Zach Top “I Never Lie”

If you’re not tracking Zach Top, you are missing out.

Big time.

He broke early this year with his hit “Sounds Like the Radio”, and hot damn, he’s on a roll.

He’s got that glorious 90’s Country sound and it just makes my heart all kinds of happy.

His new single “I Never Lie” is perfection, and if you haven’t heard it yet, here you go:

Right? Isn’t that great? Sounds like the radio in 1994, as Zach Top mentioned in his previous hit “Sounds Like the Radio”.

Zach is the next big thing. Mark my words.

He’s also a pretty awesome guy, as evidenced by my interview with him from earlier this year:

Isn’t he a doll?
Check out his debut album “Cold Beer and Country Music” out now.
You’re welcome.
Zach Top is here to help save Country Music!

“Get Low” Christmas Version

Well, this is utterly and completely necessary.

One of my favorite creators- There I Ruined It- just made my holidays a little merrier.

Did we really need a holiday version of Lil’ Jon’s “Get Low”?

I think we did.

Well, if that doesn’t jingle your bells, I don’t know what will.

Aw, skeet skeet.

This will be in my head all day, and I will most likely sing it out loud, so my sincerest apologies to anyone I encounter today.
 

Oliver Anthony “Country Roads”

Oliver Anthony- who went mega-viral last year with his hit “Rich Men North of Richmond”- just dropped a cover of John Denver’s “Country Roads” and it’s pretty dang great.

I’ve always loved this song, and there are so many versions of it out there, but Oliver’s definitely stands out with it’s simplicity and authenticity:


Dang, son.

Now Oliver had announced recently that he has left the music industry to focus on ministry. He also said he would still be making music and outting it on his youtube channel.

Good. He really is one heck of a pure talent.

Kelly Clarkson “All By Myself”

Yep, I’m fangirling over Kelly Clarkson again, and wih good reason.

She just pulled off what I thnk is one of the best Kellyokes EVER.

Eric Carmen’s “All By Myself”, done in the style of Celine Dion.

Just, damn.


Those vocal runs, though.

As I have said a million times before, there is NOTHING Kelly Clarkson can’t sing.

What song would you like to see Kelly Cover next?

 

I’m still holding our for a verison of Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters”.

You hear that Universe? I’m manifesting that.

Get to work.

 

Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga Live in Vegas!

I am floored.

I mean, I already know that Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga are some of the best talents in the business, but this recent live performance in Las Vegas of their hit duet “Die With a Smile” is just wow.

Like really, really, wow.

It is so rare for artists to sound as good or better than they do on a recording, but Bruno and Gaga just proved why they are still relevant and some of the absolute BEST out there.

Bruno is currently at the Dolby Live in Las Vegas, where he is in residency.

Also, I think we need a collaborative album with these two, don’t you think?

Oh, and just for comparison, here is the recorded version:

Again, WOW.

 

Kelly Clarkson “Ain’t That Lonely Yet”

Dang. Kelly Clarkson can literally sing anything.

Her latest “Kellyoke” segment on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” features Kelly covering another one of my favorite artists Dwight Yoakam, with a gorgeous rendition of “Ain’t That Lonely Yet”:


Slay, Kelly, slayyyyy…

I love how she can take a song that is completely different than her own voice and style and make it sound like her own.

I could honestly see her releasing this as a single.

Maybe just a whole album of Country covers?

Again, universe, you heard me. Now make it happen!

You can catch the “Kelly Clarkson Show” weekdays on NBC.

 

Lady Gaga “Disease”

Lady Gaga announced earlier this week that she had more new music coming, and she made good on that promise this morning by dropping the Rock tinged track “Disease”, and, of course, it’s pretty damn good.

I mean, it’s Gaga after all.


I love the rock edge, and I’m feeling Nine Inch Nails “Closer” vibes as well as a tinge of her song “Bloody Mary” in there.

I’m definitely not disappointed, and it’s already taking up rent-free space in my head.

The song is most likely off of Lady Gaga’s upcoming 7th studio album, which we know she has been working on.

This song defnitely bodes well fr the rest of the album. I’m hoping for more Rock Gaga in he future.

You hear that universe? Make it happen.

 

 

Morgan Wallen “Love Somebody”

How about new Morgan Wallen to kick off the Friday?

He’s been teasing a song called “Love Somebody” for months now, and it’s finally here, and like almost all of Morgan’s music, it does not disappoint:

Pretty dang good, right?

Morgan Wallen released a statement about the song, which will be off his upcoming 4th studio album:  “Love Somebody’ is a little bit of a new approach lyrically and sonically. I wanted to try something different, with what I wanted to talk about, how I wanted it to sound, and we were inspired by Latin-leaning influences. I’m really excited about this song and pumped that it is out.”
Kudos to Morgan and his songwriting team. They clearly made another hit.

Again, Morgan is working on his 4th studio album… no release date or any other info on it at this time, but trust that it’s going to be another banger.

In the meantime, Morgan is on the road, selling out shows, and you can get more info, dates, etc at https://morganwallen.com/

 

Kelsea Ballerini “First Rodeo”

Kelsea Ballerini is getting ready to release her new album “Patterns” next Friday, October 25th, and like most artists, these throwing out a few songs early to get you ready.

Her new song “First Rodeo” is perfection.

Check it out with the new official video:


I have to hand it to Kelsea… she has really come into her own as an artist. I wasn’t that big of a fan in the mid 2010’s when she was all over the airwaves with hits like “Yeah, Boy” and “Love Me Like You Mean It”, but she has certainly grown as both a songwriter and a vocalist. Also, she looks like Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood had a baby. I’m not wrong here.

Again, Kelsea’s new album “Patterns” drops October 25th, and you get can tour dates and more info at https://www.kelseaballerini.com/home

If Iron Maiden Covered ABBA’s “Dancing Queen”

I love stuff like this.

Another favorite creator of mine is Moonic Productions, and he’s always doing random mash-ups that shouldn’ work, but they do.

Like this version of ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” in the style of Iron Maiden.

Brilliant.


Don’t lie. You were totally rocking out to that.
