We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
Shehzad Bhanji takes our listeners on a journey with his instrument of choice, the electric guitar. Shehzad is sharing with us his music video for his single “Never Say Goodbye”. Shehzad is an instrumentalist that lets his guitar speak in his music. Most of you will recognized this type of music that was popularized by Carlos Santana. Shehzad is carrying on that tradition well. Check out “Never Say Goodbye’s” Music Video from Shehzad Bhanji’s YouTube channel – Richard:
If you love the 1950’s – ’60’s and specifically the Everly Brothers then you will love Dead Rock West’s latest single “Used to Love You”. “Used to Love You” and their album It’s Everly Time is a tribute to the Everly Brothers where they cover a selection of their singles. Cindy Wasserman and Frank Lee Drennen have that natural harmony that fits “Used to Love You” perfectly. You can’t just beat the fun loving beat that the single has even though it is a break up song. Dead Rock West is sharing their music video for “Used to Love You” to the ComicPop Library listens and be sure to look for them on you favorite digital music vendors to download It’s Everly Time. Enjoy the video – Richard:
Zaza is hitting the HipHop world with her single “Fashion Girl”. Zaza’s rap is very crisp and clear for the listener to fully experience her voice. When the chorus comes in she delivers as well. Sometimes as with any genre of music singers can slur their words, but not with “Fashion Girl”. Like I said very crisp and clear. I also like that the rhythm is kept to a nice simple beat, you don’t always have to be extravagant to have a fun song that fans can sing along with. Zaza is sharing “Fashion Girl” through SoundCloud for the ComicPop listeners to enjoy – Richard:
Amy Raasch is sharing with the ComicPop LIbrary listeners “Cat Bird Coyote” from her upcoming multimedia platform Girls Get Cold. This will start you week with something fresh in this mash-up between an animated short and music venture. My interpretation of “Cat Bird Coyote” is the circle of life theme. This will catch some people off guard with the mixed medium, but for me, I enjoyed it tremendously because I enjoy both mediums and like it when storytelling are joined in a mash-up. Check out “Cat Bird Coyote” that Amy is sharing through her YouTube channel – Richard:
Mary Jennings is sharing with us her latest single “Home” from her album Metamorphosis. Mary jumps right in with from the very beginning with this single. The single has a quality that is soothing to the ear and almost transcendent sounding. I’m not sure how to describe “Home”. The single just surrounds you in its tone, you’ll just have to listen to it to see what I’m trying to describe. “Home” is a very lovely song that Mary is sharing with us through SoundCloud – Richard:
DaniElle DaLaite comes to us from Australia to share her music video for her single “Shooting Stars”. DaniElle has this nice soft voice that could get lost in the music, but she doesn’t allow that to happen with this single. The music is set at the right level that her vocals are still nice and clearly heard, nice job of finding that balance. “Shooting Stars” itself has a light rock/pop feel that most will enjoy so check out DaniElle DaLaite’s “Shooting Stars” music video through her YouTube channel – Richard

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:
“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:
Rebel House Radio has a soft spoken sound. Not knowing what they have done with other singles, I know with their latest “Can’t Say No” the band is aware of this trait. The beat has a great steady driving sound with the other instruments being more of a supportive role. However, they don’t let this over power the lyrics. Rebel House Radio has adjusted their sound level to compliment their voices rather than take over the song. The music video also compliments the single as well. So check out the single “Can’t Say No” from Rebel House Radio’s YouTube channel – Richard:
