With Fans On Her Side, Scarlett Rabe’s “Battle Cry” Video Wins Fight for Rotation on mtvU  
According to mtvU.com, fans helped “Battle Cry” to an “impressive victory” on last week’s round of The Freshmen
The MuseBox today announced that Scarlett Rabe’s“Battle Cry” was overwhelmingly selected by fans as their favorite video during last week’s round of mtvU’s The Freshmen, putting the video into regular rotation on mtvU, MTV’s award-winning college channel. Scarlett, the songwriter known for her “haunting riffs and empowering words” (Marie Claire), will receive maximum exposure this week, as mtvU reaches nearly 9 million U.S. college students. It is the largest, most comprehensive television network just for college students. Scarlett, forbidden as a child from participating in popular culture, but now with well over one million Facebook fans, has earned comparisons to Florence and the Machine and Feist. “Battle Cry” is the first single off Scarlett’s new record, Scarlett, which is available in her online store.
Be sure to check out our MiniPop where April and the crew discuss Scarlett’s EP at the following link: http://comicpoplibrary.com/news/ep-14-minipop-indie-rocker-scarlett-rabes-battle-cry-ep/

Boy Epic is Hitting It

boy epic

Boy Epic’s ‘Paralyzed’ is the perfect example for less is more. The flowing, softer instrumental’s lets the listener actually hear the lyrics. The slower tempo also allows us to understand the lyrics. I love the new idea of how love feels, everyone’s heard tons of love songs and sometimes they can all start to blend together. ‘Paralyzed’ sticks out because of the ballad feel of it mixed with creative lyrics. The video went very well with the song, it complemented it in all the right ways. I’ve talked about how I hate videos that are just words but there is a difference between those videos and Boy Epic’s. Instead of forcing the listener to also read multiple slides he is keeping their interest by slowly unveiling what the picture and word is. It keeps the listener engaged and they’re less likely to exit out of the video. I also really enjoy Boy Epic’s unique sense of style and how he is photographed. Prince reboot, anyone?
-April B.

Thanks to the Karla of the Muse Box for alerting us about Boy Epic.  Check out the video that April mentioned below from Boy Epic’s YouTube channel “boyepicmusic”:

Siren’s “I Think I like You” Debut Single

ELECTRO POP DUO
REACH #1 ON HYPE MACHINE POPULAR CHARTS
WITH DEBUT SINGLE
 
OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR BUZZED ABOUT SINGLE
Based in Los Angeles, CA, SIREN is an emerging female duo featuring longtime friends, Kat Ostenberg and Skyler Stonestreet. Blending a pop sound with elements of hip hop, and evocative lyrics that reveal a unique perspective, SIREN will entice you into their world. “I Think I Like You” produced by Mike Del Rio is pop gold.
‘I Think I like You’ is a mixed review for me. I loved the sharper instrumentals contrasting with the smoother tone of the vocals. It has a definite new age feel to it which I personally enjoy. My only complaint are the lyrics themselves. The lyrics are too simplistic, music should be deeper than just telling someone it’s complicated. There are so many more poetic ways to get that message across than just saying it outright. I know some people don’t like that much poetry-including me- but songs beg for it. It’s one of the few forms of poetry I like. If Siren could dig a little deeper with their future songs and really leave all of themselves on the score sheet they would be unstoppable.
– April B.
Here is their music video release of “I Think I Like You” from Siren’s “Siren Songs” channel on YouTube, check it out:
