Trousdale -
Do Re Mi

If you like perfect harmonies and great songwriting, this is for you. Trousdale is a pop/folk band out of southern California with three lead vocalists: Quinn D'Andrea, Georgia Greene and Lauren Jones. They sound like they have been singing together their whole life and their rich three part harmonies are something really special. Their latest single, Do Re Mi, is a textbook example on great pop production and features some really interesting harmonic and chordal movement.

Maddie and Tae -
Through The Madness

Maddie and Tae have been putting out their own brand of female led duo country for a while, and their latest release features some great pop productions over a modern country sound. Evan Hutchings does a great job on drums. His use of lofi loops, interesting programming, and modern grooves works really well together. Derek Wells also brings some fantastic guitar tones to the table.

SIX - Live (Opening Night)

SIX is the latest Broadway sensation that is a modern retelling of the lives of the six wives of Henry VIII presented as a pop concert. The wives take turns singing and telling their story to see who suffered the most due to Henry and should become the group's lead singer. The new cast recording was captured on the musical’s opening night in New York city. The cast and band sound fantastic.
