Dia’s Latest Single and Music Video “Valentine”

Dia sets a late 1960’s to earlier 1970’s tone with her latest single “Valentine”.  From the first heavy beat that softens with the verse and the guitar takes more center stage is very reminiscent of that era’s pop/folk sound.  When the chorus comes back in the heavy drum beat hits you again.  Throughout the single the central instruments shifts between drum and guitar, with the chorus and verse.  The music video that was made for the single has the same late 1960’s – early 1970’s feel to it by using simulated old footage and possible even authentic old footage.  This footage merges the video and single very well to transport the listener back to that time.  Here’s Dia’s music video for “Valentine” through her YouTube channel – Richard:

Lucy & La Mer’s “Honey, Put Your Weapons Down”

Lucy & La Mer is sharing with out listeners their single “Honey, Put Your Weapons Down”.  The sound that Lucy and La Mer developed for this single is a pop/folk mix.  It is a serious song with lyrics that speak to a relationship that is hitting a rough spot.  There are times when a person has weapons that they don’t realize and this songs mentions them, because when you see the title of this single you see “Weapons” and think guns or something of that type of weapon.  However, the “Weapon” that most people don’t realize they weld everyday is their voice.  And worst a “Weapon” could be a hand.  Even with this heavy subject the rhythm and vocals of this single make it light and able to listen to and hear what is being said.  Really a nice job in structuring this single.  Lesson’s are easier to absorb when done in a comforting way rather than a harsh way.  This is one to listen to, and with that here is Lucy & La Mer’s “Honey, Put Your Weapons Down” through SoundCloud – Richard

Trapdoor Social’s Single “Never Stop Listening”

Trapdoor Social is sharing with our listeners their latest single “Never Stop Listening”.  Music and politics have been intertwined since I can remember.  With the single “Never Stop Listening” the band is adding their voice to a cause they want to draw awareness.  The single itself can be listened to and be referenced in a completely different way.  It is with the music video for the single that draws attention to the Dakota Access Pipeline, by using images from the camp.  The single itself is a very well done soft rock ballad that is enjoyable.  Here’s Trapdoor Social’s “Never Stop Listening” music video through their YouTube channel.  If you want to catch them live I have some of the upcoming dates listed  – Richard:

Ted Z and The Wranglers Rustle us up Some Music

ted z

Ted Z and The Wranglers is sharing with us their latest single “Go Find Your Heaven” – Radio Edit.  This single will appeal to our Country/Western listeners.  This group has their feet firmly planted in the Country/Western genre with this single.  This means there isn’t a lot of competing sounds.  The instrumentals are small listed and pure and the vocals come through nice and strong.  Think back to the Country that was playing back in the 1970’s to 1980’s, before country went with a more electric sound.  A nice job all around.  Give a listen to Ted Z and The Wranglers’ single “Go Find Your Heaven” – Radio Edit that they are sharing through SoundCloud – Richard:
