Matty Ride(s) in with “Lower Case Love”

Our listeners get to have a taste of some upbeat crooner type music with Matty Ride’s “Lower Case Love”. Thank back to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and more recently Michael Buble and Harry Connick Junior. Crooners are usually associated with slower tunes, but they also have upbeat tunes in the repertoire. In Matty Ride’s “Lower Case Love” we get the upbeat rhythms. The single is just a fun romp that I think you might enjoy. The single becomes available on February 14, so give Matty some love by downloading it through your digital vendor of choice. Here’s the music video through Matty Ride’s YouTube Channel – Richard:

Bang! New From Dark Horse

A new spy thriller with some science fiction splashed in the mix. Looks interesting. I like to check out different titles every so often, because comic books doesn’t always mean superheroes. Check out Bang!’s trailer through Dark Horse Comics YouTube channel:

“Just Talkin'” You All

Kyle Meagher is sharing with our listeners his single “Just Talkin'”. Many might know Kyle from his Netflix show Anne with an E. However, Kyle wants you to take notice of his single “Just Talkin'”.

This is the type of song I naturally gravitate towards because of the upbeat sound and fun lyrics. Pure Pop I know, but I really enjoy fun songs like this. Kyle is sharing his single through his YouTube channel, by way of his music video for the single.

As we say we are having fun and we hope you are having fun. So check out Kyle Meagher’s music video for “Just Talkin'” and if you enjoy his sound give him some love and support through your digital vendor of choice – Richard:
