Wide ranging this week from Foreigner (in Spanish) to Guitarricadelafuente in English and Spanish, to Iluka and Maggie Szabo in English. Great rock and romance.
Check out the video of Estevie – beautiful, talented, hot! Followed by a new song from the popster Binx that is nostalgic and sweet, plus a big new album from the boys of Bandolos Chinos. Lots of fun.
Check out the short film on todays HHD – it will blow you away. Grammy-nomed singer Gaby Moreno visits her childhood home, which is rapidly being destroyed by sea level rise. Haunting images, haunting music.
I spent some time listening carefully to the 100+ songs this week and found the most beguiling was the renowned Lupita Infanate’s new release “Seguimos O No?” Followed by The Cocktail Slippers, Rhinnnon Rodriguez, Esteman & Daniela Spalla and a few others. Am eclectic mix this week.
Got some blues this week, Carolynn Wonderland and Ollee Owens. Plus Ariana Grade’s new album and the very fun and playful Cuarteto De Nos.
Lots of variety this week. New Zealand country, dreamy pop, blues, Rockalypso
From blues to blues to corrido to alt country to…. A good week with Samantha Fish, La Santa Cecilia, Japanese Breakfast, and more
6 songs from Mexico, the US. Spain that range from dream pop to straight pop to just dreamy
Slow week- only 75 submissions (next week I will swamped) but some really good ones. Patricia Vonne, Delilah, Tommy Castro…all fun
Rum Boogie by Southern Ave. It keeps you going, along with the sweetness of Tish Hinojos
a, Dalia Dumont, and Close to Monday from Europe.
Ringo goes country…sort of of. But it is fun, along with Whitney Tai, Ana Moura, Yeemz and more.
Indie rock from Soccer Mommy, a 20-song monster album from Natalia LA Fourcade, cumbia, love songs, pop and rock. Greats selections tis week from only 83 songs submitted. Sometimes less is more.
A eclectic mix, starting with 50 years of Herb Alpert and moving on to the dreamy electropop of Charli Lark, and the romance of Irene Diaz.
Very eclectic this wee. Reggaetón, jazz, romance, rap. Its all here.
Elsten Torres finally released the full Real Artificial album, I give Jackie Bristow’s 2024 release “Good Miles” go a spin, Â Nicole Zignago and Agris bring lovely Mexican music to us, an Half Waif’s new album is devastatingly beautiful.
a lot of variety this week. Pop singer X-Ari, Spanish guitarist Twangero, blues rock guitarist Alih Jey with a dreamy ballad, regional Mexican by Erika Vidrio, and Ariana Grande’s latest
Only 90 songs and albums submitted this week, but a couple of gems, including Herb Alpert’s 5oth album.
A wide range this week from 150 songs and vids and albums. From American pure pop, to fun Mexican, to dreamy tropical, to drivn’ blues rock.
^ very powerful songs emerged this week out of the 247 sent to me. I am still reeling from “This is How We Speak in Tijuana” by Adriana Ross. The new Tom Petty songs re pretty damn good too
