Week In Review: New Songs / Music Videos You Need to Check Out (June 23-29, 2019)


A lot of new music gets released over any given week. This week was no different, as we saw a wealth of new songs and music videos hit the internet over the past seven days, especially when it came to rock and pop.

Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, loves new music. That’s why we’ve once again searched the internet for the best new songs and music videos of the past week. Here are seven (and a handful more) that we think are worth checking out.


1.       Fitz and the Tantrums, “All The Feels”: “All The Feels,” the first single from the band’s upcoming album of the same name, is a catchy, feel good track. The song builds off of a slow, finger-snapping groove, the melody hugging the beat and growing more and more joyous as the track progresses. (video)

2.       Sabrina Carpenter, “In My Bed”: One of her more funky pop songs, Sabrina Carpenter’s latest single “In My Bed” has an infectious dance club vibe. The song’s prominent beat takes over at the chorus, becoming its backbone as the lyrics and melody wrap around it. It’s also very catchy and will get stuck in your head. (video)

3.       Finneas, “I Lost A Friend”: Sometimes you don’t need a lot of instrumentation to create emotion. Finneas’ latest track “I Lost A Friend” is a vocal-driven track about losing someone you care about. Accompanied mainly by piano and a little bit of synth, Finneas’ vocals rise and fall with the song’s intense emotions, giving it a personal, honest and passionate feel. (video)

4.       Sigrid, “Mine Right Now”: “Mine Right Now” has a big, joyous melody that just makes you smile when you hear it. The lyrics take the stance that living in the present, regardless of what may happen later, is important. She’s happy because she has her significant other right now. That kind of delight really shines through in the lyrics and melody. Also, whether it’s meant to be or not, the video is pretty funny. (video)

5.       Neck Deep, “She’s A God”: Part Vertical Horizon’s “You’re A God,” part The Starting Line, Neck Deep’s “She’s A God” is a pop-punk power track. The song’s upbeat melody and passionate vocals paint a brilliant picture of how the singer feels about his girl. (video)

6.       Liam Gallagher, “The River”: With its fuzzed-out guitars, plodding bass and airy vocals, Liam Gallagher’s “The River” has that classic Brit-pop sound that wouldn’t seem out of place on an Oasis album back in the day. Written to rally the listener into taking action against injustices, the song doesn’t get so overly political that it takes away from the overall experience. (video)

7.       Sub-Radio, “Dreamcatcher”: “Dreamcatcher” is that quintessential low key track most pop-punk albums have and Sub-Radio does it well. The melody is sweet, the beat is easy and it makes you want to vibe along. (video)

Further Listening:
·         Redd Kross, “What’s A Boy To Do”: (video)
·         The Soft Cavalry, “Never Be Without You”: (video)
·         Slaughter Beach, Dog, “Heart Attack”: (video)
·         The Black Keys, “Sit Around And Miss You” and “Fire Walk With Me”: (Sit / Fire)
·         Korn, “You’ll Never Find Me”: (video)
·         Ed Sheeran, “Beautiful People”: (video)
