CAITLIN CANTY – ” Get Up “
Posted: December 12, 2014 in MUSICTags: Caitlin Canty, Reckless Skyline, singer songwriter
“Get Up” is the first single off of what will be Caitlin Canty’s next album. It was released several months ago, but I am just now catching up on music and falling for her raspy alto. It’s such an intoxicating voice. The comparison I would use is Stevie Nicks–not for the vocals themselves, but for the mystical vibes that emanate from them.
The upcoming album, “Reckless Skyline”, is produced by Jeffrey Foucault and this song at the very least shows the influence. In fact, she will be supporting Jeffrey Foucault on his European tour and then will be touring along the East Coast herself in the new year. The album will be released in January 2015.
LYDIA LOVELESS – ” Somewhere Else “
Posted: December 12, 2014 in MUSICTags: Americana, columbus, Lydia Loveless, singer songwriter, Somewhere Else
Lydia Loveless only ever looks over her shoulder when the wind’s in her face and she needs to spit. And she probably needs to. Desire lodges in her chest like a phlegm-clot; her mucosal tone earns those Stevie Nicks comparisons you’ve maybe seen. But you’ve got to imagine Stevie stripped of her scarves and witchery by a resentful coven, abandoned in Columbus, Ohio, with nothing to fall back on but her innate grit, developing the array of vocal slurs, catches, yawps, and leaps that a woman starting out with no expectations needs once she realizes she wants the world. And if that doesn’t work out, and Loveless has to retreat defeated to her dumpy hometown? “I’ll find a rich man’s house and I’ll burn it down.” Which come to think of it, doesn’t really sound all that unreasonable.
Loveless’s powerful and assured vocals set against a wall of bristling guitars make for a potent combination. “Somewhere Else” is a rock and roll tour-de-force, filled with songs that strike the perfect blend of vulnerability and take no shit attitude, Ive included a solo piece here as well

Posted: December 12, 2014 in MUSICTags: Billie Marten, Coppafeel, Ripon, singer songwriter, Yorkshire
A cover of ‘Winter Song’ by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson released for Coppafeel’s christmas compilation available through Bandcamp. At only fourteen-years of age, graceful singer-songwriter Billie Marten was already beginning to fuse mature yet graceful vocals with stunning acoustic arrangements. Having posted video’s on YouTube for 2 years of originals, hauntingly performed on acoustic guitar, Billie has now accumulated hundreds of thousands of views whilst being lavished with complimentary comments. In just 2-years, Billie’s writing ability has evolved at a bewildering pace.
Her debut EP Ribbon is accompanied by other musicians, including a string quartet yet her voice continues to tenderly bewitch. Ribbon was written over the past 9 months when Billie began travelling between London and her hometown Ripon, North Yorkshire to discuss a musical career. The prevailing theme explores a teenagers venture into a business and big city.

LADY LAMB the BEEKEEPER – ” Billions Of Eyes “
Posted: December 12, 2014 in MUSICTags: Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, Maine, singer songwriter
Lady Lamb The Beekeeper is the recording project of Maine-based singer-songwriter Aly Spaltro. She’s gearing up to release her sophomore album “After” next year, and has led things off with a hell of an uplifting lead single. “Billions Of Eyes” soars high, making jangly folk-pop into something anthemic. The lyrics are especially something great, balancing between idiosyncratic and poignant: “And I could tell the story of how/ My great grandmothers sister was deemed a saint/ How they exhumed her body after years of being buried, and they found she hadn’t even begun to sully/ So they moved her again, straight into the Vatican.” .

PERFUME GENIUS – ” Queen “
Posted: December 10, 2014 in MUSICTags: Mike Hadreas, Perfume Genius, singer songwriter, The Letterman Show, Too Bright
“Too Bright” is a strident and bold statement from an artist who has finally undone the knot of his past. It won’t be the record which brings him mainstream success but it will be the record that frees him from the pigeonholing of his bruised and broken singer-songwriter image.”
Here is the same song as performed on The Letterman Show,
