Young Hearts /  by E

Strange Talk's latest single, "Young Hearts", is really the most important song you're going to hear for a while. 

The track feels simultaneously fuller and lighter than the band's earlier work while the lyrics are completely amazing (not a single line is bad) and that melody will be stuck circling your head for days (and you'll be happy about it).

A chorus which states "grown ups, what do they know, living by the stories on the radio, bad news on the T.V., headlines are made of reality, we're young hearts, look at us go, all we really need is a stereo, we're young hearts look at us go, there's no stopping us we will carry on" is put together so articulately that it's impossible to not want to sing along and the chorus is only made better when the composition drifts into its vocal hook (a series of 'na, na, na's which are ridiculously addictive). 

Lines like "we wake up and we go to school, together breaking every rule, they say that we're just young and fools", "remember all the memories and every little fantasy, careless of our destiny", and every other line in this song are fantastic because they show that the band has actual talent and that they can create a song that could stand on its own, without its insanely catchy chorus, if need be (that's great because bands that don't need a catchy chorus to support their songs can create the most crave-able music).

Basically, every line is amazing, the composition is so far past perfect, and that beat is going to make you want to dance, so you might as well fall in love with the song now. Check out the sites below and get the song from iTunes now.

Fall Apart /  by E

      Two brothers from California came out with an amazing song and you won't realize how addicted you are to their single until it's too late to do anything but listen to it on repeat.

       The sweet chords suck you in at the same time that the steady rhythm insists you move with the song and an adorable chorus ("this how books get written, this is why tales are told, and this is what we'll tell the children when we're old, c'mon take me home I've been waiting all my life for you, I could be alone if I thought I wasn't right for you, whatever comes along I'll be putting up a fight for you, c'mon take me home, yeah, let me fall apart with you") makes it so easy to want to sing along. 

       The track is not immediately addictive, but it grows on you, slowly, until you're sitting there humming it and trying to figure out where you first heard it and it won't stop circling in your mind until you've heard it again; save yourself the time spent trying to find it later by downloading the track (for free) by clicking on

True North /  by E

       More than anything else, this should make you smile; Zayne's vocals are so satisfyingly rich that they're impossible to brush off and, with such classic vocals immediately taking precedence over anything else, it's hard to even focus on the sweet lyrics that run throughout until after a few listens. 

       The composition fuses together pop-rock, solid soul influences, and just enough of an electronic undertone to give the track some extra life while adorable lines like "staying out late till the sun came up, chasing emptiness, always testing my luck, heard the stories of love but they were not for me until you struck me down, like lightening, on my knees" and the repetition of "you're my star, my true north lady, you take me so far, but with you I'm home" make it impossible to not fall for this song (and so easy to start playing it on repeat).

Ready Set Go /  by E

       Royal Tailor set a new precedent for the Christian pop rock genre with their self titled sophomore album and their latest single, "Ready Set Go" (featuring Capital Kings), shows off their fun mix of pop beats and powerful lyrics. 

       The song is full of energy from its start, with a strong riff and prominent rhythm supporting fantastic lyrics ("broken hearts on the city streets, but I can hear that you're calling me to be the hope, be the light, be the love right now") and urging the song forward but, when the chorus comes around with "you put my life in motion" and a beat so great that it becomes physically impossible to not move along with it, you should be hooked on the band's music.

       This track will leave you craving more from the band so check out their sites below for more music, get the album from
