The Captain’s Son Releases “Walking Around Purposely”

The Captain’s Son is sharing with our listeners their single “Walking Around Purposely”. from their self-titled EP.  This single harkens back to some old school rock/pop sound.  Think of the music back in the 1960’s/1970’s when you would have bands pop up from local garages and play in the high schools or clubs.  The trio capture that feel perfectly and I enjoyed the trip back to that time period for some fun music.  Here’s The Captain’s Son’s single “Walking Around Purposely” through SoundCloud and if you enjoy them make sure to support them through your download provider of choice – Richard:

People the Kangaroo Music Video for “The Death of You”

People The Kangaroo is sharing with our listeners their latest music video for the single “The Death of You”.  This single is pure electro/pop that has a fun rhythm to it.  The vocals blend in with the instrumentals, but the vocals hover just enough above that you can still enjoy them.  The music video is the group and director having fun with reversing the camera shots and making a mess of everything.  I could see this one in a dance club where everyone and the laser show dances to the beat.  Check out People The Kangaoo’s music video for the single “The Death of You”, from their YouTube channel – Richard

Remix of Tammy’s Single “Away for the Weekend”

Ester has done a remix of Tammy’s single “Away for the Weekend”.  We spotlighted Tammy’s single on a previous post and with this she is giving our listeners the opportunity to hear the remix.  The remix gives it some heavy bass beats that gives the single a feel of urgency.  If you liked the ballad feel of the first one it might take a bit to get used to the remix, but once you get the feel of the remix it flowed for me.  Like I said the remix gave it a faster pace with an urgency feel with the bass beats added.  See what you think of Ester’s remix of Tammy’s “Away for the Weekend” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Don DiLego’s Music Video for “Idiot Heart”

Today Don DiLego is treating our listeners to his music video for the folk/country ballad “Idiot Heart”.  This tune has a very somber tone to it, but it is delivered in a way that captures the listener.  Don’s voice fits the style really well and I am definitely interested in more from his album Magnificent Ram A that is available for purchase.  The way the lyrics translate for me is that it is about an individual that is unsure of him/her self in a relationship and ultimately the relationship falls apart, even though they don’t want it to.  The music video for the single is well made and gives the viewer a country home feel.  If you like what you hear be sure to look for Magnificent Ram A from your downloader of choice.  Until then here’s the music video for “Idiot Heart” from Don DiLego’s YouTube channel – Richard:

James Kruman gives a “Country Sigh”

James Kruman is sharing with our listeners his single “Country Sigh’.  This single definitely rings true from the United Kingdom.  “Country Sigh” is within the folk music, but with the stylings of the music and James’ voice it is very distinct and you know that it is a country/folk style from across the pond.  James has a very deep bass voice that can be difficult for a singer.  I’m interested in seeing what his other works sound like from his album Twitch.  Here’s James Kruman’s music video for this single “Country Sigh” from his YouTube channel – Richard:

Anousheh Wants to “Get To You”

Another strong outing by Anousheh with her latest electro/pop single “Get to You”.  Anousheh continues with her catchy rhythms and strong voice.  You can definitely feel a 1990’s influence with this single.  The first thing that popped into my head upon listening to “Get to You” is that reminded me of something Belinda Carlisle would have sung.  Check out Anousheh’s “Get to You” through SoundCloud here – Richard:

Ninet’s Music Video for “Subservient”

Ninet is sharing with our listeners her music video for the single “Subservient”.  Ninet is currently working on her first U.S. album and has four album’s that she did in Israel.  With this single and music video Ninet will intrigue many and make others uncomfortable.  “Subservient” plays on the sexuality that many will recognize from Eyes Wide Shut and Shades of Grey.  The single has a very seductive feel to it and the music video is really well made.  I really enjoyed it, but it is definitely a mood piece.  So if you so desire, take a trip on the little darker side of life with Ninet’s “Subservient” music video through her YouTube channel – Richard:
