calan mai, “we’ve got love”

Out with an exciting new video, created to accompany one of his greatest singles to date, “We’ve Got Love,” is up and coming, rising talent, Calan Mai. Since the release of the single, fans all over the country have fallen for this infectious Australia-based artist. Due to this positive reaction, it comes as no surprise that the colorful visual spectacle that now accompanies this track is another success on Mai’s resume. At first glance, this music video encompasses a light hearted folk-vibe that fills the room with joy and light. However, as one considers the wonderful lyrics, there is a deeper meaning that speaks of unconditional love and family.

While listening to this beautifully light track, it is hard not to fall in love with the clean vocals and feeling of happiness that often surrounds work produced by Mai. In an article written in Glide, it described Mai’s track as “Distinct folk-pop… soaring vocals delivered with warmth and ease, intricate lyricism and detailed storytelling… the states will certainly be hearing more of his unique song-craft.” Without a doubt this Australian artist has a bright future ahead of him as he continues to team up with those who enhance his already natural and pure sound.

black moon tape drops “reset” video {premiere}

Black Moon Tape has just dropped their new video for “Reset”. Since 2016, the Belgian duo, made up of Will Z. and drummer Pierre Vancraenenbroeck, has been piecing together years of unfinished projects and unreleased concepts that Will Z. worked on as a teenager in the 90’s. The result was The Salvation of Morgane, the band’s debut album, which dropped in 2017, re-released in 2018 with more tracks, and an EP, Reset. Will Z. has previously been a part of Cosmic Trip Machine, as well as working as a solo artist, and is now joined by drummer Vancraenenbroeck to create Black Moon Tape. Though a Belgian band, Will Z. sings in English, and draws from a variety of genres to create Black Moon Tape’s own melding of psychedelic rock.

The pair now drops the video for “Reset”, created out of pixel art, taking the viewer on a psychedelic journey that explores the stress and pressure put on music to put out numbers in today’s world.

parker matthews, “hit and run”

parker matthews, “hit and run”

“Hit and Run” is the latest single from Parker Matthews who also just released a video for the track.  Before I watched the pop newcomer’s video, I had to just listen to the song itself. “Hit and Run” is a bubblegum pop infused track with, of course, the perfect voice (Parker Matthews) to complete the song.

“Start it one-by-one, cuz’ this ain’t no hit and run,” Parker sings, proclaiming a love song for a special someone.  With Parker’s high voice, catchy tune, and upbeat chorus, I soon found myself swaying by the end of the song.  The second time I listened to the song I viewed the video for “Hit and Run.”  Set in city night life and donned in an all black outfit (shades included), we see Parker walking up to an apartment for a house party.  With a crowd dancing and Parker singing, he shows off his fierce dance moves and has no problems “feeling himself,” which adds to that “pop-party” vibe that the song encompasses.

Pop Dust, who premiered the video described “Hit and Run” as “decorated with sticky drum loops and fluorescent synth makeup, embodies classic dance music but dispatches a crucial, heart-pounding message.”  Pop music, in its essence, is something you can dance to—but also be in your feelings about and “Hit and Run” definitely hits the nail on the head.

black satellite, “my girlfriend’s girlfriend”

black satellite, “my girlfriend’s girlfriend”

Musical duo Black Satellite – comprised of Larissa Vale and Kyle Hawken, who met in their hometown in Pennsylvania – is not only dynamic, but also diverse. Their beats and powerful vocals make them a force to be reckoned with, and they’re back with a new single titled “My Girlfriend’s Girlfriend”. The song is a tribute to Type O Negative’s late founder Peter Steele, and is an absolute adventure to listen to, as well as to watch in the dark, brooding new music video. “My Girlfriend’s Girlfriend” has a use of heavy guitars and drums, and is something you can get up and dance to while feeling carefree.

“My Girlfriend’s Girlfriend” honors the legacy of Peter Steele perfectly. The track is well worth the listen.

neverthere, “labs”

Self-proclaimed indie “space” rock duo Neverthere – comprised of Andrew Sclafani and Robert Ragosta – is hitting the ground running with the cinematic new music video for their single “Labs”. While raspy vocals encase the listener in this rich, indulgent sound, the video takes you through what looks to be a couple’s pretty insane romantic journey. What pulled the man in? What happened during the course of it all? What are they fighting about? And why did he just wake up on a beach alone?

Figure it all out during the course of the 3:36 video right now!

EP1 is out now. Keep up with Neverthere here. (If they’re ever there. HA!)

rachael cantu, “you’re the most”

rachael cantu, “you’re the most”

Rachael Cantu just released her refreshing video for the latest track “You’re the Most.” The video opens in a kitchen with a girl sitting in her kitchen pondering life. The scene then cuts to the sink where we see roses and a pink cake batter being mixed (baking a cake for a lover is my suspect). Cut to an adorable girl in pink, smiling while walking down the street. Then the cutest thing happens. Both parties meet in front of a rose bush. Sometimes staring at each other, sometimes hugging. This video is a very candid depiction of what it means to “start falling in love with someone.” There are always conflicting feelings of that point when one starts being vulnerable with someone which is why the lyrics state “I’m a loner, that I’ll own it–you’re the most I’ve ever wanted.”

sons of an illustrious father, “extraordinary rendition”

Sons of An Illustrious Father have been on a roll with their particular brand of music. Their latest song, “Extraordinary Rendition” is a prime example of their rise. Consisting of the very talented Ezra Miller, Lilah Larson, and Josh Aubin, Sons of an Illustrious Father have created a video that is creative and interesting from the very start. “Extraordinary Rendition” is a song that captivates the feeling of the unknown. The song shows what it is like to move out of the ordinary things that one is use to, and takes on a new journey, seeing things that they are not used to. The video shows the artists seeing things in a strange, unfamiliar way. “Extraordinary Rendition” is a work of art that shows off Sons of An Illustrious Father’s creativity as a band.

Keep up with Sons of An Illustrious Father here, and keep your eyes peeled for their new record in June!
