ZULI’s “Blaze” Music Video

ZULI is sharing with our listeners his music video for his single “Blaze”.  “Blaze” hits the listener with a fun pop rhythm that gets your head to bobbin’.  About the half way point the single goes into a more rock sound then transitions back into the pop realm with just the instrumentals being allowed to rift.

The music video is an animated outing which definitely hits my sweet spot with my love for animation.  This single is an all around fun listen and watch with cameos from the crew of South Park, the doctors from Scrubs, and Mulder and Scully.

ZULI might be in your neighborhood so be sure to check out his tour date below.  whether he’s in your area or not check out his “Blaze” music video  through his VEVO channel – Richard:

No Dry Country’s Single “Elvis Gun Runner”

This is a fun upbeat single that grabs you from the start and No Dry Country wants you to enjoy it.  Their single “Elvis Gun Runner” has an infusion of Outlaw Country, some Rock, and a bit of Pop Country.  The beat reminds me of Sawyer Brown’s “The Race Is On” remake.  The lead singers voice brings to mind Jackson Browne, whom I enjoy.  Keep an eye out for No Dry Country’s album Panhandle Music from your favorite digital vendor.  Until then enjoy No Dry Country’s “Elvis Gun Runner” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Ferentz and the Felons “Hudson County” Music Video

Ferentz and the Felons is sharing with out listeners their music video for their single “Hudson County”.  This single is the title track off their upcoming album by the same name.  The video takes the viewer into an urban struggle and a person deciding it’s time to say that’s it, let’s go somewhere else and start fresh.  The single itself has a country feel, but it builds to a more rock sound towards the latter part giving it a southern rock feel.  Check out “Hudson County” through Ferentz and Felons’ YouTube Channel and keep an eye out for their album, of the same name, due out July 13 – Richard:

DAANI’s New Single “All of A Sudden”

DAANI is sharing with out listeners her single “All of a Sudden”.  For me this single feels like a Mod song from the 1960’s.  It has that fast clipy beat.   With DAANI’s lower register it fits that Mod style well and then when the electronic sound on her voice through the chorus it nails that sound down even more.  Check out DAANI’s single “All of a Sudden” through SoundCloud – Richard:
