My Darling Fury is sharing with ComicPop Library listeners their latest single “Satisfied”. Really liking this band. This is the second spotlight we have done for them. For “Satisfied” the rhythm is catchy and you could classify this as Americana or Pop/Folk. Their are parts in the single that has a similar sound in the voice as Nate Ruess of Fun. Thank you again to My Darling Fury for allowing us to listen to “Satisfied” through SoundCloud – Richard
S21 is sharing with the ComicPop Library listeners his single “Believe” featuring Krystal Sommers. S21 is fresh on the scene with a freshman album coming out this January. “Believe” is an empowerment song for everyone to take and use as an anthem for themselves. It tells you to dream and strive for your dreams and believe in yourself. S21 has a sharp voice that comes across nice and clear. He could probably embed his voice more with the music and still be crisp enough to still be separate. The chorus is really nice and fits well with the single. All in all a very good single. So here is S21’s “Believe” that he is sharing with us through SoundCloud – Richard:
Ryan Stevenson and Raphael Di Raddo Productions are sharing his latest single and music video for “Hey Baby” with ComicPop LIbrary. With “Hey Baby” it started out with a great beat and turned into a fun song that one could sing to and get into real easily. The style of the single has definite Rock influences, but it is also infused with some Pop aspects. Really catchy and easy to get into. The music video is do very well. The imagery is very clean and crisp and has a nice storyline to it. So it shifts between the storyline and Ryan, but these shifts aren’t jarring. How they filmed Ryan was complimentary to the actors in the storyline portions of the music video. So check out Ryan Stevenson’s “Hey Baby” music video from his YouTube channel and be sure to visit his iTunes page for other music by Ryan – Richard:
I love this single! I have unashamedly said over and over that I enjoy the boy band and girl bands. I like to have fun with my music and The Classic Kids harken back to this sound. Classic Kids is sharing their music video “Just Begun” with the ComicPop Library listeners, the single comes from their Forever Strong EP. These guys still want to have fun with their music and I can appreciate that. Just because you grow older doesn’t mean you have to become oh so serious. “Just Begun” has a great infectious beat and the lyrics are fun and give a positive outlook. Their EP Forever Strong will be released on January 16 so be sure to look for it on your favorite digital music vendors. Check out the music video for “Just Begun” by The Classic Kids they are sharing through their YouTube channel, to lighten up and have some fun – Richard:
A big shout out to Sean Mitchell. He is sharing his music video for his single “Lose My Mind” with the ComicPop Library listeners. This looks to be Sean’s first single and he is starting out with a good one. “Lose My Mind” has a great catchy rhythm and I love the bass beat…it makes your body want to start moving. The lyrics of the single blend in with the instruments, but the production of the single and Sean’s upper voice range separate the vocals and instrumentals so they aren’t fighting each other. I enjoyed the music video and especially love the Superman workout shirt, it’s good to see he can appreciate comic book characters, however the song is the star which it should be. Sean is sharing his “Lose My Mind” music video through the Raphael Di Raddo Productions YouTube channel. If “Lose My Mind” is any indication I can’t wait to hear more from Sean – Richard:

If you love the 1950’s – ’60’s and specifically the Everly Brothers then you will love Dead Rock West’s latest single “Used to Love You”. “Used to Love You” and their album It’s Everly Time is a tribute to the Everly Brothers where they cover a selection of their singles. Cindy Wasserman and Frank Lee Drennen have that natural harmony that fits “Used to Love You” perfectly. You can’t just beat the fun loving beat that the single has even though it is a break up song.

Friday is sharing with the ComicPop listeners his single “Cold” from his upcoming album Nocturnal. Friday, otherwise known as Ricky Dred, uses a fast rhythm in “Cold” . The rhythm is a little repetitive, but it is saved by being catchy and his ability to Rap really well at a fast pace. Some performers will lose the clearness of their voice when rapping fast, however Friday is at ease with the faster rhythm. Take a listen to “Cold” through SoundCloud and if you enjoy it remember to start keeping an eye out for his upcoming Nocturnal album – Richard:
