Victoria Justice, Keke Palmer, Louisa Johnson + more feature on new Toby Gad “Piano Diaries” album!

Quite a talented and eclectic collection of artists that Toby Gad has brought together for The Piano Diaries. For me, I’m actually quite impressed as it’s not always an easy task to take known songs in one sound and work them into another. Nice work

GRUFF RHYS Announces new track “Silver Lining Lead Balloons”

Here’s a few words that come to mind when I think of Gruff’s video for his new track; creative, nice neon, film noir and sleek. I’ve seen a few videos by Rhys so this is brand new and I actually like it and not something I’d ever expected to see but nonetheless great.

Love Spit Love – How Soon is Now

In light of the passing of legendary American actress Shannon Doherty I wanted to pay homage to this fine classic.

Originally released in 1984 by The Smiths, it reached new popularity after being covered by Love Spit Love which was used for hit film The Craft 1996 then three years later as the theme tune for supernatural hit TV series Charmed. 

MICHAEL J. BENJAMIN – Returns with “Ocean Away” Single

Watching this video a couple of things that I found myself liking were that it had a deeply tranquil feel and that it’s like Michael is perfect directly and only to you. The open space adds more dimension to the atmosphere. Michael’s voice is smooth and is up there with Bob Dylan and John Denver.
