Soundcheck Nov. 15

Hope everyone is staying warm in this snowy weather! Catch up on the songs from today’s show here. Lots of new music this week, including the gorgeous single “Cast Away” from Ella Vos, who got her start on Soundcloud, and Sandro Cavazza & Lou Elliotte with their duet “Used To.”

St Lucia’s third studio album, Hyperionis out now.  The songs are as electric and synth-pop as ever, but also have a fresh, lyrically sophisticated optimism to them. “Walking Away,” featured on today’s show, “Last Dance,” and “Next to You,” all capture this fun yet ambitious sound.

Another recent release is Imagine Dragons’ Originstheir fourth album in six years. They’ve maintained that signature musical style – big percussion, big hooks, and big production – but there’s also a novel, introspective quality to some of the tracks. “Burn Out,” played on today’s show is one of those songs, as is “Birds,” another standout which manages to recall Coldplay’s Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head days.

Soundcheck will be off for Thanksgiving next week. I hope everyone has a good holiday, and safe travels to all.

Soundcheck Nov. 8

Thanks for tuning into this week’s Soundcheck. Check out the track list for the show here.

Glades’ debut studio album To Love You is finally here! Ever since this trio out of Sydney released “Drive” and “Falling Away” back in 2015, I’ve been waiting for a full length album. “Drive,” their most popular song to date, makes an appearance on this album, as do many more new songs. “Nervous Energy” and “Eyes Wide Shut” which both had airtime today are standouts.

In other new music news, Elle King, of “Ex’s & Oh’s” fame is out with her sophomore album Shake the Spirit. She works with heavyweight producer Greg Kurstin on this one, and she continues to write or co-write all her songs. Also check out London duo Ider’s latest single “Mirror.” The video for it which just premiered on Fader is beautifully shot and worth a watch.

Soundcheck Nov. 1

Happy November! Catch up on songs from today’s show here.

Tom Odell’s much anticipated third studio album, Jubilee Roadis finally out. The title track, as well as “Half as Good as You,” released as a promotional single earlier this year, are both standouts. Odell’s vocals, piano and songwriting prowess are as strong as ever. Long Way Down is on heavy rotation here at Soundcheck, so I’m looking forward to giving airtime to some of these new tracks over the next few weeks.

Also check out two new songs K. Flay is featured on: Ekali’s “Forgot How to Dream,” and Mike Shinoda’s “Make It Up as I Go,” from his album Post Traumatic. Always great to hear new material from her, and the electronic/EDM sound on Ekali’s track is especially fun.

Thanks as always for tuning in, and hope everyone stays warm and dry in this rainy weather.
