We’re now in the second half of November and headed towards Thanksgiving. We’ve got some great new singles and videos for you today, and hope that they make you thankful for indie music. Enjoy these treats.
NEW SINGLES
We kick things off this week with the latest from another of our favorite LA indie artists, Kris Angelis, a multiple winner of the LA Music Critic Award. This time around she confesses “I Hope I Never Fall in Love Again,” although her fans have truly fallen for her. Listen to the words of this song, and let her know how much you care for her craft.
Next up is Brooklyn pop star Laney Lynx, who confronts her friend’s “Bad Attitude.” Although the sound is upbeat, make sure you pay attention to the lyrics. This one is powerful.
Our next single comes from indie alternative pop duo Kar. They share the frustrations of being “On Our Own.” We’re sure everybody can relate.
Single number four is a beautiful song from UK pop songstress Tropico Don, who describes the process of seeking help from your friends as being her “Orion’s Belt.” We love it and can’t wait to hear more.
Our final single this week is from another fabulous Blue Élan Records artist, Amy Wilcox. Hear her country spin on the seminal Christmas carol, “Silent Night.”
NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
The boy band vibe is strong in the latest video from Little Hurt. They remind us that “It’s OK not to be OK.” We strongly recommend this video for the shear fun of it, but also encourage you to listen to the lyrics, and take them to heart. They have dedicated this video to support the work of Hope for the Day, a group that is helping to prevent suicides.
Next is the incredibly creative video from The Envips about the power of pop culture to change our image of success. Check out “Last Star,” and relive the life and struggles of Marilyn Monroe.
Our third video is pure dance pop joy from the creative mind of LX. She talks about people who keep putting the “Blame on Me.” We guarantee this one will get you pumped up.
Next up is the soulful R&B goodness of Jacob Seeger, who wants to know if you’re “Down.” This song is a cinematic masterpiece, and we love the sweet sentiments reflected in his lyrics.
We close out this edition of Monday Mashup with the latest lyric video from LA Music Critic Award-winning country trio, Southern Halo. This one is called “Missing Mississippi,” and it is wonderfully done as a series of Polaroids. Never give up following your dreams.
