Song of the day - "Knock Me Off My Feet" - SOAK

If you are looking for a sassy, breezy, non mercurial song to brighten your January afternoon, take a SOAK. SOAK, the 22 year old multi talented musician from Northern Ireland will be releasing her first new music in 3 years. The first I heard of her was yesterday on the indie/alt wonderfully eclectic radio station WTSQ. The first chords instantly grab you with their infectious pop and lighthearted sizzle. Intitially, it reminded me of the opening of the indie band, Ivy, whose music was underrated for it's alternative snshiney vibes. SOAK, the alias of Bridie Monds - Watson sports a tight, cropped pixie, a flowery like neck tattoo and no prisoners stare. She ushers in a fresh nuanced anthem like song for 2019. "You can again, again, knock me off my feet/But I won't stop now you can take a seat"

The video shows her as an amateur demolition derby on a small race course. THe mini vehicles rush around the track. There's a smack and a crash. Her car is pushed to the side. Plumes of pink smoke emerge She waits for the emergency crew while she sings "Maybe it's all in my brain/ People don't look at me the same/ I feel weird something's changed"
She gets back in the race in the next scene. Racing hard to capture the winning spot. The last scene follows her initial journey in her red race driver suit and sees her high atop a hill. "She won't be beat".

The scissoring guitar mixed with light hearted timber like percussion give SOAK's latest track instant ear worm status

Song of the day - "Turbulence" - Archpalatine

"Turbulence" Starts with his utilizing his voice as an instrument along with his nimble fingers taking care of the keys. The low rush of background singers whispering “Palatine” sneaks in as he continues to resonate. As his voice hits its crescendo the pop of the drums whips in a surprise. The deft use of the kit rushes in, quick and edgy. The song rolls on with dramatic flair while his voice ascends "We will take the chance to fly away" He plays his vocals again as he sings Taaaturbulence then the gust of the drum takes over like a strong supporting character. A song rich in drama and operatic elements, comparisons to Queen are fair. And again the drumming continues stellar. Listening to this song is like being enveloped in a short play. I can imagine the majestic costumes and sweeping set design. Also I see color when I listen to “Turbulence”; scarlet, rich gold and shades of charcoal much like the picture I just posted. Interestingly I...
