We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
Lily Elise gives us her music video for her single “Suitcases”. Lily has one of those rich full voices that fits well with R&B. I would be interested in hearing her try other genres as well, but she definitely has it going with the R&B sound. Check out the “Suitcases” music video through her YouTube channel – Richard:
We got to listen to Alec Chamber’s’ single “Whole Again”, now we get to see his music video for the single. The single was already catchy and now we have a music video that has a nice romantic story flow to it. These are the type of music videos I enjoy rather than just see the performer. Great job. Check it out through Alec’s YouTube channel – Richard:
Janine and the Mixtape have got a nice groove on their cover of ‘You Got It Bad”. This is definitely mood music that you would have playing in the background during an evening. Check out “You Got It Bad” through SoundCloud – Richard
Alec Chambers has a great sounding single on his hands. The rhythms are there, the hooks are there, and he has a nice clear voice. The only thing that might hold some back is his Tenor voice. I like his voice, but it will be compared to Justin Bieber’s voice and other boy band type voices. This isn’t to say his voice is bad, because it isn’t, he just needs to be prepared for that happening. Take a listen to Alec’s “Whole Again” through SoundCloud and see what you think – Richard

Lily Elise has generated an EP entitled Taken. We have the music video to her first single from Taken, “Generator”, from her YouTube channel.
She starts out with really a nice smooth ballad that she carries well with her Alto sound. Her voice is really clear in the recording and strong enough to stand out over the instruments. For a first single she has a nice sound and I am interested in what else she has for us on her EP – Richard:
Julius releases his second single “OhhBaby”, his first being “Falling on Hard Times”. Listening to both singles you can feel the classical influence he has with his experience as a composer. In “OhhBaby” you can hear a “march’ tempo with the drums that you would hear in a classical composition. Both songs are different in style, so it seems he is experimenting with his sound and his voice. Each song sounds nice and for only his first two singles Julius will be a performer to watch. Check out his two singles from SoundCloud below – Richard:
Ghost Loft’s latest reflects the single’s title “Be Easy”. The rhythm and vocals are strong and sharp, but they flow smoothly or “Easy” on the listeners ears. Very nice sound and most will enjoy the single. It’s not a get up and dance song, just a nice flowing song. Check it out through SoundCloud – Richard
“Overdose” is the title track for Maudlin Strangers upcoming EP. This group has a smooth sound to them. The lead singer has a clear and strong voice that reaches over the instruments with little ease. The band has the restraint not to overpower the lead singer even though they have some strong beats going on. The song is very melodic and will almost hypnotize you with the flowing rhythm. Check out the music video on the groups YouTube channel – Richard:

Coming out of Brooklyn is the trio Little Daylight with their single “My Life”. “My Life” has a catchy rhythm that is infectious to me. The vocals are light and poppy, which isn’t a bad thing. I enjoy songs that have a light feel to them and just make you want to move your body. There is to much harshness in this world that it needs to be broken up with a little bit of fun. Little Daylight has that electro/pop feel in this song, that brings the fun. Hopefully, they will continue to have fun with their music, we all need that spot of sunlight. Take a look at their music video for “My Life” from their YouTube channel and let your body get to moving with Little Daylight – Richard:
Eilidh’s “Home” has a solid rock sound. Music is good and her vocals are strong enough that they aren’t overpowered in this song. Very nice, check out her video below from her YouTube channel – Richard:
