TRISTN’s Single “Anywhere But Here”

“Anywhere But Here” has a quiet opening and then around 26 seconds in the instruments fill in with an encompassing warm sound.  Through the verse TRISTN builds up to the chorus then crescendos to give the single some kinetic energy.  She backs off again with the second verse but with the crescendo for the second chorus she keeps that intensity through the rest of the song.  Very nicely done and TRISTN is sharing her single “Anywhere But Here” with our listeners through SoundCloud, so enjoy – Richard:

Sydney Lauren’s Lyric Video for “Haunt Me”

Sydney Lauren is sharing with the our listeners her lyric video for her single “Haunt Me”.  This single has a driving bass beat that goes through out the whole song.  It takes an interesting twist during the chorus when the bass has a distorted sound to it, but then comes back to the main drive during the verse.  Sydney’s voice is nice and clear and is a pleasure to listen to.  During the verse another technique is used to give the single more depth and that is the use of bells that you hear in the background.  The single comes from Sydney’s Left in Motion EP that is available now and it gives the story of a person that is in a new relationship and is slowly seeing that you can’t let past bad relationships make you give up hope on a future one that might be good.  Here’s Sydney Lauren’s lyric video for “Haunt Me” through her YouTube channel – Richard:

Jelly Ellington’s Music Video “Let Go”

Jelly Ellington is sharing with our listeners his music video for “Let Go”, featuring Philly G.  Jelly gives us a single that has some really nice guitar features and he actually begins the song with a guitar solo.  The rhythm is moody and kind of bluesy and along with the music video we take a stroll through the city as he sings.  Philly G. comes in half way through the single with a very well done feature.  This is one that definitely slows the pace down, but we need that every now and then.  Here’s Jelly Ellington’s “Let Go” music video featuring Philly G. through Jelly’s YouTube channel – Richard:

Zuli’s Music Video for “Kubadiver”

Zuli hits a wide range of emotions in their music video for their single “Kubadiver”.   The single starts out in a slow melodic pace reflective of ballad type songs for the late 1960’s.  Then at around the 1:20 mark the band picks up the pace and you shift into a faster almost bubblegum pop sound and in the video the band is eating cake.  It doesn’t stop there, because this single has a third act and Zuli goes into an even higher gear at around the 2:00 minute mark the video takes on a different tone and so does the single.  At this point of the video the band members get sick and everyone gets to know about it and the video has shifting strobe light effects, so be aware if you are watching this video.  Anyway it’s like the band is saying the bubblegum pop sound is to sugary and they are getting sick of it and they shift into a heavy metal sound.  Very interesting mix of genres and the three movements didn’t bother me and I enjoyed the single.  Here’s Zuli’s music video for “Kubadiver” through their YouTube channnel – Richard:

Town Meeting’s Latest Single “Geography”

It’s time for another Town Meeting.  This time Town Meeting is letting us enjoy their folk single “Geography” from their Geography Part 1 EP.  This is a nice clean folk single.  Sometimes simply is best and with “Geography” the group uses the acoustical sound to all it’s advantages.  I enjoy having the different types of music so you can take breaks and slow down and enjoy these traditions that music has sprung from.  Take some time to listen to “Geography”, through SoundCloud, and if you like what you here be sure to look up their EP from your digital vendor of choice.  I know I’m eager to hear more – Richard
