Charlotte Bash’s Latest Single “Labeled”

Charlotte Bash is giving us another single for our listeners the check out.  This time it is her single “Labeled”, from her Princess Game LP.  Charlotte still gives us her strong voice in a song that reminds everyone it is alright to be yourself.  Don’t let anyone tell you who you should be.  Throughout the single she has a nice base beat going in and out to help “drive” the message home.  Then she has Anye Elite come in with a nice feature at the end of the single to show differences aren’t bad and in this case the different styles of music are complementary and create a great sound.  Here’s Charlotte Bash’s “Labeled” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Upsahl’s Latest Single “Can You Hear Me Now”

Upsahl is sharing with our listeners her latest single “Can You Hear Me Now”.  This single has a catchy rhythm and Upsahl has a nice clear strong voice.  The flow of the music reminds me of something you might have heard back in the late 1990’s in the pop arena.  Even though the subject isn’t the funnest thing to talk about Upsahl, who collaborated with Max Frost on this piece, puts a poppy beat to it that people will get into.  With such a strong voice I’m eager to hear more from Upsahl. Here’s Upsahl’s “Can You Hear Me Now”, which is available now from your digital vendor of choice, through SoundCloud – Richard:

Haneri’s Music Video for “Burning Up”

Haneri is sharing with our listeners her latest “Buring Up” singles music video.  Haneri is venturing well into the pop arena with this single.  The music has a 1980’s style to it and her voice comes through nice and clear, with just a bit of smokiness to it, which makes for a great listening experience.  The song takes on a serious message about abusive relationships, but wraps it up in a catchy rhythm that captures the listeners attention.  Ryan Tan directed the video for Haneri which she is also the lead in.  The video takes her and the watcher on a journey from her apartment through the city discovering that some things aren’t always what they seem.  Very well done all the way around and I can’t wait to see what else Haneri shares.  Here’s “Burning Up” Haneri’s music video through her YouTube channel for you to enjoy – Richard:

Matt Koelsch’s Latest Single “Incomplete”

Matt Koelsch is sharing with our listener’s again.  This time it is for his single “Incomplete” which is a beautiful acoustical piece.  His folk style lends well to this piece with the guitar as the main instrument.  The cherry on top is the chorus, when it comes in you get a warm fuller sound with the addition of what sounds like a violin and cello.  This is a slower single, but oh so good.  I love the sound and Matt’s voice.  Here’s Matt Koelsch’s “Incomplete”, from his EP entitled Thinking of You through SoundCloud and be sure to pick up his EP available now! – Richard:

Goldmyth’s Music Video for “Has to Be Better”

Goldmyth is sharing with our listeners her music video for her single “Has to Be Better”.  The style of this single is a techno or electronica slow melody.  The instruments are not as brass because of the slow feel and Goldmyth uses a breathy voice for the verse and then transitions into a clear tone in the chorus.  I like the breathyness in this single because it adds weight to the single.  “Has to Be Better” is basically about a couple that has broken up and one party wants to get back together and the other is saying if this happens it “Has to Be Better”.  The music video that was shot for this is a washed out club scene in my eyes.  It has the neon and other type of lighting.  They single does pick up its rhythm half way through the song, but it is still clearly a slow thoughtful song.  The EP, Faded Dreams, that this single is from is available, from your digital vendor of choice.  So check out Goldmyth’s music video for “Has to Be Better” from her YouTube channel and then look for her EP – Richard:

Crashing Atlas Single “Ascend”

Crashing Atlas is that clear cut rock band that puts it out there for all to listen and they are doing it with our listeners with their single “Ascend”.  This single just has a nice clean beat with the vocals to prop it up.  I love the sound that they are producing and if “Ascend” is any indication what their EP will be like it will be one to grab up quick.  “Ascend” happens to the the title track off of the EP, so keep your eyes out on September 22 to add Crashing Atlas’ Ascend EP to your rock music library.  Crashing Atlas is letting us listen to the “Ascend” single through their YouTube channel where they have posted a music link with a video that features a picture of the band with the background animated.  So until September 22, here’s Crashing Atlas’ single “Ascend” for everyone to enjoy – Richard:

Resin’s Single “Hoarse”

Resin is hitting our listeners with her ambient single “Hoarse”.  This single has a darker tone that boarders on the edge of experimental rock.  The mood has to be right for “Hoarse” otherwise it will lose part of it’s impact on the listener.  If you are in a contemplative mood and want to set and think about things this would be one to take you to that inner space.  “Hoarse” is from Resin’s upcoming album Fidget, but until then you can check it out here through SoundCloud – Richard:

TRISTN’s Single “Sky Wide Open”

With “Sky Wide Open” TRISTN gives our listeners a fun single to check out.  It starts out and you wonder what’s going to happen, and just seconds into the song the rhythm shifts to a fun electronica beat.  You have a nice base beat that ties the whole thing together, but at the chorus TRISTN hits you with everything hitting you full force.  When I listen to “Sky Wide Open” I hear the influences of bands like the Bangles, which I love.  This is just a fun song that everyone can get up and dance around to whether you are at the club or just at the house, you can’t help but move.  If this is any indication of TRISTN’s January LP, out September 8, you’ll want to add this to your music library.  Here’s TRISTN’s “Sky Wide Open” for you to enjoy until the LP drops – Richard:

Town Meeting’s Single “West of Seattle”

I wish all town meetings could be this way.  The folk/americana band Town Meeting is sharing with our listeners their single “West of Seattle”.  The single starts out as a simple folk sound.  Then when the vocals come in you get transported back to the late 1960’s -1970’s, when folk/americana was in it’s heyday with the variety of artists like John Denver and Bob Dylan.  Town Meeting has a nice clean sound that fits the genre well and will appeal to listeners.  They just came out with their EP Geography, Part 1 that “West of Seattle” is on, so be sure to look them up on your digital vendor of choice and while you’re doing that Town Meeting wants you to enjoy their single “West of Seattle” through SoundCloud – Richard:
