The music video “Cry” by the L.A based Acoustic folk-pop group, Faultlines was filmed with a group of friends right before the world shut down from COVID-19. Ashley Morgan, one of the lead vocalists in the band, makes a stunning solo (and in my opinion, breakthrough) performance. Her range and tone are simply divine. Full disclosure: this is a hard song to listen to if your heart has not moved on from the past and that you find yourself still longing for the person that once held your heart so gently and completely. Morgan’s voice and lyrics pierce your soul – “Sometimes I cry when I drink alone. Because you’re on my mind – now that you’re gone. Forgetting you and me – It ain’t easy.” Do yourself a favor and grab yourself some tissues for this one.
The iconic Kylie Minogue certainly isn’t letting a pandemic and the subsequent lack of open clubs stop her from dropping a disco-embracing, dance-your-pants-off album. “It’s escapism and euphoria,” Minogue told Esquire Magazine. “People need that.” The Australian singer’s 15th studio album, titled “Disco,” does just that – allows us all to escape from the world – even just for a few moments. “Real Groove” is one of the tracks on this album and it channels the sounds of the original disco scene in NYC. The song is groovy and catchy and the video has no shortages of sequence and gold (naturally!).
DVBBS highlights the easy breezy nature of California on their new track “West Coast” together with pop sensation Quinn XCII. The video features palm trees, breathtaking shorelines, and perfect weather for pick -up basketball games – only to be found in the Golden State, of course. It is an ode to the wild wild west – A State that’s untouchable like Elliot Ness (in the words of Tupac Shakur). The song allows you to become your authentic self – because apparently The East Coast “Gives you no free throws” – or at least that’s what those who are biased pronounce. Better luck next time in the East!
Comedian and singer Jake Jacob released his first gay parody called “Power Bottom” – and well – the title speaks for itself! The video set is a gym filled with hot, fit, muscular bottoms and your choice of a sea of (drag) queens facilitating the WERK of the bottoms that are so luscious and lust after!
