IRONTOM hits the ground running with their single “The Minista”. I have to admit I’m not a big fan of the intro, but be patient. Once the intro is done the group hits you with their solid rock beat. “Minista” is a very kinetic song that I really enjoyed, it makes you want to just move your body with the beat, which I love in a song. The music video has some cool and interesting imagery and at the end….wow Charlie must like them. Watch the video that the band has provided through their YouTube channel and you will see what Charlie I mean. Plus I think you’ll just like “Minista: as well – Richard:
Oulipo’s Single “Blue Flames”
Oulipo’s, “Blue Flames” has a great beat that visually stimulates the listener. For me what I immediately went to in my head was a series or film in the vain of a Miami Vice. “Blue Flames” has definitely sparked my interest in Oulipo and will see what else they will be releasing. Take a listen to “Blue Flames” through SoundCloud – Richard:
Jennie Vee Gives us “Lips Like Sugar”
Here is Jennie Vee’s single from her upcoming EP Spying, “Lips Like Sugar”. I haven’t listened to the complete EP yet, but with this single Jennie blends her voice in with the instruments. I’m not sure if this is going to be ongoing or if the blending is just for this single. With this style it really had a feel like something the Bangles would have put out back in the day. Yes I made a Bangles reference, nothing wrong with that, I enjoyed the Bangles and I enjoyed Jennie’s “Lips Like Sugar”. There was also a nice mid-section where the guitar got a nice solo in which doesn’t always happen these days. Check out Jennie Vee’s music video for “Lips Like Sugar” from her YouTube channel – Richard:
