<p style="text-align: center;">Here is a real good surprise. Our song of the month.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">When we heard the first notes of "Full Speed" by Brian Mikasa, we already knew that we would like it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The impact of an electric guitar followed by a piano makes a huge effect!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And then this delicate voice begins to sing words written to perfection and in an impressive accuracy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">When the violins arrive after 1:20, we understand that we are dealing with a versatile musician.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And at 1:39, the voice, pretty shy until then, is revealed in masterful flights.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The second verse marks a return to calm and restraint.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Return of the electric guitar at 3:02 to remind us that it is above all a rock song.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Brian Mikasa is a nice surprise, and we got into his universe. We listened to the whole album "<em><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/6OucrD6bABdSy0jhZd51d6?si=QQOc1EaDRH6GnEo7vtnfPg" style="color: #ff0000;">Kill Like An Animal</a></span></em>", and we got a slap.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The artist from Ventura, California, masters his art to perfection.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The album contains electro, rock, rap ... Brian is comfortable ... in everything!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Everything is well placed and clean. One of our big favorites of the year.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A gem to find in our <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3odyrU1OA2pdHm6pNVwwfP?si=kVWUD6jDRVSzl1DTOEUfXQ" style="color: #ff0000;">March 2020 Spotify playlist</a></span>.</p>

<p><span>We expect 77&deg;F in California this afternoon.&nbsp;A very good reason to go check it out, especially since there is a wonderful band called The Mowgli's.&nbsp;</span><span>Let's go warm up there to discover their new single "</span><em><span>Wasting Time</span></em><span>", accompanied by a very emotional video. </span><span>It was in 2013 that the band made a name for itself on a large scale, with "</span><span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RZqPq1-1Tw"><em>San Francisco</em></a></span><span>", whose music video has accumulated more than 4 million views on Youtube to date.&nbsp;</span><span>As for "</span><em><span>I'm Good</span></em><span>", if we combine&nbsp;</span><span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHT5KNoWjzY">the video lyrics</a></span><span>&nbsp;and&nbsp;</span><span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx8hmQX8Q30">the official music video</a></span><span>, we exceed 5 million plays!&nbsp;</span><span>Pretty scores that make you dizzy, and we wish "</span><em><span>Wasting Time</span></em><span>" the same fate!&nbsp;</span><span>And with more than 18 million views of their Youtube channel, and with more than 45,000 subscribers, there is no doubt that this single will have the impact it deserves.&nbsp;</span><span>The group has evolved well since its beginnings, which we were able to follow ourselves a few years ago.&nbsp;</span><span>The melodies are real anthems, each time, and the writing is done more and more carefully.&nbsp;</span><span>And "</span><em><span>Wasting Time</span></em><span>" really stands out!&nbsp;</span><span>With backing vocals already present in the intro, the song benefits from a percussive bass line, which, coupled with a delicate rhythmic, already makes us shake our heads during the first verse.&nbsp;</span><span>You don't have to wait more than a minute for a powerful chorus to land, which will stay in your head for hours.&nbsp;</span><span>With a song mastered to perfection, and with impeccable accuracy, the group takes us into their pop universe, where each note is placed like a Mikado piece.&nbsp;</span><span>The song is built little by little, until a final in apotheosis, filled with good-feeling, feeling reinforced by the high quality video. What a wonderful way to start 2020!</span><span></span></p>]]></content:encoded>

<p style="text-align: center;">The emotional power of this song is incredible. You'll love the gradual rise to a stunning final. And it deserved a "Song of the Month" feature. "Run Like Hell" is an anthem. America's Got Talent finalist <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a href="http://www.taylormathewsmusic.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="color: #ff0000;">Taylor Mathews</a></span> offers us a masterpiece. His voice is so sweet, so pleasant to listen, that, with this unusual heat in France, we would fall asleep at the sound of this beautiful melody, and dream of infinite landscapes. The melody, let's talk about it! Simply divine. Whether verses or choruses, the melody is incredibly catchy! It can be learned easily even before the end of the first listening. The production is clean, and the track sounds so professional... We really hope that this new single will internationally launch the career of the young singer. Now, Mr. Mathews, we'll need a new album! And we will be as much supportive as we can! Available on <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/1khhNWm8gorYGeUexlThpP" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="color: #ff0000;">Spotify</a></span>, and included in our "Song of The Month" playlist.