parker’s “high” will leave you breathless

parker’s “high” will leave you breathless

Parker’s new single is much deeper than the title suggests.  The track starts off slow and psychedelic, but that’s just the buildup for Parker’s breathy vocals.  Yes, the artist mentions talk of drinking and smoking, but she craves something deeper than that.  With lyrics like “…oh I’m getting tired, oh we’re getting tired,” and “searching for a different kind of high” suggests that tangible vices will no longer do for her.  Perhaps, Parker is seeking a spiritual  or personal high.  Either way, Parker’s yearning new single is definitely worth the listen.

great news, “you’re mine”

great news, “you’re mine”

Norwegian natives Great News, recently released their new LP Wonderfault which attributes to “the imperfect being something wonderful” say the band.  Wonderfault brought us their latest single “You’re Mine.”  The track starts off upbeat in an reminiscent 80’s fashion.  Not only are the instrumentals amazing but the lyric “Oh I’m in your mind, controlling the way you see” had me smiling mischievously from cheek to cheek. 

You’re Mine” is tilting on the border of “oh that’s so sweet, he really likes them!” and “I have you and I want you.”  The single is nothing but shy, and I definitely recommend it, especially when your latest infatuation drops into your lap.

sam himself is not a “nobody”

Following the success of his first EP, Songs in D, Sam Himself has dropped his new single, “Nobody”, which will appear on his forthcoming sophomore EP. Though born in Switzerland, Sam Himself is now based in New York City, and wrote “Nobody” about his experiences in a big city that can easily swallow you up. Utilizing the very on-trend tactic of genre-mixing, Sam scores a great track with “Nobody” on many levels. While on the surface level it’s a bluesy rock song, “Nobody” also contains nods to modern synth use and nostalgic crooning vocals.

Sam says of the single: “The best and worst part about moving to New York City is realizing that nobody has been waiting for you here. The apple is plenty big without you, and unless you come up with a pretty good reason, New York doesn’t care. ‘Nobody’ is about that crushing, eye-opening and ultimately liberating experience.”

If you’re as much in love with “Nobody” as we are, make sure to check out more by Sam Himself and keep an eye out for his upcoming EP!
