Cado’s Latest Single “Kintsugi”

Cado is back and sharing with our listeners with their latest rap single “Kintsugi”.  This single has a nice airy feel to it with the instrumentals and clapping.  The message is a little more down to reality with things that are happening around a person and the decision to move forward and try to make change hence the verse “Gotta fix it when it’s broken…positivity is king”, don’t necessarily live in the past.  The vocals for Cado are still clear and come through nicely.  Here’s Cado’s latest single “Kintsugi” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Cassandra Maze’s “Wait” Music Video

From the opening guitar solo you get the feel of “Wait” that Cassandra Maze is sharing with us.  This reminds me of some old school rock/pop singles.  You have that driving beat that propels you through the single and then you have the pop flavor pouring in throughout the single.  Very nice mixture that Cassandra achieves and one that many will dig.  I love the clock themed music video that was produced for “Wait”.  Cassandra’s look in the video is great as well and conveys a striking image.  All the way around this is a well crafted single and music video.  Her EP Velocity will be hitting soon so keep an eye out for it from your digital vendor of choice.  Until then enjoy Cassandra Maze’s music video for “Wait” through her YouTube channel – Richard:

Mt. Wolf’s Music Video for “Heavenbound”

Mt. Wolf is sharing with our listeners again.  This time it is their music video for their single “Heavenbound”.  This single is very heavy and the vocals add to that sense of foreboding.  The music video tells the story of a man that hasn’t had the best life and is in the process of losing said life in the hospital that he has been brought into with what looks to be a gunshot wound.  This is one that you will have to be in the right mood for, it’s not a happy go lucky song, it’s one that draws you in and makes you think about life in general.  You can find their new album Aetherlight from your digital vendor of choice.  Here’s Mt. Wolf’s music video through their VEVO YouTube channel – Richard:

Christopher Hawley’s Single “9 Tattoos”

“9 Tattoos” is a fun song by Christopher Hawley.  It has a great light hearted rhythm that brings a smile to my face, right out of the box.  It is also, what Logan and I would consider, a story song, which we both love.  The lyrics that Christopher sings progresses in a linear fashion.  This single reminds for what Paul Simon did with “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover”.  It’s just a fun single.  You probably heard Christopher’s music if you caught it spotlighted on The Good Guys and NFL AM.  I definitely want to hear more from Christopher.  See if you can stop yourself from groovin’ and singing with Christopher Hawley’s “9 Tattoos” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Brad Byrd’s Music Video for “Highest Mountain”

Brad Byrd has that mid-range baritone voice that is easy to listen to.  With “Highest Mountain” he is working that mix of pop/country, with the pop sound being the most prominent style.  It kind of falls in between genres like John Denver’s music did, it’s pop but not quite pop and it’s country but not quite country.  For me this style works and I enjoyed the single with the instrumentals and vocals working really well together to fit Brad’s voice.  Brad’s music has been feature on The New Girl, Happy Endings, American Housewife, Ben & Kate, and Keeping Up with the Kardashians.  The music video fits the single with it taking place on an actual mountain.  It is also interesting that the director used a drone in the mountain’s to get the shots for the video.  Here’s Brad Byrd’s music video “Highest Mountain” from his album by the same name – Richard:

Beachwood Coyotes’ “Face to Face” Single

Beachwood Coyotes is sharing with our listeners their single “Face to Face”.  I really enjoy the beat of this single.  The rhythm gets you going and into the song right away.  The vocals by the group during the chorus are right on that edge of being overpowered by the instrumentals.  Their vocals blend really well with the music and I’m sure the mixer for Beachwood Coyotes’ songs is making sure that, that line isn’t crossed.  There are times when having vocals that blend well can be a blessing and a curse with that fine line, but the band stays true in this single.  Here’s Beachwood Coyotes’ single “Face to Face” through SoundCloud and be sure to keep an eye out for their EP Scrubby – Richard:

Bryan Stave’s Single “Monday Song”

SONY DSC

“Monday Song” is an infectious song.  Bryan Stave hit’s it out of the park on this one for me.  The song is fun and upbeat, with lyrics that are just as fun to listen to.  “Monday Song” is one I can listen to over and over again and not get tired of it, to much fun!  If this song doesn’t get your head to bobbin’ and your foot to tappin’ I don’t know what will.  Even though I’m a day off on when I’m posting this have a listen to Bryan Stave’s single “Monday Song” and brighten up your day with some fun music.  Here it is through SoundCloud – Richard:
