Artists Worth Checking Out Ten Great Singles Women in Entertainment

Ten great singles released in May 2018

Every Monday we bring you news from the indie arts world, as well as new singles and music videos.  Unfortunately, we receive so many requests that we are unable to accommodate everyone.  We decided to create a monthly listing of singles and music videos we thought were worthy but didn’t have space for in our weekly Monday Mashup.  Here is our list of singles for the month of May.

Our first single comes from the Amsterdam-based collective Rembrandtpark, with vocals from London artist Joshua Braithwait.  Here is “Death for a Living.”

Our second single is “Through This Darkness” by Tony Njoku.  It is an electronic DIY that we think is rather interesting.

The Yada Yada Yadas offer us “Seven Years, and we dig their alternative rock sound.  What do you think?

Our next single is from Tonsu and features Brianna Sorgiovanni.  It is a delightful electro-pop tune called “A Broken World,” and we are very pleased to share it with you.

At the halfway point, it’s Declan O’Donovan, with a rootsy tune called “Hank.”  This one is very retro and reminds us of Randy Newman.

Our second five begins with “Fire Up (Here we Go)” by Charmless i.  It’s a rocking little tune that will get you fired up to power through your day.  We hope you enjoy it.

Our next single is an R&B/Soul tune that will get you feeling fine.  Here’s Jackson James Smith with “Midnight Romance.”

Single number eight “Superficial Feeling” from Written Years.  This one has a wonderful 80’s retro vibe that we are sure you will love.

Our next single is from dynamic duo Max Caddy.  They would appreciate it if you would “Hear me Out.”  We think that is good advice.

Last but not least this month is Marc Salvador, closing out our May singles list with “Shadow.”  We’ll be back tomorrow with Ten Amazing Music Videos from May.

Ten great singles released in April 2018

Every Monday we bring you news from the indie arts world, as well as new singles and music videos.  Unfortunately, we receive so many requests that we are unable to accommodate everyone.  We decided to create a monthly listing of singles and music videos we thought were worthy but didn’t have space for in our Monday Mashup.  Here is our list of singles for the month of April.

Our first single, “Healing of the Heart,” is an acoustic gem from Tom Richardson.  Let the words of the song fill your heart with hope and peace.

Next up is a dance mix from Miami Made David that has become very popular.  Here is “Shut it Down (Club Mix).”

Our third single, “Voices” is a bonus single from power DIY songwriter Kari Kimmel, from her forthcoming album, Gold and Glitter.  Check out the beautiful power of this ballad.

Turning up the volume and the energy are rockers Hotel Mira with their single “3AM Lullaby.”  This one is better the having a shot of 5 Hour.

We shift gears again to R&B and soul with Tommie Sox’s latest single, “Time to Play Games.”  Love this tune.

Our sixth single is from Australian powerhouse Fifth Dawn, which has a parallel sound to Paramore and Evanescence.  Check out the rocker tune, “Defying Symmetry.”

Next up is the dreamy “Is This Home,” from Glencoe and which features Rory McKenna.  Take your weekend up a notch with this one.

Single number eight comes from Gents, who go 80’s retro for “Empty Shell.”  We think you will truly dig this one.

Next is “Fire to Go,” by Chances.  We love the dreamy quality of the vocals, and the amazing instrumentation and the ABBA-like harmonies.  What do you think?

Our final single is “Get High or Go Low” from Sweetwood.  We think it’s the perfect song to close out this month’s great singles.

Ten great singles from March 2018

Every Monday we bring you news from the indie arts world, as well as new singles and music videos.  Unfortunately, we receive so many requests that we are unable to accommodate everyone.  We decided to create a monthly listing of singles and music videos we thought were worthy but didn’t have space for in our Monday Mashup.  Here is our list of singles for the month of March.

Our first single comes from Toronto, Canada, and has that “Hotel Café” vibe of Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson.  We really love “Terribly True” by Deanna Petcoff, and think you will too.

Our second single comes from the opposite end of the earth, down under, and features the rocking blues sound of Steph Fischer-Ivancsy‘s “Warning Signs.”  Rock on Aussies 🙂

Back to Edmonton, Canada for our next artist, who is up for a Juno award, the Canadian equivalent of our Grammy award.  Here’s “Do it Right” by Nuela Charles.

Our fourth single comes to us courtesy of New Jersey indie rock band Young Rising Sons.  The song is reminiscent of fun. and The Lumineers, and gives us a hungering for “Whiskey.”  Check it out.

We next go to Sweden for our next single, the stimulating “Die” from Constine.  The amazing combination of electronica and vocals make this one instantly memorable and haunting.  Let us know what you think.

We next travel to the British Isles for the latest single from producer Tony Njoku.  Here is “Remain Calm,” which is exactly what this chill track will do for you, which its Nigerian rhythms and relaxing synths.

Next up is an American folk singer named Taana Rose, who brings us an “Unexpected Love.”  This song is so smooth, and Rose’s vocals are so sweet it may give you a sugar high.  Check out those amazing keys.

Our eighth single comes from the incomparable Mike Edel.  It is called “Finish Line,” and it is a definite winner in our minds.  We think it is one of his best efforts to date.

Next is a retro 80’s grove from The New Division.  Their single is called “One Night in Tokyo,” and we think this one will have you grooving late into the night.  Enjoy.

We leave you today with the amazing jazz/hip-hop sound of Tertia May, who we are totally floored by.  Her music is overwhelming and we think her single “White” is the perfect way to close out this edition of Ten Great Singles.  See you next month.

Ten great singles released in February 2018

Today we’ll take a break from our Get it or Forget it series and bring you ten of the amazing singles we have received that were released in February 2018.  They are in no particular order.  Here we go.

First up is “Apartment,” a jazzy and smooth single from a new project named Rubēhill.  We really love the groove of this song and think you will too.  We think this one could easily find a home on Top 40 radio.

Next up is an anthem for girl power by R&B/Soul artist GNA.  It’s called “Love Me” and we really do.  Considering this is Women’s History Month, we think it is the perfect single for the strong independent woman in your life.

Our third single comes from Toronto-based Freedom Baby, who we introduced to you last September.  It is a moving ballad called “When we Go,” and it gives us strength and purpose.  Let us know what you think.

Next up is an amazing European act named Garden City Movement, which just released their album, Apollonia.  The single is called “Bitter Moon,” and we think it has the right mix for American radio.

Every so often one of those voices comes around that you immediately stop and take notice, voices like Beyonce, Rhiannon, and Alicia Keys.  Allow us to introduce Yasmeen, who we think belongs in that list.  Here is an acoustic version of her hit, “Half of Me.”

Our next single comes from Atlanta-based artist Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics.  They have achieved great success in the digital world, due in no small part to the quality of their songs.  Although we don’t particularly like the intro, we do love the song, so check out “Call Out my Name.”

We think you’ll really love our next single, “Going to the Grave,” by the incomparable Karrie Hayward.  This song is hot.

Next up is the amazingly soulful voice of Saby Cheek with her single, “My Captain Jack.”  Wow – where has she been hiding.  We really love this sound.

Our next to the last single comes from indie pop outfit Arms Akimbo.  We love the beat and the feel of this potential radio smash, “Seven Mirrors.”

Our final single is “Wilder Days” by British pop band Tors.  We think it’s the perfect Top 40 tune to close out this edition.  Please let us know what you think.  It reminds us of so much that is still good about our Top 40 radio, and we strongly encourage the industry to check these guys out.

We’ll be back tomorrow with more Get it or Forget it.  Next Wednesday we will present ten of the best music videos released in February 2018.  Until then . . .
