Kelly Paige Doesn’t Want to “Get You Down”

blackpandaPRkelly

Kelly Paige is sharing, with the ComicPop listeners, her lyric music video to her power ballad “Get You Down”.  Kelly is hitting a home run with this bluesy/rock single that just gets your body moving.  I love the message as well…and it doesn’t necessarily apply to women.  No one should let anyone get them down.  If it isn’t happening in a relationship move on to better days.  Great single from Kelly, so check out the lyric video, for “Get You Down”, through her YouTube channel – Richard:

From what I have seen DC Superhero Girls is just plain fun.  It’s lighthearted and introduces some of DC’s strong female characters for a younger generation.  I believe you can watch most of the animated shorts on their YouTube Channel  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRdVJ9XqHCb6BqApCIO_TYg (where I am sharing the trailer from) and right now the figures are only available at Target stores.  I am looking at these and trying to decide which scale I want to get the heroes in…anyway here’s the trailer:

The Slovaks is sharing with our listeners their single “Meditate”.  Don’t let the title fool you though.  This is a hard rocking song that will get your blood pumping.  For those of you that need that jump start to your day this song will help you out.  The music video is pretty straight forward with the band performing the song. Give “Meditate”, from The Slovaks, a spin through  “Jeffrey Drag’s” YouTube channel – Richard:
