Mooji gives us a “Medley”

cyberpr1Double_Agent_Artwork

Mooji has developed an electric/alternative style with his offering of “Medley” from his upcoming album Double Agent.  The single is one that has an interesting feel to it and evoked different feelings in me at different times.  The instrumental gives it that electro feel, but it also has a beat that is gives you a tribal cadence.  Then when Mooji comes in with the lyrics it goes to an island feel.  It’s an interesting mix that’s almost hypnotic.  If you have access to the private listings on SoundCloud sign-in and look up Mooji Medley (free download) to get a taste of Mooji’s album, Double Agent, will be like.

Have you Heard the “Rumors” from Alia Lorae

cyberpr1alia

This is Alia’s social commentary about rumors.  “Rumors” is one some people will get and love or not.  If nothing else you can appreciate what the commentary.  The single is interesting, but a little bit to repetitive.  The music video is interesting as well in how it was constructed.  This single, to me, is on that edge of being placed in the experimental genre.  Take a look at the “Rumors” music video that Alia Lorae is sharing with us through her YouTube channel – Richard:

Nicholas Wells delivers “Empty Coffee Cups”

cyberpr1nicholas wells

Nicholas Wells is sharing with us his single “Empty Coffee Cups” from his upcoming album Stumbling Forward, that will be available October 6 to download from iTunes.  If the album is anything like this single I am going to enjoy it very much.  Nicholas goes back to an instrument that you don’t see featured very much with performers, the piano.  I’ve always loved the back to basics music.  You can jump right in with Nicholas and sing along with him to your hearts desire.  The music video Nicholas is sharing with us for “Empty Coffee Cups: is very well crafted and easy to watch, it fits the single well.  Check out the music video for “Empty Coffee Cups” from Nicholas’ YouTube channel and see if you can keep yourself from singing along with him – Richard:

Serengety releases Her Single “Go”

cyberpr1serengety

“Go” has an interesting sound mix.  It has what I would say an Electric Soul sound.  The rhythm of “Go” is infectious and catches your interest from the first beats.  It has a strong bass beat that I enjoyed.  However, that strong bass was also a little to strong.  At times it overpowered Serengety’s vocals.  I’m interested in hearing her do more, but I want her voice to be the star.  I believe with the right single her voice could be a show stopper.  Check out Serengety’s “Go” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Atlas Jungle Gives us “Goa Nights” Music Video

cyberpr1atlas

Psychedelic hits us with Atlas Jungle’s “Goa Nights”.  With this single you get a pure instrumental/electronic piece.  It has a good rhythm to the single, but like any Psychedelic music it isn’t really about dance.  The music is about creating a feeling inside you.  I can see this piece playing in the background as you and your friends are just chilling to the groove.  Psychedelic isn’t for everyone, but if it’s your thing, you’ll enjoy “Goa Nights”.  Even if Psychedelic isn’t your thing take a listen, just to say you’ve experienced it and who knows you might find a new genre of music for your listening pleasure.  So check out Atlas Jungle’s music video for “Goa Nights” that they are sharing with us through their YouTube channel – Richard:

Antigone Rising is a “Game Changer”

cyberpr1antigone

In the tradition of The Go-Go’s and The Bangles comes Antigone Rising, with their single “Game Changer”.  I love it…it’s an upbeat song that I always enjoy.  Antigone Rising has that rock feel, but listening to “Game Changer” I definitely hear a country sound in this single as well.  This would be a great cross-over song for them.  Check out Antigone Rising’s music video of “Game Changer” that they are sharing with us through their YouTube channel – Richard:

Wll-Known Strangers Shouldn’t be Strangers to You

cyberpr1wellknown1

Well-Known Strangers will be one to consider for you playlist.  With “Another Sun”, the group gives listeners a light rock/pop sound.  I loved the rhythms and Betsy Ade’s Alto voice comes through nice and clear conveying the lyrics of the single really well.  They have just released Found that “Another Sun” is on so grab it up and don’t let them be strangers to you.  Enjoy the music video of “Another Sun” that the group is sharing with us from their YouTube channel – Richard

Friday on Elm Street’s Lyric Video for “Dear Beth”

cyberpr1friday

With the name Friday on Elm Street I expected a hard rock dark feel to this music.  What we get with “Dear Beth” is a light pop rock single.  Once I wrapped my heard of preconceived notions to what the band style is, I enjoyed the single.  It is a synth heavy single and the lyrics are clear and everything has a catchy rhythm to “Dear Beth”.  I don’t know it the style is through the rest of Friday on Elm Street’s music, but with this single my mind kept going back to what the Scooby-Doo cartoons would play within their episodes, just fun lighthearted music.  Check out Friday on Elm Street’s lyric video for “Dear Beth” on their YouTube channel and pick up his album that drops on the 12th of this month – Richard:
