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

Kyle Motsinger’s Music Video for “Midwest Boy”

Kyle Motsinger, with his single “Midwest Boy”, has developed a piece that mixes a couple of time periods.  At the beginning of the single the piano gives it a 1920’s feel and Kyle cements that feeling in the music video.  The first minute, eight second of the music video feels like a 1920’s movie.  After the minute – eight mark the music and video shift into a modern day setting and hits a pop beat that mixes 1970’s and current trends…you can definitely pick up on his theatrical background with this single.  I’m sure Kyle is probably pulling from personal past, but his appearance and friendly face makes it hard for him to pull of a hard ridden Midwest boy.  It’s a fun single that once it starts clipping along and with the upbeat feel I enjoyed it and hope he carries that upbeat feeling into his other music.  Here’s the music video for “Midwest Boy” from Kyle Motsinger’s YouTube channel and then be sure to check out his album Far Away, available June 9, from your digital vendor of choice – Richard:

Brian Fitzy’ Single “No Idea”

Brian Fitzy is bring us some R&B with his single “No Idea”.  Brian has a voice that is in the higher register and it fits well with the upbeat rhythm of this single.  When you listen to it you kind of get a Hall & Oates feel minus the Oates.  With his higher voice and the upbeat rhythm it gives the single a bright airy feel to it.  Interested in what else Brain will release in the future.  Here’s Brian Fitzy’ “No Idea” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Seven Day Sleep’s Music Video “Red Lipstick Murders”

Seven Day Sleep isn’t wanting our listeners to sleep.  They want you to check out their music video for their single “Red Lipstick Murders”.  The leads vocals are really crisp and clear and when the single starts the simple keystrokes sound eerie and then the heavy sound hits fast to lead into the verse which is more of a pop influence and then they band takes you into the metal sound with the chorus.  I really love the beat of this single and the different things that they bring into it.  Seven Day Sleep’s style for this single appeals to me and I think others will enjoy it as well.  The music video they have with the single is fun to watch as well.  All the way around a nicely packaged single.  Their EP A Home For Disgusting Fairies is due out on June 2 so keep an eye out on your digital vendors of choice.  Until then enjoy Seven Day Sleep’s music video for “Red Lipstick Murders” – Richard:

Nozart Releases Story Driven Single “Orphanage”

Nozart is back and this time they are sharing with our listeners their single “Orphanage”.  For fans of songs that are story based, which Logan and I are,  “Orphanage” is made for you.  The opening to this single itself feels like you are opening a book and getting ready to read a story.  The simple rhythm and instruments give this single a fairy tale aspect.  The vocals come through nice and clear and add to the story quality.  It is a slower song, but the quality overcomes that.  We are choosing to show the music video for “Orphanage” from Nozart’s YouTube channel.  One because it is an animated video and we love animation here and two the animation for the music video makes it feel like you are reading a Neil Gaiman story made by Tim Burton.  Props to Noah Kellman on a finely done song and music video.  Here’s Nozart’s “Orphanage” music video – Richard:
