John Reilly – ‘LA LA LA (Bulletproof)’ 

April 6, 2021

In John Reilly’s latest single, the anthemic ‘LA LA LA (Bulletproof)’, he sings, “All we need is a telephone / a satellite beaming me to your home.” It’s the perfect example of just one way many of us have tried to maintain some sense of normality during this long pandemic. Musicians are no different, they need that means by which to stay connected. And so, to a rocker who is desperate and determined to stay in connection, he uses any method at his fingertips, be it phones, satellites, the Internet, or smoke signals.

April 6, 2021

Atlanta native Shonte Renee radiates infectious girl power and with her powerful voice she’s been going against the grain ever since she first arrived in the music industry.

Shonte Renee’s latest single, is just one more example of how fearless she actually is.

In the video she is seen wearing a period costume, and she delivers Sojourner Truth’s most famous speech. Using language that is both stinging, and righteous, she insists on her prerogatives and her rights and reminds us that there’s nothing a man can do that a woman can’t match.

Xavier Toscano – ‘The Remedy (Feel Alright)’, ‘Made It Look Easy’ and ‘You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) vs Vogue’

April 6, 2021

We’ve not heard from Xavier Toscano for a while, but like buses, three videos have come all at once! There is nothing the San Francisco native can’t do; he’s a master of all genres, and quickly adapts to the mood of the room, or the vibe of the people, whether it be an intimate gathering or a festival; he knows automatically how to speak to the heart of each person. Spicing his musical style with EDM, rap, rock, reggae, and R&B, while imbuing it with a massive amount of pop energy, his sound is equally relevant in the club, the shopping centre, and on the soundtrack of a tv show.

Jake Inzerra – ‘WHATCHUGOT’

April 6, 2021

Jake Inzerra strode out of the negative and toxic home environment in his native Connecticut, and sashayed his way to New York City on his six-inch-stilettos. Finding comfort, acceptance, and passion in local theatre production, the homophobic attacks of his school classmates were cast away like a forgotten memory. Jake isn’t just a singer or a songwriter, he’s a performer, who strives to please and entertain his audience, and he certainly does this with his new single and music video, ‘WHATCHUGOT’.

Camera2 – ‘Natalie’

March 24, 2021

The music video for NYC rock band Camera2’s latest single, ‘Natalie’, is as much a story in itself as a clip to accompany the song. Opening with a young boy riding his bicycle down a deserted country rode, there’s a deep sinister-ness about it all, despite his angelic face and the verdant forest. The boy drops his bike and runs into the forest, in such a sudden and deliberate moment that it’s immediately obvious that there’s something serious about to happen.

Alex Woodard – ‘Halfway’ 

March 24, 2021

Acclaimed singer songwriter Alex Woodard is as much at home with a pen in his hand as he is when he’s standing strumming behind a guitar. A storyteller at heart whose songs are right up there with Springsteen and Mellencamp, Woodard is also a published author, so when he reaches his limit lyrically, he’s able to step in with his books, with each reinforcing the other. His latest series of essays, ‘Living Halfway’, finds its musical equivalent in his song, ‘Halfway’, a fan favourite that the artist has been singing on tour for several years now. Paired with ‘Living Halfway’, the song takes on a deeper meaning.
