Roundup: the Hot Half dozen for August 17, 2020

reviews of the best that came across my desk this week

Black Magic, single and video by Satellite Citi.  Anna Gevorkian (vocals, drums) and her crew of SoCal rockers  deliver a powerful anthem from their forthcoming album Fear Tactics.  Download this one and and check out the video at  https://www.youtube.com/satelliteciti. Music at  www.satelliteciti.com and all platforms

 

Love & Money, single/music video by art-pop chameleon Valerie Lighthart featuring  Queer Latinx Artist Solana. A highly produced exploration of  the “Intrinsic Femme Nature”.  Great song, great costumes, great dancing.  So much fun – but pointed. Now Streaming Everywhere

 

Lonely Girl. single, Reyna. Composed of sisters Vic and Gab Banuelos, Reyna  produces pop that not only makes you bounce but makes you think while it keeps its youthful energy.  Fun, fun, fun. On Spotify and all platforms.

 

Somebody Else, single by Kat Meoz.  LA-based Venezuelan-American singer-songwriter delivers a dark  gritty and hypnotic song colored with her unusual voice.  A hit. Now streaming everywhere

 

 

Angelitos Negros, single by Mireya Ramos with Camilo Laura.  The founding member of the Latin Grammy winning Flor de Toloache drops her second solo single, a soft, melodic Spanish ballad that shows off her angelic voice.  Streaming everywhere or download on all platforms.

 

The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Single/video by Nickelback.  This electric guitar update of the Charlie Daniels tale of the devil being bested musically at a Georgia crossroads has heavenly and devilish guitar riffs.  Loved the song, although the video does not do it justice.  Available digitally everywhere.
