Music Video Monday: Gone

We are beginning to get back to normal here at Night Beat HQ. One of the major parts in the return to normalcy is the return of Music Video Monday. And we get a January Thaw at the same time. A double bonus. Without further ado, the first Music Video Monday of 2018.

We begin with New Music from a New Artist. Brooke Robertson (of Duck Dynasty Fame) has thrown her hat into the CCM Ring. She released her debut EP entitled Have My Heart this past Friday and this is the video for the title cut.

Next up we have Plumb (aka Tiffany Arbuckle Lee). She put out an EP this past quarter entitled God Help Me. From the EP, this is the title cut as well.
In an all title cut edition of Music Video Monday we move on to RED. They released GONE. A band which, despite the lyrics of the song, will never "Fade Away". I think they will be here for a while, and when they do hang it up, which I hope is far away in the future, I have no doubt that they will go out with an orchestral bang.
That does it for this edition of Music Video Monday. 2018 is under way. Let's see if we can get a streak going. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

A Three Way Tie Greets Us as we move into 2018. Our next genre is Live Recorded Album. I know, Live Album spans genres. But what else can I do with it, it's not General Field material. Let's get to it.

Now that we are done with our multiple-genre posts as we reveal the 1st Quarter entrants into the #PlatVnyl9 Pool we move to the single genre. We go from least to greatest. The Minimum Bar Needed is Five Entrants. That bar was met by Gospel/R&B. All the others exceed it. Let's get to it.

Next up is a three way tie. Live Album, Adult Contemporary and Pop all had seven entrants. None Had Six. So there will be no beastly trio this time around. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
