Charity Single For World AIDS Day: Bright Light Bright Light “Everything I Ever Wanted”

For World AIDS Day, out singer Rod Thomas (currently touring with Elton John) has released this charity single “Everything I Ever Wanted.” From Bright Light Bright Light:

“I really wanted to do something to help raise money for World AIDS Day. I know many people who have been affected by the disease and making pop music, I don’t get to do an awful lot that feels like it helps a wider community. And while I love working in a pop world, it’s so important for me to still be connected to the real world and real people. “I hope we can raise money, and in some small way I can help to fight AIDS and to give something back to Elton to thank him for all his support of my work, by raising money for his AIDS Foundation and the excellent work he and his team do.”

A portion of all proceeds go to the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Available now on Amazon.

New Music: Matthew Connor “Midnight Blue”

Atmospheric, melodic and moody, Matthew Connor’s newest – “Midnight Blue” – sounds and looks like it would be right at home in an episode of American Horror Story.

No “freak show” here, just haunting visuals and gorgeous vocals reminiscent of Elvis or Ray Orbison.

Quite the change up for Matthew, who spent time as the front-man for electronic dance-pop band Provocateur before heading out as a solo artist in 2011.

His latest album, Farewell Motel, follows two earlier EPs, Ghost Town and Denouement.

Check out his official website here.

Out singer/songwriter Eli Lieb has just released his newest music video “Lightning In A Bottle,” which sends a message of self-empowerment to his listeners.

This song is really special to me. Everyone is fighting a battle.

I want people to see this music video, hear the song, really listen to the lyrics, and live their truth.

I want this to inspire people to not be afraid to break free and embrace who they are. I believe that being 100% your true authentic self is the key to real happiness and joy.

Life is celebration and we are all beautiful beings!!

Jeb Havens and Tom Goss cover Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off”

Who needs professional dancers and high-end production when you’ve got out singer/songwriters Tom Goss and Jeb Havens? These two “bear-y” talented guys only need a trash can, some mics, and a keyboard roped to a sawhorse.

Check out their “trashy” take on Taylor Swift’s hit song “Shake It Off.”

Love both of these guys. A think a hallmark of both artists is their lack of self-consciousness. They just hit “go” and share exactly who they are; no calculation, no overthinking.

Check earlier posts featuring Jab Havens here and here; and more Tom Goss here and here.
