"First Time" is the first single from Lifehouse's new album "Who We Are" that is slated for release on June 19.
The independent artists that I am featuring this week are the divineMAGgees. "Little Black Crow" is a track from their debut studio CD "love me like the roses."
On Who We Are, singer-songwriter Jason Wade—along with drummer Rick Woolstenhulme and bassist Bryce Soderberg—gets back to the basics of what made him first form the band while still a teenager in suburban California.
Says Jason: “We just love making music and feel really lucky to be able to continue doing it.”
Producing themselves for the first time with Jude Cole, who also co-wrote several of the new songs, that joy comes across unfettered on the rocking twang of the lead single, “First Time,” already climbing the Hot A/C and Top 40 charts, a fond look back at the butterflies and excitement of the initial rush of romance.
“It just felt urgent, like a first kiss, a first love,” says Jason. “Like the first time you realize there’s more to that relationship than you thought. I had to dig a little for that one, but I find myself at a place where I can write stuff that’s a little deeper than your average love song in terms of emotion.” ...read more here.
The other songs added this week are "Devil Inside" by INXS; "Domino" by Van Morrison; "Witchy Woman" by The Eagles; "Beautiful Flower" by India.Arie; "That's All" by Genesis; and "What's Love Got To Do With It" by Tina Turner.Since the fateful night seven years ago when Cregan and Danielle met in a Boston bar, the duo has lived up and down the east coast and performed throughout the country at festivals like Michigan Womyn's Music Festival, SXSW in Austin, NXNE in Toronto and International Folk Alliance in Memphis. Maine was the birthplace and home of divineMAGgees (pronounced "Maggies") until 2004, when the duo sought to expand their touring base by moving south. After a year in Athens, GA, they settled in Asheville, NC, in the heart of the southern appalachians.
Individually, Danielle Tibedo and Cregan Montague bring years of musical training and experience to this mutual labor of love. ...read more here.
Happy listening!
