Adventure Galley’s “Marooned”

What is today’s bands deal with old, trippy sounding vocals? I was hooked from the very beginning of ‘Marooned’ and was taken out of it by the vocals. The electro feel they have going on is awesome and makes me instantly start to move. The voice treatment is what stops me from enjoying this song as much as I want to. I’ve run across this problem a lot over my time reviewing music and I wish it would just stop. Adventure Galley is an awesome name and the group has amazing potential if they would just fix that one little bit.

-April B.

This is were different people like different things. I guess I’m one of those old timers 🙂 that likes this sound. Like April said the beat gets you moving and for me the vocals remind me of some of the bands in my day. The one that comes to mind mostly is The Cars and their style. I also love the music video with the 1950’s SciFi Movie feel, right up my alley. Two differing opinions, which is great that’s what makes all of this interesting. – Richard

Haley Pharo’s Single “Prisoner”

I really enjoyed the brief intro of “Prisoner” but I don’t think the feeling stayed for the whole song. It was a little too 90’s R&B for me. Neither the music nor Haley Pharo were very strong and clear. I like it when one or the other is strong so that the song doesn’t end up sounding mushy. I do get where Pharo is trying to go though and she’s on the right track. I liked the lighter melodies going along with a substantial bass, it just needs to be less muggy. Her music has a good beat that people will move to, as long as she keeps going in the direction I hope she is, she’ll do great.

– April B.

This is were everyone can see that music hits people differently. I enjoyed “Prisoner” and look forward to hearing more from Haley. However, I am a Child of the ’80s/’90’s, which falls within what April was talking about. Also to me Haley’s voice – not style reminds me of Debbie Gibson’s, but that’s just me. – Richard

The music video is below so you can check Haley Pharo out yourself. It comes to us from “Haley Pharo” YouTube channel:

MOXXI’s Single “Ransom”

MOXXI is a very unique individual, and am I the only one that thinks of YouTube’s Boxxy whenever you say her name? lol Anyways, I thought MOXXI’s song “Ransom” was overall very good. Usually I’m not a fan of electronic music but because this song had a lower sound to it I really enjoyed it. MOXXI herself I was torn about; I didn’t mind her voice not being as clear because the music was clear and she sang in a comfortable register but I couldn’t understand her words. The vibe for “Ransom” was also a little confusing and I didn’t enjoy it very much. I couldn’t make sense of the video but I think if I understood MOXXI’s words it would make more sense.

– April B.

This song is definitely one you will hear at a nightclub. MOXXI, I believe is intentionally blending her voice with the music. It doesn’t sound bad, but it does make it hard to hear the lyrics as April commented on. – Richard

The video for “Ransom” is for limited distribution so we can’t show it here, but if you want to listen to the song and watch the music video you can find it on YouTube.
