I’m usually not a fan of remixes but Dekoder’s remix of Haley Pharo’s single “Sorry For Not Being Sorry” is really good. Check it out through SoundCloud below, I think it will make your head bob to the music – Richard:
Vok’s Latest Single “Vio Vokum”
Strange was the first word that popped into my head when I heard Vök’s new single. I was immediately interested when the song started and got into the instrumentals right away. It was very flowy and smooth which reminded me of The Neighborhood. Hearing sounds that would normally clash work together so well is always amazing to hear. My only problem is the vocalist. I didn’t mind her singing in a foreign language because if she puts her emotions into the song I’ll still understand what she’s saying. I just couldn’t get passed how mellow it sounded. The song as a whole was very much like water and I needed a rock to anchor myself. In this case the vocals are supposed to be my rock but they were just another current.

Mammabear Latest Music Video
Already I love this band. From their style to their name, they’ve got everything I look for in a band. Not to mention I loved the music. The grinding of the electric guitars and just overall clash made for some amazing rock. The only critique I have is that the vocals need to be brought out more. When I hear the singer he sounds great (even with the voice modifications) because he fits the music really well but for the most part I can’t hear him. Even when I can hear him it’s hard to understand a thing he’s saying, which stops their message from getting through to others, if Mammabear fixed that small thing they would be incredible.

Aers’ Music Video for Their Single “With a Light”
The first thing I noticed-before the video even began- was that it was roughly a 5 minute song, with that much time to fill it better be good. Sadly, I wasn’t over the moon for Aers. Their intro was very melodic and interesting but the voice plus the slow tempo didn’t do it for me. The voice is too flowy and to me sounded like a bad trip off mushrooms because it was injected with so many voice changes, the saddest part is that through all of that I can hear a really great voice if they wouldn’t doctor it up so much or even not at all. The tempo dragged the song on and I was leaning forward but not in the good way- I was leaning over to try to get the song to go faster. It seemed strange at such a slow tempo and was almost painstakingly slow. If Aers upped the tempo and took out all the voice modifiers I would definitely give them another listen to.

Sariah’s Latest Single “Aware, Alive, Awake”
This is definitely what I thought I would listen to. Sariah’s name is very sophisticated, along with her image and it was strange hearing a sound that didn’t match that. Instead of getting a smoker’s lounge feel like I thought, I got a very poppy sound. It seems almost too immature for Sariah and doesn’t fit her. I was intrigued during the intro because I thought she was going to put an electro spin on classical or older music but that wasn’t the case. Sariah has a great voice and I feel like it’s better suited for standards or other older, timeless genres.
