As we get into the holiday season, there may be fewer new
tracks to cull from, but there have still been some great new songs and music
videos that hit the internet this past week. That includes new releases from
the likes of Wayne Brady, Pentatonix, Ozzy Osbourne and more.
Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, loves new music.
That’s why we’ve once again scoured the internet for the week’s best new songs
and music videos. Here are five that we think are worth checking out this
weekend.
1.
Wayne Brady, “Flirtin’ With Forever”: [Spoiler
Alert] Following his win on the second season of ‘The Masked Singer,’ Wayne
Brady released a new single. “Flirtin’ With Forever” shows off Brady’s smooth
R&B vocals in a fun, swoon-worty way. His classic style is easy to listen
to and makes you want to groove along. (video)
2.
Pentatonix, “You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch”: Pentatonix’s
cover of ‘The Grinch’ favorite “You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch” is anything but
classic. The acapella group shows off their newest member’s soulful vocals
here, jazzing up the song’s vile
descriptions of the Grinch with a knowing smirk and a grace the original (or
the character) doesn’t have. (video)
3.
Ozzy
Osbourne, “Under the Graveyard”: Ozzy Osbourne released an official video
for his track “Under the Graveyard” this week, getting very personal in the
process. The video graphically tells the story of him and wife Sharon’s
relationship and how she saved him from his drug addiction. It’s beautifully
done and the power of their love comes through clearly. (video)
4.
Machine Gun Kelly, “Why Are You Here”: Machine
Gun Kelly heads in a more rock direction with his latest single “Why Are You
Here.” The song itself isn’t very different from his usual fare, as most of it
is accompanied by a pop-punk melody to begin with. But there isn’t that much
different about his sung vocals than his rapping, which makes it an easy
transition. The song is also upbeat and catchy, which is sure to suck you in. (video)
5.
Front Bottoms, “Camouflage”: The Front Bottoms
have released the first single from their upcoming, as-yet-untitled new album. “Camouflage”
is a good mix of classic Front Bottoms and the band’s more recent sound. The speak-sung
vocals, lyrics and phrasing of the verses are reminiscent of songs like “Beer,”
while the hefty rock sound and instrumental melody is something the band has
gotten into with their recent releases. They also add in short bits of The
Talking Heads’ “Once In A Lifetime,” which is a great little sample and fits
well with what the band is trying to do. (video)
Even with the holidays upon us, there were still some great
new songs and music videos released this week. Check out some of our favorites
