Lexie Roth’s Latest Single “Lost Memory”
I can’t quite wrap my head around Lexie Roth’s music. Her instrumentals are soft and smooth, even when they pick up the pace a bit, but her voice is not. I feel like her voice was a little harsh for the song. She stuck out because she didn’t quite mesh well with the background music. The song in general I couldn’t get into either. It seemed rather monotone and I didn’t feel like it had any build up. It was relatively flat and I found it hard to listen to. None the less, Lexie does have a nice voice and if she finds the right sound for her I think she’ll go far.
-April B.
I’ve listened to Lexie Roth before and I do enjoy here voice. I believe this particular single just has to much behind her with the instruments. The instruments seem to be competing with her voice and kind of over powers it. This is unfortunate because as I said Lexie has a voice that I enjoy listening to. Check “Lost Memory” out provide to us from SoundCloud and check out her other singles as well. I think overall you will like her sound. – Richard
Edge of Tomorrow Trailer
Here is a science fiction thriller brought to us by way of Japan. Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s novel All You Need is Kill is what Edge of Tomorrow is adapted from, All You Need is Kill is also a manga. It’s basically a futuristic Ground Hog Day with a lot more military action….I can dig that.
Thanks to the “Movie Trailers” channel on YouTube for the trailer:
Get in the Grove with “Best Days of Our Lives”
Better Than All the Rest: Ajax Ray O’Vaque Reveals “Best Days of Our Lives” Single, Video
Anthony J. Resta’s alter ego launches first single from forthcoming Dreaming in Subtitles full-length out July 1st
The intro for Ajax’s “Best Days of Our Lives” was really cool, I really like the guitar part. I was kind of surprised when Ajax came in though, his voice is a little too high and airy for me to enjoy. I like all of the instrumentals and rhythms, they sound really awesome and the lyrics are really cool. His hook is good too and it gets in your head. The only thing I didn’t really like was, again, how high he sings. If he lowered it a bit I think I would enjoy it a lot more but I also know that there are people out there that will enjoy how the song is right now.
-April B.
When I hear this it takes me back to the ’50’s and ’60’s. Especially the sound which takes me back to when the Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, or any other surfing band would produce. All the way from the rhythm of the music to the higher voices that was popular for male singers back then. – Richard

Neighbourhood Gives Us a Rap Feel
THE NEIGHBOURHOODDEBUT NEW TRACK“The Neighbourhood aren’t a group usually associated with hip-hop – but they soon will be. They’re putting together a new mixtape – titled #000000 & #FFFFFF – which features a bunch of up-and-coming rap stars. They’ve put out three tracks and we’ve got the exclusive on the fourth. It’s called “Jealousy” and features Casey Veggies and 100s – the latter of whom has literally teleported down from the purple mothership where Andre 3000, Prince, and George Clinton reside.”
Who is this and what have they done with The Neighbourhood? I am confused by all of this. It’s not The Neighbourhoods style at all and I can’t figure out why they made the decision to feature rappers. I like rap fine but it shouldn’t be paired with The Neighbourhood. I didn’t enjoy the song and really hope they don’t do anything like this at all. The only part I was sort of into was the chorus but even that was a bit iffy for me. I love The Neighbourhood but this is too much of a stretch for me.
-April B.
This is quite a departure for The Neighbourhood and I can see how some people will be as April said “confused”. For those that have not grown accustomed to The Neighbourhood they will see this as a rap or hip-hop song and go on their way. It is definitely one that people will like or not. Check it out from SoundCloud below and see what you think, you might enjoy it. – Richard
