Capitalizing on the recent zombie craze, singer/songwriter Barry Keenan released a deliciously ridiculous music video poking fun at the zombie apocalypse trope for his single "UUU Yeah U", an adrenaline pumping rock song with strong riffs and pounding beats. The music video follows Keenan as he relentlessly texts to a girl of his affections, completely oblivious to the zombies and mayhem around him. Shots of zombies and news reports on the impending apocalypse are interpolated in between shots of Keenan tapping cluelessly on his phone. Amidst the chaos, the band performs while fighting off zombie hordes. The insanity climaxes at the song's break, with the zombies clapping and dancing to the music and the band fighting them off with their fire-spitting instruments. High-octave, crazy, and cheeky in the best way, Keenan's MV is great, hilarious fun.
NYC-based alternative, pop rock band Frealane released their debut music video "Never Too Late" recently through their Youtube channel 1frealane to immediate critical and commercial attention. The irresistibly powerful, catchy song launches the new band onto the spotlight in a spectacular way. The music video serves as the classic introduction to an up and coming rock band ready to burst into the scene. With low, close-up shots of each band member rocking out in their respective instrument, the video is reminiscent of classic indie rock MVs we see so little of today. Dressed in gorgeous dresses and seductive make-up, the lead singer entices the viewer with her grace and confidence. The video is primarily shot in two locations, each showcasing a different mood. A juxtaposition of the darker, gothic environment with the lighter, more innocent look can be seen. Carrying a tinge of alternative metal, the single is a wonderful amalgam of alternative and hard rock. The lead singer's soulful, laid back vocals demonstrates range and the ability to appear both strong and servered. Frealane is pop/rock trio consisting of Andrea Dee on keyboards and vocal, Coque on lead guitar, and Brian Tully on bass. The band members hail from different corners of the world, with each bringing a different flavor to their music. The band has performed in popular venues like the Bitter End for the past year and quickly gained prominence in the music scene.
JMWest signed singer JUSTICE recently released the music video to her reggae-inspired debut hit "By My Side" via Youtube. The single itself showcases JUSTICE's impressive vocal range and talent. On top the electric mix of steady beats, light guitar riffs bring out the singer's warm, wholesome vocals. As JUSTICE sings, the reggae beats are smoothly infused with electronic sounds to create a catchy pop tune. To truly capture the reggae roots of the single, the music video demonstrates simplicity and mobility, with little static movements. Like JUSTICE, the camera is always moving in a slow, but steady pace, hinting at the song's relaxed but extremely danceable sound. Simple but elegant, "Be My Side" is an infectious video that will get anybody singing and dancing along with JUSTICE.
Miami-based dance pop artist Darre Ockert recently released the music video for "You Don't Know Me", the first single right off of his upcoming album, Short Story Long.The single itself, which features an infectious melody and danceable beats, is decorated with twinkling loops, poppy synths.

He hope to combat stereotypes and lead to understanding with this project.
German-born pop singer Fiona released the music video to her single "Up & Down" through her Youtube account last year, and the video has already garnered over 5000 views. The simplistic video serves as a very appropriate accompaniment to Fiona's pop-synth sounds. Featuring Fiona with her lover spending time on the beach, the video tinges with a bright, energetic vibe. Fiona herself wears a headpiece and is radiant in her array of colorful dresses. The single itself is a great mix of pop and Euro-dance. While Fiona claims clear influence from the euro-dance movement, her vocal abilities and musical style closely resembles that of mainstream American singers.

Moon Phase is a song in Harlegquins Enigma's new album Stargazer I. Rather than lying in the mild moon light, this song takes you to an unknown outer space. Run through the whole song, there are two sound lines. One of them is made up of short and tight notes, the other one is long and sustainable. The short notes bring the air of tension, the long one brings the feeling of vast. Through the change on volume and breaks, the two lines push forward each other and build the sense of space. The song is filled of dissonance intervals which intensify the mystique of the song.
Broadway star Rachel Potter recently released her new EP Live the Dream. Working with Justin York, Rachel attempted herself at song writing. From a music lover to Broadway star, from a singer to composer, she lives her dream. In this EP, she set varies in musical style from country to pop-rock. The music is dynamic and spry which serves the theme very well. As the name of the EP, this new album mainly talks about dream. It shows the real emotion of a girl who keeps holding dream in her life. It delivers courage through the songs.
If you feel tired of dull routines, eager for a trip to relax, here is a good solution: listen to the sound from Miss 600. Their new song “Hello” combines the element of jazz and pop music, and presents a light-hearted fell in this video. This is the song that can make you jiggle spontaneously. The singer Hannah Garner’s flexible and powerful voice brings the song alive, while parter David Amar’s picturesque performance contributes a lot of fun in this video. Winning a lot of love from audience and professionals, the song “Hello” is listed in BBC Radio 2, the band's third song in BBC Radio 2.
The new single and video, "Reaching For The Stars", from Giovannie Pierre-Louise, known professionally as Gio, is a slow tempo number that is beautifully inspirational, encouraging, and reaches its goal of being serene, with soft but lyrically strong vocals connecting well with listeners. Fans of any music genre will be easily able to get into this song, because it has a style that simply defies categorization. In the video, Gio is sitting on a beautiful cloud, singing and reaching for her star. If she keeps producing songs like this, it's definitely not far out of reach. One's inspiration doesn't always have to come from somewhere else; if you don't look too far you'll see it within. From Gio, "as a child I always imagined that I was in this land of make believe, with this ever lasting beauty and always used this hairbrush as my microphone. I looked up to the ceiling as if it was beautiful stars while I was singing in my own imaginary world." That was what inspired her to do this song and video, the scene just as she imagined, by herself in the snow. http://www.itsgiovannie.com
Rumbadoodle is the title track of the GRAMMY-nominated full length studio album of Arun Shenoy, exploring a bold new perspective of the gypsy rumba flamenco, combining elements of the traditional art form with a myriad of popular music forms. Recorded almost entirely live across the Globe, this record is an explorative journey, doodling across genre boundaries as we know it today, creating a unique and true masterpiece along the way. Arun Shenoy commented on the video: "Probably inspired by what I had seen from Pink Floyd's 'Pulse' I would assume to some extent. This component involved working with art director Roshni Mohapatra and the team at animation specialty house, Actuality Films in New York led by creative director Robert Capria. This led to very detailed and intricate artwork representative of each track on the album. The Afro-Cuban influence extends to the main album artwork as well. The 1950s American car on the cover is iconic of Cuba, a country cut off from the outside world after the Cuban Missile Crisis. The illustration plays like a black and white photograph and one splash of symbolic color - blue, the most characteristic of the sky, doors and cars in Havana. And the video also follows along the same vibe." http://www.arunshenoy.com/
UK Based jazz-pop duo Miss 600 recently released their new video, "Dance With You". Nothing but listening with your own two ears will do this song justice. The beat is an up tempo cut that has plenty of spunk, passion and a powerhouse vocal performance from Miss 600, which includes singer-songwriter Hannah Garner and multi-instrumentalist David Amar. This is feel good music at its best! In many ways, Garner's vocal style reminds me of Beyonce, and yet it remains extraordinarily unique. This lady doesn't fit into anyone's shadow or mold. The music has a full orchestra sound, with horns and an arrangement that just doesn't quit! Amar also shows his prowess, flexing his musical muscles, and believe me, he's much more Superman in that respect than he is Clark Kent. You just can't listen to this without it impacting your mood. The duo is on a supersonic flight to stardom, and as a reviewer, I have to say that "this is a pair of artists to keep your eye on." Whether you've ever heard of them before or not, you will without a doubt find them on your radar, probably sooner than later. One can tell easily that they enjoy what they're doing, and when you have that along with the cohesiveness and brilliance the team exudes, along with raw talent and songs that transport and allow you to feel like you're at a show instead of just listening to a record, that's a winning combination. http://www.miss600.com
"The Controversial/Purple Thang", from artist Cocky da Homo MC, is actually one of several of his videos that are available on YouTube. He does not appear on this video at all, but the listener is treated to the tracks from his recordings. In one video, he states, "Black people tell me stop comparing us to them". That does not take into account gay Black people, but hey you want your 15 minutes of fame, show us your artistic skills. The music emulates what's hot today, the synthesizer and bass parts are proper, and the drums are mixed and produced for a big sound. Music video is vital to present and represent one's message and music. If this artist is indeed serious about issues for gay hip hop artists, then I hope the next video will be "broadcast ready" because "the world" wants you to bring it for real! http://www.cockaveli.com
Rock group Black Vendetta's "Tennis Girl" is a soft rock mid tempo track that lures you in with a creative video in which a black and white visual of an "animated" person is seen in various stages of thought, as well as having a smoke and holding up placards giving information about the band. Technology is at its coolest in this fun and very entertaining way of enjoying "Tennis Girl". The lead vocalist has the perfect voice for the track, and the song is catchy with great breaks and hooks, backed up nicely by guitar strumming and bass. This is one cut that will get into your head, and you'll love every minute of it. http://www.reverbnation.com/blackvendettababy
Francis Bowie’s song and video “Art Zoo” is an up tempo pop rock track that is definitely a song you’ll want to play when you’re in the mood for having a good time. Catchy, cool, and fun, the video begins in black and white, showing a young lady playing with several items with a twist of magic, as well as the lead singer in a vocal performance of the song. The video is played at a fast pace, which is in keeping with the “fun and frolicking” nature of the song. Masks, makeup, wardrobe changes, and all things “different” are the hallmark of the video. The video changes to color about halfway through, but never loses its pace or creativity. It’s all about fun. Do you feel it like I do? I bet you will!! http://francisbowie.com
Alex Boye's "African Zombie" is a big video with a beautiful damsel in distress and a lot of gore. It's a well-produced, very professional, and creative screen play that's interesting and fast paced. The song itself is performed with great passion and conviction and a set of very musically strong pipes. The satire of the song and the video don't detract from this singer's strong voice and star potential. The music is great, and the beat is danceable. Just in time for the holidays, Boye has provided us with a fun and interesting production that is being hailed as the new "Thriller." http://www.alexboye.com https://www.facebook.com/alexboye.music
A club anthem is a song that everybody can instantly relate to. You can sing the hook because it's easy to remember, and dance to the song as well. And what could be simpler than the idea of wanting someone? Prince Malik's new single and video, "So Bad" tackles the issue in a very entertaining and danceable way. The video follows Malik as he's driving along. A beautiful tall woman in a red dress is crossing the street and they make eye contact, then she gives him warm smile. He immediately gets out the car and follows her to the VIP line into the club. The vocals have the current computer effects and the music track is a bass pounding electronica style. The scene cuts are tight with high def and attention to details like lighting, slo mo, and casting "A" list models. The production on both the studio track and the music video are excellent. How could something "So Bad" be so good? View it for yourself and see! http://princemalikrecords.com
Harmonic Generator's "Nobody Dies" is a heavy metal heavy hitter ( http://youtu.be/UoqgOD3Qwt8 ). With a funky groove, banging bass, and a lead singer who was born to sing metal, this track is the epitome of cool. A great video is always the perfect complement to a great song, and this one doesn't fail to please. It's a full color, well produced performance of the song, and there's enough energy and friction in it to light up a city. The band is outstanding and the video is captivating, thrilling, sexy, and a little dangerous, but remember - "Nobody Dies".

Steve Cooke's "Working For The USA" is listed as Americana Rock, but I also hear some southern rock coming hard like the Bruce Springsteen sound. Cooke sings a very inspiring song about the USA and the working class who are the backbone of this great nation. He's a very good singer with a strong a passionate style and a mighty stage presence on this video. Shot in black and white, the video is full of color and life from Cooke and his group. The song is strong, uplifting, empowering, and is one that can touch all the workers of the USA. With a hard driving sound that slows at times to allow a sweet harmony to shine, "Working For The USA" is a song that can't and won't be contained. It's explosive and powerful, and very timely. Cooke really delivers the goods on this one. Both lyrically and musically solid, the song and video are highly inspirational and entertaining, as well as being thought provoking. The video is full of shots of real American people working and the intended connection is very well made. This is very high quality production with outstanding performances from Cooke and his Band. It's an easy sing along song, while its patriotic theme carries a positive message to bring hope, work and happiness back to America's people. http://www.steve-cooke.com
Jey Gibbs is a treat for ladies with a smooth style and strong, sexy look. He definitely has what it takes to be a sex symbol on the big stage. His style on this song is very smooth with an alto voice that really sounds good. The video is full of shots of beautiful bodies, sounds, and scenes. From the beach to the streets, the scenes move along well with the music and the song, which is a very erotic and sexy cut. The lyrics are well written and passionately sung by Jey. This is a quality video and performance from what looks like the next sex symbol to take the musical throne. With a voice that will make women swoon and good looks to match, Jey Gibbs is the real deal. Check him and his music and video out. You won't be sorry that you did. http://www.jeygibbs.com
Some people like Rock n Roll. Others like reality shows. And then, there are those like Willie Basse who dares to combine the two in the new internet reality television show, "Tales From The Sunset Strip." The show is hosted by none other than Basse, who is known as the "Cultural Ambassador To The Sunset Strip" and is best known as the frontman for the L.A. based rock band Black Sheep. Basse has worked with and knows some of the biggest names in Hollywood including Poison, and Buddy Miles. He and his friends have lots of stories (and secrets) to tell and they do it all on "Tales From The Sunset Strip." It's streaming right on your laptop, iPhone, or other digital device, so catch up to the hot gossip and find out what you've been missing on the Strip. http://thesunsetstriponline.com
Si Cranstoun and his band perform the song "Coupe De Ville" lives at the Balajo, Paris in this video that's rocking and rolling and providing a good time for everyone in the listening or watching vicinity. The song is catchy, piano solo is remarkable, and Si Cranstoun has just the right vocal style for this song. Harmonies are well done, and it will be a miracle if you can sit still or down while this hot little number is playing. The video has a retro "Happy Days" look and it works well visually, where we get to see Cranstoun and crew seriously jamming. A black and white image of a lady who is definitely from the 50's is shown intermittently throughout the video, giving it even more authenticity. "Coupe De Ville" is a good time, good mood, good feeling song that's catchy and well performed and produced. You'll be singing it before you know it. The song it available on iTunes, but don't forget to catch the video. It is definitely a show not to be missed. http://www.sicranstoun.com
The video "Got A Light" by Bluerays Moonwalkers makes it abundantly clear that these guys have talent. The lead in the band pays great respect to Michael Jackson in the manner in which he pulls off his dance moves, and the inspired moonwalk which he has mastered. The video has an overlay of a shadow of Michael Jackson dancing. A vibrant blue light then enters the lab, where the lead singer, posing as a chemistry lab worker, is transformed by the light into an entertainer when the light enters his heart. This video has very clever use of symbols and special effects. Pop music fans in India should be very proud of this band who represents them so well and has such great potential. The music is uptempo with nice use of keyboards, and drums that are played with skill, responding well to the bass. The video edits are clean, and the locations include enthusiastic high tech workers, amazing trees, and dancing on rooftops with Jackson style choreography, and happy children. There's a future for this band if they want it, they just have to keep striving, These guys could go places. http://bluerays.bandcamp.com
"Molly Ringwald Is Dead" is a video featuring the new song from Love Supine. It opens in the middle of a gathering of trees, as a mysterious sound heralds in the lead vocalist who is fading into view in the distance. The colors are almost black and white with a very washed out effect. In contrast, the rock band's down beat and the power chord of guitars bring this song to life. The singer is fascinated that the 80's teen star Molly Ringwald has opinions and thoughts that he didn't expect from her. The tempo is danceable, and the vocal style a bit like Fred Schneider of B52. The lead singer and guitar are the only players in the video, so there are effective cuts to the scene in synch with the music. "Molly Ringwald is Dead", has a dark humor to it, and should be perfect for Halloween. http://lovesupine.com
Just one watch of "Never Listen to Rumours" tells you it's a who's who of British Rock Royalty displaying how it's done when you've got a great band, and each member has made a name for themselves: Casino Steel, Michael Monroe, Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols), Martin Chambers (The Pretenders), Sami Yaffa (Hanoi Rocks), Verden Allen (Mott The Hoople) & Darrell Bath (The Crybabys). The video begins with the sax player jumping on stage with an incredible red saxophone. Before a word is sung, they are pounding out power chords and the band sings a vocal hook in unison. Visually, the band is complete with 3 scantily clad female singers; all the guys have their own style of stage clothes that emanate rock star swag, with 2 Keyboard players - one on piano, and the other on the Hammond Organ. Completing their wall of sound is tenor sax, 2 guitars, electric bass, and drums. The video captures their performance on a soundstage without an audience, but they play to the viewer. The song talks about friends you can drink with, but gives a warning that one must not trust everything people say. The groove is strong, and the attitude is street smart. The rock sax solo, and guitar all add to the great vocal performance from the lead singer - the impressive Honest Plain John. This one's a keeper!

