Although I don't say this every week, I feel that "New Music Monday" not only showcases some new music but it also showcases the freedom we have to create, perform, and listen to it. I would like to take a moment to honor those in our military, and their families, who give their lives on a daily basis so we may enjoy things like this. Your service and dedication to our country is greatly appreciated by all of us!
This week, I wanted to feature some new tunes from two American Idol alums: Haley Reinhart and Casey Abrams. This is a special New Music Monday for me because I had the privilege of meeting both of them last summer on the American Idol Live! Tour. Since the show, both have started their careers off pretty strong and I believe both will do well in the industry. I hope you enjoy this double dose of new music!
First up, Haley Reinhart. She came in third place on season ten of Idol and has released a new album called "Listen Up!" The first track on the album, "Oh My," is a catchy tune that features the rapping styles of B.o.B. I really like it because it's a pop tune but it also has a jazzy feel with the addition of orchestral instruments like the bari sax and others.
Next is one of the many Idol favorites from season ten: Casey Abrams. His self-titled, debut album will not be released until June but he's already released one of the songs on it called "Simple Life." It's a really cool, laid back tune. Going with its title, the song is very simple and will definitely have you singing along.
