When you hear the name Thoreau, you might be thinking of Henry David’s daguerreotype. Well, here to take a completely fresh spin on the name is Denver based Thoreau (irl Harry Myers) just dropped his single, “Like We Used To”, featuring Jeris. Thoreau has seen love from Trap Nation, and was even reposted by The Chainsmokers. An electronic beat paired with emotion-infused vocals makes for a solid song from Thoreau. Thoreau will also be releasing his debut EP later in 2018, which is looking to be quite well received. Teeming with of-the-moment vibes, “Like We Used To” fits right into the modern music scene. With lines like “What if I was being honest/For the first time in a long time”, “Like We Used To” hits the heart and ears in all the right ways. It encapsulates the desire for things to be as they once were in a relationship. One of the most interesting aspects of this song is that even though the subject matter is rather deep, it’s still danceable, and is infused with electronica. We’re looking forward to hearing more from Thoreau throughout 2018 — keep your ears and eyes open for more!

Brand new on the scene, EDM/electronica artist Very Yes has just dropped his debut single, “Collide” via Magic Magic Records. Creating a tantalizing soundscape throughout the track, “Collide” combines a multitude of heavy and gentle beats along with scattered ethereal vocals. Not much is known about the elusive new artist, but it is evident that Very Yes puts a lot of thought into his music, as well as having experience. Somewhat ODESZA-esque, the inter-genre track, “Collide” is the perfect title for the single. The track brings together a blend of the old and the new, providing the perfect song to vibe to. Not too chill, not too rave-like, “Collide” is the epitome of a happy medium song. We’re looking forward to hearing more from Very Yes (and possibly learning more about the mysterious artist).

Brooklyn-based soul/pop artist Corina Corina recently released her newest single, “BAR$” to the public as an official teaser to what she has planned for the rest of the year. Like her other music, “BAR$” is groundbreaking in the world of lyrically driven R&B, Pop and Hip-Hop music. Through her music, Corina Corina is able to relate authenticity and seamless synergy while addressing topics such as gender inequality, self-love and also resisting social norms. Her newest work on the “Hungover Music” album points to her life long connection and relationship to alcohol.
“Hungover Music” is scheduled to be released later in 2018 with “BAR$” as the opening track. The album is meant to feature music that unveils Corina Corina for who she is: a dedicated musician who has poured blood sweat and tears into a career that makes it all worth it. As a budding musician, Corina Corina has expressed that her day-job as a barista cannot level with the amount of excitement that comes with her night-life as a performer. However, this new release will be a tribute to the love/hate relationship that she has with her life behind the bar. After spending a considerable amount of time working during the day, it is not unexpected for that to become a major theme in the creation of her music. In the end, Corina Corina’s success is deeply rooted in her ability to write relatable songs that is supported by her soulful, rich tone and genuine lyrics.

If you’re into smooth listening, “take a pill” in the form of “Sea Change” by Rx Soul. The instrumentals are absolutely divine – slightly experimental but with this full, robust, almost-primal vibe to it all – setting the stage for the artist’s incredible vocals. Not only does Rx Soul seem to have an incredible taste for what works, but he’s completely vulnerable with his work, which gives us a deeper respect for it. “Sea Change” is actually about his own struggle, as he explains, “I wrote this song after realizing that much of my time was spent searching for the next high and relying on finding it. It’s an expression of my own reflection at the time, waking up to where I’d been.”

Their evocative insight is a signature of theirs which is apparent in the band’s past discography. The band aims to encourage and promote open-mindedness through their music. This is apparent through the song’s lyrics “you are free, don’t let them clip your wings” which repeat frequently throughout the song instilling the idea of free thinking into the minds of listeners.

While the band appears to be straight out of a 1970’s psychedelic acid flashback,
Krantz comes from the unlikely place of Nashville, TN. Best known for country, honkey tonk, and the grand ole opry,
Krantz has cranked out a college alternative rock song “Run away with me”.
With a musical structure similar to that of the Killers yet an experimental flavor of The Muse, you will find Krantz has added fun to the mix with “Run away with me.” It has a sweeping back and forth medium paced beat that is fused with group vocals during the chorus and a guitar lead that provides good traveling music that will make the vast nothing of the road seem more like a runway for liftoff.
While the song itself sounds as if clean-cut and serious college kids created it, you will understand the “fun” description once you see the branded panties for sale in their “Merch” or the furry pink jacket worn by their singer in promo pics. Yes, even seasoned adult musicians can captivate a listener without taking themselves too seriously and draw a crowd by making people wonder,”whats going on over there with them?”
Like a potato chip, one song just isn’t enough to get the real feel for Krantz. “Run away with me” will spark a curiosity that will lead you straight through their SoundCloud playlist of music.
“Run away with me” is a catchy pop-ish alternative rock song, with softly sung parts that lead the way to an impressive strong note being held out while the guitar line answers back like a conversation between friends. The lyrical content begs to leave the cold weather behind and head out to a warmer location. I can’t blame them. I am here in Arizona and it’s 80 degrees of wonderful in January while the weather in Nashville shows a high in the upper 40’s. For all of you suffering in the bitter cold, time to pack it up with this hit the road anthem “Run away with me.”

Who hasn’t wished to be loved back by someone who never will? Be prepared to find yourself in love with “Love Me Back” by J.D. King.
With an extensive knowledge and musically-attuned upbringing, Los Angeles’ J.D. King brings attention to detail into every aspect of his work. Coming February 2, J.D King’s single “Love Me Back” is not one to miss. Not only is “Love Me Back” a wonderful song, but King is also set to drop the accompanying music video, full of retro eye candy, and we’ve got the exclusive premiere.
“Love Me Back” encapsulates the pangs of unrequited love and doing everything possible to win the affections of a significant other. With nostalgic guitar that brings the listener back to the 70’s, King has really made a treat for the ears, with a video to match – the sort of song you instantly want on repeat. With equal parts effortlessness and evident skill, “Love Me Back” is testament to King’s musical expertise.
Says King of the track:
“Love Me Back” was a subconscious ditty I just came up with while waiting in a car. We recorded it live to tape and it sounded pretty great with just 4 tracks. The film represents the fool who looks to others for love and validation while not yet realizing that love truly comes from within. So, myself acting the fool in this case, gets quite a lickin’ from a carefree wildcat goddess for this misunderstanding. I sort of used a Buster Keaton persona for the acting part which I’ve always wanted to try. I hope you enjoy “Love Me Back”!
From the guitar solo to King’s soothing, clear vocals, we’re falling for “Love Me Back”, and we think you will too.
