here they are:
"Fever Pitch" by Rainbow Kitten Surprise: In a decade where a "My Little Pony" reboot has proven to be one of the most successful cartoons, it only makes sense that someone would name their band something like "Rainbow Kitten Surprise". So, is their music as cute as their band name makes it sound?! Well...not exactly. It's kinda funky. Their lead singer bears a slight resemblance to Nathaniel Rateliff in terms of how he looks, and it sounds like his music does too. This song will not make you go "aww" like a rainbow or a kitten would. Instead, it's "surprise"-ingly soulful and groovy!
"Lash Out" by Alice Merton: Our next entry is pretty funky as well. Having already gained major success on the alt and adult alt charts during Autumn 2017 with "No Roots", Alice Merton returns to the charts for Spring 2018 with "Lash Out". Propelled by thick, funky guitars and a pulsating beat, "Lash Out" is a song about what pretty much everyone desires to do at some point when they feel under pressure. The impassioned, pent up anger released in Alice's voice during the chorus of the song makes us wanna lash out too. It also makes us wanna dance!
"Pink Lemonade" by James Bay: In an amazing switch from sounding less like Sheeran and more like The Strokes, "Pink Lemonade" marks singer/songwriter James Bay's first real dip into rock music. Opening with a propulsive guitar riff in F sharp minor, "Pink Lemonade" is enough to make fans out of people who weren't previously James Bay fans. From beginning to end, the song grips the listener and doesn't let go, especially once the drums kick in at about 15 seconds into it. The song appears to be about indecision regarding what to do in a relationship, and its title is only mentioned once in the song when James says he "want(s) to drink pink lemonade and watch movie trailers 'till it's late". I'm not one for drinking lemonade, regardless of its color, but this song sure makes me wanna dance all night!
