Imperfect Fifth is largely located in the midwest. So, we kind of get the brunt of the weather, to say the least. It should be all showers and sunshine, and we went from weather in the 30s this weekend to 83 today. Who even knows what’s going to happen? I guess the only reliable thing this time of year is new music and incredible new music videos, that truly seem to be popping up like flowers everywhere! So take a break from the allergies and any stress to get lost in our favorite new video releases of the month.
(Check back all month for more additions!)

Today, indelible songstress Haley Reinhart releases her latest collection of songs, a full-length titled Lo-Fi Soul. Full of layered, beautiful instrumentals, the entirety of the album is packed to the brim with Reinhart’s soulful, glittering vocals that take you back in time with each new breath, starting with “Deep Water” and leading you all the way through to the last chords of thirteenth track “Baby Doll”. Second track “Oh Damn” slows things down a bit after its predecessor ends, addressing the protagonist’s want to find their one and only. The title track speeds it up a bit more, adding a bit more edge to the collection. “Don’t Know How to Love You” is true blues, both the guitar and the vocals equally as heart-wrenching.
Both “Strange World” and “Shook” are love songs in their own right, both addressing the world in curious and insightful ways, slightly less attractive and way more quirky than other love songs. And while “Crack the Code” is a little more introspective and pondering, while “Lay It Down” sings of a past love, and leaves us questioning what went wrong. “Honey, There’s the Door” brings that sass back, a truly refreshing song of note, and that sass carries right on into “Broken Record”, making these two our favorite tracks on the release.
But she doesn’t stop impressing there. If you listen through to “Some Way Some How”, you will experience a truly breathtaking ballad, not unlike other prior releases of hers. I pity the fool she sings about in “How Dare You”, as karma has clearly been assessed in that situation. And she rounds everything out so gracefully with last track ‘Baby Doll”, the beginning giving us hints of Mariah Carey goodness with Reinhart’s impressive vocal range. But don’t just take our word for it. Enjoy!

On April 17th, The Happy Fits made a phenomenal appearance at The Rino in Kansas City. Their original support was sick, so the endlessly talented Jake Wells joined to perform solo before their set. The night was absolute magic, and we have some photos to prove it.

Need to forget about your worries? We’ve got just the song for you. Molly Moore has just released her brand new track, “No Stress”, which appears on her upcoming EP, Third Eye High. The L.A. singer-songwriter has worked as a solo artist, a member of Cosmos & Creature, and has written for the likes of Lea Michele, EXO, and Jesse McCartney. Moore’s new track is just as the title suggests: easygoing, stress-free, and laid back. Splashes of electronica on a pop canvas make for a delightfully fun yet relatable track.
Says Moore: “Self reflection can be hard, especially in a time when everyone wants to filter the best part of their story/image forward, but I try and find power in confronting the less comfortable things. Dealing with human emotions isn’t always easy but I do think that we innately want to help each other. I want my music to leave people with hope amidst the ‘reality’ we are faced with.”
Moore does a fantastic job of appealing to the tension that we all face in daily life, providing a temporary escape with “No Stress”.
