Songs of the Week 118: June 18 – June 24

geovarn#5. Geovarn – What You Like

soundcloud.com/geovarn

New Geovarn is usually a good time, and What You Like is another in a long line of catchy hip hop/rnb hybrid tracks in his repertoire.


mosss#4. Mosss – Here If You Want (Pale Blue)

soundcloud.com/mosssmusic

Laid back stoner rock. At least, that’s what I’d call this if I was in charge of creating music genres. Perfect track for chilling out at the beach. Those couple guitar chords will be stuck in your head for days.


pairs lain#3. Paris Lain – For You

soundcloud.com/parislain

The one thing that this blog does for me is force me to give tracks 5th, 6th, and 7th listens when I normally maybe wouldn’t. Often I find that I really come around to tracks after a week or two. I’m still warming up to this one, but there’s something there. A sexy pull, if you will.


nvdes#2. Nvdes – Turning Heads

soundcloud.com/nvdes

Nvdes sure know how to make hyperactive pop rock music. Every song it’s frenetic and yet somehow still completely danceable. Those melon boys have created quite a unique sound and manage to churn out hit after hit. Good times.


fairchild#1. Fairchild – So Long And Thank You

soundcloud.com/wearefairchild

Speaking of churning out hit after hit… Fairchild have completely won me over. Perhaps even my favorite band of 2017 (I’ve probably given that award out multiple times now this year, but I live in a world of short term memory bliss). These guys have what I like to call the Ritual factor – that is, they manage to maintain a consistent, identifiable sound but yet all their tracks are wonderfully different. Really hoping they take a trip to Vancouver, Canada sometime soon.

Songs of the Week 117: June 11 – June 17

violet sands#5. Violet Sands – Unusual

soundcloud.com/violetsands

Pretty, but yet somehow still rambunctious and noisy. It works, but honesty I do prefer the softer Violet Sands side.


myrne & popeska#4. Myrne & Popeska Feat. Emily Hendrix – Get It All

soundcloud.com/popeska // soundcloud.com/myrne

We move up one level louder here with Myrne & Popeska’s joint track Get It All. It again combines the soft with the cacophonous, and once again I much prefer the softer verses over than spastic chorus.


joey fatts#3. Joey Fatts Feat. JMSN – Still Down

soundcloud.com/joeyfatts

Good track is good. Adding JMSN to any track just makes it better. Love the flow of Still Down. Haven’t yet given a listen to the rest of Joey’s recent release I’ll Call You Tomorrow 2, but based on this track I have high expectations.


Litany#2. Litany – Bedroom

soundcloud.com/litanymusic

This track is painfully cute. It was a tough call this week as this could easily have been a #1 type track. Not totally digging the steel drum thing going on in the chorus. It’s growing on me, but I still think I might have liked this even more without it.


koni#1. Koni Feat. Rakan – LA Love

soundcloud.com/koni_music

The first few times I heard this track it really did nothing for me. But somehow, it kept coming across whatever playlist I was listening to… and then just a day or two ago it suddenly clicked. The combination of the vocals, the summer vibe and the incredibly sing-able hooks have me playing this on repeat now.
