A lot of new music is released over the course of any given
week and this one was no exception. The last seven days saw a myriad of new
songs and music videos hit the internet, especially when it came to rock and
pop. Waterparks, Yungblud and Huey Lewis & The News are just some of the
artists with new music out this week.
Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, loves new music.
That’s why we’ve once again scoured the internet for some of the week’s best
new songs and music videos. Here are six (and a few more) we think are worth checking out.
1.
Ice Nine Kills, “IT Is The End”: I like the
theatricality of “It Is The End.” A tribute to the film ‘It,’ the song is part
circus funhouse and part metalcore shout-fest in the best, most balanced way
possible. The video elevates the song with its production and storytelling. (video)
2.
Yungblud, “Hope For The Underrated Youth”: “Hope
For The Underrated Youth” goes on a dramatic journey. The song is slow compared
to some of his others, but its drawn out nature allows for so much passion to
be delivered in his lyrics. He makes a clear point about the collective state
of mind of youth nowadays, then highlights it with a near-hopeful chorus that
is oozing with feeling. (video)
3.
Waterparks, “High Definition”: Not as
electronically driven as their previous singles (though Awestin Knight does
seem to make his voice vibrate in the beginning), “High Definition” feels like
a step back into the pop-punk sound of their last album. The song is soft and
slow, an easy and impactful pace to deliver its biting lyrics. (video)
4.
The Darkness, “Easter Is Cancelled”: The title
track from The Darkness’ upcoming concept album, “Easter Is Cancelled” is a bit
everywhere, shuffling between loud and soft parts, sometimes multiple times
within a 30 second period. This accentuates the dramatic nature of the song and
its place in the story. Lead singer Justin Hawkins’ high falsetto works well at
both frequencies, moving as easily between the two as the guitars switching
between heavy metal power riffs and ethereal power ballad grace. (video)
5.
Jeff Lynne’s ELO,
“From Out of Nowhere”: The 1970s never ended as far as Jeff Lynne’s ELO is
concerned. “From Out of Nowhere,” the title track from the band’s just
announced new album, sounds as if no time has passed. The song is light and
melodic, highlighted with falsetto back-up vocals and a churning guitar melody
that makes you feel like you stepped out of a time machine. (video)
6.
Huey
Lewis & The News, “Her Love Is Killin’ Me”: Huey Lewis & The News
is back after a ten year hiatus and they’ve never sounded better. The mix of
swing and rock on their new single “Her Love Is Killin’ Me” is infectious and will
have you up and dancing from the start of its saxophone-led intro. (video)
