Came across four new singles this last week that you just may want to audition...
"NOT ENOUGH"-STACY CLARK
"NOT ENOUGH"-STACY CLARK
For me, Tori Amos and Ani DiFranco come to mind when listening to "Not Enough," a track from singer-songwriter-guitarist Stacy Clark. The disjointed piano intro makes this Adult Alternative ballad one of the more interesting tracks of the month.
"JUNK OF THE HEART (HAPPY)"-THE KOOKS
The first time I heard of the band the Kooks was through a song that was included on the 2009 charity album "War Child Presents Heroes" where they covered the Kinks classic "Victoria." The band's new single "Junk of the Heart (Happy)" is a lightweight cut from their album of the same name (set for release this September).
"JET LAG"-SIMPLE PLAN
Simple Plan has been known as a Canadian punk-pop band, but their latest single "Jet Lag" is a lot less punk and a whole lot more pop. I guess that's unavoidable when Natasha Bedingfield is the guest vocalist. Take a listen. Who knows, you may like it.
"MAJOR MINUS"-COLDPLAY
Lastly, another U2ish sounding rocker from Coldplay's latest project. According to Chris Martin, "Major Minus" is about people who "express themselves in negative environments" and cited the White Rose Movement (a group of German children who printed anti-Nazi flyers during World War II) as inspirartion.
