New Good Song: "Take My Number," Melissa Etheridge 10.3.14

Here's a new good song: "Take My Number" by Melissa Etheridge. Yes it's new, even though it sounds as though it could be a bonus track from "Your Little Secret," her 1995 album. This is a completely applaud-able effort that, while not groundbreaking, represents a flavor that's missing from the today's musical spice racket. Just good mid-tempo Adult Pop/Rock fare. Enjoy.

New Good Song: "Jealous," Nick Jonas 10.3.14

Here's a new good song: "Jealous" by Nick Jonas. This video doesn't do the song any favors, but as a straightforward pop song, this well-written, -produced and -performed. Also, Nick exercises, so he's sexually desirable. Enjoy.

New Good Song: "Anaconda," Nicki Minaj 10.3.14

Here's a new good song: "Anaconda" by Nicki Minaj. A co-worker put it well when she said that although this song is unnecessary, and heavily samples and equally unnecessary song, it's a lot of fun. This was the right track for Nicki to unveil to keep the public's interest. Nice work. And nice fat ass, too.

New Good Song: "I Remember," Saint Saviour 10.3.14

Here's a new good song: "I Remember" by Saint Saviour. Quiet though this is, with its gentle acoustic guitar and whispery harmonies, it's just such a lovely piece of songwriting, it should be heard. Not everyone's cup of tea, I'm sure, but a gem for those willing to sail at this pace.

New Good Song: "Aftermath," Fever Fever f/ Stephanie Lauren 10.3.14

Here's a new good song: "Aftermath" by Fever Fever f/ Stephanie Lauren. This has characteristics of Switchfoot and Creed, with what appear to be spiritual themes given an emotive rock treatment. This song has an effective build and a chilling outro. Enjoy.

New Good Song: "Cool Kids," Echosmith 10.3.14

Here's a new good song: "Cool Kids" by Echosmith. I was at first turned off by the sentiment of this song, only because it's a little cliche. But then again, it's hard to find a song whose sentiment is original. Getting past that initial impression, I began to adore this song based on the music and production. What a fantastically constructed instrumental -- appetizing use of string effects, haunting male background vocal line, brilliant use of drums. It all works marvelously well.
