So we published our list of Ten Great Singles released in April that we couldn’t fit into our Monday Mashup playlists. Now it’s time to do the same with our Ten Amazing Videos released in April. Please let us know what you think of our lists.
We kick things off with “Dear John,” a powerful song from Melbourne-based blues trio Opelousas. We think this is a great one to get the party started.
Next up is a video that talks about a very important aspect of living – finding our “Relevance.” This one is powerful, and we love the radio-friendly pop sound of Max C Bud.
Next up is an intriguing lyric video that is unique in its presentation of the lyrics as if they are part of a scrolling text message. We also love the smooth R&B sound of Maddie Ross, and think her song “Miracle” could be a huge radio hit. Ross is currently on tour with KT Tunstall.
Next up is another lyric video for the frentic sound of “Be My Man.” We love that fresh but familiar sound, and think that this young artist has a bright future. Here’s J.R.
Our fifth video is a fun mix of camp and great sounds from Nikki’s Wives. We think you’ll be singing along to this ear worm in no time flat, and proudly sipping “Lemonade.”
We last featured Anna of the North back in our Monday Mashup last November, and she has returned with another incredible song, “Used to Be.” We love the smooth R&B sound and the words of this song, and think you will too.
Moving on, we come to an incredibly well shot music video with a dark theme that perfectly captures the tone of the latest from Belgium post-punk band, Whispering Sons, called “Hollow.”
PTSD is a hot button topic right now, and no one knows it better than a former member of the military. Ex-Marine Chris Turner gives us a riveting song which is perfectly captured in his video for “If You Drink.” This one will hit you in the heart.
Video number nine is a straight ahead rocker with a video that pits nerds against punks, and you win with this outstanding video. Check out “Shooting Stars” from The Story Changes.
We close things out this month with a bluesy sound that is between Adele and Amy Winehouse. We are totally hooked on Casii Stephan, and know that we will be impatiently waiting to see what comes next. In the meantime, put “Letters” on repeat and enjoy!
