March continued to show an influx in the release of singles, and we received more than 300 requests. After posting 20 of them in our four Monday Mashup articles, we have combed through the rest of the submissions to pick the best 10, and present them to you now to close the book on March.
Our first single is the latest from Americana stalwarts Jangling Sparrows. This Asheville, NC based band has consistently given us great music, and their latest single, “Estuaries,” is one of their best, with its strong roots rock feel. Let us know what you think.
Next up is a young singer-songwriter from NYC with a golden voice and the amazing ability to melt your heart with his lyrics. Check out Dante Palminteri and his latest single, “Miles Away.”
For single number three we travel to New Orleans for the Euro-based synthpop sound of Berlin Taxi. This one will bring back a ton of memories because it sounds so familiar yet fresh. Check out “Everybody Changes.”
Our fourth single is sweetness in song from the one and only Kensington Moore. She melts our heart with her story of love lost, a topic we can all relate to, and does it with some of the hottest pop beats we have heard. Don’t worry Kensington – you’ll never hear us say “I Don’t Like you Anymore.”
Next up is an up and coming songwriter from Hong Kong who has a distinctive rock and R&B sound and a keen approach to songwriting. We love the chill feel of her single “The Ride,” and think that DBE definitely has a future in this business.
We kick off the second five with a dreamy pop song from London’s DAYLA. We love the way this one makes us feel, and think you will love it as well. Here’s “Closer,” her debut single.
Next up is an iconic duo from Torrance, California who possess that rare gift – familial harmonies. Sisters Aly and AJ Michalka will steal your heart and take you to “Church” on their latest. Don’t miss the chance to catch them on tour this summer.
Single number eight is a folk-pop song that belongs on the radio. The vocals drip honey and the musical accompaniment will have you relaxed in no time at all. Here’s Aussie Josh Alexander and his latest single, “Closing.”
Is it the 80s again? No, but that decade definitely influenced the sound of Sweden’s Cat Princess, and you can hear it on their latest single, “Silver Socks.”
We close out this edition with the rocking roots sound of Conor Donohue and his single, “Getting Better,” off his forthcoming album Let Love Contaminate, which we will be reviewing later this month.
We’ll be back shortly with our Ten Amazing Videos list.
