here they are:
"Even Though It Hurts" by Devon Gilfillian: Neo-soul sensation, Devon Gilfillian, returns just in time for the fall season with the sensitive R & B ballad, "Even Though It Hurts". With his debut song, "Get Out And Get It", Devon was the perfect ray of sunshine for neo-soul fans everywhere during the spring and summer. As the year becomes quieter and more settled down, though, "Even Though It Hurts" will be the perfect song to provide warmth to cold hearts as Devon croons of heartbreak over slow, smooth, slick R & B grooves!
"Might Be Right" by White Reaper: Don't fear the reaper! The White Reaper, that is. In spite of the band's scary sounding name, they're really more of danceable post-punk influenced band. The guitar solos in their song, "Might Be Right", are similar to more mainstream 1970's rock groups like Boston and Queen, even though the rest of it doesn't sound like that. The lyrics seem a little repetitive in some parts, but the song itself is both catchy and quirky enough to make you forget about that!
"Sing Along" by Sturgill Simpson: If ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man" got a 2010's techno-pop makeover (with a bit of country music influence as well), it would probably sound like Sturgill Simpson's "Sing Along". Sturgill seems to be going in ZZ Top's direction, actually, going from Southern rock to more new wave-y stuff without losing his roots-y appeal in the process. There is a reason the song sounds so futuristic, actually. It's because it is part of an album that also serves as the soundtrack to the noir-ish, sci-fi anime series, "Sound and Fury", which is exclusive to Netflix. Why Sturgill Simpson is doing an album that ties with an anime series is anyone's guess. I suppose this is the year where anything can happen, though!
