Sometimes the free music download gods are kind and in this instance it’s a good week for those who seek out new artists and old favorites.
“Stay Out All Night (Radio Slave)†– Josh Wink
You’re in a club, with dim lights and all you want to do is dance, or you’re in your room and need a study break; either way Josh Wink has the answer for you with this track. Its long, monotonous beat is just the thing to have you forget the negativity that surrounds you. In essence it gives you something we all need to do once in a while – permission to think about nothing at all.
“Let the Madness Begin†– Fozzy
At the first listen of the guitar lick in “Let the Madness Begin†you know you’re in for a heavy metal treat. Do the lyrics matter, maybe, but what’s great about this song is that it only adds to the solid musicianship. With the release of their fourth album “Chasing the Grail†early this year if the songs are half as good as this rocking track then get it – now.
“Trash Day†– Butch Walker
When you listen to “Trash Day†your first thought will be “Why haven’t I heard of this guy before?†Walker’s folksy style on this track will have you listening continuously to this song as his guitar playing draws you in and keeps you interested. Another lyricist who combines solid playing with an amazing play on words Walker definitely deserves to be on heavy rotation in your mp3 player.
“I Don’t Remember Why†– Flying Machines
The opportunity to find new or obscure bands is one of the reasons why downloading free music brings a welcome surprise to the listener. Having said that originally reviewed in ’09 from their self-titled album “I Don’t Remember Why†is a solid track that emphasizes the musicianship of the Flying Machines. Electric guitar, piano and drums combine to save this song from being clichéd. It’s worthy of having a place in your mp3 player.
“Once You Got Me Going†– Debby Blackwell
Remember when you heard a song on the radio and so began your journey to find the singer – well Debby Blackwell had to be one of those artists that you needed to track down. With a sound reminiscent of Teena Marie, Blackwell gives what would have been an ordinary song sex-appeal and style. It’s danceable and listenable at the same time as her velvety-textured voice acrobatically maneuvers through the lyrics and the beat. This great song will take you back to those basement parties. Download it.
“New Life†– Sounds of Liberation
Is it Carlos Santana? No it’s the Sounds of Liberation as they mix Latin and Jazz beats. You’ll feel like you’re stealing when you download this free track.
“Mamaya†– The Souljazz Orchestra
The Souljazz Orchestra is aptly named. With this track you hear heavy influences of Latin drums and Jazz horns that combined with the Latin chanting makes an intriguing track that you won’t be able to stop listening to – and you’ll be just fine with that.
