Song of the day - "Super Superior" -SUPERBIRD

SUPERBIRD is set for takeoff. They aren't going to land anytime soon.
Their latest offering "Super Superior" dropped today. Early this Summer they gleefully released the super delicious tunes "Cola Bottle Fizz" along with "Kiss Chasing Stars". Both had accompanying videos which were a breath of fresh color drenched air. Joe, Alex, and Freddy (see my Superbird Interview article) put a true dazzling show each time they take a stage or even bop in front of the camera for one of their infamous Vlogs. (subscribe to their channel). They possess some rather bold fashion choices which completely work for these bearded boys from London. They look simply marvelous in sequins, fuchsia and paisley shirts complete with unsubtle aviators. Joe sings with intense bravado on this track that I do believe is the break out track that will fully put them on the musical maze map. The double S song packs full boogie righteousness into 2 mins and 59 seconds. 

"Destiny is calling 
When the lights are burning bright
Together as One 
Tonight is the Night"


“Super Superior” rattles, funks, shakes with beguiling positivism. Much of the music coming out of the UK, that I have listened to, comes heavy with messages painting a pensive motif.  This breakout track is destined to lift your ass off your discontent chair. Life feels problematic, your news feed is flowing with obscure conception. Situations seems austere but listening to the flamboyant sound created by this peacock of a band is destined to works better than the latest antidepressant. Plus, the only side effect is that you could taint someone with your blissful state of elation.


I dare you not to shimmy and shake to this gem of a tune. The bewitching guitar riff into is antithesis of quiet. The saturated, jumpy guitar intro slides into familiar Spin Doctor lick. The groove gets rolling with the bass thunder thumping smashed against simulated hand claps. 

“Suuuuuuper Superior”

Three proves to be the magic number. Get away from the cliché that a trio is set to bring you a bevy of garage band rock. These London lads offer infectious jams usually lasting no more than 3 minutes but the high spirits will stay with you all day. SUPERBIRD offers up sophisticated styling, taught guitar rhythmic phrasing, lean bass lines and fierce drum power. These cheering lyrics prove to be unconstrained. A “GO YOU” bravura song. 

"I battled through the tough times 
Now I see the Light
Suuuuuper Suuuuuper Superior"

Dance it off.  

This funkalicious pool party song high dives into the water right at the end of the season. Shall we keep the Sunhat & full coverage bathing suit simpatico vibrations alive? I say…..I’m in!

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...

Other Music Documentary

Other Music Documentary Other Music, famously located on 4th Street with a view of Tower Records before it folded,was a destination stop for me. The small shop was neatly packed & stacked with the latest & the greatest vinyl records & CDs. This thoughtful, well crafted documentary truly depicts what it was like to be a guest at Other Music. Puloma Basu & Richard Hatch - Miller  clearly took their time to interview the owners, past staff members & the artists who got their start at OM.   Walking into OM always gave me a happy tingle. Watching this documentary evokes a similar feeling. It made me smile as if I was there pawing through the Big Star Category, the Latin flavored music & of course the latest releases. The scene with a composer clutching his hand written review card was priceless. Hearing one of the Berringer brother's bliss out about having a card at OM was a delight. He gushed "That meant the National was a 'real' ban...
