Kelly Phoenix - Move On Up
*WARNING* addictive song up ahead, the accused being Kelly Phoenix with his latest sweet crime- Move On Up. Phoenix truly knows how to mix things up and mix he does with this alt-rock-jazz number. His vocals and instrumentals dazzle and make their talent known, up until the very end. Phoenix sets the mood with the thumping beats that fill the room with haze, ready for Phoenix to enter the stage. And Phoenix pulls up with the most “cool as a cucumber” aura. He injects the room with energy as the guitar has the room soaring to new heights. The track would be perfect in This Means War. The playfulness in the song can make the rom-com drama, that much more delicious for the viewers. So sit back and buckle up while Kelly Phoenix takes you into a techni-coloured wonderland. You must check out the links attached above and give him and his work the attention they so rightfully deserve.
Kevin Driscoll - The Maine Thing
There is something to say about the whimsy Kevin Driscoll brings to the table, especially in The Maine Thing. The singer-songwriter is creating a genre of his own that somehow has the power to make you feel light while also carrying a sense of gravity. He opens a window and gives us a new perspective on the way songs are written and also taken in. His latest single also falls into this genre that lies somewhere between slam poetry and R&B. The singer-songwriter peppers the song with poetry at every turn. This track begins with an easy-going guitar section that adds a sense of levity to the number. This steady strumming forms the perfect backing for Kevin, and when the chord progresses, we hear Kevin also add a little bit more complexity in tone, tune and lyrics. The track focuses on the resilience of human existence, and the largest thing we remember is to buckle up, hold on tight and not give up. The rawness of it reminds you of country and folk as well. The banjo-like sounding instrument truly adds wings beneath the song’s wings, giving it a little twang and edge. This number has a character and personality of its own. This could perfectly fit into Jojo Rabbit; although the music tapestry in the film is different, it carries the spirit of it strongly. He sees a seed of dream and hope in every number he releases, and somehow, it magically has near-perfect production on it.
