2015, or as we like to call it here at +The WENC Night Beat #PlatVnyl6, is fully underway. The Christmas Releases are over and we are getting new material in every Tuesday. We got off to a brisk pace this January, and I'm not talking about the weather. All that did was wreak havoc with the blogging schedule. Looking for Spring.
We continue our tradition of leading off with Single releases, with, hopefully, an album or EP to follow. Tongue in Cheek, we refer to it, in a Valentines appropriate way, as
The Singles Scene
Now normally we would go on to the releases which missed the mark. We looked and looked but couldn't find any. So there are none, barring any lost releases turning up. We almost thought that there were no Perfect Albums this month. Poor bookkeeping made it look like that, but one finally turned up hiding under the rubble.
Pure Platinum Perfection
- Derek Minor - Empire
5 Emeralds
This is a month for the semi-precious metals, and truly that is the case most months. Usually we have a few more entrants in the other categories as well. But 19 releases here make this a very good month.
Semi-Precious Metal
Well that wraps up January. Love must be in the air. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
Video by A New Artist. There is some wiggle room with this category as to "new" but not much. Sometimes they are debut, sometimes major label debut, and sometimes it's just that I just now heard of them. And isn't that all that really matters? Anyway we picked the five best videos by some of the up and comers. And the nominees are.
Beautiful Love, +ShineBrightBaby
Goin' Home, +WHOSOEVER SOUTH
God of the Impossible, +Everfound
He is With Us, +LoveAndTheOutcome
K.I.D.S., +Farah Loux
I hope you enjoy watching these nominees as much as I did while making the picks. I encourage you to vote for your favorite in the comments. Video of The Year is next. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
Welcome Back to Music Video Monday, and Happy Veterans Day everyone. On This Day in 1918 the Armistice which led the groundwork for World War II was signed (sorry, Ended World War I, but we know the truth). End of history lesson, on to the videos.
We are closing out pop music on this Monday. Friday we move on to the Electronic Genres. We begin our video tour with another video by Love and The Outcome. This is City of God.
Next Up we have a wonderful British-American Sister Duo known as The Sonflowerz. This is the video for the title cut, Love Walked In.
No Sophomore Slump for our next artist. I knew it when I heard her debut, but it seems the industry is a little behind, as usual. Simply put, Dara Maclean is Wanted.
We end our pop tour with Ryan Stevenson, who says that he is Holding Nothing Back.
That finishes off pop. Friday we begin Dance and Electronica. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
Welcome back to the Weekend Edition of Music Video Monday. I have decided to bookend the weekends with Music Videos to help you kick off the Weekend, and keep you from the Monday Blues.
We Start, or RESTART, with Newsboys, who encourage us to Live With Abandon.
I've really enjoyed this restart. Going into Synthpop was a very good move. It suits Michael Tait "To a T".
Next up is new group Love and The Outcome, reminding us, no matter what we are going through, we can trust our God, for He is With Us.
Another song from Jason Castro. This is Rise To You.
We finish the Weekend Edition with Christa Wells, one half of More Than Rubies. This is Shine.
That concludes another weekend edition of Music Video Monday. See You Monday for our regularly scheduled MVM. We're here on Veterans Day too. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
