“Get a Move on!†– Mr. Scruff
This jazz infused song has been a theme for several car advertisements. That said it’s a well done composition that can stand on its own. Horns and the Electronica genre come together with a little help from DJ Sneaky (from Fingathing) to make this near 8 minute track a pleasure to listen to.
“Made For Glory†– Landon Pigg
This haunting song of love lost is a heartbreaker. As piano, guitar and tambourine emphasize the protagonist’s pain you take this journey with him, then he sings of hope and it doesn’t come across as hokey. Its subtle orchestration will keep you involved until the end and you’ll be glad you did.
“What Are You Gonna Do?†– Miranda Lambert
Lambert’s rich vocals make this track. This is one country song that takes all the tropes of the genre and makes it fresh. Download it soon before it’s gone.
“Para Ti†– Joshua Bell; Tiempo Libre
Violinist Joshua Bell is an amazing artist. His inventiveness is showcased here by his ability to fuse Classical, Latin and Jazz influences. The song makes you want to get up and dance. It’ll have you searching for anything associated with Joshua Bell.
“Blame it on The Girls†– Mika
This is one infectious track. With its spoken word intro followed by well executed vocals and musicianship it’s no wonder that the single has reached number one in Japan. The arrangement of the lyrics makes it one of those ready-made songs that will have everyone singing along. You won’t care what Mika’s singing as long as he doesn’t stop. Luckily the words make sense.
“For The Right of Love†– Butterfly Boucher
Boucher takes on folk music and turns it on its head. This singer/songwriter takes on the confusion emotion of love and in this drum influenced track attempts to figure out while it’s worth it. With guitar and tambourine accompanying her you’ll stay with her to see if she’s found out what it’s all about. Well worth a listen.
“Racing Lights†– Star of Track and Field
This track is one of those middle-of-the-road rock songs. It won’t set the music world on fire, but it is well done. The vocal and instrument arrangement work in tandem to create a listenable song – best of all it’s free.