Rock group Death By Chocolate's new video "Tell Me What You See" is very visually interesting and stimulating. With time lapse slow motion, a beautiful woman, and violence with a S&M twist, this video captivates. A very upbeat rock track with hard pounding sound accompanies the video quite nicely. Death By Chocolate's "Tell Me What You See" is well performed and produced. The lead vocalist's voice and style is more than ample as he delivers on this jamming song. With the band rocking hard, this cut is a winner. They add a little Indian melody and all kinds of hard core treats. The video is humorous and entertaining (and steaming hot) while the music is hard core and shows just how rock is supposed to be done. Email: tv@musicdish.net Website: http://www.deathbychocolate.ch
Kelly Waters "Sunny" is a really amazing video. First of all, she has a rich, beautiful voice, and her ability to use it as an instrument is extraordinary. On this particular track, she uses a vast and impressive vocabulary as she delivers the message of her song, which is one of love. Kelly sings about the love she feels for the guy that has made her heart throb. Then there's the video with her singing and making muffins in the kitchen while she exudes sexiness as she reads the dictionary dressed like a librarian. Her style is that of the eccentric girl that you just have to love because of her ways. Her video and music are lovely and I really liked the presentation. Both the song and video are very well performed and produced. "Sunny" is definitely bright! Email: tv@musicdish.net Website: http://www.kellywatersmusic.com
Eliot Wayne puts on a guitar clinic in his new powerful southern rock track 'Everyside'. The smooth country vocals blend perfectly with the chugging of Wayne's heavy rock telecaster. The video is great within it's simplicity, as it has Wayne playing the entire song from his patio. Not being distracted by anything else on the screen, the viewer is able to truly focus on the raw emotion displayed by Eliot Wayne. The song's about falling in love, and his lyrics are so moving and so powerful. But let's not forget the awesome guitar lines! When Eliot Wayne goes into a guitar interlude, it's hard not to be completely blown away by his skill. This is a well made video and a must see for southern rock fan! Email: tv@musicdish.net Website: http://www.eliotwaynemusic.com
"This Old Radio" is a harp-based indie track that combines both subtlety and emotion. The entire video focuses on Anna Cate playing her harp and singing the song in her living room. This gives a certain intimacy to the song, kind of like getting to hear a private performance with no one else around. She sings about this old radio, one that a loved one used to play her favourite song on. The cinematography suggests that there is a longing in her life, perhaps for a life she used to have. The shaky, indie style of the camerawork allows the viewer to feel her distress and see that she truly means every word that she sings. To accompany the voice, she focuses much of the video on her fingers playing the harp. Her hands move with such grace and makes such a difficult instrument seem easy to play. Anna Cate's video is certainly one not to be missed. Email: tv@musicdish.net Website: http://www.annacatemusic.com
What a way to capture a solid rock band! The producers of Americana/country rock Eliot Wayne's "Fallen" did a great job shooting this driving quick tempo song with well-placed cameramen, with the first stage right, the second stage left, and another behind Eliot and to the left of the drummer who was giving the performance of a lifetime. Another camera in front captured the energy of the band with close ups of Eliot's guitar as he played with passion and intensity. The edits were excellent, adding to the energy, and excitement of "Fallen". The harmony on this song is powerful with strong open intervals between Eliot and the backup vocals of his bass player. The guys were dressed "garage band" casual, but be advised, they are most definitely a strong rocking trio, and it's hard to believe that they were unsigned in 2011! Kudos to Producer Chuck Miller and editor Alex Henley for very smartly done cuts on this video. Email: tv@musicdish.net Website: http://eliotwaynemusic.com
