The Let Go – “Standing Back”
If you love something, set it free. One of the oldest songs in the book, rewritten and reconsidered by poets and songwriters since the dawn of language, still a new and raw story to everyone who feels it firsthand. The Let Go has a funny yet heartfelt take on this end of the romance saga, which they drop in on from several points of view, painting a complete picture that respects the situation and everyone involved. Pretty grow’d up work coming from a trio of Seattle young’uns.

V Label – “C’est la Bombe”
How fly do ya want it? Hip-Hop has, in its relatively short life, spread throughout the globe and spawned independent practitioners in nearly every language. This tight little track apparently has lyrics in English, French, and Russian (are there more?!) but don’t let that put you off. It holds together seamlessly, and the hooks and music are so compelling I just have to share. Musically fun yet sophisticated, and at the highest production value for this medium, this is international, up to the minute pop.

Deastro – “The Shaded Forests”
Young Randolph Chabot, AKA Deastro, lives in a musical world of his own creation, where the 80’s never ended, they just got more.. 80’s! Uploading his original song productions from the basement of his ‘rents house, and playing shows in and around his native Detroit, this lad is on his way to a new kind of stardom. Truly DIY and unabashedly pop, Deastro is an ecstatic invention of himself.
