Abdul the Rabbi - 4th Ward AfroKlezmer Orchestra

Posted by Unknown

Artist: Abdul the Rabbi
Title: Abdul The Rabbi

Genre: jazz, soul, rap, orchestral

I believe this is my first hearing of a rap song that's been dubbed on orchestral-jazz influenced melodies. I'm impressed with both the vocalist and the 4th Ward AfroKlezner Orchestra. Both present exceptional skills in music making. If you want to be religiously inspired, or gain some tips of how to drop a pro rap verse, then check the the below song out. Definitely not something I expected - came as a good surprise.

Tentacle Trauma - Alien Invasion

Posted by Unknown

Artist: Tentacle Trauma
Title: Alien Invasion

Genre: indie-pop, dance, electronic

The melody is pop suitable, and the chorus has some neat funk elements that evoke an interesting blend of eeriness and storytelling. This is an artist to check out if you're into new age indie-pop music. It's a band that settles for "unique" and "different" when compared to many other commercial pop artists. PS: awesome album art cover; wouldn't you agree?

Pennenga - Cried like a Baby

Posted by Unknown

Artist: Pennenga
Title: Cried Like A Baby

Genre: 80's pop, old-school, dance, soft-rock

Remember the classic pop-disco tunes in the late 80's to early 90's? Well, newcomer artist Pennenga is bringing pop history back into modern music with his recent release of Cried Like A Baby. If you enjoy the earlier albums by Wham! or Phil Collins, you'll be finding yourself pleasantly reminded of a similar musical style. Support Pennenga, and encourage the re-introduction of 80's pop classics remastered into modern mainstream tunes. LOVE the guitar riffs at "1.04 seconds." Now that's what I call catchy!