As a tribute to "the soldiers who died fighting for our country," KC Jockey's "Livinin Love" music video is the story of a soldier who deals with losing and gaining love. Being at war in Iraq causes his girlfriend to grow impatient of being apart and break up with him, but once he returns from war, love conquers all. The soldier returns to the smiles and cheers of his beloved family and friends, as well as into the arms of his apologetic girlfriend. The scenario makes you wonder whether or not the girl would stick around if her boyfriend had to return to war again... The positive message and optimistic vibe of the actual song is unexpected after watching the soldier and his girlfriend argue and break up at the beginning of the video. With a rhythmic and dynamic percussion, "Livinin Love" speaks about being in love and being thankful for what you have. It is a feel-good anthem that could brighten anyone's day by encouraging them to just smile and be happy. The downers, pessimists, and ungrateful beings of the world should take a listen to it in hopes of recovering from their dark days and moving on with their lives. As for our valiant war heroes, after being exposed to so much hate and violence, and defending their nations so that the rest of us can live in peace, "Livinin Love" shows them what they're fighting for and what we wish for them.

"Hello", a new animated video from the award winning DJ JP, explodes onto the screen with a massive bass and Electro pop track. The low voice speaks in English, and it's very humorous and entertaining with very simply drawn characters moving around on a black background. The bass has an elastic sound, and a moving line that sounds like a jazz walking bass. A little man in a hat is searching everywhere as he walks past the country side flowers, and through the rain storm to find someone he's trying to talk to, but can't hear. The music becomes more intense as the kick drum and high note keyboards keep climbing higher in tension, and the poor little man just keeps trekking through the city traffic. Ahhh, finally the payoff comes as night falls, and our hero is joined by many friends that came to dance, and party! "Thanks for coming!". This will be perfect when fans come to hear JP spin at one of his shows! Smartly placed social buttons are on the end of the video for social media sites, offering fans numerous ways to connect with DJ JP. Email: tv@musicdish.net Website: http://www.jplantieri.com
Robert Nix's video for "Walk Down the Street" is one that's difficult to explain, but incredibly pleasing to watch. He is a post-contemporary composer, but his music is so much more. The video follows Nix as he records the various instruments in the song, creating a fully experimental and pop-rock fusion track. He throws in some cut scenes of himself walking aimlessly through his home-city of Toronto to represent the theme of his song; being lost. The cinematography supports the theme as well, as the dissonance of the shaky camera certainly makes the viewer feel a little lost. The compassion in his voice and power in his presence in the video allows the video to almost attain a sense of spirituality. All in all, this is a fantastic video from top to bottom. Robert Nix is a mastermind and he displays a true love for his craft. Teaming up with filmmaker Rohit "Badmash" Thakur was a terrific decision and "Badmash" certainly fulfilled his responsibilities.

American Brit Rocker Barry Keenan's song and video "Everything's Going To Be Fine" are very good. Keenan has a great singing voice and does a fantastic job with this very touching and inspirational song. The video shows a young boy and his drawings, which depict the song's lyrical content about how in spite of all of the bad things going on around us, if we concentrate on the love that's inside each and every one of us, everything will be alright. It's very creative to use a child, someone who is so innocent, to convey something that seems to be so complex to so many adults. If a child knows this, why don't we? The lyrics are solid and Keenan obviously has a very deep connection to his spiritual side and with the word. The folk music and vocal performance deliver the message solidly and with conviction.

