Iceland’s Vok Gives us another Single “I’ll Wait for You”

musevok

Vok has given us a nice ballad to listen to with “Eg bio pin” (I’ll Wait for You).  This is a very emotional and drawn out song.  It has a little techno feel with slow jass mixed in for an interesting mix.  The vocals are really clear, but don’t over power the music.  If you are interested in exploring new music from other areas of our world check Vok out and you can listen to “I’ll Wait for You” here through SoundCloud – Richard:

“Sorry for Not Being Sorry” Dekoder Remix

I’m usually not a fan of remixes but Dekoder’s remix of Haley Pharo’s single “Sorry For Not Being Sorry” is really good.  Check it out through SoundCloud below, I think it will make your head bob to the music – Richard:

Warner Bros. finally gives us a Science Fiction Space Opera that is original and not based off anything that I can tell.  The story looks decent and the special effects in the trailer look good.  Hopefully that will lead to a good SciFi Flic.  It is slated to come out this coming February 2015.  Check out the trailer from Warner Bros. YouTube channel:

Vok’s Latest Single “Vio Vokum”

musevok1

Strange was the first word that popped into my head when I heard Vök’s new single. I was immediately interested when the song started and got into the instrumentals right away. It was very flowy and smooth which reminded me of The Neighborhood. Hearing sounds that would normally clash work together so well is always amazing to hear. My only problem is the vocalist. I didn’t mind her singing in a foreign language because if she puts her emotions into the song I’ll still understand what she’s saying. I just couldn’t get passed how mellow it sounded. The song as a whole was very much like water and I needed a rock to anchor myself. In this case the vocals are supposed to be my rock but they were just another current.

Mammabear Latest Music Video

Already I love this band. From their style to their name, they’ve got everything I look for in a band. Not to mention I loved the music. The grinding of the electric guitars and just overall clash made for some amazing rock. The only critique I have is that the vocals need to be brought out more. When I hear the singer he sounds great (even with the voice modifications) because he fits the music really well but for the most part I can’t hear him. Even when I can hear him it’s hard to understand a thing he’s saying, which stops their message from getting through to others, if Mammabear fixed that small thing they would be incredible.

-April B.
