Mia LJ gives our listeners the chance to check out her music video for her single “This Livin”. Mia has a nice Alto range voice that comes through with just a bit of smokiness, really nice. “This Livin” is one of those single’s that many people can relate to. The chorus starts with the lyrics “Never want to get old”, which applies to the younger crowd, but us older listeners are saying the same thing we just don’t verbalize it as much. And of course everyone just wants to “have fun running around”. The single itself is the title track from her This Livin LP. The music video has high film quality and the director edited it together very nicely. The video is just dark enough to still be edgy, but still light enough for anyone to enjoy. Here’s Mia LJ’s music video for her single “This Livin” through her YouTube channel – Richard:

Brad Byrd’s Music Video for “Highest Mountain”
Brad Byrd has that mid-range baritone voice that is easy to listen to. With “Highest Mountain” he is working that mix of pop/country, with the pop sound being the most prominent style. It kind of falls in between genres like John Denver’s music did, it’s pop but not quite pop and it’s country but not quite country. For me this style works and I enjoyed the single with the instrumentals and vocals working really well together to fit Brad’s voice. Brad’s music has been feature on The New Girl, Happy Endings, American Housewife, Ben & Kate, and Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The music video fits the single with it taking place on an actual mountain. It is also interesting that the director used a drone in the mountain’s to get the shots for the video. Here’s Brad Byrd’s music video “Highest Mountain” from his album by the same name – Richard:
Bryan Stave’s Single “Monday Song”
“Monday Song” is an infectious song. Bryan Stave hit’s it out of the park on this one for me. The song is fun and upbeat, with lyrics that are just as fun to listen to. “Monday Song” is one I can listen to over and over again and not get tired of it, to much fun! If this song doesn’t get your head to bobbin’ and your foot to tappin’ I don’t know what will. Even though I’m a day off on when I’m posting this have a listen to Bryan Stave’s single “Monday Song” and brighten up your day with some fun music. Here it is through SoundCloud – Richard:
Kyle Motsinger’s Music Video for “Midwest Boy”
Kyle Motsinger, with his single “Midwest Boy”, has developed a piece that mixes a couple of time periods. At the beginning of the single the piano gives it a 1920’s feel and Kyle cements that feeling in the music video. The first minute, eight second of the music video feels like a 1920’s movie. After the minute – eight mark the music and video shift into a modern day setting and hits a pop beat that mixes 1970’s and current trends…you can definitely pick up on his theatrical background with this single. I’m sure Kyle is probably pulling from personal past, but his appearance and friendly face makes it hard for him to pull of a hard ridden Midwest boy. It’s a fun single that once it starts clipping along and with the upbeat feel I enjoyed it and hope he carries that upbeat feeling into his other music. Here’s the music video for “Midwest Boy” from Kyle Motsinger’s YouTube channel and then be sure to check out his album Far Away, available June 9, from your digital vendor of choice – Richard:
Seven Day Sleep’s Music Video “Red Lipstick Murders”
Seven Day Sleep isn’t wanting our listeners to sleep. They want you to check out their music video for their single “Red Lipstick Murders”. The leads vocals are really crisp and clear and when the single starts the simple keystrokes sound eerie and then the heavy sound hits fast to lead into the verse which is more of a pop influence and then they band takes you into the metal sound with the chorus. I really love the beat of this single and the different things that they bring into it. Seven Day Sleep’s style for this single appeals to me and I think others will enjoy it as well. The music video they have with the single is fun to watch as well. All the way around a nicely packaged single. Their EP A Home For Disgusting Fairies is due out on June 2 so keep an eye out on your digital vendors of choice. Until then enjoy Seven Day Sleep’s music video for “Red Lipstick Murders” – Richard:
Farrah Mechael’s Single “Be Here”
Farrah Mechael is sharing with our listeners her latest single “Be Here”, from her Farrah Please EP. “Be Here” sets squarely in the pop arena and with some of the choices of music style, with the instrumentals, it has an international feel. This international feel fits well since the lyrics mention ‘traveling around the world’. The single asks if someone’s significant other will be there if paths one takes has them traveling. You would think this would be a slow single, however the instrumentals and Farrah’s vocals give it that popping vibe. Here’s Farrah Mechael’s “Be Here” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Take some time and enjoy Marcus Paul James’ “Living in Dreams” through SoundCloud – 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:
