We Won't Go Home

The Colourist released their video for their single "We Won't Go Home" from their forthcoming self-titled debut album (due for release tomorrow) and it's just as youthfully exuberant as the song itself. 

Hazy images and colorful tints laid over intermingling shots of a party and the band's performance gives the video a laid-back vibe which mimics that perfectly fun melody and upbeat rhythm with ease while the back and forth dialogue of the pre-chorus ("I said 'Hey, where are you going?'" "Well I don't know but truly you can see we're moving way too slow") gives the track a fresh feel and makes it impossible to not sing along.

Check out the new video below and get the single now when you pre-order The Colourist on iTunes.

Chandelier

Sia released her single "Chandelier" and everything from the heavy beat which opens the song and the pulsating and electrifying melody that throws itself in just in time for that chorus to the emotionally wrought verses which state "party girls don't get hurt, can't feel anything, when will I learn? I push it down, push it down" and "I'm the one 'for a good time call', phone's blowin' up, they're ringin' my doorbell, I feel the love, feel the love" are gut-wrenchingly heartfelt and open.

The haunting beat and soft melody culminate in an emotional chorus which is impossible to ignore as Sia's flawless vocals beg "help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down, won't open my eyes, keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight". Check out Sia's latest single below and grab it from iTunes now.

Peoples

Cheers Elephant released the music video for their single "Peoples" and the simple lyric video matches the relaxed vibe of the track perfectly.

The clapping hands and steady rhythm give the song a fun and solid base while the soft chords and group vocals combine to create a sweetly addictive melody that feels just like a day at the beach. Articulate lyrics which read "these people aren't people, they're just people only gettin' in the way", "everybody's got to love someone sometime", and "what is it that's leavin' the light on, but locking the door?" only make the beach ready track even better and and turn that already fun melody into something which is more than a little irresistible.

These Times

It is SafetySuit Saturday and, as I have gone through all of their previously released tracks and the band has been on an apparent social media hiatus since January, I'm going to start bringing back some of their best tracks.

The video is truly fantastic (put together with the help of their fans), the song's composition is just as moving as ever, but soft enough to give Brown's vocals the spotlight, and every lyric line from the opening "these times will try hard to define me, and I'll try to hold my head up high, but I've seen despair here from the inside, and it's got a one track mind" to the last repetition of "these times are hard, but they will pass" is perfect.

Check out "These Times" below and get the band's EP and two previously released albums from iTunes, as well as the single, "On Your Side", from their forthcoming third album.
