Pam Ross - Cornflakes and Beer
Singer-songwriter talks about a healthy breakfast in the form of a catchy single, Cornflakes and Beer. Soaked in Joni Mitchell parallels, this amazing musician is giving you a mantra to enjoy with a percussive acoustic single. It has soft pianos accompanying it all, and the live instruments sound crisp for this one. Associative memories along with melting harmonies blend together in this perfect single. You’ll be singing along in no time, and it gives you the good old texture of gold and leather. Soft percussions help the song build into a powerful vocal performance for the ages. Listen to the song here:
nry - A World Collides
The band that brings all genres together, nry creates some memorable melodies that inspire. Raging punk energy, ballads as well as floating melodies are all in their album, and A World Collides is one of their catchiest. This is a ridiculously good number that would play on the radio that rides on that memorable riff. You’ll feel the song really help you get into that break free spirit, and the band has the kind of energy that transpires through their melody. Amping up the tempo of our playlist, this one is sure to bring you those Green Day kind of choruses!:
Stuart Lawrence - To the Limit
Stuart Lawrence creates a rock delight with his guitar heavy song, To the Limit. His contrasting vocals, different layered effects in the axe melodies and regulated tempo make for a song that will run in a loop, in and outside your mind. The lyrics are poetic, yet specific-and you’ll feel like you’re in an extension of his thoughts. It has an alt-rock cloud around it, and Frank Black is smiling somewhere if he hears the track. This man is engineering a song that is tailored to him, listen to the song here:
The Pink Dust - 1AM
Those midnight cravings are put to an end with The Pink Dust bringing a psychedelic ribbon in their song 1AM. It has a deep dive into the thoughts and troubles, the layers and complications of a mind that just won’t stop. Melodies fold and melt around the vocals-especially the ballooning effect that leads towards the chorus. So simple yet lethally effective, the song is the culmination of so many different layers, you feel hypnotised. The flowing ocean like layers have a crescendo towards the lyrics, and you’ll feel all is ok with the world. In a few words, a perfect close to an amazing list!
