January 7, 2015

We all have those special people in our lives where we finish eachother’s sentences, or can sit quietly side by side and never feel alone, no awkward pauses or small talk. It is just a relationship that freely flows, completely automatic.  Well Brian McShane‘s new single captures those moments and emotion with Automatic With You. It is a colorful vibrant song and reminds me of a mix of Jason Mraz, Matt Nathanson and the fun side of early Barenaked Ladies.

12 Days of Vocalists

Day 4 of 12 Days of Vocalists is for Danny Worsnop

December 18, 2014

Here we are on Day 4 of our 12 Days of Vocalists and for this day, we highlight a very special vocalist, Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria, We Are Harlot and solo artist.  Danny is one of those of talented artists who can tackle any style of music and completely give it his own signature style.  He kicks ass with Asking Alexandria where he can deliver some of the best growls and screams in the industry and then completely rocks when he sings for We Are Harlot. With his solo work, you wouldn’t even believe it is the same person as he takes you through emotionally driven songs with passionate vocals.  I don’t think there is anything this man can’t sing and make it sound great.  His powerful vocals have been in high demand as he continues to be featured on many bands’ songs. His versatility can have him singing country one day, emotional ballads,  hitting some of the highest notes and he can transition right into the deep dark growls and screams. Amazing work!

December 17, 2014

  Day 3 of our 12 Days of Vocalists belongs to Gerard Way! There is no doubt that he has has an amazing voice which blew us away during his years with My Chemical Romance. His image adorned the walls of many teens as he has an amazing way of connecting through his music.  Earlier this year, he once again reigned in the spotlight with his solo career as he toured across the country to sold out venues in support of his album, Hesitant Alien.  We caught him in San Francisco at the legendary Fillmore and it was one of the highlights of all our concerts this year. Gerard‘s stage presence is that of a dapper crooner as he took the stages in his fashionable attire and girls literally swoon over him. Gerard has brought to life the Britpop genre into his music and his infectious energy and style just might be the one to revive that genre in the music scene today. He completely grabs your attention with his performance. He has such an intense [Read More]

December 16, 2014

Pop artist Deleasa has released a new music video for his song Good People as he  shakes things up while paying homage to his love of funk, pop and Motown. It is a great track that has a nostalgic seventies funk vibe that takes me back to spinning records in my garage with my older sisters. I would sit back and be their audience as the entertained me with music, giving me a good introduction to funk and soul with artists like the Commodores, Earth Wind & Fire, Spinners and so much more. Meanwhile, my older brothers would come in and take over with the Led Zeppelin and The Doors. No wonder I have such a love for all types of music!  This song from Deleasa takes me right back to that garage in the 70’s, check out the video here: ‘Deleasa released his first EP A Collection Of Sight & Sound Vol. 1 in December of 2012, showcasing his pop sensibility and love of organic musicality.
