From blues to pop, classic rock and other garage tracks, the playlist this week should resonate with you. Let’s go!
The playlist gets a very pop start with the British artist Sophie Li proposes through Billboards. With some cool sharp riffs and a gripping clear voice, she reveals her ambitions, and it’s charming. With such an upbeat attitude, and a tad rawer, Forgotten Tides asks Help Me! This catchy chorus is simply irresistible. As memorable, Fountain gets down to business with their torn garage sound on Invisible Wasp. As a bridge between garage and what’s coming next, the trio Mazingo storms in with all their French and American influences on One Poor Teardrop. It’s a wonderful rock-blues that should make you smile.
For once, I put blues at the heart of the playlist. It’s The Imagine If that is taking over with Devil’s Child. Warm vocals, some soul bits… it’s intense, gripping and an incredible discovery. In a quieter register, Bad Flamingo is back on the blog with a peculiar and gentle atmosphere on Numb, and with these textured vocals that I love so much. Energy is progressively going up with Steve Johnson’s classic rock on his second single Heaven & Hell. His passion is felt through his lovely guitar work. Also borrowing from blues, but also leaning towards pop tunes, Sarah Glassman’s new single, Now That I’m Gone, is the natural follow-up. It’s another pretty catchy tune.
But with Call Me Out, Deep In Moon probably is the catchiest of them all. A funky bass line, round vocals, clear guitars… and there it is, flawless. Darker, EÐÐIE is back with a torn pop-rock song, Wish I Hated You. A tortured track that vibrates with passion. In the biting category, BXRRELL (pronounced buhRELL) send the pseudo-tough guys packing in the direct, cheeky and satisfying White Noise. Let’s close the playlist of the week with another earworm, of the powerful rock kind: Turning off My Television by King Black Acid. Banger.