Sound Liberation, accompanied by Chanda Rule, has collaborated with Luma Launisch to create a beautiful artistic video for the song "Breath". This video juxtaposes two layers of video; the vocalist's emotional performance on one and a landscape style shot of an everyday city on the other. The artistic prowess of the video is made evident from the first dissonant synth hit that builds into a great indie-R&B fusion score. The vocalist demonstrates incredible power with a strong, confident singing voice. She guides the viewer through various cultures of the city, exposing the beauty in everyday life. This video is clearly a first-class production and the results is an amazing video. Email: tv@musicdish.net Website: http://www.soundliberation.net
The official HD video for "Rapture, Pt. 1 (Incite)" from the Australian unhinged metal trio Kunvuk's second LP "Consume Rapture" is almost indescribable. The opening moments of the video with flickering shots interspersed with blackness brought up memories of the movie Paranormal Activity for some reason. Recorded in the rehearsal studio while the band was preparing for a tour behind the new album, the video captures the insanity and chaos that unfolds when the band launches into their music. The first half of the video is chaotic, full volume, and definitely hyped up to the max. In the second half of the video, the band begins playing a very cool sounding up tempo number that is definitely music that metal lovers will enjoy, and the "chaos" subsides. KUNVUK is a very talented band, and if rehearsals have this much energy, the live show must be one non-stop adrenaline rush. Email: tv@musicdish.net Website: http://www.facebook.com/kunvuk
The video and track "In Dreams With You" from the contemporary artist Lily, who calls the West Australian port city of Fremantle home, and has a rich Eurasian heritage, is a simple, but very engaging experience as viewers see Lily belt out the tune, which can only be described as country with soul. Lily has a beautiful, powerful voice, and this ballad, which includes a sexy guitar solo, and commands this song with the expertise of an artist who has passion and raw talent. The song is hauntingly beautiful, and it's one of the best and most memorable singles that I have heard in a very long time. The arrangement and production, combined with Lily's stellar vocal performance and the great musicianship of those playing behind her make this video memorable and the track one that is a must have. No matter what genre of music you like, "In Dreams With You" will touch your heart and soul. Email: tv@musicdish.net Website: http://www.billiereidmusic.com
Christian reggae/hip hop artist Devotion's music video "Winner" is a visually engaging, inspirational, and encouraging video about being a "Winner" because of a relationship with God. Set to a hip hop/reggae grove with a nice hook, that's very nice. with a very inspirational message and a very nice hook. Devotion spits her rhymes with Christian lyrics done in a really cool and hip way. With a strong voice and presentation, she exudes positivity, presenting the image of a strong young woman whose life is in control because of The One who is in control. It's a refreshing look at the other side of hip hop, and Devotion is a natural at both the rhymes and video performance. The video unfolds to tell of a "courtship" where the guy is coming with game, and she is not the least bit fooled or conned into going for it because she has a self-confidence that comes from an inner strength that doesn't let you down. She is a smooth rapper and the reggae beat is very danceable. The groove is so strong that this could easily cross over to other musical genres. The video is professionally shot and very well produced. Email: tv@musicdish.net Website: http://www.devotionworld.com Music: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/winner-single/id419172574

Progressive rock band X Contract's debut single and video "The Pain" from their new album "Dearest Dream" is definitely a winner. The leader singer has a beautiful and powerful voice, and he gives an awesome vocal performance on this track with a softness and subtleness that is perfect for this track. He sings the song well, and takes you on a ride, along with the video, that is full of surprises. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the cut is both musically and lyrically solid, in addition to being well arranged and produced. The band has a powerful guitar duo, a very strong drummer, and a great bassist holding it all in place with a strong, energetic sound. Nice hard breaks with pounding guitars keep the vibe moving from beginning to end. As the video unfolds, it shows the inner minds of people when they are treated badly. The words of the song tell the story, but the video shows it nicely! With a little soft porn and some violence, the video is both creative and captivating. A great track set to an innovative video performance is what X Contract has accomplished with "The Pain", which is sure to receive accolades from progressive, rock, and alternative music lovers.
