Emma Charleston’s “Wonderland”

Emma Charleston is back and sharing with us her latest single “Wonderland”.  Emma gives us a folksy ballad that fits her strong clear voice.  With her second folk single out this seems to be the genre of choice for her, but as with any artist they will have fun with other genres as well.  As with Emma’s first single “Falling”, “Wonderland” will be enjoyed by our listeners of folk music and some that want to enjoy a solid ballad that transports you into your mind’s memory of a loved shared.  Here’s Emma Charleston’s “Wonderland” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Lostboycrow’s Music Video for “Verona”

Get your Romeo and Juliet fix here with Lostboycrow’s latest music video “Verona”.  Lostboycrow stays in the pop club scene type of vibe with his single “Verona”.  Everything meshes fairly well, but when he blends in with the instrumentals, during the single’s chorus, he goes into his falsetto voice and having a softer voice it can get lost within the music.  It’s just hard to do when you hit the falsetto, it’s like for people that have a lower register voice, the singers voice just automatically gets softer.  With “Verona” Lostboycrow is right their on that line, but it doesn’t go completely over that line.  The music video itself, like I said, is a tribute to the Romeo and Juliet story and is fun to watch.  For music videos I enjoy the story videos, but I also enjoy the tribute videos and AMVs that people have done, for me it makes for a more enjoyable viewing.  So with that join Lostboycrow and enjoy his music video for “Verona” through his YouTube channel – Richard:

23rd Hour’s Shares “Hypothetically” Music Video

23rd Hour is made up of the duo Sherry-Lynn Lee and George Paolini and they are sharing with us their music video “Hypothetically”.  The single itself is a cross between lounge room and western elements.  Sherry-Lynn has this powerful voice that comes in and the two mix it well with George’s softer lower voice and the way they sing it reminds you of a lounge room atmosphere or club even.  The instrumentals are acoustical and then one instrument that sways the listener into the western genre is the steel guitar.  The music video itself is an in studio filming of the two singing “Hypothetically” and spotlights the two individually and also that steel guitar I mentioned.  If to enjoy a more relaxed pace of life here’s 23rd Hour’s “Hypothetically” music video, through their YouTube channel, and keep a look out for their album Perfect Strangers slated to come out later this month – Richard:

PEP Shares Their Music Video for “Get Physical”

We had a great time listening to PEP’s single “Get Physical” with it’s tribal beat and call back to music of the 1950’s.  Now PEP is sharing with us their music video for “Get Physical” and it’s just as fun as the single.  The music video in my opinion pays homage to the sleepover scene in Grease (and if you haven’t seen Grease go watch it!).  So take some time to watch PEP’s “Get Physical” music video, through their YouTube channel and be transported back in time – Richard:

Nick Blaemire’s Single “Coffee & Wine”

Nick Blaemire is sharing with our listeners his sinlge “Coffee & Wine” that features Daniel J. Watts.  The single starts out slow and then Nick kicks it into gear and speeds up the rhythm which fits much better than the slower beat.  Love the chorus that brings in the brass section, very nice.  Daniel J. Watts helps through out the single and then comes in with a rap section, this will throw some listeners off with this slowing the single down again, but when you listen to his lyrics you understand why they do it because he is talking about be medicated and we need some caffeine to get back into the flow.  “Coffee & Wine” is part of Nick’s The Ampersand EP that is available from you choice of digital vendors.  Check out Nick Blaemire’s “Coffee & Wine”, featuring Daniel J. Watts, through SoundCloud – Richard:

Anna Rose’s “Bury Me Deep” Lyric Video

Anna Rose is back with her sultry voice with “Bury Me Deep”.  If you remember from our podcast featuring Anna’s EP Strays in the Cut the Crew really enjoyed Anna’s style.  She delivers on the rock aspect, but with “Bury Me Deep” she uses her voice and the instrumentality to put together a slower more soulful sound.  The lyric video is done in grey scale with the lyrics fading in and out over the multiple imagery that the director has chosen for the video.  This makes for a more interesting lyric video.  If you haven’t check out Anna’s EP yet, check out this sample she is sharing with us through her YouTube channel and then find her on your digital content vendor of choice.  Here’s Anna Rose’s “Bury Me Deep” lyric video – Richard:

Hidden Cabins Music Video “Bet It All On You”

Hidden Cabins is sharing with our listeners their music video for their single “Bet It All On You”.  This single and music video are for those that love the long play singles, with this one ranging in over 9 minutes in length.  For me this type of single is one that you just hit play and then you just have to let yourself go and experience the music.  The instrumentals are more of an acoustic sound keeping it simple in nature.  The lead singer has a quality to it that made me think of the lead singers style for Crash Test Dummies that the Alt/Rock fans will be happy to hear.  The music video itself is pretty simplistic to match the single.  It has one constantly looping image that gets darker as it progresses to the end of the video until only the duos name, Hidden Cabins, is spotlighted.  A nice piece of effect.  Here’s Hidden Cabins music video for “Bet It All On You” through Blank TV’s YouTube channel – Richard:
