Alex the Astronaut – “Half of 21st Street”

March 24, 2016

Aussie native turned temporary New York transplant, Alex the Astronaut, released her first single close to a month ago, and it’s an indie-pop gem. Alex is a passionate story teller, and “Half of 21st Street” is a testament to her skills. The song is a love story (as half of songs are), of two individuals that start innocent and develop into something that is real.  If indie-pop Regina Spektor with an Australian accent sounds appealing, then you’ll be into Alex the Astronaut. Check out “Half of 21st Street” below.

David Sanya & EhCee – “Liquid Love”

March 23, 2016

David Sanya and EhCee’s “Liquid Love” is a song that’s ready to be featured in a commercial. The track from the Toronto-based artists has that distinct sound to it, one that’d bring your attention to the tv to watch an outfit of ethnically diverse 20-somethings happily sipping on some Sprite. That’s a likely situation. EhCee’s fantastic pop-R&B chorus jumps out with every listen. Distinct and catchy; it’s nearly anthemic. David Sanya’s production plods and pops when needed, echoing melodies and providing some clever bubbling throughout. EhCee’s voice has a lot of single-power, and Sanya’s sphere of influence allows for him to create all sorts of future R&B sounds in his production. Listen to “Liquid Love” below.
