Stanley Simmons, a duo made up of the sons of KISS' Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, have released "Dancing While the World Is Ending."

Musically, this sounds like a combination of "roots rock" and early 80's AOR. It's upbeat, catchy, and I had a great time listening to this.

oscar med k has released "Say No Prayer," a collaboration with Izzy Bizu.

This midtempo EDM track is catchy, but it also has a soothing feel to its musical arrangement. Izzy's vocal delivery is a perfect fit for a song with this kind of a vibe.

Check it out and see what you think.

Album Review: Tina Arena – “Don’t Ask”

Tina Arena released Don’t Ask, on November 14, 1994. However, the version I am reviewing here is the reissue from 1996 that has a different tracklist and different cover art than the original Australian release.

Singer-songwriter Liam Wall recently released "8th Wonder."

This mid-to-uptempo pop rock track is catchy and has such positive vibes in its musical arrangement. Liam's vocals perfectly capture the speaker's emotions at falling head over heels for someone.

Recently, dance producer Jay Bird released "No Exception."

This mid-to-uptempo EDM track fuses together pop, soul, and house elements to create a great dance song. The flow and feel of the uncredited male vocalist's performance perfectly complements the music.

GT_Ofice has released "Easy," a collaboration with Matthew Topper, Martial Simon, and ZHIKO.

This EDM track has a light and breezy sound to its arrangement, which contrasts with the tone of the lyrics. This works, though, and ZHIKO's vocal performance sells it.

Check it out and see what you think.

Recently, Right Said Fred released a new version of their 2013 song, "Raise Your Hands."

I liked this track and I thought it sounded quite catchy. This shows how Right Said Fred has progressed musically and that there's more to them than just "I'm Too Sexy."

Check it out and see what you think.
