These experimental sounds jell well with the rest of the song as they bring out interesting dynamics that enhance “Just Memories”.
“Spaceship” by Joe Nacco
American Indie Rock artist Joe Nacco releases “Spaceship” as part of his space rock concept album entitled Lost Records from the First Invasion. The song starts off with interesting instrumental intros with spacey sound effects and a blazing electronic guitar. The vocals come in around the minute mark with their robust hard rock sound. The song has sort of the late 80s (and maybe early 90s) sound with the type of vocal and guitar sounds used. “Spaceship” is a well-polished rock song with an intriguing rock solo intertwined with rock vocals.

The combination of soul, rock, and funk in each element of the song is what makes “Groovington” a worthy listen. It is sticky-sweet with its groovy melodies, yet has the energic fierceness found in the vocals that you cannot pass upon.
“Careless Whisper – Lex & Friends Version” by Lex Borja
Lex Borja covers the legendary song “Careless Whisper” by George Michael in a unique way. Borja’s version is sexy yet slick as he transforms the song into a silky R&B mid-tempo jam.

“Come With Me” by Edy Forey
Scottish retro-soul artist Edy Forey lies down the cool with this laidback track. “Come With Me” is a nonconformist anthem about breaking up with the world of superficial relationships.

Listeners have to listen to the second verses as there is a unique twist with Edy rapping!
“Vulcan Dome” by Sunrise and Ammunition
US garage rock band Sunrise and Ammunition experiments with progressive, experimental, and psychedelic music to bring their newest single “Vulcan Dome” to life. This track is an interesting track with experimental sounds mixed with progressive rock ones that blare passionately. There is a type of edginess featured in the addictive guitar riffs, yet there is a sort of softness in the middle with the vocals. Listeners have to listen to the end as the band creates an innovative soundscape with so many different sounds that are enjoyable to listen to.
“Easy On Me (Duet with Chris Sloan)” by Natalie Nicole Gilbert
Natalie Nicole Gilbert is back with her beautiful rendition of Adele’s “Easy On Me”. The track features guest vocals by Chris Sloan. Gilbert delivers a powerful performance in her rendition as her robust vocals are like a beacon of light: beautiful and inspiring.

If you are looking for something dynamic and awe-inspiring for this week, then you have to listen to this rendition of “Easy on Me” now!
“Negative Thot” by Common Deer
Common Deer wants listeners to get up and dance with their buzzing single “Negative Thot”. The track is a combination of indie guitar sounds that the band heard when they were younger with electronic sounds. The band really blends a popish sound in the verses with a blaring, high-energic alt-rock sound in the chorus. “Negative Thot” will of course have listeners dance along, but also have sung out loud vigorously during the chorus. It is such an intoxicating listen!
