Amy Jay’s beautiful voice insinuates itself so well into the melody of this song, that this lyric video-in place of an actual video-is actually pretty welcome. It’s not like you can’t hear her words, on the contrary, she is very clear, but that you are lulled into the hypnotic beauty of the melody and vocal to the point of needing to re-listen multiple times to ‘get’ the lyric. Quite new to the music scene, Amy Jay has a way with melody and songwriting that will keep you mesmerized. Only One (seen/heard here)…
Read MoreThe Black Feathers have been a Vodka favorite for a while now, and if you have not as yet added them to your collection, it is high time that you did.

Read MoreSinnober is one of Vodka’s favorite duos. They generally make very carefully crafted pop songs. They are reported to be working on a new long-player which had a target release date sometime in 2017. My guess is that it will be 2018 now (since it is 2018), but whenever it comes, you can be sure that it will be excellent. Won’t some wise mass media recognize this phenomenal duo with some airplay? (Serious XM, are you listening?). Here, the duo covers When A Knight Won…