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>February has Valentine's Day, so it was inevitable that the song of the month would be a beautiful love declaration! And here is Niclas Lundin from Sweden, with "Something About You". The words can not be clearer: "You're the sea and you're the sky, You're the dark and you're the light, I can't explain it, it's just quite amazing. You're my calm and you're my storm, You're everything I've dreamed of and more, There's just something about you". With a great melody that stays in the head for hours after a single listening, Niclas Lundin signs a very strong and powerful song here. Despite he has unique voice, Niclas had, until now, remained in the shadow, writing for Martin Garrix, among others. And taking the microphone was the better idea he had. Now we need an album! "Something About You" is available on Spotify. And we couldn't resist the pleasure of sharing a second jewel, from the same artist, below.</p>

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>[ENGLISH VERSION BELOW]</strong></span></p>
<p>Voila notre premi&egrave;re chanson du mois pour 2018! Au cas o&ugrave; vous ne le sauriez pas, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MarieDigby/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mari&eacute; Digby</a> a &eacute;t&eacute; propuls&eacute;e sur le devant de la sc&egrave;ne lorsque sa reprise acoustique du titre de Rihanna "Umbrella" est devenue virale sur Youtube.</p>
<p>Cela a fait un tel buzz que Hollywood Records a sorti son premier album, "Unfold", qui a fait son entr&eacute;e en 29&egrave;me position du Billboard 200 Album Chart en avril 2008.</p>
<p>Pr&egrave;s d'un demi-million de fans plus tard, un nouvel EP sera disponible le 9 f&eacute;vrier, dont voici le premier extrait, une jolie ballade toute en douceur et en simplicit&eacute;.</p>
<p>C'est super professionnel et incroyablement bien produit. Cela dit, c'est produit par Bryan Cook (U2, OneRepublic, Train, rien que &ccedil;a!).</p>
<p>Sa voix nous enchante du d&eacute;but &agrave; la fin, sur une m&eacute;lodie facile &agrave; retenir et tr&egrave;s agr&eacute;able. Quelques notes bienvenues pour commencer la semaine du bon pied.</p>
<p>Disponible sur <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/wildfire-ep/1328109570" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">iTunes</a>, en pr&eacute;-commande de l'EP du m&ecirc;me nom.</p>
<p><br />-------------------</p>
<p><br />Here is our first "Song of The Month" for 2018! In case you didn't know, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MarieDigby/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mari&eacute; Digby</a> burst onto the scene when her acoustic cover of Rihanna's "Umbrella" went viral on YouTube.</p>
<p>The associated buzz led Hollywood Records to release her debut album, Unfold, and it debuted at No. 29 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart in April of 2008.</p>
<p>Nearly half a million fans later, a new EP will be available on February 9th, which comes from this first extract, a pretty ballad in all its softness and simplicity.</p>
<p>It's super professional and incredibly well produced. There's a good reason: it's produced by Bryan Cook (U2, OneRepublic, Train, just that!).</p>
<p>Her voice enchants us from beginning to end, on an very pleasant and easy-to-remember melody.&nbsp;Some beautiful notes, which are welcome, to start the week off right.</p>
<p>Available on <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/wildfire-ep/1328109570" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">iTunes</a>, when you pre-order the "Wildfire" EP.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>"Les arbres sont des sanctuaires. Celui qui sait comment leur parler, celui qui sait les &eacute;couter peut apprendre la v&eacute;rit&eacute; "- Herman Hesse.</p>
<p>Quand vous voyagez autour du monde autant que Marcus Friman, notre artiste du jour, venu de Su&egrave;de, le voyage vous change de fa&ccedil;on si profonde qu'il commence &agrave; devenir introspectif &agrave; un moment donn&eacute;.</p>
<p>Vos luttes pass&eacute;es et int&eacute;rieures se transforment en points de rep&egrave;re, qui se mettent &agrave; jour lentement mais r&eacute;guli&egrave;rement &agrave; chaque fois que vous y repensez.</p>
<p>Sur ce morceau, l'exp&eacute;dition emm&egrave;ne l'artiste dans les terres rudes de la douleur ineffa&ccedil;able.</p>
<p>"<em>Cette d&eacute;tresse silencieuse qui d&eacute;coule d'un pass&eacute; sans r&eacute;ponse semble &ecirc;tre partout dans les m&eacute;dias de nos jours, avec la controverse sur des &eacute;missions comme "13 reasons" comme plus r&eacute;cent exemple. "There's a Reason" fournit un message rassurant et fortifiant &agrave; celui qui l'&eacute;coute</em>", nous confie l'artiste. Et sur nous, &ccedil;a a fonctionn&eacute;.</p>
<p>Nous retrouvons chez Land of Trees ce go&ucirc;t de la musique naturelle, sans instruments artificiels, et sans synth&eacute;s &agrave; tout bout de chant.</p>
<p>La voix est tout juste magnifique, et surtout unique. On le dit souvent, mais pour un artiste, c'est toujours un avantage &eacute;norme d'&ecirc;tre reconnu &agrave; sa voix d&egrave;s la premi&egrave;re seconde.</p>
<p>Tout en nous rappelant un peu Passenger (souvenez-vous de "Let Her Go" il y a quelques ann&eacute;es), Land of Trees, c'est un univers bien particulier, et qui lui est propre.</p>
<p>Et on s'y sent bien. C'est chaleureux, c'est confortable, et on en redemande. C'est pour &ccedil;a qu'on vous la propose en chanson du mois. Parce qu'on ne s'en lasse pas.</p>

<p><span>When we have chills after only 2 seconds, we can say that it is our song of the month (and for once, that of November).&nbsp;</span><span>Right in the Indie Music Center concept.&nbsp;</span><span>The incredible voice of Freya Ridings calls out to us from the first second and makes us stop whatever we are doing.&nbsp;</span><span>There is vocally a little London Grammar side, which we will not hide.&nbsp;</span><span>And musically, the melody is just amazing.&nbsp;</span><span>Freya comes to us from London, is only 23 years old, and released a first single called "Blackout" last May.&nbsp;</span><span>And she's already blasted a million streams on Spotify.&nbsp;Like what, we are not mistaken!&nbsp;</span><span>There are some artists who make you take off in just a few seconds, and without falling for almost 4 minutes.&nbsp;</span><span>They are rare to be able to do so.&nbsp;And they're only on Indie Music Center.&nbsp;</span><span>We are delighted that Freya Ridings is part of it, and we can promise you one thing: you will hear from her soon... EVERYWHERE! Bet?</span></p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Red alert. Comprenez "Alerte Rouge".</p>
<p>Gr&acirc;ce &agrave; cette chanson, on a eu envie de cr&eacute;er une rubrique "Song of the Month". Parce que franchement, on a eu un gros gros coup de coeur quand on l'a re&ccedil;ue.&nbsp;C'&eacute;tait il y a une semaine. On a explos&eacute; le bouton "Replay". On &eacute;tait comme des fous. Et quand on a vu que &ccedil;a sortait QUE le 19 octobre, on a serr&eacute; les dents. Quel supplice d'attendre une semaine pour partager cette merveille avec vous.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Alors pourquoi ce morceau nous a marqu&eacute;? Tout simplement parce qu'il rentre exactement dans le concept de "Music For Your Heart". Et &agrave; 100%.</p>
<p>Pour bien comprendre en d&eacute;tail, on vous invite &agrave; faire comme nous, lors de la premi&egrave;re &eacute;coute : asseyez-vous, branchez un casque, et montez le volume assez fort.</p>
<p>Beth Mend&egrave;s marque un premier point dans les premi&egrave;res secondes de la chanson gr&acirc;ce &agrave; sa voix. Singuli&egrave;re. Unique. Agr&eacute;able. On entend pas des voix comme &ccedil;a tous les jours. Et pour un artiste, &ecirc;tre reconnaissable facilement d&egrave;s les premi&egrave;res notes, c'est un grand avantage.&nbsp;Tr&egrave;s peu peuvent s'en vanter.</p>
<p>Ensuite, deuxi&egrave;me point : les paroles et l'&eacute;locution. M&ecirc;me si vous n'&ecirc;tes pas bilingue, vous pourrez facilement comprendre les paroles car l'&eacute;locution est parfaite pour les fran&ccedil;ais que nous sommes.</p>
<p>Sur un c&ocirc;t&eacute; plus technique, maintenant, Beth marque encore un point. D&egrave;s les premi&egrave;res phrases, vous entendrez une petite reverb (pour les non-initi&eacute;s, c'est une sorte de petite r&eacute;sonnance) combin&eacute;e &agrave; un l&eacute;ger &eacute;cho st&eacute;r&eacute;o. D'habitude, les artistes ont la facheuse tendance &agrave; en abuser. Et au final on se retrouve avec des chants "en direct des toilettes". L&agrave;, ce n'est pas trop. Juste ce qu'il faut. Bravo.</p>
<p>Puis, quatri&egrave;me point, important dans une chanson, les paroles. Certes, c'est une chanson de rupture, mais Beth Mendes ne se contente pas du classique "je t'aimais, c'est fini, on va chialer". Non.<br />Elle y va cash : "pourquoi t'as merd&eacute; avec moi?" ou encore "pourquoi c'&eacute;tait si facile de briser mon coeur?".</p>
<p>Cinqui&egrave;me point, encore plus important. Les m&eacute;lodies. Dans un morceau, nous distingons deux m&eacute;lodies : la m&eacute;lodie instrumentale et la m&eacute;lodie chant&eacute;e. De nos jours, c'est rare quand &ccedil;a matche. Bah l&agrave;... si.<br />La m&eacute;lodie reste facilement en t&ecirc;te, et c'est encore un &eacute;norme avantage pour un artiste, car quelqu'un qui a aim&eacute; la chanson va la chanter, la fredonner. Puis susciter la curiosit&eacute; de celui qui l'entend. Et voila comment on se fait de la promo gratuitement et simplement : le bouche &agrave; oreilles.</p>
<p>Enfin, sixi&egrave;me point, la vid&eacute;o qui accompagne la chanson. Parfaitement r&eacute;ussie. Pas surjou&eacute;e. Une ambiance feutr&eacute;e et un &eacute;clairage ma&icirc;tris&eacute; qui met en beaut&eacute; le visage ang&eacute;lique de la protagoniste.</p>
<p>Bref, vous l'aurez compris, Beth a tap&eacute; dans le mille.</p>
<p>On a &eacute;cout&eacute; la chanson 7 fois en &eacute;crivant l'article. On s'est m&ecirc;me fait d&eacute;connecter du site et on a d&ucirc; recommencer une deuxi&egrave;me fois toute l'&eacute;criture. Eh non, &ccedil;a sauvegarde pas. Pas grave, on nous y reprendra plus.</p>
<p>Mais &ccedil;a prouve que cette chanson rend accro. Peut-&ecirc;tre le deviendrez vous, vous aussi. Merci Beth.</p>]]></content:encoded>
