Ultra Violent Rays Make a “Wish”

museultra

“Wish” is Ultra Violent Rays latest single, that they are sharing with us.  At first I wasn’t sure about this single, but as I listened to it the song grew on me.  So don’t judge “Wish” to quickly, let it play out and I think you will find yourself enjoying it.  Check it out through SoundCloud – Richard:

Jennie Vee Gives us “Lips Like Sugar”

musejennie

Here is Jennie Vee’s single from her upcoming EP Spying, “Lips Like Sugar”.  I haven’t listened to the complete EP yet, but with this single Jennie blends her voice in with the instruments.  I’m not sure if this is going to be ongoing or if the blending is just for this single.  With this style it really had a feel like something the Bangles would have put out back in the day.  Yes I made a Bangles reference, nothing wrong with that, I enjoyed the Bangles and I enjoyed Jennie’s “Lips Like Sugar”.  There was also a nice mid-section where the guitar got a nice solo in which doesn’t always happen these days.  Check out Jennie Vee’s music video for “Lips Like Sugar” from her YouTube channel – Richard:
