First Look: The Greeners – Take Me Home
The Greeners have premiered their new video for the track titled 'Take Me Home'. Set in the mind of a subtle musical genius, we get a glimpse of what possibly became of the girl from Ipanema (the real one, Heloísa Pinheiro, became a successful businessperson), but I also like to think that she found her way home. Found her roots. This is what I get from 'Take Me Home'. I get the full circle. The completion and restart. The full circle.
First Look: The Special Pillow – Mind Wipe

First Look: Dylan James – Let’s Talk
Dylan James has today released his new video and single titled 'Let's Talk'. Seen as the epitome of a grass roots artist achieving stardom would be a slight understatement because Dylan has done this on his own terms.
First Look: Julian Rose – How Deep
Julian Rose has today released his new video titled 'How Deep'. Julian is one of those artists that I like so much because he has his own style. That smooth mix of suave and swagger. And, to get that and 'get it', at such a young age, is the sign of true talent. The kind you get from good genes and even better ears.

First Look: Kenavo Goodbye – L’été
Kenavo Goodbye has released their new video for the track titled 'L'été'. From the intro of that sweet and dirty riff, I knew I was in for something different. That certain something that doesn't come along that often. What I got was that sweet spot in #indie music when alternative was still called Post Modern and the cool kids were still underground.
First Look: Saadin Dassum – Tomorrow
Saadin Dassum has released his new video for the track titled 'Tomorrow'. Saadin is a hard artist to pin to a genre. His songs seem to come from wherever in that private place that true musicians filter their inspiration through to churn out original content. I hear pieces of Joe Jackson and other avant garde pop and music icons but it presents itself as an original piece. That is the mark of a true artist.
First Look: Summy – Said It After

First Look: Rylo Rodriguez – Benz Truck
Rylo Rodriguez has released his new video for the track titled 'Benz Truck'. Some say that only when staring at the abyss is when one finds their character. The best musicians and artists find that character because they are usually the ones that suffer the most. So much so that it becomes a part of their music.

First Look: POESY – Multiply
POESY has today unleashed her new video for the track titled 'Multiply'. After getting over that killer electronic bass line, I was astonished by the voice that POESY possesses, or possesses her. New fan, right here. The power and angst conveyed in each signature note is something you have to hear to believe. I can't explain it.

First Look: Stefano May – False Horizon
Stefano May has today released his new video for the track titled 'False Horizon'. Being one of the first, if not THE first, to write an actual review (not a cut & paste release) for a song that clearly deserves it, are those moments I live for. It's like finding a hidden gem in a pile of sand. And, this song clearly deserves it. The work that went into the video alone is on a cinematic level is awe inspiring.
First Look: Pitou – Big Tear
Pitou has released her new video and single titled 'Big Tear'. the first thing you will notice is that Pitou is a singer that feels the lyrics. Knows the song on a deeper level....
First Look: Tracy Gallagher – Caves
Tracy Gallagher has today released her new video for the track titled 'Caves'. Filmed in a haunting and dark setting orchestrated by Tracy's mesmerizing vocal track, the song takes a twistedly dark turn after that short introduction and compiles the song in that part of your psyche most of us are afraid to go.

First Look: Cannon – College Friends
Cannon has today released his new video for the track titled 'College Friends'. I have to first say that Cannon has one of the coolest vocal stylings I've heard in a while. That being said, when 'College Friends' kicks in, well, holy sh*t.

Kat Koan & the Lost Souls have released their new video for the track titled 'Fangs Out', from the upcoming album 'Cocoon', dropping June 7th.
First Look: Cooper Phillip – Masterpiece
Cooper Phillip has today released her new video for the single titled 'Masterpiece'. Capturing the right groove with a song is a hard thing to do. You have to have that right balance of rhythm, beat, and panache. And, to top it all off, you have to encompass all of that into a hook. This, to me, is Cooper's strength. She
First Look: Monte – I Hate Me More
Monte has today released their new video for the single titled 'I Hate Me More'. Thrash punk in all of it's original glory from the heart to the masses with conformity getting the first f*ck you and a no-holds-barred with every lyric, Monte gets right to the point with music that should make a solid comeback, but until then, we have Monte holding that flag. Admit it, this is how we all feel but are too afraid to say anything.
