Ghost Loft’s latest if the single “Overflow”. With this single they take the motion of water and place it within the song. “Overflow” had a relaxing and rhythmic flow to it. Check it out through SoundCloud you will enjoy it – Richard:
“I Want It” from Olivver The Kid
Olivver the Kid comes to us by way of his former band The Neighbourhood. This is Bryan Sammis’ single, “I Want It’, released through the label Taste and Tone. For the first sound after striking out on his own Sammis has a single that is a bit rock and a bit electronic. He definitely can hit those higher notes, of the chorus, but I like him down in a more comfortable range which we get to hear while he is singing the verse. This one will get people excited and ready to hear more. Check out “I Want It’ through SoundCloud – Richard:
VYD Debuts “Rockets”
VYD wants us to fly away to the moon on a magic rocket ride. As they say in their debut single “Rockets”. This single has a nice upbeat feeling with some sensuality mixed in for your pleasure. You can listen to the single over at Surviving the Golden Age’s website here: http://survivingthegoldenage.com/vyd-rockets/Check it out I think you might like it – Richard
Tru Fam releases “Janet Jean”
“Janet Jean” comes to us from Tru Fam. The music to this single has a great beat, the urban hip hop style with a middle eastern flare to it. Not sure if that is just for this individual single or if this style is in all of their music, but I enjoyed it…something a little bit different. Sorry about this next bit guys. I’m not a fan of auto-tune. An artists voice can stand on its own no matter who’s it is. You gentlemen have good voices let the spot light be on them. That is just me, others will like it and enjoy the style. Check out “Janet Jean” through SoundCloud – Richard
“Stay Gold” by of Verona
Mandi Perkins and Dillon Pace, make up the band of Verona, and they have currently released the single “Stay Gold”. Their music is Synth influenced, but with a heavy beat in this single. It feels like it will be a power ballad but it never hits that hard chorus that you expect after the buildup. Instead they pulled back and kept the lyrics softer. It’s an interesting mixture and worked well for them. Check out “Stay Gold” through SoundCloud – Richard:
“This Moment” is Given to us by Janine and the Mixtape
“This Moment (Eckhart Tolle)” is the latest release from Janine and the Mixtape. Janine’s voice just captures me from the start. The transition from the verse to the chorus hit just right to give “This Moment” an extra push with the down beat. The music video is also enjoyable to watch…great job all around. Check out “This Moment (Eckhart Tolle)” on their YouTube channel – Richard:

Verre is “BLU”
“BLU” has a pop techno feel to it that will grab that fan following really fast for the group Verre. The lead singer has a nice clear voice that I enjoy and I like the beat that they have with the music. Only a few spots within the single that I didn’t really enjoy but that is just a matter of taste. Take a listen to Verre’s “BLU” through SoundCloud – Richard:
Lily Elise’s Single “Taken”
“Taken” is the title track from her upcoming debut EP, Taken. This single is one that when listening to the verses of the song the vocals and instrumentals clash a little and compete against each other. This is a specific style and I’ve heard other pieces that do this same thing. It took me a couple of times to really get into this song because of that clash and then I was used to it and had no trouble. Have a good chorus helped me give “Taken” multiple listenings and really tied this piece together nicely. Check it out through SoundCloud – Richard:
Jukebox the Ghost Remix of Little Daylight’s “Postcard”
Jukebox the Ghost gives us Little Daylight’s “Postcard” as a remix. LIttle Daylight has a great easy listening synth sound that I enjoy. This harkens back to the late 1980’s, early 1990’s in style. “Postcard” reminds me a little of Ace of Base. Check out the single through SoundCloud and if you are in the area of any of their performances stop in for a fun evening – Richard
