Barbudo’s Music Video for “Secret Admirer”

Barbudo’s is sharing with our listeners their latest music video of their new single “Secret Admirer”.  When the music hits you, you get that funk late 1960’s – 1970’s style from the band.  In the video the Walkman makes you think 1980’s, but the rest of the video is styled just like the single using that funk inspired feel.

There are times, with the camera angle, that the lead singer in his outfit and hair style give me Davy Jones feels of the Monkees.  The music video is a longer video clocking in at over 5 minutes, but the flow of the music and fun feel of the video makes it feel like it isn’t that long.

Anyway for a fun listen check out Barbudo’s music video for “Secret Admirer” through their YouTube channel – Richard:

Natalie Shay’s New Single “This Feeling”

Natalie Shay is sharing with our listeners her new single “This Feeling”.  “This Feeling” starts out for a few seconds like it is going to be a slower song for the listeners.  Then around ten seconds in the beat starts picking up until you are in the midst of a flow blown fun upbeat song.  Natalie carries the single with a powerful performance with some strong vocals.  Natalie is currently working on new music for release, but this single is available now for everyone to check out.  Enjoy Natalie Shay’s “This Feeling” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Percival Elliott Music Video for “Forever”

Percival Elliott is sharing with out listeners then new music video “Forever”.  This single is from the duos upcoming Save Your Soul LP.  Olly Hite and Samuel Carter-Brazier gives listeners a peaceful indie/folk tune with “Forever” that one can put on and just flow with their vocals and instrumentals.  So it makes perfect sense that they did the music video on a river.  It isn’t just because they use it within their lyrics in “Forever”, but because the musicality just flows over you.  Very nicely done and I can’t wait to hear what else they might have on their upcoming album.  Until then Percival Elliott want’s everyone to enjoy their music video “Forever” through their YouTube channel – Richard:

Chloe Bodur’s New Single “Glory”

Chloe Bodur is sharing with our listeners her single “Glory”.  Chloe has a nice alto sound which glides through this Jazz/Soul infused single.  “Glory” starts out with instrumentals until the 30 second mark and then Chloe comes in with the vocals.  Within the instrumentals an electric guitar is used to give this single a little of an electronic sound, but once the vocals hit you know your in for a smooth ride.  Check out Chloe Budor’s single “Glory” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Matt Koelsch’s Latest Single “Incomplete”

Matt Koelsch is sharing with our listener’s again.  This time it is for his single “Incomplete” which is a beautiful acoustical piece.  His folk style lends well to this piece with the guitar as the main instrument.  The cherry on top is the chorus, when it comes in you get a warm fuller sound with the addition of what sounds like a violin and cello.  This is a slower single, but oh so good.  I love the sound and Matt’s voice.  Here’s Matt Koelsch’s “Incomplete”, from his EP entitled Thinking of You through SoundCloud and be sure to pick up his EP available now! – Richard:

Island Apollo New Single “Hold It Down”

Island Apollo is giving our listeners a rockin’ anthem to check out, “Hold It Down”.  This single has that hard driving beat that gets you into the song from the beginning.  The vocals are on point with “Hold It Down” and I love that toward the end of the second third of the single there is a short bridge that sounds like it came out of a ’70’s TV detective/cop series.  With Island Apollo hitting it out of the park with this single I’m definitely interested in what else they will come out with.  Having VH1, CBS, and Fox Sports spotlighting you is an added bonus.  We don’t want to ‘hold’ Island Apollo ‘down’, but you will want to listen to their single “Hold It Down” here through SoundCloud – Richard:

BREATHERR’s Experimental Single “Chantrieri” Music Video

Those of our listeners that like to experiment with their music entertainment will get into BREATHERR’s single “Chantrieri”.  With “Chantrieri” everything about it makes for a tense listen.  The instrumentals and vocals don’t have much of any type of break and just keep driving forward through the single.  I’m fairly positive this is intentional with the music video’s scenes moving through at what feels like a frantic pace with the percussion driving it forward.  Check out BREATHERRR’s music video “Chantrieri”, through his YouTube channel, to do some experimentation with what you listen to, you just might find you like it – Richard:

KingWashington Latest Single “My Reflection”

KingWashington is sharing with our listeners their single “My Reflection”.  KingWashington’s sound has a very 1970’s feel to it with this single.  The vocals are more of a breathy feel, but I believe the band recognizes this and has their instrumentals done at a softer level so they don’t over power the vocals.  On listening to “My Reflection” I always came back to them having a similar sound as say America.  Basically a smooth rock sound.  Take a listen and see what you thank of KingWashington’s “My Reflection” through SoundCloud – Richard:
