Envidia, single by Maria Raquel y Sus Maravillas. Great merengue with attitude. The lead vocalist and lyricist, native Colombian bilingual singer and songwriter Maria Raquel  lays down  wry melodies and moves with a  rock beat and hot Latin percussion and horns .  This will make you get up and baile!  Stream on Spotify.

Maybe I’ll be Gone, single and video by Jeen. The third single released from the Canadian alt. rocker’s forthcoming album Dog Bite,  this sonic road trip swirls and leaps and grabs you by the gut – or the throat.  This girl really knows how to rock!

The 606, single, video by Gone To ColorwithJessie Stein. Dreamrock at its best. From the forthcoming self-titled debut album, the song  soars with the hypnotic vocals of Jessie Stein and Gone To Color’s orgasmic electronic percussion. A trip well worth taking.  Videos on Vimeo.  Stream on Bandcamp. Follow on Facebook, twitter.

Givin’ a Damn (Don’t Go With My Outfit), single by Pamela Hopkins. The Queen of Sass is at it again, this time telling the world in grab-your-gut county blues that she don’t really care what it thinks of her, she is living her life the way she wants to. Makes you move and smile and cheer.  Stream on Spotify. Follow at Pamelahopkinsmusic.com and all socials. Check out the YouTube video

Background Songs for Your Boring Life, Part 1, by Revenge Wife. Forceful and whimsical at the same time. Light, happy beats driving a serious conversation with one of the most unique voices out there today.  I like it; so will you.  Stream on Soundcloud, Spotify.  Follow on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.

This is Life, single by Maggie Szabo. Maggie rolls out another hit.  What more can I say? If you are a Maggie Szabo fan, you know;  if you are not, you should be and this song will do it for you. Stream on Spotify, follow her YouTube , channel,  Facebook and twitter and allaboutmaggie.com
