We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
Blonde Ambition is sharing with our listeners their single “Good News”. The single is a little bit slower in beat, but still gets your interest with the styling the group uses. To me it is really reminiscent to the 1990’s and something that you would hear from George Michael. Really nice work and I’m definitely interested to hear more. So check out “Good News” from Blonde Ambition’s Slow All Over LP, that you can look for from your digital vendor of choice – Richard:

Miriam Tamar is sharing with our listeners again. This time it is her live performance at the Nest, where she performed her single “Come To Me”. Miriam still uses her voice to full advantage which is pure smoothness to the ear. With “Come to Me” we still get that international flare to her music that places it apart from other pop songs you might hear on your radio. The music video is a live performance so it features Miriam and different members of her band. Here’s Miriam Tamar’s “Come to Me” live music video for you to enjoy, through her YouTube channel, and then you can look her up on your digital vendor of choice for her EP Firedance – Richard:

Major Love Event is a group based out of Portland, OR that is sharing their single “Sandy Sound”. The way this single is constructed, with a staccato beat, gives the verses a poppy sound and then it goes into a more flowing sound for the chorus. With this type of rhythm, being so catchy, it makes the listener almost unconsciously bob their head. Here’s Major Love Event’s, “Sandy Sound” single, through SoundCloud, from their self titled album, due out June 16 – Richard:

Omar Alhindi is sharing with our listener’s his latest single. In “Don’t Take My Love Away” he gives a solid performance. From the instruments to his voice it is all clicking. It also has a smooth flow to it that washes over the listener. When listening to the single I went to Hall & Oates in style, it really reminded me of something they would do and Omar’s voice is similar to Hall’s as well. “Don’t Take My Love Away” is from Omar’s debut album Bedhead Part 1 that you should be able to locate on your digital vendor of choice. Here’s Omar Alhindi’s “Don’t Take My Love Away” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Monogold is sharing with our listeners their second music video. This one is for their single “Naked”. The single and music video remind me the early 1990’s. The rhythm of the single just carries that feel with it and the singers blending with the instruments is the same 1990’s feel. The music video has a vibe that seems to be an homage to the film Benny & Joon from the 1990’s as well. I get this vibe because of the look and quirks of the lead in the video. If you dig Monogold be sure to look for their EP Yolk available through digital vendors. Here’s Monogold’s music video for their single “Naked” through their YouTube channel – Richard:
