Check out the Place For Me track by Bad Love. Think The Cure, The 1975, and LANY. The Manchester based four-piece describes themselves as sad boy pop writing anthems that belong to the no hope, heart-broke generation. The pandemic generation needs hope because they have no directive. With no directive and being dazed and confused the generation are told to mask up, stop the spread and we’re all in this together. By the way, who came up with slogans? I don’t know, it doesn’t matter now that we have Bad Love, because they’ll offer solace in the storm.

Legendary artist Van Morrison came out swinging the way the government is handling covid. You’re probably like, “Who is this guy”? He’s the singer-songwriter that sings Brown Eyed Girl. So the guy that wrote the song that will live on radio forever had enough of covid and is rallying musicians in a campaign to restore live music concerts with full capacity audiences.

The 74-year-old singer based in Ireland launched a campaign to “save live music” saying socially distanced gigs were not economically viable. “I call on my fellow singers, musicians, writers, producers, promoters and others in the industry to fight with me on this. Come forward, stand up, fight the pseudo-science and speak up,” he said.
Morrison will play socially distanced gigs in England next month, but says this isn’t a long term strategy.
“This is not a sign of compliance or acceptance of the current state of affairs, this is to get my band up and running and out of the doldrums. This is also not the answer going forward. We need to be playing to full capacity audiences going forward.”
Did you see the that The UK held its first socially distant concert? People were placed in chicken-styled pens hoisted by a metal platform. Check out to here.

Watch out for electro pop artist FLORE and the track Tsunami. I listened to the track a few times and it grew on me. If you like pop & chill you should give it a stream. The track will come off her EP SUPERBLOOM which was produced by Berlin Indie pop producer & artist NOVAA. Having been compared to Stevie Nicks, Zella Day To Hayley Williams, she’s also been a blog favorite with shutouts from Ear Milk, The Line of Best Fit, I Heart Moosiq.

“BTS ‘Dynamite’ Breaks YouTube Record for Most-Viewed Video in First 24 Hours, With 101 Million Views”

Are you surprised by the headline? I’m not. Of course they have formulated pop songs and coordinated dance routines down to a science, but The K-Pop boy band has an army that helps them conquer charts.

The BTS army is like a paramilitary group with advanced equipment. They have the ability to mobilize large number of fans from making banners and buying ad space in Times Square to coordinating streaming parties to spike numbers on Spotify and YouTube. This leads to media headlines like “BTS gets the most views in 24 hours”
Surprisingly, the army also targets radio and award shows. When it comes to indicators and boosting rankings, they’re on it. Heck, BTS is mentioned an average of 600,000 times on Twitter per day, reports Brand Watch. They won best social media artist, but how could they not?
I’ll be honest, I’m not sure how fans could pull this advanced weaponry off and turn this k-pop boy band in a cultural phenomenon. For a second I’m thinking does the South Korean government have a play in this?

I mean, BTS is worth more than US$3.6 billion to the South Korean economy every year — on par with the contribution of 26 mid-sized companies.
But no. The government is not. In fact the BTS Army launched an appeal to have the members spared for serving in the army, but the PM isn’t having any of it. Despite an appeal by the BTS army, the PM ordered the members of BTS to serve in the army which is a requirement for all citizens. In fact, the oldest member of the group Jin who is 27 would be the first to go off and join the army. All members will have to serve in the near feature which means BTS has peaked and the clock is ticking. But don’t worry, a new group is on the way. Let’s see if they come with a well organized army like BTS.

Look out for Nashville based Nick Fabian and the track Steady, you may like it. He draws inspiration from a variety of artists including John Mayer and Allen Stone. Listen, he has a good voice, that kind of voice where he sings on NBC’s The Voice and the chairs turn around. Give the track a stream and let me know what you think.
