Findlay Napier – “Under the Moon”
-If you’re looking for a sweet old time flavor in your folk music, check out Findlay Napier’s latest track “Under the Moon.” The expressive piano work is what stole my heart on this one. The vocals are great too. To be transparent, the song reminded me a lot of home. I suppose that’s the whole point; it’s about the desire to be all connected with those you love. It’s a beautiful tune and the execution is absolutely delightful.
Emma Hamel – “City Lights”
-The bouancy of the vocal and the flitting, floating energy of the piano on this song make for a vibrant and engaging combination. As the song rolls on, the lyric of “the future looks bright; I’m looking at city lights” really pops here. The composition is both sparing and conveys conviction. I think the easiest comparison here is Dodie Clark, but there are certainly other similar artists in this 21st century pop folk realm. Hamel’s writing is extremely high level and I look forward to more music like “City Lights” for our playlists in the future.
Brendan Hamilton – “Little Things”
-If you’re looking for an up tempo pop-flavored style of folk, check out “Little Things” by Brendan Hamilton. There’s a lightness and energy to the song that’s sure to appeal to a lot of folks. Hamilton’s vocal comes across with conviction and significance, conveying the importance of perspective in life. The acoustic guitar riff at the center of the composition ties it all together nicely. Folks who like timeless themes of thankfulness and contentment will find a lot to like about this song. It’s a great perspective all the time and feels perfect for this holiday month.
