Your free mp3 downloads has a theme to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Depending on whether you care about the person you sent these songs to or not you may be spending your next romantic holiday alone.
“Make Me Want More†– Kylie Auldist
Perhaps the intention is not to sound like a b-side cover to an Al Green record, but for Kylie Auldist it works. The soul vibe is heavy and the laid back beat makes for a listenable tune.
“Look, Let’s Make Love†– Sidney Thomas
Monotonous repetition does not an entertaining song about song make. Skip it.
“Ambling Amp†– Yeasayer
The experimentation in sound amps up the everyday-normalcy of the lyrics. Its upbeat melody at times seems to fight against the words, but stick with it.
“Come On†– Green River Ordinance
The powers that be either really like this track or they’re just lazy as “Come On†was first reviewed in November 09. It’s still a solid rock track and if you haven’t downloaded it yet; now is your chance.
“Healing Hands†– Citizen Cope
Citizen Cope has this way of throwing lyrics together to a rockabilly, folk, reggae rhythm that makes complete sense when heard. It’s a deep song that forces you to listen.
“Sandra†– Smoking Pipes
If you’re suffering from a hangover this won’t help you get over it. It’s alternative rock with some spoken word thrown in about Sandra Bernhard. Then again you’d have to be seriously inebriated to download it to begin with.
“Fall Into Love†– Rabbit!
Remember Citizen Cope and the way they meld their lyrics in a way that makes cohesive sense and speaks to the listener on a multilayer of emotional levels? It would make more sense to download “Healing Hands†twice than to download “Fall Into Love†once.
