herMajesty Gives Us the Single “Crystals”

blackpandaPRherMajisty

Let me just start off by saying how cool it is that the band decided to start of their name lower cased and capitalized majesty, that’s probably one of the coolest band names I’ve ever seen. Now on to the music, I loved the intro and the instrumentals throughout the whole song. It had a sort of rocking motion that reminded me of the ocean and is very soothing. My only problem was the vocals. I don’t think the vocals fit well in general with the rest of the music. It didn’t sit on top of the music comfortably and overall I just didn’t really feel like it worked. If they could work on the vocals I would really like to see where they would go.

– April B.

Wow, this harkens back to the ’60’s style of music to me, maybe early ’70’s feel.  It is a sound you don’t hear much these days.  This will appeal to individuals in my age range that a younger crowd, unless they are open to a different feel to their music. – Richard

Go back in time with “Crystals” shared by SoundCloud:

Falling on Hard Times Single from Julius

blackpandaPRjulius

Julius comes out of the gates strong with his intro and then the song kind of has a letdown when the vocals come in. The vocals were fine and I really loved the instrumentals behind him. The intro just doesn’t make sense with the rest of the song. The intro starts strong and makes me think something almost grand is about to happen, when in reality the song’s energy completely changes and I am left hanging high and dry. He should’ve either made the rest of the song fit his intro or made an intro that fit the rest of the song. Julius has great potential. Once he works out the kinks and rough music blending he’ll be great.

– April B.

“Falling on Hard Times” instrumentality does have a grandiose feel to it.  Julius’ voice is one that has a storyteller tone to it that would work well with rock or folk music.  I enjoy his voice and after listening to the single it is one that grows on you.  The ending is a little harsh, but otherwise I liked the overall song and would be interested in hearing other songs by him – Richard

Thanks to SoundCloud for allowing us to share his single.  Take a moment to listen:

Alexander Wildwood’s “Summer Skin” Single

blackpandaPRalexander wildwood

 

This is a good Summer song.  It has an upbeat feel to it.  It’s not quite pop or beach music, but a combo of both, leaning more to the beach type music.  Alexander has a lighter/higher voice so he will have to be careful so his instrumentals don’t overpower his voice.  “Summer Skin” is right there on the edge at times with the instruments overpowering him.

I’m interested in what else he will bring out and everyone be sure to check him out here on SoundCloud- Richard
