Summer Dennis and Rhymes Single “The Party”

“The Party” from Summer Dennis and Rhymes is like taking a time machine back to the 1970’s. It has the Disco/Soul flavor that everyone loved and that I still enjoy. The feeling that this single instills is getting on the dance floor and grooving with your partner with the smooth tones that are being coaxed from the instruments to the vocals that are being laid down.

So grab your partner and start that groove with the music video for “The Party” through their YouTube channel. Thanks to Meijin Bruttomesso of Effective Immediately PR for sharing this track to ComicPop and our listeners.

Sena Kana’s Debut Single “Up”

Sena Kana is hitting it out of the park with her debut single “Up”. The single also feature Wiz Khalifa and one of my favs Sheppard. “Up” has a great dance vibe to it and you can understand why if you have ever listened to anything by Sheppard. It starts out with a simple beat and Sheppard bringing in the first verse, then the next verse hits and Sena comes in with Sheppard and the beat jumps up to a upbeat rhythm through the chorus. Sena’s single has an infectious beat that gets the body moving towards the latter part of the song Wiz Khalifa comes in strong with his rap. It all blends together to form a great song that I really enjoy.

Thanks to Nadia Ali and Amanda Charney of BlackPanda PR for allowing ComicPop to share Sena Kana’s single with our listeners. Enjoy everyone – Richard
