Check out Brian McShane’s new single, Automatic With You

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. Check it out here: [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/181707112″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /] Brian has an inviting voice that carries such honesty and emotion with his song.

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!

Check out new song Colors from Genevieve and get hooked on the infectious new track!

December 11, 2014

I am looking out the blurry rain tinted hinted windows as the dark skies are set to deliver an intense storm to the Bay Area but inside the warmth of my office, it is nothing but sunshine. I am listening to the new song from Genevieve (formerly of Company of Thieves) and it is absolutely addictive! The catchy alternative pop style song showcases the vocal talent of Genevieve in a fun and bubbly way. The passion she brings to her music reminds me of the first time I heard Alanis Morrisette. There is just this bright charismatic nature that Genevieve has and it is captivating. When you listen to Colors it is as if you have put on your rose colored glasses and the world just seems brighter and vibrant.
