M.A.E-Circles
Remember the first time you listened to Nightcall by Kavinsky in the movie Drive? M.A.E is able to generate a similar feeling with this latest single called Circles. The UK-based multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer has given us a boon from our rhythmic cycle, churning out a song that is your synthwave sweet treat at 2 am. You might be heading for a drive immediately after listening to this, but headphones are recommended for this ambience that surrounds you and transports you into a wormhole to another planet. The true inspiration of keeping the core of the music to live instruments really has a big impact. When the percussion starts in the circle, it's almost like you got sonic CPR with the percussion. The way it charges into the rock scene is unimaginable, yet done with such a buttery flow that you have no option but to be taken aback. I’m going in circles around this tune:
The Mess:Age- LIGHT OF BLUE “sugar ocean girl”
It would be a sin to break the momentum we got from the previous track. That's why brilliant The Mess:Age comes in next with his latest song, "LIGHT OF BLUE “sugar ocean girl." If anything screams indie California rock with respect to the time that it was made, it is this song. Glen Brandon " Ziggy” always knows how to extract the best from the musicians he has worked with while adding his own signature sound. LIGHT OF BLUE is a song that plays off his strength while giving us an unmistakably hooky groove that you feel like dancing to. From the guitar groove that gets you going to the punchy percussions that build in the background of the sound, you're looking at a cocktail of epic sonic proportions. A brilliant multi-instrumentalist, this artist shows you the moving power of music while composing from the heart:
Blake Baker-The Best
I never thought I could appreciate the texture of a legendary song that has been covered until I heard Blake Baker do it with "The Best." A brilliant cover of the Tina Turner classic. This one has an emotive spectrum that goes from a country vibe, owing to his acoustic guitar work and simple but powerful vocal performance. Rather than upstage what is already such an iconic rendition, this feels personal to Baker, in whatever spectrum of life he’s viewing this in. He switches seamlessly between falsetto and head voice. The layered guitar part becomes richer, more giving to his vocal rendition eventually. This is where Baker shines, not making it the R&B pop smash hit it is but an acoustic cover that respects the inspiration in a deeper, more altruistic way:
