Surviving As An Indie Artist: Music Review (Crooked Flower)

I was sent a music video titled "Around & Around". The video is of a band named "Crooked Flower". I really enjoyed the video and music. The music sounds really good. The lead singer has a sweet, sultry voice. The lyrics of the song are great. The chorus of the song is very catchy. The video is engaging. I enjoyed the use of all the psychedelic colors. The only thing I did not like about the video, is that at certain points, it was clear that the lead singer was lip singing. That made the video slightly cheesy. I love the section of the song that starts around 3:20. I assume this is the bridge of the song. The vocals and guitar during the bridge are soulful and passionate. Overall, this song is a hit.

Surviving As An Indie Artist: Music Review ( Eddy Yang)

I was sent a tune titled "A New City". This tune was written and performed by Asian American indie artist Eddy Yang. I will start by saying  this is not a song  I will add to my personal play list. The tune sounds a bit outdated. It sounds like a tune from a 90's  teenage melodrama, for example, Dawson's Creek. However, certain elements of this song makes it a solid body of work. The melody of the song is catchy. The guitar solo is excellent. The lyrics and vocals flow well with the music. The song sounds like a mixture of country, rock and pop music and that combination of genres work well together . Yang's EP "A New City" is set to be released April 5, 2019.  Click here to check out the latest tune from Eddy Yang. Written By Raye Cray
