What's New....And More To Come!

Okay, so I'm going to make a little apology in advance for this post. It's going to be music based, and I've done a lot of those lately. Yes I realize that this is not a music challenge, but what readers should probably know about me is that I really like movies, music, television, and reading. A fair amount of blog posts based on these topics should be expected. So what I want to do in this post is highlight some new and upcoming music that I think is worth taking a look at. Let's dive right in.

I'm a big fan of 90's music, as you could maybe tell during my 90's inspired post during the 30 day music challenge. One of my favorite 90's bands is Matchbox 20. When I heard they were getting back together to release a new album in September, I was thrilled. Here is the first single off of their upcoming album. I can't wait to give the whole thing a listen!

When it comes to Tenth Avenue North I'm on again off again. Sometimes I think their music is good and other times I think it is just okay. Well, if the single Losing off of their upcoming third album is any indicator, then this could really be an amazing album. I love everything about this song. It has a great message and I love the way it progresses from the simple beginning to the anthemic end. Now bear with me, I'm really not a fan of the way they did this video, but it has the best sound quality of any of the YouTube videos and I wanted you guys to really be able to hear this song.

Toby Mac makes some interesting music. I've been particularly impressed with his last two albums, and I am really looking forward to his album that comes out at the end of August. The first single off of the album is pretty catchy, and again has a great message. Hope you enjoy!

There has been a surge of folk/pop bands these last few years that I find interesting. While I'm really not a huge fan of most of these bands, one that I do find interesting is Milo Greene. They released their album earlier this month and I've yet to pick it up (trying to save some money). The first time I actually heard one of their songs it was in a blog post by Brooke White. She posted the song 1957 and I think it really shows what this band is capable of. Have a listen.

This final song is off of Britt Nicole's newest album, which again I don't own yet. When it comes to Britt Nicole, I like some of her songs, and then others just really aren't my style. This song is one that I wouldn't have thought I would like, but it's actually pretty catchy and I really like the collaboration with Christian rapper Lacrae.

Actually looking back at this post I'm not such a fan of any of these videos (with the exception of the Toby Mac video). The point is so that you guys can hear the songs though, so don't focus too much on the videos.
