Emma Charleston’s Latest Music Video “Don’t Wait Up”

Emma Charleston has been very generous with us and our listeners.  She is sharing with everyone again her latest music video for her single “Don’t Wait Up” from her Enjoy the Ride EP.  This is a little slower song and has a beautiful string instrumentality.  At first the single sounds very simplistic with just the guitar and Emma’s voice, but very shortly into the single we get a great encompassing sound when the other strings and background singers come in.  The music video itself is a studio type video so you get to see all of the artists involved in making this single.  Very nicely done all the way around.  Here’s Emma Charleston’s music video “Don’t Wait Up” through her YouTube channel – Richard:

Kelsey Kerrigan’s Single “Driving Around”

Kelsey Kerrigan want’s everyone to take a listen to her single “Driving Around”.  This single has an upbeat driving beat that gets the listener interested from the start.  The style is kind of a pop infused folk sound.  This is one that you would throw into the car and as the title suggests just listen to as you’re driving around.  It’s one of those songs that gets your head to bobbing.  The ending will catch you by surprise, but as a whole I enjoyed it.  Here’s Kelsey Kerrigan’s single “Driving Around” through SoundCloud – Richard:

The Lavender Scare’s Single “Drag for a Queen”

The Lavender Scare is sharing with us their single “Drag for a Queen”.  The style of this single is very much in the tradition of what you might hear coming out of the theater or more specifically the cabaret.  With this being my only experience with the duos music I’m unsure if they will continue with this style or develop other sounds.  This is a very specific style, but The Lavender Scare hits it on the mark.  Here’s The Lavender Scare’s “Drag for A Queen” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Common Deer’s Newest Single “Wait!”

Common Deer is giving our listeners a taste of their second EP with their single “Wait!”  This single has a good driving beat that is sustained throughout the single.  The verse is fairly tame, but when the chorus hits it comes in strong with a powerful burst of energy.  The band’s second EP is simply entitle EPII which is available from your digital vendor of choice.  Here’s Common Deer’s single “Wait!”, through SoundCloud, for you to check out while your looking up their music – Richard:

Conventioner’s Single “Trouble”

Conventioner has a smoky sound to his voice that draws you into his single “Trouble” from his Legacy EP.  This single would feel comfortable in a romantic movie, specifically the part where the leads realize they are in love with each other and are struggling to express themselves.  The instrumentals have a nice smooth flow to them that carry the listeners along the verse to it’s conclusion.  Conventioner has a second EP out now entitled Love or Protection and he wanted our listeners to get a taste of his music with “Trouble”.  So as you listen check out both of this EPs on you digital vendor of choice.  Here’s Conventioner’s single “Trouble” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Between the Rain’s Single “Mudroom”

Between the Rain is giving our listeners some hard rock to get us driving forward through the day, with their single “Mudroom”.  For me this is some nice old school hard rock with the guitar pushing the song forward and the vocals being sung with some attitude.  Really nice job and fans for this genre will love their single.  Definitely interested in what the band will give us next.  So get some attitude going with Between the Rain’s single “Mudroom” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Orissa’s Single “Tara”

Orissa is sharing with our listeners their single “Tara”.  This is one that will appeal to our long play listeners.  I believe Orissa wants “Tara” to be a musical experience for you.  Their style for this single is stadium rock with a nice guitar solo for the listener to get into.  “Tara” is from the band’s upcoming album Resurrection due out this Fall.  Until the album’s release here’s Orissa’s single “Tara” for you to enjoy through SoundCloud – Richard:

Another strong rock outing for Crashing Atlas with their new single “Savages”.  Vocals and nice and clear and the instrumentals are on point with a rocking beat.  We had a spotlight on them previously with the bands single “Ascend” and Crashing Atlas has not disappointed with “Savages”.  If you haven’t picked up their Ascend album yet, get to you digital vendor of choice to get it.  Here’s Crashing Atlas’ “Savages”, through SoundCloud, for you to enjoy while you look for their album – Richard:

Josh Taerk’s Single “Learning To Let Go”

Josh Taerk is sharing with our listeners his single “Learning To Let Go”.  Josh has a very natural folk/country sound with his smooth baritone voice.  The song itself I really enjoy the message because sometimes some of us can’t let go of something and to move forward we need to, even though it might be difficult.  The single has a light fresh feel to it that is really enjoyable that you will enjoy listening to.  But don’t take my word for it check out Josh Taerk’s “Learning To Let Go” through SoundCloud – Richard:
