SINGLES
Our first single today comes from the soulful sound of Alexis Keegan, who has returned to her sultry roots. It is called “Gospel,” and we are believers.
Next up is the latest band that has been given new life by our friends at Blue Élan Records. The Mustangs were an all girl group that ruled the LA Country scene. Three members of that group, Suzanna Spring, Holly Montgomery and Sherry Rayn Barnett have joined with Suzanne Morissette and Aubrey Richmond to form Mustangs of the West, and have released their first single, “T-Shirt From California.” We think you’re going to love having them back.
Next up is the latest from Summer Heart, featuring guest vocalist K¥LO on “Subside.” We think this may become your favorite summer jam.
Our fourth single comes from Danish electro-pop duo Feel Freeze, who encourage us to “Let Go!” We think it’s timely advice.
Our final single this week comes from an 18-year old phenom from London. Although the single came out in late June, we inadvertently thought it was an EP until recently. We think “Computer Games” deserves some attention, so let us know what you think. Here is Greta Jaime.
NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
Just as a new country group arrives in LA, one of their premier ones, CALICO the band, says goodbye. Manda Mosher and KP Hawthorn have decided to call it quits, but are leaving us with this amazing video cover of the classic hit from The Mommas and Poppas, “California Dreaming.” Thanks for five years of amazing music.
Next is the latest video from The 131ers, who we reviewed last week. Check out their fun video for “Ballerina.”
Speaking of bands we recently reviewed, here’s the latest “Nothing is Enough” from Delta Will. We love the groove of this song, and think you will too.
Our fourth video this week is another amazing from Blue Élan Records, Roan Yellowthorn. Here is her latest single, “Talk About It.”
Our final entry this week is a lyric video from Rachel Eckroth, whose new album will be dropping October 19. Here is “Call my Name.”
That’s it for this week. See you tomorrow with our next edition of Get it or Forget it.
