Sweden’s Tom Levin gives us “Mind’s Eye”

Tom Levin is one that surprised me. Tom comes to us from Sweden with his debut single “Mind’s Eye”. Looking at the pic above most people will wonder if this will be for them. However, when you listen to Tom he has a very clear voice. The opening hits you in the face with a tribal feel and then when Tom comes in the single takes on an almost folk feel. So I guess you could say it has a tribal/folk feeling. The lyrics are fun and with his baritone/bass voice gives it a powerful tone as well. Take a listen through SoundCloud – Richard

Jeanine Debuts “Runnin'”

This is a promising start for Jeanine. “Runnin'” reminded me of something Diana Ross might sing, just in a higher register. I have to say I love the Wolverine pic above. Anyway back to the single. Jeanine even with a higher voice, she is very clear with her lyrics, which is difficult for a higher register singer. I also loved the up beat of “Runnin” . The beat does get a little repetitive, but I believe that was what Jeanine was going for. By the time the single is finished the listener is wore out, just like you would be if you were running. Definitely interested in her future releases. Take a listen through SoundCloud – Richard:

The Great Work’s Latest “Yellow Diamond”

Here is the latest single from The Great Work, “Yellow Diamond”. This has a nice rock feel that everyone will like. For me the instruments over powered the vocalist and to me would be more a more enjoyable single if they group could balance out their sound. Give it a listen through SoundCloud – Richard:

New from Adrian Croom: “Fast Forward”

Adrian Croom comes to with an instrumental that has flavors of hip/hop and traditional elements. I wasn’t sure what to expect from his single “Fast Forward”, but I listened to it and came away enjoying it. I like the simple style in my music at times and with “Fast Forward: having the piano present through the whole song I really enjoyed. When the hip/hop comes in it takes a shift for me and almost feels like a futuristic sound that you would find in a science fiction movie. Can’t wait to hear move from Adrian myself, but you can check out “Fast Forward” below through SoundCloud – Richard:

Year of October’s latest “Gone”

Year of October has a blending of Blues and Rock and that is evident in their latest single “Gone”. The verse with Phlecia carries the bluesy feel, but then the song takes a step back for Josh to do a rock guitar riff. This is an interesting mix and it worked for me. Check out “Gone” through SoundCloud below – Richard:

Spitty95’s Single “No Flex Zone”

Here’s one from one of our friends on Twitter, Spitty95, with the single “No Flex Zone”. Wasn’t thrilled with the opening, but once the song came into focus they had a real clear sound. Sometimes in Rap that can be a difficult thing. The sound is more of a mainstream rap, something you could hear on even a pop station. I don’t know if this is intentional or not, but it does give Spitty95 more crossover appeal. I have to comment, being a science fiction fan I loved the Back to the Future reference, it was fun to hear. Take a listen through SoundCloud below – Richard

Going to a “Farpoint” with Harris Hawk

Harris Hawk gives everyone a nice hard rock single with “Farpoint”. This is one that hard rock fans will enjoy. There is a short bridge where the song softens a little, but it is primarily in your face with electric guitar the featured piece in the driving beat. Rock out with Harris Hawk through SoundCloud below – Richard:

Getting Techie with What Model Citizens’ “Too Late”

“Too Late”, from What Model Citizens, has a strong 1980’s synth feel. Kind of in the vain of Devo and other groups like that. The Music Video definitely leans toward the Steampunk genre and the song lends itself well to that genre as well. So if you are into Steampunk or the synth music check out the music video below from Vimeo – Richard:
