Iceland’s Vok Gives us another Single “I’ll Wait for You”

Vok has given us a nice ballad to listen to with “Eg bio pin” (I’ll Wait for You). This is a very emotional and drawn out song. It has a little techno feel with slow jass mixed in for an interesting mix. The vocals are really clear, but don’t over power the music. If you are interested in exploring new music from other areas of our world check Vok out and you can listen to “I’ll Wait for You” here through SoundCloud – Richard:

“Sorry for Not Being Sorry” Dekoder Remix

I’m usually not a fan of remixes but Dekoder’s remix of Haley Pharo’s single “Sorry For Not Being Sorry” is really good. Check it out through SoundCloud below, I think it will make your head bob to the music – Richard:

Vok’s Latest Single “Vio Vokum”

Strange was the first word that popped into my head when I heard Vök’s new single. I was immediately interested when the song started and got into the instrumentals right away. It was very flowy and smooth which reminded me of The Neighborhood. Hearing sounds that would normally clash work together so well is always amazing to hear. My only problem is the vocalist. I didn’t mind her singing in a foreign language because if she puts her emotions into the song I’ll still understand what she’s saying. I just couldn’t get passed how mellow it sounded. The song as a whole was very much like water and I needed a rock to anchor myself. In this case the vocals are supposed to be my rock but they were just another current.

-April B.

Sariah’s Latest Single “Aware, Alive, Awake”

This is definitely what I thought I would listen to. Sariah’s name is very sophisticated, along with her image and it was strange hearing a sound that didn’t match that. Instead of getting a smoker’s lounge feel like I thought, I got a very poppy sound. It seems almost too immature for Sariah and doesn’t fit her. I was intrigued during the intro because I thought she was going to put an electro spin on classical or older music but that wasn’t the case. Sariah has a great voice and I feel like it’s better suited for standards or other older, timeless genres.

-April B.

MOXXI’s “From Here to Oblivion”

I honestly don’t know what to say about Moxxi but I’m gonna try anyways. First off the intro was cool but too muddled, if it was the exact same intro but cleaner I would’ve gotten into the song a lot more. I was taken by surprise when Moxxi started singing. I wasn’t expecting to hear some lyrics from another song in this one or the pop feel. But I can say that the familiarity of the lyrics from a different song helped me get into the song and the chorus was also very nice. It’s got a strong driving tempo and doesn’t slow down. The only part it really lost me was the brief time when it was slowed down and the very end. The end felt kindle jangly and it didn’t fit right. For the most part, however, I did enjoy Moxxi and I think any pop/retro fans will as well.
