Get The Picture: Nothing Less Than Nostalgia

Nothing Less Than Nostalgia is an energy-inducing album produced by Get The Picture. It is a collection of pop-rock-punk tracks with two tracks as acoustic and remix. Take A Chance might at first sound like the usual pop-rock song, but this track has that kickass energy enveloped around it. First, the vocals is very distinctive and is perfect for a pop-rock genre. Second, the musical instruments such as drums, guitar, bass, etc fuses that will release a neon pop-rock. Lastly, it is very catchy and simply rocks.

Black City Lights: Another Life

Another Life is the seventh album released by the newest pop duo, Black City Lights. An arresting combination of a twisted dark pop, melancholy, and phantom voices, Another Life will intoxicate you with their unusual turn in music. Phantom. That would be the perfect word to describe Children. The chilling wave of the synthesizers, dubsteps/electronica complemented with the apparition-like vocals. This song is a beautiful hallucination that tickles and eventually jolt your reflective mind.

Luke Gallant: Unplugged EP

Off we go to another EP filled with more relaxing acoustic tunes. Not much is said about Luke Gallant the musician — either Google won’t return our queries, or the search giant can’t pinpoint which one of the similarly-named dudes is the real one (or both). However, we’re sure of one thing: the one who’s crooning in this EP is a really talented guy.
