Rebecca Raw has just released her EP Deep Within and she wants to share with our listeners her single “Connection” from the EP. Rebecca has a very nice clear voice that she spotlights in this single well. The style for “Connection” is, to me, a pop/folk feel. The build-up she has in “Connection” hits right on point, almost like a wave washing over you and then she slows it back down to finish the single. I enjoyed this single and can’t wait to her what else she has on her EP. So be sure to check your digital vendor of choice to look for her EP Deep Within. Until then here’s Rebecca Raw’s single “Connection” through SoundCloud for you to enjoy – Richard:

Jerome Bell’s Single “Burn Easy”
Jerome Bell is wanting our listeners to “Burn Easy” with his latest single. From the very first notes you know this single has an island influence. Jerome has this smooth low range that flows over the listener. With the island music and its timbre it is fun blending you voice with the instruments and not be over taken by the instruments. Jerome goes right to that edge with this piece, but doesn’t cross it. You can still distinguish the lyrics as the chorus is playing, but it is something that any artist like Jerome has to watch out for with their lower voice range. “Burn Easy” itself is one to take with you that can be used to set a mood, were the couple described in the song are taking it slow so neither one of them gets burned. Many can relate to this and even though a summer fling might be fun, taking it slow might be more fulfilling in the long run. Here’s Jerome Bell’s “Burn Easy” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Lovely.The.Band’s Lyric Video for “Broken”
With “Broken” Lovely.The.Band is letting everyone know they are here. They are sharing with us their Lyric Video for “Broken” which feels like a music video and if you take out the lyrics from the screen it is a music video, because most lyric videos key on the lyrics, but with this one it gives you movement behind it. The single “Broken” is a nice clean pop single that, if I remember right, is similar to One Republic’s style on “All the Right Moves”. Very catchy rhythm and clear vocals make this one fun to listen to. So know it’s your turn to take a listen to Lovely.The.Band’s lyric video for “Broken” – Richard:
