“Janet Jean” comes to us from Tru Fam. The music to this single has a great beat, the urban hip hop style with a middle eastern flare to it. Not sure if that is just for this individual single or if this style is in all of their music, but I enjoyed it…something a little bit different. Sorry about this next bit guys. I’m not a fan of auto-tune. An artists voice can stand on its own no matter who’s it is. You gentlemen have good voices let the spot light be on them. That is just me, others will like it and enjoy the style. Check out “Janet Jean” through SoundCloud – Richard
“Stay Gold” by of Verona
Mandi Perkins and Dillon Pace, make up the band of Verona, and they have currently released the single “Stay Gold”. Their music is Synth influenced, but with a heavy beat in this single. It feels like it will be a power ballad but it never hits that hard chorus that you expect after the buildup. Instead they pulled back and kept the lyrics softer. It’s an interesting mixture and worked well for them. Check out “Stay Gold” through SoundCloud – Richard:
The Score is “Catching Fire” with Their Latest
Ever have one of those groups you just like. That’s is happening with me with The Score. They have released their second single “Catching Fire” and I still love their style. You have to check them out, I believe the vast majority will like them and want to download their songs. Anyway enough rambling listen to The Score’s “Catching Fire” through SoundCloud – Richard
“This Moment” is Given to us by Janine and the Mixtape
“This Moment (Eckhart Tolle)” is the latest release from Janine and the Mixtape. Janine’s voice just captures me from the start. The transition from the verse to the chorus hit just right to give “This Moment” an extra push with the down beat. The music video is also enjoyable to watch…great job all around. Check out “This Moment (Eckhart Tolle)” on their YouTube channel – Richard:
Scarlette Releases “Helena” Single
Hope everyone that got to go to SXSW had a great time. If you are like me you want to attend, but things happen in life. Anyway Scarlette has been busy and with all of her touring she has also released her second single, “Helena”, from her upcoming EPK Attack of the 6ft Woman. In “Helena” Scarlette slows in down, but still retains a catchy rhythm and edge. Check it out through SoundCloud, like her other singles I think you will enjoy it – Richard

Verre is “BLU”
“BLU” has a pop techno feel to it that will grab that fan following really fast for the group Verre. The lead singer has a nice clear voice that I enjoy and I like the beat that they have with the music. Only a few spots within the single that I didn’t really enjoy but that is just a matter of taste. Take a listen to Verre’s “BLU” through SoundCloud – Richard:
Latest from Ultra Violent Rays
The latest from Ultra Violent Rays is just as moody as the first one we got to listen to from them. With “Vegas” Ultra once again pulls you in with their sound and they don’t let you go until you have finished the single. You can check out “Vegas” by following this link to Surviving the Golden Age website that has the premiere – Richard
