Lily Elise’s Single “Taken”

blackpandaPRlily

“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”

blackpandaPRlittle daylight 1

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

Claus Zinger’s “If You Only Knew”

blackpandaPRclaus

Claus Zinger is an interesting artist.  He states that he is not the best musician.  I think finding yourself as a musician is part of the battle and then you move forward.  So he has begun this battle with the single “If You Only Knew” from his self-released album.  Claus has some great moments and then some interesting moments.  I will have to listen to more of his work to make a definite call, but I can say he is a musician.  I love some of the instrumentation that he has just figure out what he wants to do with his vocals will be key.  Give him a listen through the Surviving the Golden Age link here and see what you think about “If You Only Knew” http://survivingthegoldenage.com/claus-zinger-if-you-only-knew/ : Richard

Little Daylight Twice as Nice Remix of “Be Long”

blackpandaPRdaylight

Little Daylight gives everyone their Twice as Nice Remix of their single “Be Long”.  I really like their electropop feel that they have with this remix.  It’s an unusual song that it’s rhythm is a little upbeat, but the lyrics as sung on a more melancholy feel.  It’s and interesting mix.  Check it out through SoundCloud and it they happen to be in your area for their Winter Tour you can check them out live – Richard:

Lily Elise’s Music Video for “Suitcases”

blackpandaPRlily1

Lily Elise gives us her music video for her single “Suitcases”.  Lily has one of those rich full voices that fits well with R&B.  I would be interested in hearing her try other genres as well, but she definitely has it going with the R&B sound.  Check out the “Suitcases” music video through her YouTube channel – Richard:

Alec Chambers Music Video for “Whole Again”

blackpandaPRalec1

We got to listen to Alec Chamber’s’ single “Whole Again”, now we get to see his music video for the single.  The single was already catchy and now we have a music video that has a nice romantic story flow to it.  These are the type of music videos I enjoy rather than just see the performer.  Great job.  Check it out through Alec’s YouTube channel – Richard:

herMajesty’s Latest “Days Turn into Nights”

blackpandaPRherMajesty

HerMajesty gives us their latest single “Days Turn into Nights”.  This single is a real moody single.  With this single herMajesty has to be careful because the lead singers voice is right on the edge of being lost in the instrumentals, but it hovers right above that threshold.  “Days Turn into Nights” feels like you are in a bath and have warm water slowly being poured over you, while you have a nice drink or if someone has joined you for some welcome activities.  Take a listen through SoundCloud – Richard:

JD Shultz aka Human Brother Gets “Back to Music”

blackpandaPRj.d.

Native Angeleno, devout DIY-ist, multi-instrumentalist, producer, songwriter, painter, artist, philanthropist  and renaissance family man are all accurate descriptives for JD Shultz “aka” Human Brother. He’s releasing a new collection of songs in February called Back to Music.
It’s twelve tracks reflecting an eclectic mix of world and roots influences with positive, life affirming messages – making for a warm, ambient rock record. Shultz wrote, arranged and played all of the instruments on the record. He also produced and recorded Back to Music.
Back to Music reflects Shultz signature aesthetic on plexiglas too… bold, colorful, full of energy and modern. Companies like MGM’s The Bellagio in Las Vegas and Guitar Center commission his work. He built his reputation in and around Los Angeles by simply painting on anything that he could and then eventually launching his own gallery.
