Upbeat and fresh is Simon D James’ newest and debut single release, “Dearest Lovely World.” Not only is he out to stun and amaze fa ns and critics, but he also is out to prove that there is a place for him in the music world. As he seeks to gain this title, he has worked hard to perform and produce at the level that not only matches, but exceeds that of his fellow artists around him.   The new release is safely in the realm that he wanted to fall in and there is no telling what he has in store for his fans.

However, this new release is not just words strung together held by misplaced beats and rhythm. No, this song is the product of soul searching journeys that stretch far beyond the expanse of the United States. While volunteering in the refugee campus of the Calais Jungle, James realized that, “regardless of color or creed we are all bound together by the common threads of love, loss and the need to find community in an ever more fractured world.” Streaming from this truth comes his debut song, “Dearest Lovely World,” an honest and emotion packed experience that has been paired with unmatched vocal skill.

the unlikely candidates, “oh my dear lord”

the unlikely candidates, “oh my dear lord”

Texas-based five-piece The Unlikely Candidates have just released their brand new music video for their single “Oh My Dear Lord”. The Unlikely Candidates – comprised of Kyle Morris’ vocals, Brent Carney on lead guitar with fellow guitarist Cole Male, Jared Hornbeek’s bass and Kevin Goddard on drums – are making waves as rockstars.The group says of the track: “Oh My Dear Lord thematically and sonically goes from sweeping wistful verses to explosive redemptive choruses. We wanted something that reflected that dramatically in a video. Water has that dynamic tension. It can be soft and ethereal or crushing and chaotic. This video capitalized off that contrast and made for a perfect pairing visually for ‘Oh My Dear Lord.”

Fans of Night Riots, Fall Out Boy, or Panic! At The Disco will likely enjoy this quintet’s work. The partially abstract video combines the classic performative cuts of a rock band with an indie edge and carefully crafted angles. The track, like all good rock songs, is one that gets you pumped and full of emotion. You’re going to want to watch the video for “Oh My Dear Lord” right away.

lisa/liza, barn coat

lisa/liza, barn coat

Portland-based Lisa/Liza is the indie psych-folk project of singer-songwriter and guitarist Liza Victoria, joined by Jonathan Downs and Devin Ivy. Having previously released several limited edition cassettes and CDs, as well as a debut 2016 LP Deserts of Youth, Lisa/Liza has now released a brand new EP in late February called Barn Coat.

The five-track EP highlights Lisa/Liza’s ability to capture deep emotion within ethereal, floating vocals and the carefully plucked acoustic guitar.

The track list for Barn Coat is:

  1. “Vanity Plate”: Liza starts off her EP with a gentle folk song, easing the listener into her style and soft, all-encompassing soundscape.
  2. “Encounters”: Next up on Barn Coat is a track that takes a more angsty spin on Liza’s sound, utilizing staccato and deeper guitar moments to carry the thematics of the song.
  3. “The Robins Song”: Capturing the throaty repetition of a bird’s call, Liza matches her guitar pace to the this idea. A track full of longing and wishes, “The Robins Song” is sure to capture your heart.
  4. “Windows Up”: If you’re needing a new song to roll your hand up and down out the window pretending you’re in a music video, look no further. With mellow guitar and emotional vocals, Liza makes the most of this track, highlighted with some unexpected twists.
  5. “BC”: Closing out Barn Coat is “BC”, a short (and by short we mean 1:36) track that carries the EP home and wraps it up nicely. Throughout this track, Liza utilizes her clear vocals to pair with her guitar in a combination that was just meant to be.

If you’re a fan of acoustic guitar and minimalist records, this is the EP for you. Be sure to check it out today.

Los Angeles-based Michael Goldman continues to entertain with his solo project NONA. His new track “Girls” and its accompanying video are evidence of his talents as a solo musician. A creative video, “Girls” is full of drawings of a man and a woman. The video goes through a span of a relationship and what a relationship goes through. A powerful message behind it, the video shows the power that some partners in relationships have over their partner’s body. Raw emotions that couples often deal with in their relationships come to the forefront in this visual.

Although a illustrated video, it shows the pain partners cause on one another and how they are connected. “Girls” is a fantastic video from start to finish due to the illustrations and its realism.
