Premiering The Captain’s Son’s Latest Single “Aloha Love”

The listeners of ComicPop Library get an after Christmas present from The Captain’s Son, with the premiere for their single “Aloha Love”!

The group has been hard at work this holiday season putting on the finishing touches of their newest single and our listeners to get the first chance to enjoy it.  Now that “Aloha Love” has been lovingly crafted it is ready to be received by the world.

With The Captain’s Son I get to enjoy several sounds that has influenced them and this one is no different.  “Aloha Love” takes us back in the day again, which I love, and as the single’s title suggests the band pays homage to the Jan & Dean/Beach Boys sound.  One of my first concerts as a teenager that my parents took me to, and this was back in the mid to late 1980’s I’m not quite that old yet, was to a Beach Boys concert.  The Captain’s Son, with their heavy guitar strumming, took me back to that concert experience and when I fell in love with the Beach Sound.

I really enjoy The Captain’s Son and can’t wait to hear what they will gift us with next.  Until then enjoy this late Christmas present, “Aloha Love”, through The Captain’s Son’s SoundCloud page – Richard:

Presley Tennant’s “BFF” Music Video

Presley Tennant is sharing with our listeners her new single and music video “BFF” that features Well Written.  I love the spin Presley has put on the “BFF” meaning, because we’ve all had them, and to know what I mean you will have to watch and listen to her music video.  Anyway “BFF” lands squarely in the pop genre.  Presley is full of energy in her singing that is shown in this single with its upbeat fast tempo.  But she didn’t stop there.  In her music video she delivers a ton of energy as well, which captures the viewer to watch it.  I love upbeat tempo in my music and this one hits it perfectly for me.  Yes, the single is a little snarky, but that’s part of the appeal.  Have some fun by checking out Presley Tennant’s “BFF” music video from her YouTube channel – Richard:

Leilani Wolfgramm’s Single “Live Wire”

Leilani Wolfgramm is sharing with our listeners her single “Live Wire”.  Leilani has a nice full alto voice that flows through the single.  The single’s style is definitely reggae, but with Leilani’s soulful voice you see the R&B sneaking through.  Leilani has an EP coming out in January and I’m interested to see where her musically choices go.  Will she gives us both reggae and R&B singles or stick more to one genre?  Whatever she chooses she has the voice to do either one.  Until January Leilani Wolfgramm wants everyone to check out her single “Live Wire” through her YouTube channel – Richard:
