Alexander Howard Releasing His Single “Mt Rushmore” On July 4th Just In Time To Celebrate Fun And Freedom
“I wrote ‘Mount Rushmore’ because I wanted to write a song about having fun…which is actually easier said than done! Songwriting comes pretty naturally when you’re in an introspective mood or just having one of those days, but when you’re out having a good time with you friends you’re usually much too busy having fun to take a minute and write! That said, ‘Mount Rushmore’ was about as much fun as I’ve had writing and recording a song. The tune loosely follows our escapades on a given night in a certain Nevada gambling town, with the title coming from us all trying to keep a “stone face” for a squad photo right after downing some $3 shots of nameless whiskey. Not my strong suit…pretty sure I winced If this song comes on in a bar and gets people to have a drink/take an embarrassing photo with their friends, then my work here is done…”
The inspiration behind Alexander Howard’s solo debut came out of a songwriting trip to Los Angeles. During a late night Hollywood session, the singer and multi-instrumentalist dialed in on writing artful Pop, crafting guitars, synth, and soulful hooks.
Returning to his hometown of New York, he immediately set to work honing his voice and sound that would become his first solo efforts with Robopop, the masterminds behind Lana Del Ray’s “Video Games” and Maroon 5’s “Payphone.”
Written and co-produced by Howard, the songs take inspiration from all walks of pop, ranging from sixties Motown to Top40 indie pop. Woven together by Howard’s pop rock vocals, his thematic songwriting and a sense of style all is own, this diverse offering is one of the most relevant NYC pop debuts in the current landscape.
Off-stage and outside the recording studio, Howard is a highly involved in New York’s fashion community and has been featured in various society and editorial features in the New York Times and notable fashion blogs.

LightBody Sound could easily become the best indie musical husband-wife duo of the year. It all started when they met on a balmy South Texas night, more specifically, at The Last Concert Cafe. What makes them special and original is that Elizabeth has a background as an opera singer, while Chris shines as a troubadour.
Certainly, it’s worth listening to their self-titled debut album. Nothing can compare with the amalgam of Pop, Folk, Rock, and Electronica sounds that take shape in this material. Although it may seem unbelievable, this interesting project started as a series of instrumentals recorded in 2015. Little by little, the 10 tracks were magically completed. On the one hand, their interaction offers dynamism, while on the other, the storytelling lyrics are synonymous with variety and fantasy. What else could you ask for? Press play below and get your own conclusions.

Karma’s Tea is one of those bands that leave you speechless. Without a doubt, Mike Desroches and Mystina will soon become a point of reference for jazzy pop fans. Despite the vintage-esque vibes, they use contemporary instrumentations and sultry sounds on “What Do You Do”. This is just the first of a series of amazing tunes, which features Nat Townsley (drums), Ryan Waters (guitar), and the legendary bassman Lenny Rocillo. All of them have collaborated with famous artists in the mainstream world. Most importantly, their mission is to spread positivity through melodies and lyrics. In this case, “What Do You Do” hits the right groove with seducing vocals, making it a whole masterpiece. A good song to sip wine to while you enjoy a delicious candle-light dinner.

Seattle-based artist RX has vocals that really stand out. Likewise, his acoustic-tinged Indie-Pop songs are pleasing to the ears. Influenced by Eric Clapton, John Mayer, and James Bay, he has gained notability at multiple bars and wineries. Without a doubt, some of the best moments of his career include performing the national anthem, at NFL games and sharing the stage with big talents like Train, Andy Grammer, and Michael Franti.
Most importantly, he’s a good-hearted artist. Currently, RX is raising funds for musicians who have lost wages due to COVID-19. You can support this solitary effort by donating money via Paypal or Venmo while you watch his new Livestream series, “Work From Home.” Basically, the show takes place every Friday evening at his recording studio (a revamped garage). He gives the opportunity to local artists to showcase their music so that viewers can send tips and interact with them on Facebook and Twitch. Interviews are also part of the show.
RX’s upcoming highly anticipated single, “Reckless (ft. Linzy Collins),” will be released next month. Get more info below.

MATD Take Inspiration From Alice In Wonderland On Their New Song
Creatively, MATD found inspiration in Lewis Carroll’s most popular novel, Alice In Wonderland. The Pop duo composed of Marcos Kuusjärvi and Veli Eronen pays tribute to Tim Burton and Johnny Depp who were key in the development of the 2010 fantasy movie.

Hailing from Torremolinos, Spain, these artists started their musical journey in 2009 and they show no signs of stopping.
Produced by Fred Parra, this fresh tune entitled “Who The Fuck Is Alice” is a collaboration with singer Hana Muftic. Best of all, she lays her mesmerizing vocals over rolling hi-hats, pounding drums, and epic synths like never before. Moreover, the lyric video plays with listener’s imagination as it features hidden meanings that are magically intertwined with the fairy tale. Personally, I appreciate the level of originality behind MATD’s efforts. Winners do things differently and also they think outside the box. Definitely, their project meets all the requirements.

Born again
I heard all you talk about me
Adeline
Abilene
Something not sure about her name
O ba bara Bumba bara bum bam
This a not a school to teach how you go down
Feel it

Party processing
Not yet
Facciamo l’amore
Mi fai eccitare
Voglio farlo
Voglio passare il resto della mia
la donna loka loka
