Eileen Carey’s Music Video for “Good Bad Girl”

Eileen Carey let our listeners check out her single “Good Bad Girl” a while back.  Now she wants everyone to enjoy her music video for the single.  This is just a fun country single to listen to and the director of the video has fun with the concept of the song.  Love the stogie and the lead character walking through the house and Eileen and her band is there singing.  So have fun as you watch Eileen Carey’s music video for her single “Good Bad Girl” through her YouTube channel – Richard:

TJ Stafford’s Music Video for “Catch”

TJ Stafford is sharing with our listeners his music video for his single “Catch”.  TJ gives us a single that has a storytelling element to it and that carries over into the music video.  It might be a slower single, but it’s the story that will hold you with the way TJ sings.  TJ does have a softer voice that blends with the instrumentals easily.  Here’s TJ Stafford’s music video for “Catch” through his YouTube channel:

Jelly Ellington’s Music Video “Let Go”

Jelly Ellington is sharing with our listeners his music video for “Let Go”, featuring Philly G.  Jelly gives us a single that has some really nice guitar features and he actually begins the song with a guitar solo.  The rhythm is moody and kind of bluesy and along with the music video we take a stroll through the city as he sings.  Philly G. comes in half way through the single with a very well done feature.  This is one that definitely slows the pace down, but we need that every now and then.  Here’s Jelly Ellington’s “Let Go” music video featuring Philly G. through Jelly’s YouTube channel – Richard:

Tokyo Ghoul Live Action Trailer

If you are lucky enough the live action adaptation of Tokyo Ghoul will be in select theaters October 16-22.  If you are like us and don’t live near a large city you’ll just have to wait until it gets released on DVD/Blu-ray.  How long that wait will be I’m not sure, but at least fans in North America have FUNimation that is going to be a distributor for the film.  Here’s the trailer for Tokyo Ghoul for you through FUNimation’s YouTube channel:

Zuli’s Music Video for “Kubadiver”

Zuli hits a wide range of emotions in their music video for their single “Kubadiver”.   The single starts out in a slow melodic pace reflective of ballad type songs for the late 1960’s.  Then at around the 1:20 mark the band picks up the pace and you shift into a faster almost bubblegum pop sound and in the video the band is eating cake.  It doesn’t stop there, because this single has a third act and Zuli goes into an even higher gear at around the 2:00 minute mark the video takes on a different tone and so does the single.  At this point of the video the band members get sick and everyone gets to know about it and the video has shifting strobe light effects, so be aware if you are watching this video.  Anyway it’s like the band is saying the bubblegum pop sound is to sugary and they are getting sick of it and they shift into a heavy metal sound.  Very interesting mix of genres and the three movements didn’t bother me and I enjoyed the single.  Here’s Zuli’s music video for “Kubadiver” through their YouTube channnel – Richard:
