Haley Pharo’s Single “Prisoner”

musehaley

I really enjoyed the brief intro of “Prisoner” but I don’t think the feeling stayed for the whole song. It was a little too 90’s R&B for me. Neither the music nor Haley Pharo were very strong and clear. I like it when one or the other is strong so that the song doesn’t end up sounding mushy. I do get where Pharo is trying to go though and she’s on the right track. I liked the lighter melodies going along with a substantial bass, it just needs to be less muggy. Her music has a good beat that people will move to, as long as she keeps going in the direction I hope she is, she’ll do great.

– April B.

This is were everyone can see that music hits people differently.  I enjoyed “Prisoner” and look forward to hearing more from Haley.  However, I am a Child of the ’80s/’90’s, which falls within what April was talking about. Also to me Haley’s voice – not style reminds me of Debbie Gibson’s, but that’s just me.  – Richard

The music video is below so you can check Haley Pharo out yourself.  It comes to us from “Haley Pharo” YouTube channel:

MOXXI’s Single “Ransom”

museMOXXI

MOXXI is a very unique individual, and am I the only one that thinks of YouTube’s Boxxy whenever you say her name? lol Anyways, I thought MOXXI’s song “Ransom” was overall very good. Usually I’m not a fan of electronic music but because this song had a lower sound to it I really enjoyed it. MOXXI herself I was torn about; I didn’t mind her voice not being as clear because the music was clear and she sang in a comfortable register but I couldn’t understand her words. The vibe for “Ransom” was also a little confusing and I didn’t enjoy it very much. I couldn’t make sense of the video but I think if I understood MOXXI’s words it would make more sense.

– April B.

This song is definitely one you will hear at a nightclub.  MOXXI, I believe is intentionally blending her voice with the music.  It doesn’t sound bad, but it does make it hard to hear the lyrics as April commented on. – Richard

The video for “Ransom” is for limited distribution so we can’t show it here, but if you want to listen to the song and watch the music video you can find it on YouTube.

Kate Tucker and the Sons of Sweden Single “Blue Hotel”

museKate Tucker1

Usually I don’t like higher pitched female vocals, but in Kate Tucker and the Sons of Sweden’s case I really liked it. Kate was softer but she wasn’t wispy. There’s a big difference between singing higher with breath control than without and Kate proves that. She had enough support and strength behind her sound to work with the rest of the music instead of getting overpowered by it. Speaking of, I loved the groove from the instrumentals. The more rock feel gave their sound just the right amount of edge to really stand out in a good way. From the very beginning I was really into the music. Their name is a little long for me but that’s a minor detail, I know plenty of bands that have longer names that have gone big. This is another great band to keep your eye on.

– April B.

Young Rising Sons single “King of the World”

museyoung sons

Young Rising Sons is my type of music! From their look to their sound everyone appeals to my tastes artistically. I always talk about wanting crisper vocals but sometimes the opposite works just as good-if not better. Having crisper instrumentals with a more static sound for vocals is brilliant and makes the music even more interesting. The lyrics are amazing, poetic and truthful. The instrumentals also stand on their own and keep the song moving and the listener interested because they aren’t too repetitive. Young Rising Sons is great and I think I just found my back to school obsession.

-April B.

Check out Young Rising Sons’ music video for “King of the World” from their YouTube Channel.  Its a great upbeat song:

Immigrant Union’s single “I Can’t Return”

museimmigrant union

Immigrant Union has figured out the right amount of soft and hard sounds. The mellower, soft rock feel of the music is balanced with the sharp sounds of the vocals and backup singers. Even though the vocals aren’t crisp, compared to the rest of the music they sound crisp. It’s very hard to find the right balance when going into the retro, soft rock genre and Immigrant Union has figured it out. The only thing I have to pick out is that the music video is a little too retro. I loved the idea they were going for but it didn’t come off as a naturally retro video. It came off more as a 21st Century band trying too hard to capture a 20th Century look.

-April B.
