[Pop] VÉRITÉ – Echo

Posted by Bryn Carter - October 2, 2014

VÉRITÉ
Echo

The New York artist who captivated us with her sassy sound and intoxicating lyrics is back with the third single off her upcoming EP. VÉRITÉ’s single ‘Echo’, which also doubles as her debut EP title, is a captivating mix of pop with a twist of alternative rock. The song tells the story of the familiar echo of a love long gone and the constant reminders of him/her that remain. After listening to this song, I can hear the echo of her delicious voice and punchy melody lines. Cannot wait for her whole EP to be out, keep an eye and ear out for it.

Everyone loves a little mystery when it comes to an artist or group.
Let me introduce you to Wonder Wonder, a musical duo from London who are keeping pretty hush hush on details of themselves. What we do know is the group is made up of a man and a woman, they are releasing a new song every month for a year starting last month, and their second song ‘Shark’ is such a beautiful tale of love that it makes us feel close to tears. “My wave, my shark, my demon in the dark…are you going to be my love?” are just a few of the catchy and sophisticated lyrics this group embeds into your head. The soft melody mixed with their quietly beautiful voices give life and lust to their sound. Look for their next song to drop in a month.

Premiere: Espa
Your Ghost

New girl crush alert.
Besides having the hands down coolest hair I have ever seen, Espa has a voice that beckons to be heard. Sexy, seductive, deep, and stunning, this artist’s voice is one that will stay in your mind long after hearing her music. With the latest release off her debut EP ‘150th & Broadway’ due out later this year, her song ‘Ghost’ tells the haunting story of a lover whose ghost and image Espa cannot erase from her mind or her heart. Anyone who has ever felt this way will feel a certain connection with Espa’s lyrics, and her heartfelt plea to the ghost of this once love. Expect to hear so much more from this talented artist and her remarkable voice.

[TMN Video Premiere] Rigbi ft Miranda Sloan – A World Alone (Lorde Cover)

Posted by Bryn Carter - October 1, 2014

Well this is just a lovely little spin on Lorde’s ‘A World Alone’.
Today we have the pleasure of premiering the video for this wonderful single produced by the fabulous gentlemen of Rigbi with the vocals of the highly talented Miranda Sloane. Taking the popular song and putting their own spin on it, Rigbi keeps the melody light while the deep, seductive, and even haunting vocals of Sloane give the song a bit of a grown up twist.

On the song the band explained: “The song was recorded in our own studio. Brian implemented a mix of electronic and acoustic drums into his kit which adds a unique flare to the song along with Pat’s auxiliary percussion. Our approach was to keep the structure of the original song by Lorde (which we love) the same and just add a level of intensity.
It was a great experience using different layering of instruments. The original doesn’t really have a bass line other than the keyboard on the low end so this left room for Randy to write his own bass part within the song”.

Combining the band’s instrumental genius with Sloane’s tantalizing vocals makes for an addicting pop/rock sound that caters to the listeners of all ages. Make sure to turn the volume on this video to a nice high level and get carried away.

[Traveling In Space] Official-G – Outer Space

Official-G
Outer Space (feat Genevieve)

Buy

Sometimes, you just stumble upon a group or a song so raw and so new and so unbelievably good you can’t help but share it with everyone you know and then if you work for a music blog like myself, every reader you can possibly get to listen.
He calls himself Official-G and currently has 47 followers on Soundcloud and joined Facebook a good thirteen days ago. But producer Jimmy Ginnopoulos is no stranger to music and alongside Genevieve Schatz, he has recorded an EP in his own apartment in Brooklyn due out later this year. His debut single ‘Outer Space’ is a sexy and sophisticated song that has a certain air about it. With touches of saxophone, bass guitar, and the killer vocals of Genevieve, G shows us why he is a master of his trade. One thing is for sure, G won’t be a secret for much longer.

[Yes] LittleShoesBigVoice – Heaven Ain’t High

Heaven Ain't High

“When I’m with you, heaven ain’t high…”

Just take those lyrics sink in for a minute…good right? You have this picture in your head immediately of that one person, we all have them, who makes heaven just seem that much closer. LittleShoesBigVoice have taken that notion and written a beautiful and sensual piece about the way one feels when that one special person is around. The London duo, consisting of Jack Durtnall and Emily Harvey, have quickly become one of my favorite groups to listen to. They both have strong and intimate voices that blend like honey and a beehive. Accompanied by different tones like drums, guitars, and electronic beats, these two spin a web of delicious music ecstasy. It really is true, after listening to these two, you realize just how close heaven really is to us all.
