Conventioner’s Single “Trouble”

Conventioner has a smoky sound to his voice that draws you into his single “Trouble” from his Legacy EP.  This single would feel comfortable in a romantic movie, specifically the part where the leads realize they are in love with each other and are struggling to express themselves.  The instrumentals have a nice smooth flow to them that carry the listeners along the verse to it’s conclusion.  Conventioner has a second EP out now entitled Love or Protection and he wanted our listeners to get a taste of his music with “Trouble”.  So as you listen check out both of this EPs on you digital vendor of choice.  Here’s Conventioner’s single “Trouble” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Between the Rain is giving our listeners some hard rock to get us driving forward through the day, with their single “Mudroom”.  For me this is some nice old school hard rock with the guitar pushing the song forward and the vocals being sung with some attitude.  Really nice job and fans for this genre will love their single.  Definitely interested in what the band will give us next.  So get some attitude going with Between the Rain’s single “Mudroom” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Josh Taerk’s Single “Learning To Let Go”

Josh Taerk is sharing with our listeners his single “Learning To Let Go”.  Josh has a very natural folk/country sound with his smooth baritone voice.  The song itself I really enjoy the message because sometimes some of us can’t let go of something and to move forward we need to, even though it might be difficult.  The single has a light fresh feel to it that is really enjoyable that you will enjoy listening to.  But don’t take my word for it check out Josh Taerk’s “Learning To Let Go” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Jackie Venson’s Live Music Video for “Flying”

Jackie Venson is sharing with us her infectious single “Flying”.  This is just a fun song that will get your body moving and put a smile on your face.  Very catchy rhythm and you can tell Jackie is having fun with this single.  To me it has a flare of the old disco days where you want to get out on the dance floor and dance to the music.  The music video is a live performance and again you can tell by watching Jackie and the rest of the band that they enjoy this single.  Her EP Transcends will be out September 30, so keep your eyes open on your digital vendor of choice to pick up your copy.  Here’s Jackie Venson’s Live music video for “Flying” – Richard:

Dani Robert’s Music Video for “Clouds”

Dani Robert is sharing her debut music video with us entitled “Clouds”.  Dani goes to a softer level of voice for this single because of the nature of the song.  It is a slower pop single that tells the story of childhood love developing into an adult relationship and deciding to take a leap and confess that love or being to scared to confess.  This story will resonate with several people, because whether it is a long friendship or new one that moment when an individual wants to confess deeper feelings is a scary moment, in fear of rejection.  But one never knows until it is acted upon.  The instrumentals in this single backup Dani really nicely and don’t over power her voice in the telling of this story.  The music video is really well constructed with shots of her intermixed with the growing couple in the song.  Check out Dain Robert’s music video “Clouds” here through her YouTube channel – Richard:
