Five noteworthy selections heard today:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- On A Summer Holiday-Fascinations Grand Chorus (Fun, chirpy power pop with everything on the surface lyrically.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- My Blue Heaven-Miss Jubilee (There's a convincing throwback swing pastiche in the vocals and instrumentation.)
KCLC 89.1 FM
- Call It Like It Is-Bailen (A rhythmically and vocally strong new release with a solid hook. These are good, direct lyrics, as well, about trusting your intuition when something seems off.)
WFUN 96.3 FM
- I Love Your Smile-Shanice (More than 30 years later, these vocals are still a pick-me-up.)
K297BI 107.3 FM, a.k.a. WFUN-HD2
- Wang Huiran: Yi Dance (Xuefei Yang, guitar) (The frequent tremolo on guitar suggests that this piece would translate easily to the mandolin.)
